Sep 12, 2012 - We had four fun-filled days with Brandon last week. He enjoyed visiting animals at Hidden Villa but did not dare to touch any live animals. The big fake horse was preferable over real chickens. He also enjoyed eating berries right off the vine. Museum is now an easy word for him and gets him excited. He went to the Palo Alto Junior Museum/Zoo twice, first with Sue and then on Saturday with all four grandparents. He even had a great time running around the Stanford Cantor Museum.

What a fun age! Full of energy, inquisitive, and learning at an astonishing pace. He is remarkably articulate for a 18 month-old. He must have a vocabulary of about 100 words and is even putting pairs of words together. He repeats words taught to him like a parrot and would surprise us later using the same words in the right context.
