The Start of Summer

Braylen loves to be out side and he love to play with our neighbors granddaughters. Isabelle and Lana love Braylen too. When Braylen sees the girls outside he yells out the window to get their attention. He always follows Isabelle around and Lana hugs braylen a lot. He also plays with their cousin Adi when she is at Papi's.

(Lana is the blonde and Isabelle is the Brunette)

Braylen loves animals. He watches birds out the window or chases after them. He also chases after squirells. I am afraid he's going to get to close one day and be bitten.

(He's showing me the squirell)

Grandpa and Grandma where working in the shed putting up rods to hangs tools. Braylen helps Grandpa all the time. He helps grandpa measure the beams and double checked them him self.

First Trip to the Zoo

Me and the family took Braylen to the zoo for the first time on Sunday. He loved it. I had to leave before the my mom and dad so we started from the furthest part of the park and worked our way down. We took the train up to the Primate, cats and aquarium. On the way up he looked at the map with grandpa and showed us were he wanted to go. He stood next to me watching the animals as we went passed. When we got into the building I let Braylen go and he ran. He would go from one window to the next. He didn't know where he wanted to go next.

The Zoo has a dinosour area for the summer. So I wanted to go to that. At first he was excited but the dinos made noises and moved so he started to get scared.

At this point he wasn't scared. A little weary maybe but not scared yet. He didn't really want to be let go of me or grandma.

Then we saw the T-rex. It was 20 feet tall and so loud. It Scared the crap out of Braylen. He was ok when the T-rex stayed with his head up but when it lowered his head and roared really loud and Braylen started to cry.

I put him in front of the Triceratops and he was ok. He wouldn't take his eyes off of the Momma triceratops. When it started to move and roar he freaked again and cried.

They had a prop dino that people could take pictures with. I tried to get Braylen to take a picture but he only wanted to be off of the dino. So I thought it would be funny to put my head in it's mouth. Braylen laughed and so I put Braylen in the dino's mouth. He cried a little then stopped.

I had to be to work at 3 so we went to eat then I left.

After I left Grandma and Grandpa kept on going and took braylen threw the rest of the park. He saw the bears, wolves, and rhino's.

Little Stories

There's a couple more little stories:

One night I bought some pudding cups and reddi whip. Braylen was all for it. He was up way later then he was supposed to be so when I got home he was ready for a snack too. I sprayed a little in my mouth and he wanted wanted some so I sprayed a little in his. Of course he wanted more and more and more. He even started to try and spray it in his mouth himself. He had a mouth full sat in his chair and said Mmmmm.

He loves to clean. If he sees a broom he starts to sweep. He helps vacuum when I do. He's very helpful. He even puts his clothes in the hamper and throws his diapers away for me. He even helped me do laundry.

On one Sunday I wanted to do something with his hair so I moosed it. His hair curled so good. I don't know if the curls show good in te picture but it was the best one.

My mom always said that Walt had this toy plain that he would drag around all over. And now Braylen does the same thing with this Toy dog.

Braylen has to eat with a fork or spoon now but he wants the metal ones not his plastic. He has to be a big boy. He can't really use them right but he's getting better at it. Now he HAS to eat at the table. He refuses to eat when you put him in his chair with the tray.

Easter and More

I know my blogging is well overdue. I've just been busy or lazy. So now I have to update you for the past two months.

Braylen loves to talk on the phone. I let him talk to Auntie Nikki, Isabelle or Sio. He doesn't really talk but he smiles and listens really closely. He gets really mad when you take the phone away too.
I didn't get any picture of Braylen in his Easter outfit but I got others. I put his Easter basket in the middle of the living room floor. he found it and went straight for it. He got tons of Gummi Bears, a baby dino that ours and growls and two more Handy Manny toys. He got the other four for christmas.

We went to go take pictures with the bunnies that stand at Oakwood park. They left RIGHT before we got there. So I just took pictures of Him on the Easter basket.

Braylen has now started to climb on everything. He pulls the dinning room chairs out and climbs on them to get to the table. Grandpa and Grandma put up his playground and up the sides there are ladders and he climbs them to the top. There's nothing out of his reach now.

Update

So I haven't blogged in a while so i figured I should do an update on Braylen and I'll be putting up lots of pictures for Walter. He's such a booger and smart to. when you ask him a question he will shake his head yes or know and it's not just him shaking his head, he means what he says. He only tells you yes when he wants to do it or he says no. Grandma one night brushed his teeth with his cookie monster tooth brush and he has done it since stand on the stool, turns on the water, and brushes his teeth. then he puts the brush under the water then brushes again. He also brushes his hair He loves to steal peoples seats so i decided to buy him his own chair. i got one from Wal-mart and he loves it. He'll sit in it and watch TV. I hate grapefruits but my mom loves them and apparently so does Braylen and he eats oranges skin and all. I got him some stuff for when i redo his room. i bought it of kohl's online and when it got here Braylen claimed the box. The I put a blanket in it for him to sit on, so he sarted to lay in it.

One day while i was home with him i thought he was playing in the hallway but then he got to quite. when i went to find him i found him in the bathroom.

Apparently he didn't think the toilet was clean enough.

Bath Time

Every night Braylen gets a bath and he loves it. All you have to do is ask him if he wants a bath and he goes running to the bath room. He has to wear ear plugs because he had tubes put in his ears. He has his play toys but he loves to swim in the water and put his face in the water too.


I forgot to tell you back in February he had surgery again and had tubes put in his ears. But this time he had a cyst the size of the doctors thumb nail removed. his ear hasn't been infected since the last surgery and has healed all the way. I'm re leaved because hopefully it wont come back again. Besides that there isn't much more to say. He is too smart for his own good though. He knows how to get everything I used to be able to hide. He goes up and down stairs by himself and can get on and off the couch. He picks up his toys when we ask him to with a little bit of help, of course. He's such a big boy. It's sad.
