Brailyn is 18 months!

Happy half b-day!! Wow, Brailyn, you are getting big so fast. You are learning new words everyday and having so much fun in Florida. We have been going to the beach almost every weekend, and you just LOVE swimming in the ocean. And momma can go in the water too, since it’s warm. Today while we were playing with your blocks you said “sh” for shapes. And you love to stack the blocks and then knock them down, of course. This week we discovered jumping on the bed and doing butt drops. You got some good air, and momma was in tears from laughing so hard!! You are such a helper. When momma does the laundry, you want to help put the clothes in. And you wash the walls with a rag. Such a big girl. We also like to make a mountain with the couch pillows and climb up to the top and slide down. You’ve grown out of your sandals that Grandpa bought in Paris, so we went shopping for new sandals. And looks like we’ll need to go shopping for some warm clothes when we get back to AZ. Next week we are going to Annapolis with Grandma to see Ben in the Naval Academy. Maybe we’ll meet your cousin Maddie, too. Then we fly home to AZ with Grandma and wait for Dadda to drive the truck home. We’re excited to go back home. We have had so much fun in Tampa, but we miss our family and friends. Momma is training for the marathon in Tucson, Dec 2nd, so she goes running a lot. You have some fun with Dadda when momma’s exercising. We love you so much and can’t wait to see what the next few months will bring!!
