Lounging around...

Brayden lounging around on Sunday morning enjoying his cartoons! :) He really does like cartoons!

Baby Neptune...

Brayden loves his new baby Neptune turtle! He loves to hold Neptune close and definitely enjoys chewing on him!

Rather be naked!

What a cute little onesie! Brayden loves getting ready for bath time and getting his clothes off from the day. We think he knows a bath is coming when he gets naked... a big smile always comes along!

In my jumper!

Brayden loves being in his jumper! He isn't quite jumping around like he will, but he is definitely testing out the bounce and seems to enjoy it!

My blue eyed boy...

Brayden has the biggest blue eyes! They are just so pretty! Pictures don't do them justice! We are hoping he keeps them, but we won't really know until he's around 6 months or older. I think they might be getting a little lighter with time, so I'm hopeful! No matter what he's adorable! ;)

Here are several pics of him this weekend.

3 months!

Here are a few pics of Brayden this weekend. He sure is getting big!! He turned 3 months on the 6th!

Having fun in his swing...




Yummy... meal time!


A couple of his nap times...

Lovin the water...

Brayden really loves being in the pool! As you can see, he gets a very serious expression when he gets in the water. Swimming is a serious business for him! Maybe he will be the next Michael Phelps! Haha!

Here are a few pics... the first picture shows his cubby little face! :)

Sleepy time...

A couple of pics of Brayden sleeping. There's nothing more peaceful than a baby sleeping! He's so precious!




Grandpa and Brayden were tired on the boat, so they both got comfortable and took a snooze!

Trip to the lake!

We went to Fort Gibson lake over the weekend. They had a baby pool where we were staying and Brayden loved it! No tears or even a whimper. He was completely content in the water. We also rented a pontoon boat so we had to put him in a life jacket. He wasn't as uncomfortable in it as I thought he would be. He spent most of the time on the boat sleeping, but also enjoyed his new surroundings while he was awake. It was a great weekend!




Getting tired after swimming...




What a precious baby!!



Here are some boat pics...

Cooing, Smiling, Laughing!

Brayden is cooing, smiling and laughing so much now! He's such a happy boy! We love sitting and talking with him and watching for his adorable smiles and coos! You can tell he wants to talk so badly, but he just can't get it out yet. :)

Brayden has also discovered his hand! His fist is quite often in his mouth as far as he can get it. He is definitely fascinated with it!

Here's Brayden with his hand in his mouth...



And here is one of his many adorable smiles...

Mom's Favorite Moments...

There is nothing more wonderful than taking a nap with Brayden! I knew being a mom would be wonderful, but you really don't know the depth of how great it really is until you are a mom. I am overwhelmed by my feelings for him at times. I am so thankful Brayden is in our lives and feel so blessed to have such a sweet little boy! He is absolutely the most wonderful thing ever!! Here we are taking a nap together. :)

Brayden's 1st pool experience!

Brayden was introduced to the pool over the weekend! He did great in the water! It scared him a little the first time the water hit his belly, but he got used to it.

Checking out the pool...



Getting ready...



Testing out the water...



Going in with Dad...



A little scared after the water touched his belly... (Too CUTE!!)



Having fun!!



Whew... I'm pooped from all that swimming!

Preview for Marion...

Here's a little preview for Marion... pics of Grandpa DeBolt and Brayden!!

Little man...

He's our little man! Looks like dad in his khaki shorts and polo! Now all he needs are some Reef flip flops. :)

No new pics??

Ok, ok... I have been quite the slacker! I am sorry I have not had a chance to post new pictures of Brayden. Now that I am back at work I don't have much time in the evenings. I'll get used to my new schedule and start posting more pictures soon! Promise!

How about this... I'll put some pictures up tonight!

Napping with Dad

Whew... Dad and Brayden were pooped from a day of fishing! Bobby went fishing, while Brayden wore his "Under the Sea" Outfit. Earlier in the day I had Brayden in his "Catch of the Day" onesie to remind Dad that Brayden is his best catch!

Bath in the sink...

Here's Brayden taking a bath in the sink. It was a little different from his typical bath, but he seemed quite content. I just can't get enough of this adorable little boy! And he's ours!! Definitely a keeper! ;)

First day away...

Well, my first day away from Brayden wasn't as hard as I'd imagined. It was definitely hard leaving this morning, but I was thankful that Bobby drops him off at daycare in the mornings. I know it would have been a million times harder to leave him at the daycare myself. I was so busy at work that my day flew by and before I knew it, it was time to go pick him up! It felt SO good to see him and hold him!! Just makes you appreciate your time with them that much more!! I am just so thankful to be able to work only 30 hours a week. It was great getting off at 4:00 and then I'll have Friday off. I can't wait to spend the entire day with him!

Going back to work

Well, I go back to work tomorrow. Brayden will be going to daycare for the first time and of course I am quite sad. I know he will be well taken care of, but I'll miss him like crazy!! I hope this week isn't too hard for me. I do know that everyone better watch out when I get off work each day... I'll be speeding to get to Brayden!
