Nick and Amy plus TWO!: Brayden is 2 1/2 years old!

I am a little late with this post. I have been SO busy lately. I have had most of it typed out but I haven't found time to finish it until now. I cannot believe my baby boy is 2 1/2 years old! Man time sure flies by! I just love this little boy to pieces and I would not trade him for the world. He continues to amaze me more and more each day! He is so smart and so polite. He is the most loving, tender hearted little boy that I have ever met. He does not like to see anyone hurt or sad. If he thinks I do not feel good or if I am sad he will say "I sorry mommy" or " Are you okay?" I love my little boy more than words can say.

Here is what my big 2 1/2 year old has been up to these past few months!

**He knows ALL of his shapes! He learned these in a matter of minutes. NO JOKE! He knows everything from circle, oval, rectangle and even octagon. The list goes on and on.

**He can say all his colors, ABC's, and can count all by himself.

**Brayden LOVES animals and can name most of them! He has a book of 100 animals and he tell you over half of them all on his own. He loves to tell you about the animals and then make the noise that each of them make.

**He LOVES to dance!! Here he is dancing during Dancing with the Stars!

**His imagination AMAZES me! He has such a great imagination for a 2 1/2 year old! I love it!

**He loves to sing his ABC's and one of his favorite songs is "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes!"

**His favorite things are still choo choo trains! He also loves cars/trucks and planes. These are his most favorite things of all time!

He made his own choo choo train out of his toys.

He is obsessed with Thomas the train! He knows all their names and can tell you what most of them say. Here he is telling us what Gordon says....

**He talks ALL THE TIME!! And is using more and more complete sentences. He completely amazes me with his vocabulary! He is also my little mockingbird too. He repeats everything these days so you really have to watch what you say.

** Brayden is such a polite little boy. He says Please, Thank You, You're Welcome and I'm Sorry all the time! So proud of him.

**He loves to laugh and make you laugh. He gets a big kick out of it. He is such a happy little boy and brings so much joy into my life!

**He has the biggest heart and is such a loving little boy! He loves to give hugs and kisses. He will tell you he loves you and misses you and it melts my heart!
**I really could not ask for a better child. He is never any trouble. He rarely ever gets put in time-out. He does not like it if he thinks you are upset with him and he will say "I'm sorry, momma" if he even thinks you are upset with him.

**For being just 2 1/2 he is already such a big help! He will help pick up his toys and put them away and he will clean up his table and throw away his napkin when he is finished eating. He loves to help mommy!

**He goes to sleep at 8:00 pm and sleeps until 7:30 am, sometimes a little earlier, sometimes a little later. We brush his teeth and he heads to bed with no fuss! He is such a good child. He has always been that way and he has always been a great sleeper so I hope this next baby will be just the same! :)
