Brandon Happenings

The last couple of days I've been staying home with Brandon while Zenna went to Provo for a massage therapy workshop. I took work off and was the caretaker until tonight. It's fun spending the days with Brandon and this way I don't miss out on what he does during the day. Just yesterday I was doing laundry, and he climbed up on the washer and wanted to help put the clothes in. That's how he is with any chore that mom and dad is doing. He wants to help in whatever way he can. If I'm cleaning windows, he wants to clean windows. If I'm sweeping the floor, he gets out his small broom and sweeps. Here's a video of him cleaning the toilet:

Brandon is at the point where he's starting to form words and phrases. It was just last week I decided to write down his vocabulary so we know when he says certain words. The count right now is about 55 words, although I'm sure I've missed some that Zenna also hears from him. The longest phrase I've heard so far is "One more bite".
A couple weekends ago Zenna's brother & family came down and we drove to Salt Lake for Disney on Ice. Brandon loved it, and afterward we went ot Liberty Park. Here are some pictures from the day:
Since then, we've gone to the junk yard or Smith & Edwards for a variety of reasons, and Brandon loves these places. He was crawling in & out of cars and finding good junk at Smith & Edwards. He was having just as much fun as his daddy.

Brandon turned 22 months just a few days ago, it's hard to believe he's almost 2 years old! Zenna and I have some ideas on what we'll do, since it'll be here sooner than later.
