Brayden was our little football player for Halloween. I was really sick so I never made it to the store to get a him a costume, so we improvised! He had his little colts jersey, some white pants, a football candy basket, so I made him a football player! Then I gave him shoulder pads and leg pads (I used maxi-pads - sorry Bray) and wha-la!
We went to trick-or-treat at Uncle Jay & Aunt Koryn's, Grandma Karen & Grandpa Les, and Grandma & Grandpa McHone's. It was so fun and he's always such a joy!

Pulling up!

Brayden started pulling himself up... on everything!

2nd Tooth!

Brayden finally has his second tooth! I've been checking in his mouth and nothing, nothing and then yesterday I saw it! It's already broke through the skin and is on it's way up! He also has received his first cold with a complimentary runny nose and cough :) He had his 9month check up on Thursday 10/8 and the pediatrician said that he looked and sounded great. He hasn't had a fever (even with teething), his cough is non-productive and his snot is clear so he's good to go! He weighed in at 17lbs 4oz and over 26inches long. He's doing good and getting bigger each day!



He's also saying ma-ma A LOT! And sometimes just mom. It's the cutest thing! And I know that they usually say da-da first, but not Brayden - it's ma-ma ma-ma all the time. Since he's been sick he hasn't been eating that well throughout the day, so he's been waking me up about once a night to nurse. Well, a couple of nights ago I hear him around 4-5am on the baby monitor saying ma-ma, ma-ma, ma-ma - what a wonderful way to wake up! It made me smile :)



Brayden is still army crawling all over the place. And on Friday when Ryan I were both home, he got up onto all fours again, but this time he took a "step"! He did this a couple of times! So he may not skip crawling. He's doing great! He's such a joy - I love being a mommy - it's the best job I've ever had ;)

New hiding spot

Brayden has found a new hiding spot. Our entertainment center has two doors and a empty spot for a shelf (which we didn't put in) and Brayden has recently discovered it - it's his new favorite place to be! He's so darn cute!!!

The Pumpkin Patch

He as checking out a pumpkin...

And he really checked it out by licking it! He was too fast for me!
