My little Brighton is 3! I cannot believe it. He still gets cuter and cuter everyday. He has the funniest personality. He loves to say silly things and make people laugh. He eats all day long, but never enough to be full. He loves hot dogs, tct, bananas, juice, milk, popcorn, and candy. Brighton could stay outside all day long. He loves to watch Netflix! He can be the happiest boy; all the sudden a switch will flip and he can throw the biggest and loudest tantrum, and will not give up! He loves his mommy and daddy so much that he cannot stand to be without us. He won't stay in nursery or play at friends' houses unless we are there. Every night he tells us that he doesn't want to sleep alone. It is hard to leave him in there but we know it is best for him. He sleeps about 9 1/2 hours at night, around 10-7:30, and still takes about a 3 hour nap. He is potty trained during the day but still uses diapers at night. Brighton can count to 11 and sing his ABC's. He makes up words many times a day. Most of the time he is so sweet to Troy, plays well with him, shares with him, and gives him tons of hugs. Sometimes he has a hard time sharing the attention, will hug a little too hard, and take all his toys away. He loves to talk about how big he is getting and how he will be just as big as his daddy. Brighton still loves to put on his Spiderman mask and shoot webs at everyone. We play games, play dough, and blocks a lot. He loves to help cook. Brighton has a wonderful memory. He loves to talk about things that happened weeks and even months ago and can remember specific things about the events. His best friends are his cousins. We are so lucky to live close to family. He is very strong willed and knows how to get his way. He is the cutest toddler I have ever seen. I love playing with him and listening to all the things he is excited to say.
Our little Troy Boy is already 1! He has learned and grown so much this year. He is doing awesome at walking and getting the hang of it in shoes. He likes to run away from me when I chase him. He likes to go up and down the stairs. To come down he faces forward and scoots his little bum on to the next step down. Then stands up and does it again. It makes me a little nervous but he just will not turn around. He continues to be a mammas boy but absolutely loves his daddy now as well. He will call Dada around the house looking for him, giggles when he hears his voice on the phone, and gets SO excited when he comes home at night. Troy also loves his big brother. He wants to do everything that Brighton does and follows him every where he goes. Troy gets so excited when he hears his voice will quickly crawl or walk to him and give him a big hug and lots of kisses. He takes two 1 hour and 45 minute naps a day, and sleeps from 9-7 at night. He is a HUGE thumb sucker and is uninterested with anything else. He is great at drinking his bottles and learning to eat better. He likes bananas, baby fruit, pears, tcts, and chicken nuggets. Troy can say mama, dada, woof woof, uh oh, yeah, and no-taught to him by Brighton. He loves to come at you with his fingers moving saying, "tickle tickle tickle". He has started climbing on things and loves to be standing up tall on top of things. Troy likes to knock on doors, look out the window, and play on his swing set. He blows on his food to make sure that its not hot. He is great and making a stand against Brighton. He won't easily give up his toys and will fight back. He screams to get attention from others. Troy makes little come here signals and lifts his arms up when he wants me to pick him up. All Troy wants to do all day is play with his toys. He loves to drive cars around the floor, stack blocks or cups, and play with all his ball bouncers. He is always smiling and laughing and is such a happy boy. He only gets sad when I walk out of the room. He will play and interact with others as long as they don't try to pick him up. I'm so proud of everything he has learned this year. His personality is so cute and he is such a sweet heart!
