First Swim

Our friends the Davis' let us use their pool for Brayden's first swim! What wonderful friends!

I didn't realize they made floaties with shade cover until we found this one for Brayden! He loved being in his floatie! He would kick his little feet!

Although this picture doesn't show it...he did love swimming! He's definately a water baby!

Three and Four Months

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything on Brayden. Here's the update on our "little" guy!
-At his 4 month check up he weighed in at 18 lbs and 2 oz at 26 1/4 inches long!
Needless to say he's in the 95 percentile in everything!
-We have started on homejmade baby foods. So far we have tasted rice and
oatmeal cereal, green beans and sweet potatoes. Acorn squash is our next food!
-He loves to be active anytime his is awake. Whether we are playing in our car,
standing with mom and dad's help, scooting on our head, scooting backwards,
playing on our tummy, we are constantly on the move!
-He also loves talking! He babbles at mom, dad, Pepper, the TV, the floor or just
nothing in general.
-At 4 months and 3 weeks, we have started cutting our first tooth. It is on the
bottom left in the front. We can see the little white cap poking through the gums!
-He has started trying to hold his own bottle!
-He doesn't like lying down unless he it eating or sleeping. He is getting pretty good
at pushing him self up to a sitting position if he is lying in one of our laps!
That's all I can think of at the moment...but like with all children...I'm sure he will be doing something new tomorrow! Here are a couple of pictures to enjoy!

Brayden started on rice and oatmeal cereal in his third month! He took till it really well. He likes to put his fingers in his mouth and feel what I put in there! It can get quit messy but he loves it!

This is Brayden's little friend Tyler. Tyler was born exactly one week after Brayden. Tyler was born at around 31 weeks and spent about a month in the NICU. We call the boys David and Goliath since Brayden looks like a giant compared to Tyler!

Yup, the little guy is starting to sit by himselft on somethings. His little legs hug the side of Tow Mater so he can sit up pretty well on him. Bryaden was pretty fascinated with all the bells and whistles that come with Tow Mater!

Brayden playing right before bedtime. As long as he is occupied he can sit up for a minute or two!

We handed Brayden a cookie at Dad's birthday dinner just to see what he would do and as you can tell everything goes into his mouth! Don't worry I didn't let him eat the cookie!
