18 Months

Our sweet little guy is 18 months old today. I am not sure where the last year and a half went, but I know it has been great! Brantley has turned into quite the busy body. This kid never stops. He barely stops long enough to eat, and that is saying something for Brantley! He still loves his food and would eat all day if we let him. He is a social kid and loves to be around other kids. He learns new words each days, he probably has close to 30 words in his vocabulary. Brantley loves anything that has to do with lights and buckles. To say he is obsessed with those two things is an understatement. Most of his days are filled with playing with and pointing out lights and buckles. Brantley loves to be outside, especially if he is in a swing. The best part about the swing is he can't go anywhere! Its wonderful! We can't imagine our lives without Brantley and are so grateful he is in our family.

Brantley loves his cookies!

Sporting his sun glasses.

Swimming with the cousins! Brantley wasn't too sure about the water at first, but once he got comfortable with it he had a blast!

On Thursday we will be moving out of our townhouse. We are sad to be leaving our first home, but we are so excited for a next adventure. I start working in Morgan on August 13th and Jared starts school on August 26th. So here is to the next chapter in our lives and we hope that it is a great one!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great Memorial Day weekend. We were able to spend the weekend with most of our family. It is always great to get together. My family got together on Saturday for family pictures. The last time we had a family picture was back in 2007. Since then we have had 2 in-laws and 7 grandchildren join the family. So it was much needed. Brantley was a champ during the pictures. He didn't smile, but he didn't cry so I'm not complaining. After pictures we enjoyed time around the fire and eating s'mores.

I have to say I grew up in a beautiful valley!

Brantley had so much fun with Lilly. We really wished these guys lived closer than Roosevelt!

I couldn't get enough of this little girl and her "stuck" and "cows"

On Sunday we headed up to Tremonton to spend time with the Fulgham side. On Memorial Day it was Logan's birthday. We took balloons to the cemetery to celebrate. It was extremely windy on Monday, and the balloons lasted maybe 2 minutes before they blew away. I'm glad I got a picture of the balloons before they blew away. Happy 21st birthday Logan!

In other news we have some big changes coming to Fulgham family. Back in April Jared was accepted to the UofU for grad school. He will be starting there in August. After we found out he was accepted to the U we have some big decisions to make. I applied for a job down in Morgan to get us closer to Salt Lake. So starting in August I will be the Severe Special Ed teacher at Morgan High School. It will be a major adjustment from teaching preschoolers, but I am excited for the new adventure. The next 2 years will definitely be busy, but they will be worth it in the long run and will be over before we know it. We are getting ready to sell our town home and prepare for our move to Morgan. I am sad to be closing this chapter of our lives, but I am so excited to see what is in store for us with this next chapter.

Brantley keeps learning more and more each day. He is learning new words weekly and surprises us with how much he knows and and understands. Can't believe he will be 16 months old this week!

1 YEAR!

Mr. Brantley at 1 year:

Weight: 23 lbs 5 oz -59th percentile

Height 29.5 inches- 41 percentile

He is walking, doesn't have the greatest balance but he is getting there.
He will clap his hands together to say more, I want, give me, please (pretty much if he sees food he will clap his hands to get some)
Loves to play with his legos
Eats almost everything you put in front of him...except his birthday cake.....
Shake is head "no, no, no"
Will wiggle his tongue in and out
Loves bath time
Will stop and and listen any time he hears music
Loves to climb the stairs
Has been to almost every Aggie home football and basketball game.
He likes to play with is xylophone he got for his birthday
Will lift his arms up to say "all done" or "so big"
Lean in for a kiss when you ask "can I give you a kiss?"

Brantley sure keeps us on our toes. He is starting to understand more and more each day and hopefully soon he will be able to communicate more of his wants to us. He is so much fun and has such a cute little personality. He is definitely a people person and loves to be out it about. We sure do love this little guy and look forward to the adventures we will have this coming year!
