Bradan is TWO!

Bradan turned 2 on May 6th (I know...I am a little behind on the blogging).  We had a small little party with some close friends to celebrate.

Here are some fun facts and birthday pictures of our two year old:

1.  His favorite things right now are trucks and tractors.  He has to point out every truck as we are driving down the road. 

2.  He got a John Deere turf tractor for his birthday and refuses to ride it.

3.  Still sucks on his two fingers which we are trying to break him of.  Which only makes him do it more.

4.  Has no interest in potty training.  Not pushing it now but when summer comes...

5.  Loves Elmo or Melmo as he calls him.  We took Shelby and him to a Elmo show at the Tacoma Dome which was a big hit for both of them.

6.  The boy can dance.  Put on music and he swings those hips and arms.

7.  Could spend all day outside if you let him.

8.  Would spend all day riding with Daddy on the lawnmower if you would let him.  He also has a bubble push lawnmower that he pushes behind Daddy mowing with the push mower.

9.  Still takes a  1 1/2 to 2 hour nap.

10.  Is extremely ornery.  I tell him all the time that it is a good thing that he is so darn cute.

11.  Still has a love/hate relationship with his sister.  He calls her "Sissy".

12.  Loves to play outside on the swingset.

13.  Thinks running away from you is a fun game.  He has sat in timeout many of times for that one but he will do it again the minute he has a chance.  Thinking we might have to get a leash.

14.  Doesn't snuggle much anymore so when he does I take full advantage of it.

15.  B is getting a big vocabulary.  Even beginning to put words together in short sentences such as "Sissy's toothbrush" and "Mommy stop".

16.  Knows a little bit of spanish thanks to Ms Laly at school.

17.  Would rather snack all day then sit down and eat a meal.  Loves juice but hates milk.  Favorite foods are frozen yogurt pops, otter pops, cheese, fruit snacks, granola bars and pirate's booty.

18.  He runs every where and is always doing something.  Not much of a tv or movie watching kid yet.

19.  Thinks he needs to wear socks with all shoes.  Trying to break him of that before summer and sandals come.

20. Loves to wrestle, be tickled and play rough.  He is all boy. 

Bradan is adored by his parents, sister, grandparents, aunts, uncles and good friends.  He is going to be a child that tests our patience and discipline but we wouldn't have him any other way.
