The Pumpkin Patch

Brayden at the pumpkin patch!

He as checking out a pumpkin...

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

8 Months!

Brayden is now 8 months old - boy how time flys! He's sitting up, rolling all around, trying to pull himself up on everything and eating like a champ! He loves to eat any food you give him, he opens his mouth up as big as he can and kicks his little feet with excitement! He's also "talking" up a storm, and I could just listen to him all day long! He's so much fun! He has tooth number 1 and is working on number 2 so of course everything goes straight to the mouth and comes out with tons of drool. He's doing great! Such a wonderful bundle of joy :)

So cute!

This is his new favorite toy... a chip clip

He's laughing at mommy

Teething...

Brayden has his first tooth! It's his front, bottom left. I didn't realize how long the teething process took - he's been working on it since the 13th of August. I first noticed a swollen, white bump on the 13th and any time he put anything in his mouth he would cry so I knew something was going on. It finally broke through the skin about a week ago and is still working its way up. He's only been fussy a couple of days through this whole process, which is amazing because I'm sure it hurts!

I also weighed him last week and he weighs over 17lbs! And I think he may have had a growth spurt since then because one night last week he woke me up to nurse about every 3 hours and he hasn't done that in a long, long time. My little boy is growing up!

Sprinkler park!

Yesterday Brayden and I went to a sprinkler park here in Fishers and it was so much fun! They have all these little spouts of water coming up out of the ground along with water spraying out of things and buckets filling up and dumping all over everyone. At first he wasn't too sure about it because the water was kinda cold but after a little while he really got excited and was 'talkin' and kicking his feet and putting his hands into the water, it was so cute! I wish Ryan could have been there with us :)

Here's Bray in his llittle swim trunks!
Here is the park, we were playing under this yellow thing splashing in one of the little water spouts

He's all wet :)


Time to go home!

It wore him out!

Jumpie, Jumpie, Jumpie

Ryan was home with Brayden and he was so tired but somehow full of energy, a dangerous combo at 7 months! So Ryan put him in his jumpie to get rid of some of his energy...

Awake...

Asleep...






Awake... but NOT happy about still being in the jumpie!

State fair

We went to the Indiana state fair and showed Brayden some animals, he wasn't too sure about them - especially when they would make noises!
