Toddler chronicles March 2014: 18 months old

Wow!! Braxton is busy, busy, busy! He keeps us on our toes, always moving, always exploring. I love watching his mind work and problem solve. His typical everyday behaviors can entertain Luke and I for hours or he can dissolve our patience in a matter of minutes. My mom says "he's testing you, pressing the limits." I say he is being B-A-D. Ha. Either way, I wouldn't trade a single day with Braxton Cole for anything in the world!!
