Brahm {18 months}

Brahm celebrated 18 months in May!  We didn't make a big deal about it, but did sing "Happy Half-Birthday to You!" at supper that night, and he just stared at us with a very confused look while we did it....I think he may not be a huge fan of that song....judging by the fit that ensued at his one year birthday party...

Anyway, we are celebrating the FUNNY little guy is becoming!  Although he took a while to start talking, he has definitely caught up and doesn't stop talking.  "momma?  Dadda?  Ow-wa-wuh?"  All day long.  People always told us that #2 would be quiet, since Oliver was such a talker, and that didn't happen.  Surely, #3 will be quiet? we wondered.  Nope.  But it's good.  Loud, but good.  

At 18 months, Brahm loves...

*Balls.
*Going on walks.
*Looking at, and chasing, birds.  
*Doggies.


*Milk and juice.  
*Oliver.
*Bathtime, "wa-wa" outside, and running through the sprinkler ANY chance he can get.

Brahm doesn't so much like me singing.  ("NO NO NO!" he yells)
Brahm doesn't love Lily mothering him.  
Brahm doesn't like going inside....

Speaking of me singing.....Brahm sings Justin Bieber.  "Bebe OH!  Bebe OH!!!"  And he sings "Bob the Builder", and "My God is so BIG!"  (Well, just the "big" part.)  

We say this every time we post about him, but he is just so funny.  SUCH a little character.  And I love seeing the 3 kids interact together.  That has been the best thing about 3--watching Oliver and Lily learn to play with and care for Brahm.  We are SO thankful for him!

                                                    Mowing.  Good form, huh???

Brahm has a CRAZY interest in tools.  Here he is helping Daddy build a platform for our pool...

He and Lily spend LOTS of their time chasing each other around the kitchen table...
