It's August!!!

I know, I know... it's been a month since I blogged. To be honest, I have been such a slacker at taking pictures lately which is usually the only thing I post. So, here's a little update on what's been going on in the Langham household.

Braylin is growing like a weed! At her 18 month appointment a few weeks back, she weighed in at 28lbs (90th percentile) and 33inches (again, 90th percentile). She was SO good at the doctor's office -- it was a little scary how well it went. Dr Haynes walked in to an immediate "Hi Docker Haynes", then watched as Braylin showed Dr. Haynes how to listen to her tummy and find "two piiiiiink budderfies" in her ears. She was a trooper getting her vaccination and then talked all the way out of the office. I couldn't believe how well it went, and I am surely not expecting that again (but hoping!).

The child apparently picks up on every word heard throughout the day. Dr Haynes says she is talking like a 2 year old and couldn't get over her words and phrases. We find it quite hysterical because she surprises us every day with something new. Here's a few of what she's been doing.

1) pull up at our house: "No mama, no home. Go see cows." So, Jay drives her down the road to see the cows.
2) Poppi was putting her in her car seat today in the rain so I offered to come around and do it for her: "No mama, stay dare. Poppi's got it"
3) everything is "I get it, I get it" -- She's wanting to do everything on her own.
4) picky eater sometimes: "No mo mators mommy. Hod dog, berries, peeease, aiin (and) mo miiiiilk"
5) after MDO: "I paid (played with) Miss Connie"
6) sings the alphabet, counts to 10, loves to sing Jesus Loves Me
7) loves to color and draw circles
8) could play outside ALL day, even in the 100 degree heat
9) never seen batteries in her life but proceeded to turn the baby monitor over and say "No badderies"
10) loves books...can't seem to get enough of them

Ok, I could go on and on, but there's only so much you want to hear about someone else's kid. So I'm stopping there. :)

The house remodeling is coming along... I'll put pics on here once we have it finished. We are so excited! The master bathroom & bedroom are almost finished...hoping to move our stuff out of the extra bedroom into the master room in the next week or so. Can hardly wait!! Then on to the kids bathroom and and hardwood floors. Oh what a project this has been. But a fun experience (ok, maybe a little more stressful than fun but I know it'll be worth it in the end). :)

We recently decided to speed up the remodeling process since we are going to have a new addition to the family in March!!! Since word is getting out pretty fast, I thought I'd better post it on the blog. I work on the labor unit and there is no hiding pregnancy among labor unit girls when they all know you're wanting another baby soon. So my family knew super early and we are now slowly spreading the word to friends. We are so excited!!! And Braylin loves wearing her new tshirt (horrible phone pic but the only one we happened to get the day we told our family). It's so hard getting pics of Braylin now because she is CONSTANTLY moving!!!

More updates soon
