Can't Get Enough..: 15 Months

Brady's 15 month checkup was this morning. The big guy is 33 ½ inches tall and 21 lbs 10 oz. The great news is, Dr. Haney is very pleased and no longer concerned about his weight. Whew! He's still long and lean, but looking chunky (for Brady). The REALLY great news is, Dr. Haney got Brady to WALK! :) 5 steps from her to me and completely by himself. Brady is much more aware of the fact that “we are at the doctor's office” and “they normally stick me”, so he got super sensitive once we were in the room. He wanted Mr. Bear, his thumb, me, and no one else touching him. He cried when the nurse and Dr. Haney checked him out, so when she took him he was upset and wanted me back bad enough to walk to me :) She said he's perfect and will walk once he has the confidence. She said his need to hold on is a 'security thing'. Makes sense.. stuffed animal obsessed, thumb sucker and all :)

I was nervous that once I got him home he'd be all comfortable again and only want to crawl, but I've already gotten him to do it twice by myself. I'm excited for Eric to get home so we can try some more and hopefully get a video. Brady's expression is the best. Half shock, half pride. And I'm busy screaming and clapping. I'm sure it's quite a sight!

We just got back from our family vacation in Florida. It was a WONDERFUL week. Eric needed the time off of work and away from the stress. He couldn't remember the last time he had a vacation. Literally! Brady did so well even though we were completely off schedule and out of our element. He was very go with the flow. It was a LOT of work, but worth it to see his cute little tush on the beach and splashing in the pool. He even called my Dad “Pawpaw” a few times. Eric got to deep sea fish and ride a wave runner. I got plenty of time laying out and a tattoo! We are already planning our next trip back :)
