6 Months Old!!

I can't believe my baby is now 6 months old. Where has the time gone? He is so big and happy and loveable and sweet. We just love having him in our home. He absolutely loves his big brother and his brother loves him. Brayden, we love you baby! Thanks for choosing our family.


They took a bath together and Brayden was having a ball! Ethan just wanted to "smile". Where is it then, kid??

I took Brayden to the doctor today and he weighed in at 17 lbs 3 oz and 26 1/2 inches. He is in the 65% for weight and I wasn't told about the height. Everything looks great. We have to take him to Primary's for a consult for his hand. He has an extra bone in his hand under his right index finger. He tries to grab onto things but I think its starting to get uncomfortable for him to do with his extra sesamoid bone getting bigger. We'll see when they want to remove it.

Brayden has been sitting up for about a month now. He is a pro! He rolled over for the first time from his back to his belly on his 6 month mark. He is rolling like crazy now. Back to belly, belly to back. Its so fun when they start moving around and interacting more. I have been feeding him foods for about 3 weeks and he absolutely LOVES fruits. He is not a fan of vegetables at all so I have to trick him by giving him a bite of fruit first then veggie. He is such a happy, fun baby. He just loves anyone who talks to him and he smiles like there is no tomorrow! I can't believe how happy that kid can be. We are so grateful he joined our family and we feel so blessed everyday for our handsome little man!


I found him sleeping like this one day. Good thing I checked on him. He actually was awake and smiled huge when I took the blanket off. (I knew he was awake or I wouldn't have taken the time to take the picture.)

The Last Month

A lot has happened the last month and I don't want to do a different post for everything so I'm going to do a review of everything now.

First, we celebrated our 6 year anniversary. I still can't believe we've been together that long and have 2 super handsome boys! I love you, babe! Here's to the rest of eternity!


Then we said goodbye to Brad, Missy and Abbi. We sure love you guys and hope that you love it in Minnesota. Hopefully we'll see you soon!


We hit 200000 miles in our Honda. We got it when it had about 195000 so we were pretty excited to be able to be the ones to see all those numbers turned over. Yes, it is that old. Nothing digital about it!

We've got a thumb sucker!! Oh well, at least I don't have to put his binky back in a million times a day. He's also been sitting up the last couple weeks and will no longer lay in his swing. Cute but I think we're done with it. He leans pretty far forward sometimes. We sure love our little Brayden!


Ethan is OBSESSED with Brian's iTouch. He wants to play it all. the. time. We don't let him but he would play it for hours and hours if we did. We just love Ethan and all the things he is doing and learning. He brings us such joy and happiness. He's always got us laughing. We love you, bubba!

He loves to help his brother bounce in his toy. Brayden is content to play with the toys but our little Tigger has to make sure his brother is bouncing!

Ethan decided to become an artist and paint diaper rash cream all over the inside of his closet doors. I wasn't very happy about this but it did kind of make me happy to see him have so much fun. He was so quiet then when I came in, he had a huge grin and said "Look mom! My picture!" How can you get mad at that??

Finally, we took the boys to the zoo. We really thought Ethan would love it since he is obsessed with animals and dinosaurs. They have a bunch of dinosaurs spread out through the zoo that move and make noise. Pretty sure that is why he was so scared of them. He never cried but he freaked out if you got too close with him. He wouldn't leave his Grandpa for more than a few minutes at a time and that was only to see his Grandma or Aunt "Enemy". We still had a great time and Ethan loved the animals, for the most part. Brayden was good for the most part. He couldn't fall asleep so he got a little ornery but was still so happy for the most part. Thanks for coming with us, Grandma and Grandpa Harding and Emily! We had a blast! We love you guys!

Checking out the dinosaur. Clinging to Grandpa for dear life with his left arm. It was pretty funny.

He love his Grandma. He wanted to ride the "dinosaur train" with her and loved it! :)

Checking out the giraffe. Once again with Grandpa. He sure loves his Papa.
