Weirichs in Wyoming: Breydon

Making Rocks and Having a Party.

1:49 PM

24 lbs and 33.5 inches tall. So in the past year he has grown 6.5 inches and gained 3.5 lbs. Still a tiny little dude but slowly getting not as small, he is 17th percentile for weight and 19th percentile for height.

Still tiny and mostly wearing 18 month pants and short but can fit into some 2T stuff but the pants have to be rolled. Size 3 diapers.

Still doesn't have all his teeth. Missing 3 of his I teeth. Also hates having us help brush his teeth. He wants to do it buy himself.

Loves to eat candy (especially suckers and sugar highs) cheese, grapes, strawberries and raspberries. Oh and peanut butter on a spoon. Always asks for juice but rarely gets it. He has such a sugar tooth!

Obsessed with popsicles aka "oppicles". He asks for them all the time. Specifically the baby oppicles which are the ones on a stick not an otter pop.

His favorite books are "Pout Pout Fish" "Love Monster" and "Brown Bear". Also any of the family books I've made he enjoys as well.

Doesn't have anything specific he loves to watch yet, mostly whatever Adleigh is watching. Maybe Thomas the Train now?

Loves to be sung to at night, favorite songs are; "I'm so glad when daddy comes home", "Santa Claus is coming to town", and "Jesus wants me for a Denty (dentist)". Adleigh is scared of the dentist so I would tease her about him being outside, then Breydon started teasing her about it and it lead to him wanting to sing songs about the Denty. Walks around singing/humming songs a lot. His favorite is twinkle twinkle.

Loves his little bike and turtle helmet, will always tell me before he rings the bell on it. Loves to ride the bike down hills and go fast.

Will tell me "bye bye momma" and ride his bike across the road usually trying to find Adleigh.

Follows Adleigh around and often copies what she says or does. He does not like when Adleigh leaves to go play at a friend's. He constantly asks for "sister" when she is gone or tries to go over to where she is.

Loves to play outside and be in the dirt. Sort of scared of bugs. Had a fly land on his arm and he totally freaked out, didn't try to swat it but sat and cried until I got it off. Been working on him lately to like the nice bugs, he will looks at them, pick them up on things and barely tap them with his finger but still won't hold one. Really likes "wormies".

Wakes up in the morning and always asks where Adleigh is, she is usually watching a cartoon, so then he asks "videos"? He finds her and they watch a cartoon together while drinking their milk.

Loves to play with cars the most out of any toy. He is always driving them around everywhere and holding them to take them places with him.

Calls his marbles from Smith and Edwards "snakes" because they had a snake on the package. He was constantly sticking them in his mouth so Great Grandma Danice taught him to put them in his pocket. Now he looks for a pocket whenever he holds one.

Sleeping on a queen sized bed on the floor in his own room. Generally sleeps through the night now but regresses a bit when Brian is gone for work. Sleeps better when he isn't hot, a warm body like his dad, doesn't really need blankets.

Has started trying to count. He knows 1,2,3 really well because he does that right before he jumps off something, usually the countertop into our arms.

Always asking "hold you" to have us hold him or "piggy piggy" to get a piggy back ride. When he wants down he starts counting? Not sure why.

Still not a fan of nursery. Cries whenever we even get near the room, but hasn't been crying as long once I leave him.

No more binkies! Wahoo! If he finds a random one he might suck on it a bit but then loses interest.

Loves to talk about monsters. The way he says monsters is adorable. Close to "bont-sters" is about what is sounds like. Sometimes he will randomly come running in telling me about the scary monsters but then tell me that the monster is nice or silly.

Not potty trained. Scared of the toilet. Finally got him to sit on the baby toilet but he will sit on it and tell me "poop?" And then fart. The other day he would sit, fart, stand up and move the toilet, sit, fart and repeat. It was extremely funny, I think he farted about 10 times in a row.

He is a tease. If he finds something that makes us laugh, he will do it over and over again.

Loves slides, pretty much all he does at the park is slide. He also likes to climb on our lap and use our legs as a slide. Also will no longer swing in the baby swings he has to swing in the big kid swings. So far he holds on really well.

Enjoys throwing all the fake food down the stairs or whatever toy is near the stairs.

Likes to climb up the ladder and across the roosting board to get to the laying boxes in the coop. He gets so nasty but loves to get the eggs. I try to only let him get eggs right before bath time.

Loves pushing his little lawn mower around.

He is getting better at praying. Will repeat a word after you as long as it is one he knows, also will start copying Adleigh when she prays and that drives her crazy.

Won't sit in the booster seat at the table anymore. Made us take it off and move it out of the room. When we put it back on the chair he grabbed it and moved it back out of the room.

Loves to throw Penny's toys but gets mad when she takes it from him or someone else throws it.

Asks to be a burrito (wrapping him up tight in the towel) anytime he gets out of the bath now.
