Mr. Hot Stuff!

Daddy bought Braden these sweet sunglasses and the second we put them on him, he started smiling and laughing. It was the cutest thing! What an adorable little smirk :)

HAPPY 2 MONTH BIRTHDAY!!

HAPPY 2 MONTH BIRTHDAY BRADEN!!

Here are some very fun things that have happened over the last month...

Tummy time has proved to be somewhat of a success. Although he's still not crazy about it, he is learning to hold his head up high (without looking like a bobble head) and has officially learned to roll over, with the help of the little pillow, of course. He's done it almost every time since that last video was taken. And when he does, he's very proud of himself and will usually flash a huge smile afterward. So cute. He's also talking and laughing much more these days. His favorite time is when he's getting his diaper changed (something about being naked, I think :)). He will just lay there and talk and smile for a good 10-15 minutes. I'm sure he'd do it longer if I'd let him, but I got tired of getting pee'd on! :) His new thing is making faces. He loves to sit and stare at your face and if you smile, he'll smile back. If you stick your tongue out, he'll stick his out (that's his favorite). 9x's out of 10 he'll mimic whatever face your making. It's incredible how quickly they learn! One of the most exciting things (for mommy and daddy) is that he started sleeping through the night about 2 weeks ago. We feed him and put him down at 8:30 and he usually sleeps until about 5:30. It's sooooo nice :) These are just a few of the fun things he's doing, there are tons more of exciting new things everyday, but I don't want to bore you all with details...until next month...:)

Smiling for Dad!

It is so amazing how much they grow in a week. Braden is learning new facial expressions and the different sounds his voice makes. He loves to sit in his bouncer and just "talk" and make faces. Here Jesse would make a face and Braden would mimic it. It's so awesome! He has also just found his hands and is desperately trying to find his thumb to suck on it! He tries and tries and eventually gets frustrated and in goes the binkie! It's really quite cute. He'll get it one of these days...

Rolling Over!

We were just hangin out, playing on our tummy time mat, when Braden decided he was done and rolled over! He's done this a couple of times, ...and although I don't think he realizes what he's doing yet, that's a milestone we can mark down in his baby book. I'm just glad we got it on video so ya'll don't think we're crazy when we tell you he's already rolling over. :)

TUMMY TIME!

Although he hasn't actually started enjoying being on his tummy (hence all the "fun" gadgets to distract him) he does LOVE to look at himself in the mirror. Once he finally focuses enough to see himself, he starts to "ooh" and "ahh". It is soo freakin' cute!

Talking

Braden was talking up a storm this afternoon. We aren't used to grabbing our camera in a flash, but we were able to catch the tail end of his little conversation.

A DAY AT THE BEACH...

The weather was very cool and breezy that day, so we didn't get to wear our itty bitty swim trunks (and I do mean itty bitty!), but he looked just as cute in his little sweatshirt and hat...actually he looks cute in just about anything. :)
