Fever

It's been a little bit since I've posted - Brayden hasn't wasn't feeling very well this past week/weekend and had a fever for 3 days :( We have been very blessed because he's only been ill about 4 times in his little life. So this weekend when his fever spiked 102.8 we got a little worried! And they even say that when you take their temp under their arm you should add 1 whole degree - yikes! Well we finally got it to break on Sunday night by giving him double the dose of Motrin. Praise the Lord that he's feeling much better and is back to his normal self!!! Here a couple pictures of us trying to cool him down... and sick or not, he's so darn cute! :)




check out those muscles in his little arm! :)

Trash...

So Brayden has this obsession with our trash can. It's the kind that has a swivel top so you just toss things in and the lid is always swivels back in place. Well, So far I have found various toys, balls, Tupperware, socks, the remote, his shoes in there! And who knows what I haven't rescued! I understand his fascination - the lid rocks back and forth & you put things in there and they "disappear"! It's probably like magic to him! So now, every time we throw something away, we check to make sure there is nothing else in there! :)

Just hanging out with mommy

Here are some pictures that I took the other day when we playing!

Bray often has crazy hair... :)



And he LOVES any ball and says ball over and over...


He's looking out the door at his pal Gracie...


Do you want to play ball with me? I'll share!


And this is one of Brayden's famous faces - we call it his Popeye face! From time to time he will talk out of the side of his mouth like this - it's SO cute and funny!


I thought you might enjoy a little touch of Brayden being Brayden ;)

Oh little spinach leaf...

Who knew that a spinach leaf could create so much joy?! Ryan, Brayden & I went to the grocery store on Saturday - which was badly needed! Knowing this, I was thinking of things to occupy Brayden for this long adventure. Well, we were walking through the produce and there was fresh clean spinach leaves... so I gave him one. And he loved it! It was a little wet and deep green which added to his pleasure. He held it in his little hand and looked it up and down and all around. He was so fascinated by this little spinach leaf that mommy had so gracefully given him. After several minutes of checking it out, he decided to really check it out and taste it (everything eventually ends up in his mouth). He made a few funny faces but that didn't stop him, he continued to play with his leaf throughout the store. He loved his little spinach leaf - who knew something so simple could be so much fun :)
