Bedtime

Bedtime is one of my favorite times of day. Brayden and I come upstairs, I lay him in the middle of our king size bed, snuggle up close and give him a warm bottle. I stroke his precious little head, moving the hair back off of his perfect forehead. He usually grabs a piece of my shirt and rubs it back and forth between his little fingers, he's done this since he was a newborn. I recount the day in my head as I stare at him and think of how amazing he is and how blessed I am to have him in my life. As we lay snuggled together, after the bottle is long gone, I pray. And pray some more. I pray that God will protect him, keep him healthy, watch over him, and help him to grow up to be big and strong. I put him in God's loving hands and tell Him that Brayden is all His. And most importantly, I pray with all of my heart that Brayden will be a Godly man. I pray that he will have a heart for Jesus and that he will be the most amazing Godly man I will ever know. I have tears streaming down my face as I write this because this is more important to me than anything in the world. I know that my husband and I are going to heaven, and my most sacred prayer is that our precious child will be there with us.


"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." 3 John 1:4

Limes...

We went to the grocery store and bought some limes to use with our chicken and every time Brayden was in the kitchen he would point to them and say "ball." I let him hold one and check it out and explained to him that it wasn't a ball, it was a lime...





Then we cut the lime and let him taste it....

Swings, slides, walk - busy day!

It was beautiful outside today so I met my friend Erika and her baby, Leah, at one of the playgrounds in our neighborhood (we have a big neighborhood). We put the kids on the swings and slid them down the slide and had lots of fun! This is the first Bray and I have done any of this and it was so a blast!!!
I love to watch Brayden because he seems to understand more and is more inquisitive every day - so with him, everything is an adventure! He was so interested in Leah and the little kids running around and the grass and the mulch and the leaves and well, everything! It was so cute - I love everything about him!!!
We had so much fun playing and going for a walk! Thanks Erika and Leah for a great day!

Going for a walk...

It was beautiful outside today so I decided to take Brayden and Gracie for a walk. So I put Gracie on her leash, strapped Bray in the stroller and off we went! We haven't been on a walk in awhile and I think for the first time Brayden really grasped what was going on, and I have to say that I think it was probably the most fun I've ever had on a walk! Brayden was laughing so hard at Gracie and the fact that she was on a string, that he was belly laughing! He was "holding" the leash all by himself and he just thought it was the best thing in the world! He thought it was so cool - he actually had control of her. I was laughing an smiling from ear to ear - it was adorable and so much fun! I can't wait to go for another walk! And maybe next time daddy can go too!

Bath time

Bath time is so much fun at our house and Bray loves it! We splish & splash and sing songs and play. Here are a couple of pictures of him enjoying his bath time!
