He's starting to put phrases together, and it's cute to hear him say them. For example, if I make him crack up with some weird facial expressions, he blurts out "funny guy!".
Just a couple weeks ago we came back from our trip to Europe, where we spent two weeks - Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Italy, and a drive through Austria were all included. Brandon did really well on all the travel, even sitting in his airline seat for 9 hours on the way home. We all slept really good the day after we got back. Since there's so many places we saw and went to, I'll just post pictures below with descriptions.
Our first stop was Heidelberg, Germany and Brandon loved the place. We couldn't put him down much because he'd want to go into every store we'd let him and play with all the cute things.
He found a dog to play with in Schweitzengen, another little german town, and this was when Zenna reminded me that he needs a dog...
We spent a few days in Switzerland, and it's a pretty amazing place. There are villages built on the sides of mountains, one of which we visited here - The views are breathtaking.
We took a little stop on our way to Garmisch, where this valley vista opened up for us. Switzerland is a beautiful place. Brandon behaved so well on this drive.
When we arrived in Hungary, Brandon was eager to get out and play... this tub allowed that nicely. Those floor tiles in the bathroom were quite slippery, Brandon fell once.
Once we got to my grandparents, he found more toys to play with...
We also saw my dad, and on the couch are four generations of Krauss.
We didn't ride the trains as much as we hoped, but when we did, Brandon always got excited.
Our last stop was Venice, and Brandon did really good for most of the walking. And having an ice cream cone to start out the trip didn't hurt either.
After 2 weeks, we all felt like this. The plane on the way home didn't have video screens in the seats, so Brandon couldn't watch movies like on the way to Europe. Either way, he had enough stimulation for a while.
