News for the week

Here is the news for the week. Brayden turns 13 months old tomorrow. He has a few new words: bug, clock, honk, yogurt, pee pee and lay down. He can growl like a bear and make a monkey noise. His favorite book is 10 In The Bed and his favorite song is the Itsie Bitsie Spider. He loves to stick is finger up his noise when he is eating. I have no idea why. He will do anything for attention some times. I made him cry the other day because I said “No” forcefully for the first time. I was not paying attention and talking to Ben when Brayden started to rip one of his books. I had no time to redirect him and the “No” just came out. He cried for such a long time. I felt so bad. I suppose it will not be the last time. Brayden often recounts his day as he is trying to fall asleep. He will lie there running through all the words he noise and practicing his spider crawling or his sign language (the signs of a high needs baby, they never stop thinking). He will wake in the middle of the night, say some words, and go back to sleep. He is too funny! He sits so cute these days. He likes to cris-cross his legs at the angles. You can see it in the pictures. He is also really into giving kisses again. As soon as Daddy walks in the door he wants to give him kisses all night. It is so sweet.
