In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

Bransen 1st Year Stats

At Bransen's 1 year well check appointment he was 30 1/4 in which is the 70th percentile for height and 20.12 lbs which was the 25th percentile for weight . Since he has been on the move he has slimmed down . Here are many of the things he is currently doing:

  • copying behavior - screaming when Brayden yells, barking like M'aggie, shaking his head no, dancing

  • clapping and waving,

  • fake laughing

  • head bobbing when crawling with something in his mouth

  • walking more than he is crawling, picks up toys from the floor while standing and keeps on walking, can drink from his cup while he walks

  • throwing balls

  • car riding, rides backwards at times, makes car noises while riding on cars and playing with cars

  • climbs on everything he can find to climb on - chairs, riding cars to get on the couch, the fireplace, the small table, stairs (can make it to the top - scary!)

  • talking lots of baby talk but have heard him say dada, mmm, momma, nana (banana) and bubba

  • sleeping now from 7:30 pm - 6:30 or 7 am- Praise the Lord he finally sleeps! , naps morning and afternoon hour and half

  • loves playing with brother and wrestling

  • loves it outdoors

  • throws fits when has to come inside or sees food he wants

  • not eating quite as well, has become more picky about certain foods

  • Busy, busy exploring the world around him. He is on the go non stop and enjoys getting to walk now. Such a fun age of learning and growing. He changes each and every day and we are trying to cherish each thing new he does along the way. Even dumping M'aggie's water bowl and trying her food twice a day.
Jumped into the bath tub before I could get his clothes off then he wondered why his clothes felt so funny on him.

Climbing into and onto EVERYTHING! Such a climber, even more so than Brayden ever was at this age. He keeps me on my toes at all times.

Grocery shopping with his grocery cart brother picked out for him for his birthday


Rocking in his new Birthday rocker before he stood up


Climbing on and in everything


Fake laughing while opening his birthday present from Grandpa and Grandma
