19.5 months old

A busy few weeks! We found a house to buy that is very close to our current place. We sign all the paperwork after Thanksgiving and plan to move in after Christmas. There is plenty of room for visitors :)

Bradley continues growing...both in size and vocabulary. He has thinned out quite a bit and is still a hefty 31 lbs so it must be all height now! Every day he is saying new words and phrases and we are super impressed with how much he is learning. For example, he can distinguish 'airplane' from 'helicopter' just by sound (living close to Miramar has some advantages). He's working on his colors now and is finally getting past thinking everything is yellow. And he knows all the Sesame Street characters (especially Elmo).
