Brayden continues to be an absolute joy. He embodies the definition of a happy baby. He is really starting to develop an interactive personality! He is a big fan of all people. Everyone gets a smile! He really likes to be outside and doesn't seem to mind the grass at all-he tries to eat it! He LOVES baths-especially when you pour water on his belly. He also seems to like the baby pool that we have. He enjoys going for runs and walks with Tucker and I-thank God or I would never get any exercise! He also loves to scream/grunt. It's hysterical-he starts to laugh/smile afterwards but it seems like there's something wrong with him otherwise.
He is a HUGE fan of Tucker. Tucker can get him to belly laugh like no other. Much to T's dismay, Brayden wants to be involved with whatever T is doing. Thankfully Tucker is very patient with him and will just continue to move away if he isn't feeling in the sharing mood:) One of my favorite times with them is when B & I go to get T up from his nap. There are a lot of smiles, giggles, and goofiness that go on:) Brayden especially likes to get into his sound machine and to hit the base of the light in Tucker's room. He loves Tucker's toys-especially his trucks and puzzles. He's putting everything in his mouth! He is wreaking havoc on our magazines as well!
Brayden is most definitely on the move. Today I put him down in his room, and the next thing I new, he had creeped/scootched down the hallway into the living room! He gets up on all fours and can rock back and forth. I even noticed that he went from laying down to sitting up on the monitor last week. Making strides towards crawling! He is sitting up on his own, but can definitely plop every once in a while.
Brayden is a pretty good sleeper. He randomly will wake up screaming in the middle of the night (so fun), but thankfully it doesn't happen too often. Sometimes I think it's just teething-he's still waiting on that first one! He is a champion sleeper in the car! He's a great napper and puts himself to sleep. Thankfully he really likes his little giraffe stuffed animal and Aden & Anais and he cuddles with Giraffe to fall asleep. Love it! He naps twice a day (915ish-11ish) and 1:30/2-3:30/4) and sleeps from 745/8-7/730.
He is a very good eater! He started getting formula during the day a couple weeks ago, but he's still nursing morning and night. He's basically doing: wake and nurse, 3T cereal and fruit, 6 oz bottle after AM nap, lunch 3T cereal and fruit, veggie, 6 oz bottle after PM nap, 5-6 oz bottle before dinner, dinner 3T cereal and fruit, veggie, nurse before bed. He's a porker. He also enjoys eating out at restaurants-he has been so good sitting in his high chair the whole time. He's also very patient about waiting for his food at home. So thankful for that! However, he is a BIG spitter. He spits up all the time. We try to keep him upright/in his chair after he eats for awhile, but inevitably he spits up. It makes Max crazy:) Thankfully, B doesn't seem to mind and is still packing on the pounds so no worries there.
Brayden was also reunited with DD this month...per usual, he's already a fan:) We can't wait to see what the rest of the summer has in store for our happy little dude!
