At 23.5 lbs Brandon sure feels heavy when I pick him up now. He was sick one night last week. We're not sure if it was due to teething or something else but Jamie and I took turns rocking and walking Brandon back to sleep. Both of us commented on how big he is now and how much harder it is to walk him around - at least compared to when we used to do it 12 months ago.
Brandon continues to make us smile every day. He's such a happy boy. He's always laughing or screaming his excitement over something. He loves playing with mega blocks, running around with his walker (though he's an excellent walker on his own), reading his books and watching "Bob the Builder".
Our weather is finally getting nice enough that we can start putting him outside. I think he's going to love it. A whole new world for him to explore! I can't wait to go for evening walks and take him to the park.
We still get to catch up with our play group from time-to-time. Last weekend we enjoyed brunch with our friends. Brandon is fairly social and he seemed to have fun, hanging out with his little friends. I thought it was interesting to see he's a bit smaller than his friends. He seems to be just as advanced as they are though - trying to talk and running around exploring everything new. Get-togethers with all those toddlers is really chaotic but still lots of fun.
Brandon had a mysterious rash for about the past 3 weeks. It was diagnosed as a "chemical dermatitis". It never seemed to bother him but he was covered in it. Much to my relief, it finally cleared up a few days ago. Brandon is now back to his beautiful self :)
