Branson 11 (and 10) months


He took his first steps at about 10 months, and now he's walking more often than not! Crazy!

Has at least 7 teeth, 4 on the top, 3 on the bottom (but we can't pin him down long enough to see if he has any of his back teeth).

We got him his first pair of shoes, a pair of blue Nikes, size 5.

He wears several shirts and pants that I swear Nolan just grew out of. It's really strange to see. Like, how is that possible?!

We've finally gotten the boys on the same bedtime schedule, although we still have Branson sleeping in the living room haha. We initially started putting him out there so that if he cried in the middle of the night he wouldn't wake Nolan up. We're still a little bit worried about that, but he's really a good sleeper and if he wakes up he only cries for a few seconds until he finds a binky and then he's back to sleep. I think we'll get them back in the same room soon.

He is into EVERYTHING. If someone leaves the bathroom door open he will notice and immediately make a dash for the open door. Same thing with the fridge. Open it and he will drop what he's doing and come over. His favorite activities are dumping out the bins of kid plates/bowls/cutlery, pulling books out from the bookshelf, looking at himself in the mirror, and grabbing toys that big brother doesn't think he should have (which is practically all of them).

Bath time is super stressful because he is constantly trying to stand up and I'm constantly pulling him down. He thinks it's a hilarious game though.

He loves to be chased and has the best toothy grin and laugh.

He has definitely started throwing tantrums when you take something away from him. He gets especially mad about keys being taken away.

He loves binkies and can often be found with one in his mouth and one in each hand.

For about a month there he was discovering his voice and yowza, did he discover it. I think he just wanted to test how loud he could be. It was a risk taking him anywhere it was supposed to be quiet because you never knew when he'd decide to practice for the opera. It's especially great when he does it in church :\

Speaking of church, I can't remember what we do in sacrament meeting since it's been so long since I've sat in the chapel for the whole thing. Especially now that B wants to walk and scream.

More often than not he refuses to sit still for diaper or clothing changes and it is absolutely maddening. Good thing he's cute!!




Look at this kid! Oey, we're in trouble!



We had to take B to the doctor because he had a nasty cough that just wasn't going away. Luckily it didn't seem to bother him too much though. And he was so good at the doctor!

Trying to walk!

He always wants to be doing anything brother is doing.
