Happy 1/2 Birthday, Brendan!

Tomorrow Brendan turns 1 1/2! We had his 18 month check-up today, and he's a very healthy and happy little boy! He weighs 22 lbs 12 oz and is 31.5" tall. (That's 20th% and 25th% for his age) Although he has gained weight since 12 months, the doctor would like to see him gain a little more. After seeing how active he is she wasn't surprised at all that he's burning so many calories. Here are a few fun pictures from the doctor's office - Brendan was practicing making faces while Mommy said "smile". We've also posted a few more from the last two weeks below. Enjoy, and have a great weekend! We're headed to Wabash to visit Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Dawson.

This picture was taken last Friday night, May 30. We were under a tornado warning and had 2 touch down within about 10 miles two directions from our house, and our power was out for 16 hours. We made a nest for Brendan in the downstairs bathroom, and he didn't have a clue that it was storming. It was a little scary at times, but Brendan slept right through it!

Brendan enjoys playing with Daddy's shoes...

Last week Brendan and Katie spent the afternoon playing together. These two have a lot of fun! Check out Brendan wearing Katie's sunglasses...his new word for the day was "cool".
