A Family of 3!

It has officially been 6 weeks since we've went from a family of two, to a family of three.  Although time has flown, it feels like Brayden has been a part of our family forever.  We are so in love.

Brayden is growing like crazy! I was looking at pictures of him from when he was a couple weeks old and he looks like a completely different little man.  People always say that your kids grow fast, and it is so true.  We are trying to treasure every moment with him because we know they are so precious and fleeting.  I especially am learning to enjoy the little things in life, and to "stop and smell the roses" so to speak, thanks to this little guy.  We are so grateful for how the Lord is weaving him into our family and how gracious he has been to us thus far.

So what is Brayden up to at 6 weeks???

Brayden is a good eater, he has grown SO much and is nice and healthy.  He is becoming a better sleeper, and learning how to sleep by himself in his own bed not just at night, but during the day too.  As much as mommy would love to hold him all day long, I know this is what's best for him.  He is SO alert.  It is so fun to watch him look around at EVERYTHING and to see how inquisitive he is.  I can't get over his smiles, they are to die for.  We try to earn one each and every day, the fan seems to get the most though :).  He is starting to "talk" too which is so sweet, he tries so hard to talk to mommy and daddy everyday.  He loves when mommy and daddy sing to him, and recognizes our voices each time he hears them...even from a room away.  He is SO strong and can bear a lot of weight on his legs already...daddy loves his future athlete!  He loves hearing us talk or read to him whether it be the Bible, praying with him, or reading a book.  And he loves baths, as long as the water is nice and warm and constantly flowing on him.  He is just so precious!

We can't wait to continue to watch him grow and to see the Lord work in his life!
