Time is flying! Our little man is officially 4 months old, and we couldn't love him more!
Brayden is SO aware of everything, he is constantly watching us. He gets really excited when he sees one of us, so excited that he kicks and moves his legs and arms. It is adorable, and we get pretty excited when we see him too! In the morning when we go to get him, he is BEYOND excited to see us, and that smile is the best present in the world!
He is pretty observant, which makes getting him to smile for for the camera a challenge at times. It is as if he is trying to soak in everything he sees and figure it all out. What's a camera? Who is that strange face? What is this place?
He has the most precious laugh, which comes out only when he's tickled, although he has just started laughing at mommy too! Hopefully daddy will get some of those giggles soon! I think because he is so observant, he can be so serious at times. We can't wait until those sweet laughs become a regular occurrence.
He has started talking even more, but now with all different sounds. He makes the "m" sound quite often, so I think mama might come soon (maybe I'm just hoping that ;)). He blows bubbles and mimics us when we do too...it is pretty funny.
He still loves to stand, and would walk if he could I'm sure. He is sitting up, with help, but can do it on his own for a few seconds. He hasn't quite figured out the art of "balance".
He tries SO hard at everything he does. It is so precious. And his hands...they have got to be his favorite things in the world at the moment. They are CONSTANTLY in his mouth. And if not his hands, then whatever he can get his hands on (mommy's hair, toys, books, etc.).
He is sleeping better most nights, but still gets up once to eat. He has mastered the art of the "45 minute cat nap" which we are working on extending. It's as if he thinks he is missing out on something mommy or daddy is doing, and just wants to be with us. He never is too excited to go down for a nap, he would much rather be playing with mommy and daddy, that is unless mommy is holding him for a nap, then he will sleep much longer!
He LOVES to cuddle which melts my heart. Whenever he wakes up from a nap, or from the night, he just likes to be held and snuggle for a bit. And there are moments throughout the day where he just likes to rest his little head on my shoulder and let me squeeze him tight. If only I could freeze time.
He is getting bigger and longer by the day. He has the chunkiest little legs and the chubbiest little cheeks which get hundreds of kisses everyday! He is just the cutest thing in the world, and we couldn't be more grateful to the Lord for him. Mommy and Daddy are so so in love with this little baby!
