I know I always say this, but I can't believe how fast time flies and how fast little ones grow! Brayden is officially 6 months old, half a year!
This little man steals our hearts daily and is often used to remind us of how great our God is. It is amazing to watch him experience life, to stand in awe of something as simple as a tree blowing in the wind...God's little reminders of His beauty and awesomeness seen through the eyes of a 6 month old.
Brayden got his first tooth about 2 weeks ago and is currently getting his second one. Teething is no fun! Poor kiddo. Thank the Lord for frozen bananas, washcloths, teething tablets, and this little raspberry.
He loves hearing himself talk and scream and is pretty sure mommy and daddy love to hear it too. He has so much to say, it is so darn adorable to listen to him as he tries so hard to chat with us. And the screaming is cute too...for now ;).
Tummy time has become more enjoyable as the days go by and he is just starting to move himself from side to side as he reaches for toys. He finally figured the art of rolling from back to tummy (it is hard work when you are a big boy!). He wants to move SO badly, soon my sweet little boy, soon.
He has enjoyed every solid we have tried, but his favorites are white sweet potatoes, carrots, pears and HE LOVES bananas; I'm not surprised, anything sweet...lets hope he doesn't have mommy's sweet tooth! And straws, he is obsessed with straws. Anytime we are drinking out of one or if there is one in the room, he spots it and reaches for it, and asks for it (in his baby way of course). He hasn't quite figured out how to drink from it, thank goodness, but they must be soothing to his little gums; that or he just wants to be like mommy and daddy.
Keith and I went away for our anniversary and brought our little man with us! Brayden went on his first plane flight, and vacation, and had a blast! He did great on the plane and loved all the little places in the San Francisco area we visited, especially Muir Woods (trees are a favorite of his).
He still loves books, music/singing, and his little jumper. But his favorite toy, that always puts a smile on his face, is his little doggy. It is SO cute to watch him with his "friend".
A lot of his toys have buttons to push and things to spin to turn on sounds/lights, and he loves pushing/spinning them. He has a little aquarium in his crib and we often hear him turning it on and off, sometimes in the middle of the night ;).
I used to watch this little guy when he was a little bigger than Brayden for a couple years, and he gets to come play with us every once in a while! Brayden loves his little friend Austin, and Austin adores Brayden-don't be fooled by their seriousness ;).
He still loves being held, and lets us know too! We cherish our sweet moments with him in our arms because we know they won't last for long.
What a blessed half of a year we have had with our sweetness. Mommy and Daddy have learned to depend on the Lord more than ever, and have been sweetly reminded of His precious grace every day through your little life Brayden. We are so thankful for you and the time we have had with you thus far, we pray we get many more half birthdays, and real birthdays with you little peanut. We love you to the moon, and back!
Just for fun...look how much he has grown in 6 months!
Just standing up :)
See my tooth?
