The Important Things..

Bailey & I spent our weekend teaching Brayden this...

Now that he knows the important stuff (according to Bailey this was pretty important) we can now move on to colors & shapes- ha! :)

Annnnd I can't believe in just a few more days he will be ONE! I still remember the very first time I held him- it changed my world forever! :)

A little of this..

Bailey's parents got Brayden this chair for Christmas and he just LOVES it! Although, he likes to stand in it & try to walk off of it, sooo we are trying to nix that 'trick' real quick! :)

We have not been doing too much around here. The weather has been really cold & gross for the past week or so- which kept us inside most of the time. Today actually turned out to be a nice day, so we were able to go on a walk & play at the park. We had planned on going to the zoo, but Brayden decided to sleep in past 8 and then take a loooong morning nap, so we figured we would just hang out around this side of town.

Brayden's FIRST birthday is coming up in just a few weeks & I am so excited to celebrate his special day!:) I am getting sad about it too, but it does mark the day that I was so richly blessed! He has changed & grown so much this past year & I love him with all of my heart! His laughter is the best & I can't get over his big kisses either! I am totally in love!!:)

Wordless Wednesday

11 Months...

I can't believe that Brayden is 11 months & that I am planning his 1st birthday! I don't know if I should cry, be happy or cry some more- ha!

Anyway, he is doing so many new things & it is always so exciting for us to watch him learn something new. Here is what our big man is up to now...

- walking like a champ
- making himself stand up on his own for however long he wants to
- drinks from a cup on his own (well a lot of it ends up on him, but he def has the concept down)
-sleeps with his bear :)
- LOVES to be on his head and/or upside down...not sure why, but apparently Bailey liked to do it as well, so like father like son!:)
- has to turn everything upside down then dive over it
- is in love with opening & closing doors
- will actually sit still for a few minutes to see Elmo on TV
- is babbling A LOT
- waves bye-bye
- gives out the BEST kisses :)
- is showing a ton of attachment to me & daddy
- can get out of his walker ON HIS OWN- ahhh!
- plays his drum
- likes to rearrange the furniture
- LOVES LOVES LOVES bath time & his first 'word' aside from mama & dada was 'Bah'= bath
- has 7 teeth & I think 1 more is about to pop up
- annnd tonight he showed us how he can ALMOST get up on the couch on his own- lovely! :)

I just love him so much and am so thankful that we were blessed with him! Life could not get any sweeter! :)
