Accomplishments!

Braxton just turned 13 months and the past month has been full of so many accomplishments! We are so proud of him! :) He is pretty excited himself...He has decided to bump up his eating from 3 1/2 oz to 4!!!
He ate his first whole jar of food. He is eating twice a day now 1/2 jar of the stage 2 jars. He loves Bananas, Sweet Potatoes, Peaches, Carrots, Mixed Veggies, he even ate Pears and Raspberries mixed! He went to a food therapist the other day because he will NOT let anything enter his mouth that isn't baby food or a toy. haha A few hours after his appointment, he decided to put a Ritz in his mouth ( he didn't really eat it but he sucked on it and that is a huge step!) When he would bite it the sound of the cracker breaking would scare him! ha
His physical therapist has just loved working with him because he loves to move and is motivated to get around. He went one week just crawling, the next crawling to sitting, then sitting and playing with toys, then crawling everywhere around the house and getting into stuff Yay!! And now he is standing up to shorter things around the house. He loves to stand up to his high chair! I am so glad he found one of his strengths...Keep on moving buddy I will gladly clean up any mess you make! :)
One day he decided to cross the kitchen lenolium into our bedroom and he found this wonderful decoration...HE LOVES IT! He will drag this thing around with him everywhere! He loves anything rod iron.

This is the first time he found the "toy"

He knows where he eats and will go up to the high chair when it's about that time to eat some baby food. ha

He finally noticed the ZHU ZHU pet and will follow it around the house. By the time he actually thinks he has caught up to it, it decides to turn itself around and go the opposite way. I am so surprised he doesn't get annoyed but if he can stay focused he will follow it.

This pic was funny because I dressed him up in this outfit and Marc thinks it's a little young for him (it's his size cuz it finally fits) but he obviously took his dad's side and did not like it at all! I still dress him in it. haha

We are just loving where Brax is at and we are pushing him as far as he will go. He still just communicates through grunts and wheezing but he will let you know what he wants. Has 9 teeth! He finally reached 15 pounds and we are just thrilled! It took us four months for crying out loud. haha Still getting constant ear infections but despite that is still happy and is starting to move toward sound. He loves to come up to Marc or my feet when he wants up. He knows our voices and LOVES to play with his toys. Every therapist we go to or doctor just absolutely loves him and are so astonished at what he is accomplishing. He has a long way to go still but WOW is he surprising us everyday! Our goal is 18 months for him to walk...stay tuned it might be earlier! :)
