I love this "FALL" weather!

The weather outside the past couple of days have been GREAT! I love that its not burning up anymore..or atleast for a little while. The weather is always changing around here. We ordered Brayden's Halloween costume this past weekend. I can't wait for it too get here!! We are also having a Halloween party and Im super excited about it!I think its going to be soo much fun! Last night Tad was getting Brayden ready for bed and Tad had Brayden laughing and giggling..It was soo cute! I love Brayden's laugh.
He has now really started to fight his sleep. It's a heck of a job to get him to sleep sometimes...most of the time you just have to let him throw his fit and then try to get him to lay down and sleep. His first tooth has cut the skin! I cannot believe he is getting his first tooth soo soon! He's getting to big for his britches already!
Here are a few pictures from the past week.
My Little Man and Mommy playing around with the camera!

Daddy and Brayden were having a funny conversation laying in the floor! Brayden is drinking his juice! He Loves it! :)

Brayden has started sitting up some on his own. I still put something behind him though cause he still has the tendency to fall backwards.

A New Beginning

I took this picture this morning after he woke me up by talking to himself...I sat him in the bed with me and he played with a Billy Bob(a teddy bear). I just thought it was too cute.

I guess he didn't like it anymore the other way so he just turned it upside down...and then couldn't get out of it!

I have come to realize that family is everything and nothing could ever replace my wonderful family and what they do for Brayden and I. I love all of my family soo much and I honestly do not know what I would do without them in our life. They support me with every decision I make as long as its a good one*haha*. I feel honored everyday to have such a healthy and precious little boy whoe makes me smile all the time no matter what kind of day I seem to be having. My main focus now is working on finishing school, taking care of Brayden and making a much better life for the both of us. Of course I couldn't do any of this without the help from my gracious Mother and Daddy!

He wanted to help Izzy with her laundry by sittng in the clothes basket....

This is what Brayden does while Mommy gets a shower and gets ready for school on Tuesday and Thursday morning...I thought that this was so precious of him sleeping holding his blanket.

Brayden decided that he wanted everyone to see his six pack abs...

School has Begun!

Izzy came home one night with this new toy for Brayden! I love the expression on his face! He does love playing in it!

Mommy and Brayden after Tad's cousin Ashley's baby shower about 2 weeks ago.

This is Brayden's first time eating Baby food! He is doing to good with it and loves his veggies and fruits. But doesn't seem to want his milk anymore..So I've been fighting with him about this a little bit. haha

This is Brayden's very first 100 dollar bill that his great-great-grandfather gave him.

I have officially started back to school at LBW. I enjoy both of my classes this term and the teachers! I have had both of the teachers once before. Brayden is growing like a WEED! I can't believe he is almost 5 months old. I see all these pregnant people, and sometimes I wish I were them, but then I realize how bad I hated being fat and tired all the time and I'm glad that Brayden is Here! :)

Brayden is learning soo much now that it's hard to believe that he can do all these things. He puts EVERYTIHNG in his mouth no matter what it is. The other day he had his little zebra (stuffed animal) in his mouth, and when I went to pick him up he had fuzz all in his mouth! It was hilarious! I hate having to go to school and leave him..I still haven't gotten use too it yet. I only go for an hour and half on tuesday's/thursdays and two hrs on tuesday nights. I'm sure it will get easier for me though. I just love spending time with him and don't want to miss anything that he does. I love being his mommy and wouldn't trade it for anything in this world.

Brayden is 4 Months!

Eli and Brayden on the beach..Don't you just love Brayden's expression...

We recently took a vaction to Destin for a week and had soo much fun. We all enjoyed getting away for a while. Tad and my daddy are the only ones that didn't get to go..They had to work!We did miss them though. Each time we took Brayden down to the beach, he went to sleep...I guess that hot sun just wore him out! I still can't believe how fast he is growing up. I wish he was still a newborn sometimes...haha..I love the sleep! I start back to school in about 2 weeks and I'm not ready to leave Brayden yet. He will still not be attending daycare yet. I have a wonderful family that is going to help me out while I'm in class! I will definetly have pictures of Brayden in my notebooks so I can look at him while Im at school. Oh, I have changed my major also! That whole Business degree was just tooo much for me..I didnt enjoy it at all. Brayden has also began to roll over! It's soo funny to watch him too..He can roll front-back and back-front!He's getting so big so fast!

My Sweet Precious Family

Here are some pictures from the past week I just wanted to share! Enjoy!! This was before going to Andalusia for lunch with Izzy(my mom) one day.

We tried cereal for the first time by a spoon the other day and I think more of it ended up on his bib than in his tummy! It was soo funny watching his faces while we were feeding him.

Papa T and Brayden dressed alike and didn't even plan too! They were so cute though I just had to get a picture!

Landon Parker and Brayden Pierce are going to be such great friends one day like their mommy's are now! Landon is 3 months older than Brayden and Landon's mommy Nina is 3 months older than I am also! It's soo cool how things work out sometimes.

Brayden laying in his crib laughing and cooing at his monkey's. He absolutley loves his mobile and could lay there all day and talk to the monkey's on it.

Daddy and Brayden one night before Brayden's Bath Time. Brayden loves his daddy!

Happy 4th!

We celebrated with the family yesterday since my daddy had to go back to work this morning. We grilled hamburger, hot dogs, sausage dogs, and had plenty of other food too. It was hot outside with a very nice breeze going while we were all outside grilling and playing in the pool. I think that everybody had a great time. Brayden got in the pool a little bit but just couldn't seem to hold his eyes open very long. Bless his heart he was WORN OUT! So, we brought his swing outside and he went to sleep in his swing in the shade with his daddy and Papa T. Eli, Max, Aunt Sam, and I like to throw rings and coins in the deep end and go get them and see how many we each get. We all did really good at times(when we weren't out of breath) Eli and I would go for the same coins alot of the times and would push each other out of the way. Oki just wanted everybody to watch her jump off the ironing board(diving board) with and without her floatey's on. Trevor has gotten soo good at swimming in just a couple of weeks! I can't believe how good he has gotten. Later that night, We all get out but the kids are all still in and Tad decides to get in with them and not us! Tad and the boys take turns jumping off the diving board, and Tad throwing Oki in the water. I love watching Max dive and Eli do flips! I'm to scared to do either of them. During all of this Brayden is still sleeping most of the time. He was such a good baby for us yesteday so that we could swim. He will be 3 months Monday!I can't believe it. We are also having his 3 month pictures done Monday and some pictures of Tad and me too. I just hope that Brayden smiles pretty and is happy for us. This past week he has decided that he is just not going to nap during the day at all. Maybe 4 or 5 minutes at a time about 3 times a day! Then at night time he is screaming his head off cause he's soo tired and still doesn't want to go to sleep. I just give him a bath then he knows that its bed time then. Well I don't have my camera card with me at the moment so I don't have any new pictures to post, but I will soon! Have a safe and Happy 4th of July!

Staying at home with Brayden!

Aunt Sam got a new toy (camera) for her anniversary and took some great pictures of little man!

Brayden is 10 weeks old today and it just makes me want to cry! He has started laughing, smiling and cooing at us now. It is too sweet...He is too sweet! He had his 2month check -up last Monday and he is healthy as can be and weighs 11.15 lbs and is 22 in. long...Such a Big Boy!

Brayden getting all excited about going Sunday fishing!

The Dance Recital is over and went fantastic I must say. Cari and I had to play records this year and it was very nerve racking. We normally have all the music recorded on tapes, but were unable to this year. Next year we are going to use either CDs or an IPOD.We need to be doing a little bit of updating :) Now I'm focusing on my online courses and of course my sweet little Brayden Man!
