Bathtime Fun!!!

In this past week Braden has learned to splash the water a lot more. He's been kicking it and splashing a little, but now he grins from ear to ear while he splish splashes around! We're going to have to start taking baths in the laundry sink which is about 1 1/2 feet deep! =)

Braden's CRAWLING!!!

Watch out world Braden is crawling! He loves anything that mom and dad use a lot (cell phones, remotes, and camera) and he saw the camera on the floor and went for it! I had my mom get the flip video camera and she caught his second crawl! Once he started, he was off. It's been just a couple days and he is crawling across the room and going for everything. He has to change out of his pjs when he wakes up now because it's hard to crawl with a onezie on! The wood floors are still a little slippery so he is somewhat contained but I'm sure we'll be locking the kitchen cabinets soon! It's so fun to see him moving all around. He gets so excited when he sees something and starts going for it. His smile just gets bigger and bigger until he reaches it!

7 months old!

Braden is 7 months old and I can't believe it! It's gone so fast and he's changed so much! He loves to stick his tongue out and blow. It's one of his favorite things!


He's eating lots of food. He loves to make a mess and always takes the spoon to play with and help mom and dad feed him. =)

He hates getting cleaned up though! He doesn't like getting his face wiped or having the spoon taken away!

He loves to play with faces and mom's hair! He likes pulling hair or trying to put his hands in your mouth!

For the past 6 months he has sat in his bouncer chair while I take a shower, but that doesn't work anymore! He now knows how to take off the arch off and then proceeds to lean forward as far as he can to reach for anything that is on the floor! So now he gets put in his big bouncie chair. We'll see how long that lasts.


He had a play date a while back with Weston. They were good the entire time except Weston wasn't a fan of picture time. They are both super cute boys! It'll be fun when they start chasing each other around! =)
He likes bathtime! He's not super smiling when he takes a bath but he likes to splash around with dad and play with the ducky and he doesn't like getting out.


Of course last but not least he is an Illini fan! This is just one of the many Illini outfits he has! I can't wait to see him crawling in Grandpa Jim's outfit because it has a basketball on the bum! He's really close to crawling! He gets up on all fours a lot and this just bobs and looks at us like what now?!
