Hands are good....

I sat him on the couch yesterday and came back and he was trying his best to stuff his entire hand in his mouth! He looked so adorable.... was hunched over sucking away at his little hand! He does this a lot now since he has found his hands. He watches them and thinks so hard while trying to make them do things! It is amazing to watch!

More pictures, 14 weeks old...

We did not stage this photo! He is holding hands with his cousin Virginia. She is 3 months older than him. I LOVE naked booty shots of babies and all their wrinkles! Just wanted to share these couple of photos. So cute!!!
Also love baby feet.....
..... and hands!
Well, just want to brag on Mr. Braydn for a moment. He slept in his own crib in his own room last night for the very 1st time!!! And I have good news to report, he did wonderful, best night we have had so far! He slept from 8:30pm to 4:30am without a peep! Then he woke to eat and slept again until 7:30am!!! Wow, Mommie and Daddy didn't know what to do with themselves! Of course, Mommie slept half the night on the couch, b/c it is closer than our bedroom to the nursery. I was afraid the monitor would fail us! ha! Actually it did....it doesn't get good reception from one end of the house to the other. SO, guess what happened today? We exchanged it for another. We will see how this one does tonight. It is also a portable video monitor. Those are awesome, but not much help if they don't cooperate. During the test run, it passed......so, we shall see! :)
Well, after this weekend, Braydn's Mommie will be a working Mommie! I go back part time starting Monday. But thank the Good Lord, they did work with me and allow me to come back part time! I will work Monday, Wednesday, and every other Friday. Thanks guys!
Thanks for checking in with us!

He likes to swing now...
Well here is a 3 month update on Braydn. He weighs in at 12 lb 12 oz today and measures 22" long. He smiles a lot now and has learned lots of baby babble.......coo...goo...i good, etc... He is so much fun. He now sleeps almost through the night, at least a good 5-8 hour stretch every night!!! He is such a good, healthy, happy baby. We couldn't be more blessed! Mommie gets to enjoy 2 more weeks with him before returning to work on June 1st. Then Daddy will be out for the summer to watch him the 2-3 days each week that Mommie works (until August).
Thanks for keeping up with our sweet little man! He is so precious!
p.s. Braydn now has another cousin on the way, Dee and Leslie Murphy are expecting! Yeay, congrats!!!

2 months old!!!

This picture was taken at 3 days old. Compare to the one below.
This picture was taken at 2 months old! Look how much he has changed! Can you tell he likes to eat?????
Ok, what is up with the bird finger??? Who taught him this???? He does it all the time!
We are smiling now! And cooing!
Bath time...he actually enjoys his bath now, thank Goodness.
Another smile...
We had our 2 month shots yesterday! He was so, so fussy last night! He is much better today! It was pitiful...so glad it's over. 2 more months before he has to do it again.
He got a good reort at his 2 month check up. He weighed in at 10 lb 13 oz. Dr. Hay says he is now in the average range, 25-50th percentile. He was in the 5th at his 2 week visit! He has come a long way. Thanks for checking in on our little man! We are enjoying him so much! We are so proud to have him.

Another week older.....

We had Easter pics made a couple of weeks ago with a live bunny. Our dear friend Valerie did these pictures for us and let me add that she did a GREAT job! For all of you that haven't already heard, Braydn got bit by the bunny during his photo shoot! It is hilarious now, after the fact! But at the time, we were all shocked and a little nervous about it. It didn't even break the skin and the little man is perfectly fine! So, yes, now you can laugh!!! :) This will definitely be something we will never forget.
Braydn visited the Easter Bunny on Friday, April 10th.
On his way to cousin Evan's 6th birthday party, last Saturday, April 4th!!! This was Braydn's first birthday party! As you can see, he was VERY excited about going! Mommie and Braydn at the party (Daddy was there, too, just taking the pictures.).
Here he is at 7 weeks old!
Roll Tide! Hey!
Hey now, I'm an All Star...........(isn't that a song?)
Braydn had another cousin added to the family on Mommie's side. This is Kloe Wright at 2 weeks old. We went to meet her last week.
And here is the big little man himself!!! He weighed in at 9 lbs 13 oz last week! Man, he is growing so very fast and picking up pace, I believe.
The Easter Bunny came Saturday night and left this basket full of goodies for Big B.
Here we are, the family, getting ready for church. This was Braydn's first time at church. He slept right through most of it, but I do have to say I believe he enjoyed the music/singing. We have good music and singing at church!
Before church with Mommie.
Now, we are on our way to Easter lunch. How in the world is he sleeping??? Cannot be comfortable!
But, as you can see, he didn't wake up when we got there either! Here he is on the left sleeping beside his cousin Owen. Owen is almost 4 months old here. Big B slept for about 3 hours in his carrier! Wow, unbelievable!
And here are the 2 men in my life, Braydn and his wonderful Daddy! What a cute picture of the 2 of them.
So, we have had a lot going on, as you can see. We had an Easter Dinner last night, too. I don't have the pictures from that yet. I'll put them up as soon as I get them. He has had baby acne this week, too. But I believe we have conquered it, I sure hope so! It had his little face so broken out!!! But, we found this wonderful cream that fixed it right up, so we are all clear for the time being. Also, I'm not sure if I have mentioned this, but to be such a little man, this dude sure can produce some very loud gas! I am NOT kidding! I mean, it is amazing that something so awful and loud can come out of such a small beautiful baby! But, anyway, for the ones who have yet to witness this, I had to share! :) Thanks for taking the time to check in! God bless you guys!
