First, I would just like to say that I love posting pic's and keeping you all up to date on what's going on with our family (more importantly, Braden :)). However this blog is very tedious and time consuming and I just can't seem to keep up. Since I'm on facebook at least once a week and since most of you are on facebook already, I have decided to use that to post all of our pics and video's. Here's the link to my facebook page.

Enjoy!!
PEEK-A-BOO
Ok, so I realize I haven't posted anything in a LONG time, but I need all of your help to decide whether or not I should submit this video to America's Funniest Videos. We both think it's hilarious, but of course we do, we're his parents! Leave your comments and let us know what you think. Thanks!
PUMPKIN PATCH
We went to the pumpkin patch for the first time with Braden this year. He wasn't quite sure about what to think of all the orange things! We didn't get too many smiles (from him at least) but we got some great pics!

NI-NIGHT MONKEY
When Braden was about 3 months old and teething, we got him this little toy monkey with little teethers on the feet. Now he absolutely cannot sleep without it. It is the cutest thing, right before he's about to fall asleep, he'll snuggle up with it and usually put it right over his eyes. This is a little collage of different times I've caught him sleeping with it over his eyes. So funny!
LAUGHING
We laid Braden on our bed as we were tidying up our room. Jesse started straightening the comforter and fluffing the pillows and Braden just thought is was the funniest thing.
PICTURE(S) OF THE WEEK!

FAMILY PICS
LAUNDRY DAY!
Laundry Day!!
Braden was being a little fussy and I needed to get some laundry done (one more day without clothes and we'd all be walking around naked! Scary!) so I decided to give him a new surrounding and put him in the basket with all the clothes. Turns out, he loved it! We had so much fun playing peek-a-boo and "where's Braden?"I think we were both a little bummed when it was all folded and put away!
REFLECTION
Well I lied...THIS will probably be my last post for awhile. It's 11 o'clock p.m. right now and we have about a bazillion boxes left to pack but I had to take a moment to post some thoughts. As I was rocking Braden to sleep, I was looking at his perfect little face and couldn't help but feel completely grateful for the many blessings in my life. Looking at him so peaceful cradled in my arms makes every rough day worth every moment. I am still so amazed that he is mine. That this beautiful life and new adventure is mine. That God fashioned so perfectly that I would meet the most incredible man and that he would pick us to take part in creating this little miracle that I now hold in my arms day in and day out. I feel blessed beyond anything I could have ever imagined.
PICTURES OF THE (LAST FEW) WEEKS!
Sorry it has been so long since my last post. It has been a crazy past few weeks and it's just going to get crazier. As most of you know, we are moving back to my hometown (Hemet) next weekend and this will probably be my last post for a while, at least until we are all settled. Until then, here are a few of my favorite shots for you all to enjoy. :)
Sitting like a big boy...
I finally got the camera of my dreams for Mother's Day. (Thank you Jesse and Braden!) I was playing around with the different settings and took this picture. I absolutely love the way it turned out. The lighting and the softness are just perfect...now if I can only remember how I did it...
Passed out! I went in to check on the boys and this is what I found...Like father like son.
Just chillin, watchin the game with dad. Look at that dimple! So cute!
Can you just picture it..."Hey there ladies"...Man, am I glad I have LOTS of time before he actually starts saying those things!
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!
