Matching and looking cute for church.

We've had a bit of a static electricity problem this winter.

Just some pictures of Brayden looking adorable.

 

Best play buddies.

Brayden 6 months

Now that Brayden is almost 7 months, I figured I should post his 6 month pictures. We love this little cutie. 

Here's what this little guy has been up to lately:

-Still smiles all the time.  Everyone comments on how happy he is.
-Getting a little wary of strangers.
-Last month he got pink eye in both eyes, then a couple weeks later he got a stomach bug and threw up for 36 hours.  
-Loves to roll around on the floor.  He can get to most objects he wants by rolling. 
-Can sit with help.
-He's not too interested in solids yet.  He's tried rice and oatmeal cereal, bananas, sweet potatoes, green beans, and applesauce.  When you put food in his mouth, he'll just hang his mouth open and not swallow it.  He also refuses to take a bottle of any form.
-At his check-up he was 15 pounds 11 oz, which is about the 12%.  He's still going down the charts, so they want to see him again at 7 months to do an extra weight check. 
-He's been doing well sleeping in his crib at night.  Goes down to bed around 8pm, then gets up twice on average to eat, usually around 1am and 4am, then is up around 7 or 8am.

Brayden is 5 months!!

My little Brayden is 5 months old today.  Is it possible I can love this kid a little more every day?  He is such a happy little boy, and just melts my heart. He is completely adored by everyone in this family.

Having a conversation with Molly and loving it.

Toes. Best chew toy ever.

A little about Brayden these days.

-Loves to be sung to.  He will completely crack up.
-Easy to get to smile or laugh.
-Extremely ticklish, pretty much everywhere.
-Loves his toes.
-Recently started reaching and grasping objects.
-Loves his big sister Molly and "talking" with her.  A little nervous about Emma.
-Learning to sleep in his crib for naps, but still sleeps in our room at bedtime in the pack and play.
-Exclusively breastfed, something I feel really good about.  I only made it 4 months with both girls, and still had to supplement the entire 4 months with formula.  Brayden is a champion eater.
-He's a pretty chill kid.  He enjoys his jumper seat and just relaxing on the floor, especially when the girls are around and he can watch them.

Milestone Pics

I'm a little behind posting Molly's 1st grade picture, Emma's 3 year pictures, and Brayden's 3 month pictures.  So, here they are.  Don't blame me if I have the most adorable kids ever.

My Kiddos

I love my kids!  I'm so proud of them, and really try and enjoy each and every moment with them.  I feel incredibly blessed that the Lord has seen fit to send me these amazing little people.  Of course there are frustrating moments, and times I feel completely lost on what to do, but every kiss, hug, smile, and "I love you" makes all of it completely worth it.
