First Halloween

Today was Braylen's first Halloween and he went as a Dragon. He was the cutest. After he took his nap I dressed him up and took him to grandpa's work and grandma's work. He was a hit everywhere I took him. I had to return some stuff at kohl's so I took him to my work too. They absolutely love him there. I took him trick or treating with my friend who's son is about a month younger then braylen and her boyfriend and his daughter. We went up and down two streets and by the end of the first he was asleep. I wasn't actually getting candy for him but a couple of houses told me to get some for him so i did. I mean i didn't want to be rude :P.


P.S. I'm putting up videos of braylen wrestling with grandpa and him dancing with gradpa. the with the rest of the videos on the right.

Hot Dogs, Feet and Books

Braylen now eats table food. He Eat everything we give him. Not bad huh with me being such a picky eater you'd think he would be but he loves all food. He even will drink my dad weird smoothies that he makes.

I don't know why but when Sio was little he used to cross his feet all the time. Well Braylen does too. I even think Nicole said Isabelle does too. the only time he does it is when he's eating, which is when i think sio did it most too. I swear if you never say there faces you'd know they were family.


One of the things that i think is the greatest is that braylen LOVES books. I hated reading and still sometimes do. But no he loves looking at them and turning the pages. He will either sit down and look at them himself or he brings you the book at you sit him in your lap and he'll let you read it to him. It makes me happy.

Surgery

Braylen had surgery on the 23rd. It was nothing major. He had a cyst by his right ear and they removed it. I honestly wasn't that nerves because I knew it was nothing serious. His surgery was at 7:30 and we had to be an hour early. I changed him into his little gown and it looked so cute on him. when they tried to take his blood pressure they couldn't find it so they left it on his toe until it worked. He weighed in at 23lbs. They took him back awake but I of course knew what they were doing. It took not even a half hour. When he woke up he wasn't happy though. I figured the reason being was he had not ate yet but also because he woke up in pain with a stranger holding him. The nurse made his bottle and he sucked it down in 5 minutes maybe less. They gave him a little bear that had patches with stitches. it's really cute. I have to go back on the fourth for his check up. I don't have pictures because i forgot it.(almost two weeks later)

No Laying on the floor

Ok so in our home if braylens up there is no laying on the floor. He takes it as a queue for wrestling. He loves it when grandpa lays down because he can climb pull hair you name it grandpa lets it.


I decided that he was old enough a while ago to use a sippy cup but the sippies i got he couldn't figure out. So i finally got him some that have handle on the sides and hallelujah he got it and holds it himself which is a big deal because he's a stubborn butt and refuses to hold his bottle. He's got much better too but he still doesnt get that you have to tilt your head back, so sometime i lay him on a pillow.

8 Month Marker

Saturday braylen turned 8 months. The Thursday before he took his first for steps. Now hes taking more and more. When he walks and gets excited, I swear he tries to run. he has his second tooth and i think there is two more. We have to keep the tables and edges clear because he stands on his tippy toes and reaches. Usually getting it.


He's having surgery on the 23rd. He has a cyst in a pocket by his ear that has gotten infected twice. It's not harmful but it can get infected a lot. The doctor said he's most likely going to put tubes in his ears also. He said he may need them later so he wants to do them now so he can get them done all at once. Which is fine by me.

P.S. I'm trying to upload the video of Braylen walking.

First Steps!

Yesterday Braylen took his first steps. We were playing on the floor and he was climbing all over me. He stood up so i rolled onto my side away from him and he just started to walk to me. I was praying that I would see his first steps.

oh yea and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
