Almost a year old already

WOW I cant believe its been sooooooo long since I have been on here. Brayden will be 11 months old next Friday. I cant believe that my little baby will be 1 year old soon. Where does the time go?!?!?! We are planning a big elmo party for him. I cant wait to see how he does at his party. Christmas was so fun but now hes so much bigger I bet it will be so much fun. He has 8 teeth now and hes also getting his 1 year molars. He can almost walk. He will walk (run) all day if hes holding on to something but he will only take like 4 or 5 steps without holding on to something. He knows who his momma and his dada are. Soon as he sees his daddy in the morning he goes dada and takes off to go see him. Then is hes tired, sick, or hurt he yells for his momma. He says momma, dada, nana, papa, ahhhh baby, ot oh, baba (bottle), and wow. Hes getting to be such a big boy. I cant believe my baby is walking and talking. Hes supposed to still be a baby. I think at his last appointment he was almost 28lbs and he was 32inches tall.  We've had alot going on the last month or so and its been crazy. As you know my dad has been really sick. We took Brayden down to visit him and the following week at 4 in the morning I got a call that he had passed away. Jan 30th. It has been rough since then. I didnt take Brayden to the funeral because hes still so little and my dad lived 2 hours away. So I didnt think having him there all day would be a good idea....and with the condition I was in it probably would have been worse. My step mom is sooo worried that we arent going to talk to her anymore so I've been trying my hardest to keep in touch with her a few times a week and we are planning on making a few trips up to see her. Plus shes coming to Brayden birthday party. Shes not doing to good and their 3rd wedding anniversary would be valentines day. I feel horrible for her Im sure that day is going to be awful for her.  I've been having these horrible headaches and pains in my chest for the last couple of months. It all started with a horrible migraine and I had a headache for probably a month after that and then they slowed down to like 1 every 2 days. Now I still get them a few times a week. The chest pain has pretty much stopped. The doctor thinks its all the stress I've been under lately.  Well thats a bunch of random things but atleast I found time to update. LoL. I miss you guys. Lots of love. Monica
