N-I-N-E!

My little man turned NINE months old today....here are 9 thoughts about Mr. Braidy!

1. still no crawling...he REALLY wants to but he just doesn't go. He can turn in circles and roll...

2. He can still wear 0-3 month shorts and 3-6 month clothes...but can also wear some 9 month clothes...???

3. He is a huge FLIRT!

4. He loves to eat ANYTHING and EVERYTHING!!!!!

5. He has 3 teeth on the bottom and one on the top...the one on the top is a side tooth...a fang, if you will.

6. He has a new trick where he clicks his tongue and thinks it is the coolest thing EVER.

7. His favorite word and only word is DA-DA (daddy doesn't like this at all! ha!)

8. Bathtime is still his favorite time of the day, only now he likes to splash and get all the water out onto the floor!

9. He is the happiest and sweetest little man in the world. He brings more joy to our lives than we thought possible!

Happy 8 Month Old Birthday!!

My baby turned 8 months old yesterday. We had a mini photo shoot outside because it was beautiful and I need practice! I got a few great shots... although he was way more interested in playing with the dead grass than looking up at the camera! Now I know why photographers have squeaky toys when dealing with kids!

This is just the most fun age. His little personality shines more and more everyday. He constantly laughs at us, and especially at Johnny. He has one tooth on the bottom, but more are on their way any day now. The teething process is not very fun... we are revisiting the "newborn-waking-up-multiple-times-a-night" stuff. I must say I don't miss that part of having a newborn! He4 sits up very sturdy. He gets on all 4's and rocks, but no crawling yet. He thinks he can fly instead of having to crawl. So far it hasn't worked. He loves bananas. He will eat the entire thing all by himself. We just love our little man so much, and I cannot believe how fast it is all going right before my eyes.

HAPPY 8 MONTH OLD BIRTHDAY, B!!!

I absolutely love this stage. Constant smiles, laughing, talking, it just doens't get much sweeter than that. Braidy is growing like a weed, but seems to still be a little guy to me. He sure does love his baby food...well, everything BUT peas. I think his favorite is squash and pears. He is finally sleeping through the night from about 7 until 5 or 6, and then will go back to sleep after eating until it's time to wake up at 7 or so. I can handle that and will not complain! He is not crawling yet but he will get up on his knees or hands (not really both yet) and just rock and rock and rock....and then bury his face in the ground. Before I know it we will be planning his first "real" birthday party. Oooooh I am so not ready for that!!!

6 Months and More!

Happy 6 Month Birthday to ME!

Yesterday was his actual "6 Month Birthday" but yesterday was a crazy busy day, so blogging did not get on the top 10 things to do list. My apologies. I can't believe he is 1/2 of a year old. Wow time goes by fast. I know this month will go quickly too, so I hope to savor every sweet second of it.

We went to Wichita Falls for the day to meet my aunt, uncle and cousins from Oklahoma at Jess and Chris'. We had a great time, ate some great food, played some Wii, and painted some in Crockett's nursery (pictures to follow). John LOVED feeding and going to see the horse. He wanted to take him home with us. Braidy had fun being held all day by everyone. LuLu decided that we needed to get candles to have a "1/2 birthday party". B got his first taste of ice cream, and he liked it alot! He better just wait, the cake in 6 more months is going to be heaven on Earth to him!

John's first experience with RIBS!!!

5 months. WOW. That just sounds old! He is so much fun and I can't believe it's already been 5 months. Here's a couple of pictures of the "heartbreaker" himself!

My favorite thing in the world is when we get home, I have him in my lap and I ask him what he did at school today?!?! I say things like..."did you drink a bottle?" "did you take a nap?" "did you play with Ms. Jeri?" etc...and he laughs so hard. Like a deep laugh. It's the sweetest noise in the world, and I can't help but laugh and laugh and laugh at his sweet sweet boy who I love SO much!

4 Months Old!

Wow, FOUR MONTHS has gone by in the blink of an eye. Braidy is at such a fun age...we are loving every minute of it! His smiles absolutely melt our hearts, we love when he "talks" to us, when he laughs, when he is trying so hard not to go to sleep by talking, "singing" and constantly making noise while being rocked and then suddenly it stops when he finally gives into sleep, when he stands up (he would much rather stand than sit...i think he'll walk before he crawls), when he pulls my hair, earrings, lips, anything he can get his hands on, when I pick him up from school and he smiles from ear to ear when he sees me, when he is the happiest baby in the world in the morning, when he sleeps and looks like the sweetest, most angelic baby in the world, when he watches his daddy do anything and everything, when he gives the greatest "open mouthed" kisses, when he is smiling huge...sees a camera come out, and stops...and becomes mesmerised by the red light on the camera...basically we love it all. I wish I could slow everything down.

Happy 4-month birthday sweet boy!!! We love you so so so much!!!!

3 Months Old!

Enough Said.

Hanging out with daddy! GO TECH!


While mommy and daddy were changing their sheets, they stuck me in the laundry basket, can you believe that?!!? I fit just perfectly!

My newest obsession is eating my fist. I have a special trick where I stick the whole thing in my mouth. I think that some yummy milk might come out of it if I suck on it! It sure tastes yummy!
