Didn't Go Like I Thought It Would.........

In my mind I thought that Brayden's 1st haircut would be a great, wonderful & tearful experience for our family BUT boy was I wrong.  We have been debating on when he needed to go & finally his hair just looked crazy all of the time so IT WAS TIME.  We were going to go as a family this past Sunday but B wasn't feeling 100% so we again put it off & I decided to go yesterday.  Unfortunately Lance had to work so he wasn't there but I think that was probably for the best because he HATED every second of the experience.  I didn't think he was going to love it or even like it but I didn't think it was going to go this bad...........

He wanted no part of sitting in the "little seat" by himself so I sat in a hair with him on my lap & fought to keep him as still as possible the whole time!  It was heartbreaking but the boy needed his hair trimmed something awful so he (we) just endured the painful 5 minutes!!




***NOTE TO SELF - candy does not work as a bribe with Brayden*** 




Someone please save me........... 


After all of that he was fine & got this certificate for his baby book. 

To me he looks like a boy now 100% & I am sad but he sure is cute with his new do!!!

Big Shoes to Fill........

B loves to put on shoes that are lying around the house & for this reason I make sure that I only leave my tennis shoes around so he doesn't end up in heels!!

It is funny to watch him walk around the house in his daddy's shoes when he is at work; he will walk around for what feels like hours wearing them saying "Dada" & each time he says it I tell him "Dada is at work"; he will stop for a second & then start calling him again.  It melts my heart & I love that he loves his wonderful Dada so much..........I guess that is why Dada was the first to hear "luv u" for the first time EVER this past Monday, huh??



He is talking up a storm & although we still can't understand a good bit of what he says when he decides to say something it is the best feeling in the world...........now how do I get him to say "luv u" to momma????

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

On this day at around 5:30pm Brayden took his 1st step all by himself; it was only 1 step & I don't even know if he knows he did it but it was such perfect timing because Lance & I were both sitting on the floor with him when he did it (& Lance works alot so for him to see it was really special).  We are guessing that walking is right around the corner but I feel like he just started to pull up on EVERYTHING,
& then crawling (faster & faster everyday),
 & then standing up with out the use of anything,
not to mention climbing the stairs every chance he gets,
but now he is going to walk...........little man you've got to slow down, just a little because if you don't tomorrow I am going to blink & you are going to be graduating from high school!!

Weekend Review, Tooth #2, & So Much More.....

We had a wonderful weekend getting the house organized & finally putting things on the walls in the new house.  We are trying to take our time with the decorating aspect of this house & it seems like it is taking FOREVER; slowly but shirley things are getting hung on the walls, put in their place & it is looking more & more like home each day!!  I promise once at least one room gets fully finished I will start to post pictures of it all.

The best part of our weekend would have to be all the things that B learned, did or popped out.  In the span of last Friday to Monday (yesterday) his 2nd tooth popped through, he learned how to patty cake all by himself, decided that he can use his pincher's to feed himself, can drink from his sippy cup all by himself, can scoot himself on his belly all across the room (only backwards though), & only wants to walk when we go from room to room (holding our hands of course)!  I swear I feel like he became his own little person this weekend & soon he won't need me at all.

I knew that he was working on a tooth but should have know that it was coming VERY soon when Sophie became his best buddy again Friday night.  I noticed it had popped through yesterday when I picked him up from school & he now has his 2 front bottom teeth!

He has been working on the crawling thing a good bit for only about a week now & he really doesn't show much interest in doing it but he will rock on his hands & knees but usually gives up, lays on his belly & pushes himself backwards to get where he wants to go or to get his hands on the toy he is after!

When B first started school I went back & forth in my head about if I did or did not want his school telling us things that might be firsts; at first I didn't want them to tell me things because I thought that he would eventually do it for Lance & I & we would think he did his first whatever for us but I have changed my mind completely on that when I found out he had been feeding himself for over a week before he did it for us at home NOT TO MENTION drinking from him sippy cup by himself.  It is so neat to watch him do things for himself not to mention I now get to make him homemade finger foods!!

He learned to clap when we sing "paddy cake, paddy cake" to him & it is the cutest thing I have ever seen in my WHOLE life.  He gets so excited when he hears it & will sit & clap the whole time you sing it & I mean the whole time.........no matter how long you sing!!

Now on to the thing that makes me the most sad; he loves to do this (below) all the time& by all the time I mean when I am holding him he pushes me to put him down! 

He doesn't want to be held by his momma when we are at home anymore, he wants to walk like a big boy..........doesn't he know that he is still my baby & mommy needs more baby time with him??  Doesn't he know that he can't grow up this fast??  As cute as he is walking I still want to hold, cuddle & carry my little boy.........at least for a few more years!!

Oh yeah..........I almost forgot; Lance has to lower his crib tomorrow too.  I put him down in his crib so that I could get his bath ready & when I walked around the corner I saw his with his hands on the front of his crib up on his knees; I almost passed out!!  Slow down little man......PLEASE!!!

Catch Up Cont'd - Easter Sunday

This little gummy smile brightens my day & fills my heart with the greastest joy I have ever known!! 
 We moved on Saturday & slept in our new house for the first time that night so when we woke up Sunday morning it was Easter & the Easter bunny had come so we had plans to go to lunch with PaPa & JuJu & then take B to thank the Easter Bunny.......... 
The whole car ride to lunch I was wondering if he was going to laugh at the bunny or cry......as we turned into the resturant which is right by the mall I noticed the there were NO cars at the mall!!
Yep, MOM FAIL....the mall was closed & I missed out on taking B to see the bunny on his 1st ever Easter!!
Lance & his parents told me he wouldn't remember anyway but I will; I should have planned better & not let the move get in the way of one of B's firsts.......B was fine but I was crushed!!
We had a wonderful lunch & B had fun playing with the children's paper menu!
We ate & then headed back to the house to get some much needed unpacking done........
Brayden played with his plastic eggs like such..........
Played with his new favorite toy with his JuJu........
& sat on the sofa with his PaPa.........
All in all it was a great 1st Easter but I will forever be upset about Brayden NOT seeing the Easter bunny all because his mommy didn't play better!!
