So Brayden has been extremely vocal lately... letting out screams even when he is happy, constant hums, and jibber gabber! it is so cute, and ear piercing!! This is a funny video of him on Jordan's lap last night!

Brayden lately...

Brayden has been reaching fun and exciting milestones lately! He willl roll over on to his tummy, and back. Getting back is a little more of a challenge, but eventually will make it. He also cut his first tooth! It wasn't horrible, but he definately was a little more cranky, and lost some sleep. Hopefully the pain is gone.. probably just beginning for me if he bites!! Ouch!
He loves Mickey Mouse! It is soo cute to watch his face light up when it comes on in the morning! Which makes me even more excited that we will be going to Disneyland in February with my family!! I can't wait!! Even though he won't remember anything, to watch him get so excited now.. it will be even better in February!
Brayden is almost 6 months now! Time is flying by! We have a Dr.'s appt just after the first of the year and I will now his weight and length for sure.. but I would say he is probably around 17-18lbs, and about 28in. Growing boy with a good appetite! I hope he stays this good of an eater! = )
Jordan is working harder than ever! I am so thankful to have him!! Unfortunately he has been battling a cough for more than a month now! They say it is Restricted Airway Disease..which is like Asthma.. but his medicine hasn't been a help at all... so I think something else might be going on.. Hopefully he gets better soon.. but with our 17 degree weather, the cold air makes it worse!
And me... I am doing good.. wishing I got more sleep! = ) Brayden definately keeps me busy!! He is going through the stage where he doesn't let me leave a room without getting upset.. makes getting things done a bit harder.. but I love him so much, he can follow me anywhere!! (well...of course I take him) lol
These are just some pictures from this past month...

Thanksgiving

So it has been a while since I posted... Things have been sorta crazy busy lately. We'll go back to Thanksgiving to start! = ) Thanksgiving was good! We spent it here with Jordan's family. Had tons of food! Brayden enjoyed his baby sweet potatoes! = )We were able to catch a decent family photo! Jordans head got cut off... but Brayden was smiling!

More Milestones...

Brayden is now eating carrots and green beans! He loves them! Im telling you this kid might eat anything we try to feed him! No complaints here!! He's a growing boy.. starting to get chunky.. but its cute! We've also moved into the high chair! He knows now when he goes in it, food is coming!! = )
He is almost rolling over on his own! He tries, and gets sad when he can't do it on his own. He has been sitting up for a while, with things propped up in front of him, or behind...He weighs 16lbs, and is 27inches long, and just over 4 1/2 months!

Halloween

I was so happy we were able to go down to CA for halloween! It was so nice to be able to see my family again! We went miniature golfing, hung out, and for halloween we went to my sister's church for the carnival! It was so fun being able to watch Elijah and Tyler have such a good time! They are so sweet, and smart! The games that they have the kids play, man they know exactly what to do!! Brayden had fun watching, maybe if we are able to, we can go back next year, and then he will be able to enjoy it a bit more! He liked being in his costume, he was soo cute! My little blue monster! It was sad to go, but we will be back soon!

Carving our pumpkin

We finally carved our pumpkin a couple of nights ago. Brayden watched, but obviously doesnt understand what's going on... but he seemed to have a good time! These are just a couple of pictures from that night.

Our trip to the Pumpkin Patch

We have been wanting to go to the pumkin patch for a few weeks now. Jordan and I went two years ago, and it was so much fun. It's a huge piece of land with pumpkins everywhere! Some are even still attached to the vine, but you get to walk through the field and pick whichever one you want! Its alot of fun! They have a small corn maze, and hay rides. Brayden will enjoy those next year! We finally found the perfect pumpkin... and Brayden had a blast. It doesn't exatly show in the pictures, but he did! By the end of the trip, he was pooped! It was so precious! We are going to carve it this week, and I will post more pictures!










These pictures are from two years ago...

Brayden's First Food!

Yesterday Jordan and I gave Brayden his first bowl of rice cereal!! It was so exciting! I will admit, I did get a little emotional! He did a great job, and LOVED it! He didn't even spit out the first bite! I was shocked! He already had a pretty good idea has to how to swish it around in his mouth. I am glad I waited... he was definately ready! Now hopefully once he gets going, he will sleep better at night! And lets just hope that he continues to like it! lol The first picture is a before.. he was excited, like he knew what was coming! Then, his first bite.. it doesn't look like it, but he was smiling!

Last Mariners game of the season...

This past Saturday, Jerod, Jen, Drew, Jordan, Brayden and myself went to the Mariners game. This was the last weekend of the season. I am sad baseball is over, but, I am excited watching football. Its crazy to think by the time next season starts, and we are going to games, Brayden could be walking!! Wow! Brayden did extremely well. He sat on our laps for the first hour, but then we moved inside, I felt it was too cold for him outside. Then, when in the warm indoors, he fell asleep in my arms! Jordan wanted to take the video camera to see if he could catch video of Ken Griffey Jr. possibly hitting a homerun. For all who don't know, He is his all time favorite player! There is no word if he will be returning next year, or if he will be retiring. Well, his idea for the camera was good, cause he did hit a homerun! We couldn't believe it! The video was too long to post, but Jordan, and Brayden were very excited! We all were! These are just a few pictures from the game, and then one from Sunday in his Seahawks outfit!

Oh Tasia

This morning Brayden was overly tired and crying. Well, Tasia (our 3 yr. old puggle)has started doing this when Brayden cries. It when on until Brayden stopped crying! It was pretty funny!

My little man...

So we got the cutest little outfits for Brayden. It was a onsie, beanie, bootie set. The booties of course don't fit, but the onsie and beanie do. Jordan was excited that it was Nike, and that one set was Jordan. (Michael Jordan brand by Nike) He looked so cute in the outfit I couldn't help but take some pictures! He looks kinda like a "G" with the beanie on... our little rapper! Haha.. just kidding!

Beautiful sounds

Brayden is 3 Months old!

Brayden is now 3 months old! I can't believe it! He is cooing up a storm! He is now making alot of noises together! This video explains it! It is so much fun getting to watch him grow. He is changing all the time! He still is eating about every 2-3 hours, and isn't sleeping through the night.. unfortuantely!! But, I know it will be here eventually.

A few smiles...

I was able to catch on video this morning a few smiles from Brayden! He has been getting a little camera shy. Usually he smiles all the time, and a lot bigger than this.. but these are just as cute!

Bath time fun!!

Brayden loves bathtime! He is starting to splash a bit, but mostly likes to relax in the warm water. He is spoiled, I will put his towell in the dryer and warm it up for him so when he is done he can be nice and toasty!
