Brayden's 8 Month Update

I am so amazed at the lil man that you are becoming and I cannot hardly believe that you turned 8 months on Wednesday! These past 8 months have been so completely amazing and you are just the sweetest little boy ever!! It is becoming more and more harder to believe that you are learning all these new things and your daddy and I are just floored that you are starting to walk along the couch and other furniture. You are so amazed by everything and everyone...you have yet to meet a stranger. You are becoming a momma's boy, even though it pains your daddy so...but in my defense you said "Dada" first!

-You pull yourself up and walk along the furniture and the cabinets
-You are starting to lift your arm up when people say "Bye Bye"..so I think it is registering
-You take at least 2 naps a day..depending on if your schedule isn't messed up
-Your in 6 to 9 month clothes
-You get 4-7 to 7.5 ounce bottles a day
-Your beginning to hold your sippee cup a little better
-Still no teeth, but we have been trying new finger foods like..green beans, banana pieces and toast
-You are the most cuddly baby in the world and I absolutely love it
-You have a smile for everyone
-You are momma's little helper with the laundry and you follow me everywhere when the vacuum is out

Weekend Recap

Well our weekend starts on Friday and since daddy was working at the firehouse we spent the whole day with Gram and Pop. First we had breakfast and Brayden tried some new things like some of momma's grits and some toast. Then we went shopping at Toys R Us and we did a clothes shopping, Gram and Pop bought Brayden a new toy that promotes standing and learning and then we also got Jordyn's birthday presents while we were there. We ended up also visiting with Nanny..Brayden's 98 year old great grandma. She was so excited to see him and love on him!! We also had dinner with Grandma June and Roger later that evening at their house. Saturday...Brad and I had made plans to take Brayden over to Brad's parents so we could get some things done around the house. He had so much fun with Grandma, Grandpa and GG!! Later when we got home Brayden decided he was going to help me with some laundry..which of course was the cutest thing!

And then Sunday was the biggest day Jordyn's 1st birthday and Super Bowl Sunday. Brayden got to see all of his friends and did surprisingly well considering the amount of people, momma was by herself since Brad was working at the firehouse and he was sleepy. All in all it was a great weekend full of family and friends!! :)

Craziness to Calmness

I have to say it is because of days like today, it is nice to have a great husband who is also a handyman. Nothing has seemed to go correctly today..other than my son who has been a complete joy! Needless to say my kitchen sink went out of commission this morning while I was in the process of preparing my dinner for tonight and did not get fixed until the husband appeared at 4:30. Then while all of the madness of the sink was going on I realized I only had one thing of chicken broth..so basically my recipe for dinner went out the window. In the midst of fixing the sink the dog starts hacking away and ends up sick...yuck!! But thank goodness Brad was able to fix the sink, while I cleaned up after the dog and low and behold it did cost anything! But after all of the craziness of the day at least for we get to enjoy and quiet and peaceful evening together! :)


But at least I had this precious little man by my side today!!
