That is what our boy loves. By frozen waffles I mean that he likes to eat them while they are still frozen. I tried trading him his frozen waffle for a warm toasted one this morning and he wasn't having it. Crazy Kid.
So last Monday he had his 18 month check up. The doctor was concerned that he only says 3 words. Mark agreed to not watch tv so much while Brigham is up and for a week he did just that. Briggs was allowed 20 minutes of tv time a day and that is all he got. Our week without television was so wonderful. I also noticed that Brigham was definitely more chatty. The words he says are: No, nok (milk (and he only says this occasionally)), o (hello (he says this anytime he is talking on a phone. A phone is anything he decides to hold up to his ear. ha ha)) and he has started saying uh huh. That's not really a word but he says it when he is nodding yes. The television is off more than it used to be but not completely off any time Brigham is awake. That only lasted a week.
On Tuesday I was hanging some decorations in Brigham's room and he was happily playing around the house. Eventually he brought me his pajamas and he wanted to wear them. This kid loves getting dressed and wearing shoes so I took off his shorts and put his pajamas on him. He then went to his crib and pointed. I put him in and he laid down. I could not believe it. It was his nap time and I hadn't realized it but he did! I wish he did that everyday. He goes through phases with his naps. Right now he is in a love them phase and when you ask him if he wants to go to sleep he will nod and go down without a peep. I love this so much more than the "cry for 5 minutes after I am put in my crib" phase.
He is growing so much. He has a great memory and loves being outside. He also loves piggy back rides and tickling people. He loves strangers and is good at sharing with others. He also loves music and dances when he hears it. We love this boy so much!!!
Now for some pictures from the past month:
From Today: See that card box? Well that is his favorite thing today, along with the cards that were inside it.
This is from a couple days ago. Mark had to have a picture of him sleeping the way he would when he was just a little baby.
Last week I opened Brigham's lawn mower that he got for Christmas. He loves that thing. He also loves the box. He backed himself into this box and then I drug him around the house in it. He loved just being in this box so much.
One day Mark heard him making his "help" noises. Mark found him underneath his cozy coupe. I guess he got stuck when he was changing the oil. We may just need to cut out some of the sugar in his diet so he doesn't get stuck next time :)
We love bubbles in this house. He mainly likes to try and catch him in his mouth but he also enjoys blowing bubbles himself.
For Mark's spring break we met up with my aunt and uncle at a cabin they rented in Gatlinburg, TN. Krystin, Derek, and Arden were there also. We stayed for a couple days and I didn't get very many pictures. I will need to get some from Krystin. This is a picture of Brigham's first time on one of those mechanical rides. He LOVED it!
This is how he fell asleep on the way to Gatlinburg. He was really attached to this spatula for a couple days before we left up until we got to the cabin. He hasn't touched it since.
One of Briggs' favorite things to do is play in this cabinet. His most favorite thing is to open up the Abuelita hot cocoa and the baking chocolate squares and eat them. Here is is with the white chocolate.
His stats as of March 15th:
Height: 33 1/2 inches (90th percentile)
Weight: 22lbs 4oz (10-25th percentile)
He is in the 1 percentile for his weight compared to his height.
