17 Months

His vocabulary hasn't changed much but sometimes he says, "Badsa" (Bradshaw) and if we ask him where his belly button is when he's wearing a onesie he'll search and search and with a shrug says "Gone!"

Bradshaw loves his bedtime routine (scriptures, prayer, kiss for mom, then Bradshaw waves as Dustinn carries him down the hall.) and Dustinn runs the show when he's home. Well, one night when Dustinn wasn't home, we finished prayers, Bradshaw gave me loves and then he proceeded to walk down the hall, looking over his shoulder and waving the entire way. He only realized something was amiss when reached the crib and no one lifted him in!

Bradshaw has learned to pivot on one foot and loves spinning until he falls over.

He is a really good eater. When Dustinn's working late, I usually don't make dinner. Instead Bradshaw & I will have bowl after bowl of steamed broccoli. Or for a snack, I just wash off an apple and hand it to him. I am so glad to have a low-maintenance child!

Yea! I can tell from the stickers you got the package! 17 months has gone by so fast, but I can't imagine what life was like without all the joy he brings us. One more month and time for the nursery (his very first class!)....your classes will probably be quite dull without him.

Bradshaw likes apples just like his Auntie Kay Kay.
