1 1/2 years ago

Braven 6/12/09
Braven 6/08





Time goes by so fast! I can't believe Braven is 1 1/2 years old today. Yesterday he had his 18 month check up. He weighs 28.5 lbs and is 33 inches long. Everything check out perfect. And he got his last round of shots until he enters kindergarden. I remember when we found out that we were expecting this little miracle. Ryan and I really weren't ready to be parents, but now wouldn't change it for ANYTHING. While i was pregnant with Braven, Ryan and I were working all the time, and opposite shifts, never seeing eachother, even though we were newlyweds, that was ok with us, because we were so into making money. I was so into being a nurse. Thats all i wanted to be was a nurse, not a MOMMY! When Braven was born, it was decided that i would stay at home with him. Wasn't too sure how i felt about that, but 1 1/2 years later i'm still doing it, and hope i can continue to do it until our boys reach school age. It is the best job in the world. I can't imagine anything else. And now Ryan and I get to see each other more. We shortly realized that working and making lots of money really is nothing compared to having a child. I know Braven changed my life for the better. Braven has learned so much in his short 1 1/2 years of life. He has learned to roll over, eat real foods, crawl, walk, stomp his feet, climb stairs or chairs, give kisses and hugs, and blow kisses. He has also learned certain animals and their sounds, he has learned certain foods, and of course how to say, "Ma-Ma, Da-Da, and Dakota". He has learned some shapes and so much more. I could go on forever. And for the most part, Ryan and I have taught him all that. I am so excited for the years to go on, and to see what he becomes later in life. I know he will make us proud.
