Brady at 15 Months

At some point in the last few months our baby turned into a full-on, bonified toddler!  These days, among Brady's favorite activities are:

Playing outside.

Hanging with Daddy, by far Brady's favorite pasttime.  Currently Bryan is treated to a tearful farewell every morning when he leaves for work and a thrilled, "DADAAAAAA!" when he returns.

Chatting.  Recently we've experienced a language explosion which has Brady requesting milk ('baba'), water ('wawa'), to be held (a whispered 'up'), to NOT be held (a stern 'dow'), to be reunited with his favorite person ('Dada?  Dada?  Dadaaaaaaa!'), to examine something more closely ('touCH'), to play in the backyard ('out'), demanding that Seven drop a toy ('BOP!  BOP!'), as well as expressing surprise and appreciation ('Wow!').


And, a true sign that Brady is a child of the age of technology, he loves Facetiming with Grandma and Grandpa on Daddy's new iPad.  These daily conversations consist mainly of pointing to and identifying various body parts, reciting his favorite animal noises, waving, and repeatedly kissing the screen.
