Incase you were wondering what Brayden's been up to

I have been absolutely awful at putting pictures from the camera onto the computer. Thus, there's been a lack of Brayden photos on the blog. Which is the best part, right? So, here's the Brayden update along with a few photos I do have on here. There will be more coming.

Brayden loves movies and insists on standing right in front of the TV. He especially loves his Baby Einstein movies and Disney Cars. He doesn't watch all of Cars though. . . just when the cars are making their loud engine sounds and racing and stuff. What a boy. 

He has figured out how to open the DVD player and take a movie out, but he's still working on getting it in the right way. He can also push play.

He is walking constantly now. He's a total walker! And actually has really good balance. He can get going pretty fast without falling. Of course he still holds his fists in the air as he goes. So adorable :)

Brayden enjoys his tubby time again! Hallelujah! Don't know what happened, but he screamed about baths after Christmas break for a few weeks. But then we discovered the magic of bubble baths.

We put Brayden in some real shoes (with solid soles) and he thought they were very strange, but once he started walking, he just went in circles around the house looking very proud. Thanks Pam for the hand-me-downs!

Brayden LOVES watching Daddy clog and mimics him by stomping all over. It is probably the cutest thing ever. I have a video I need to put up!

Still not a lot of coherent words from this boy, but he jabbers all day long with TONS of different sounds like he's really saying something. Well, I'm sure he is really saying something, but I mean that it almost sounds like words, just not real ones yet. My favorite is when he's talking away and then laughs at what he says. It happens quite often. Sometimes he'll laugh at what I say back to him like "that doesn't have anything to do with what I'm talking about Mom." 

He gets great facial expressions that almost always tell you what he's thinking.

He's entered the terrible two tantrums early I think. This kid knows how to throw a fit! We've done a couple "time out" sort of things for him and he's come out from his room so happy for the next couple hours! I was very impressed.

He stopped saying Amen after prayers and doesn't always do his prayer hands for us anymore. I guess it was one of those passing tricks that he feels like he mastered and doesn't need to practice.

Anyway, enough of my silly comments, see for yourself!

Watching Baby Einstein - World Animals

Waking up from naptime


Fun bubble bath. And yes, his lips are blue, but not because he's cold. He just ate lots of blueberries :)

Fun!!!!! I love seeing Brayden walk! ya know, Brin's kind of thrown a few fits too, but its because she is tired or sick of the baby being around. But that isn't a bad idea having some quiet time in their room. This week, Brin wanted a morning nap, but for her afternoon nap, she talked to herself and played around for over an hour. Not sure how that nap schedule got started!!!

I don't have the baby on Monday, so lets play!

What a cutie-pie! And congratulations on the new soon-to-be addition to your family. I can't wait to hear if it's a boy or a girl. :)

It is so fun hearing about Brayden and reading your thoughts on things. I love the pictures. I just had to laugh at the one where he is in the tub with blue lips. That is hilarious! Thanks for sharing and making it easy to see what everyone is up to, especially Brayden. He grows and changes so fast!

Awesome pictures and commentary! It is fun to stay in touch with his growth and development even if I can't observe it directly myself. It sure makes me want to be there though!
