I think he loves his daddy!

Me: Hunter, talk to Braden....he is sad.
Hunter: No, he's not sad, he's happy.
Me: Are you happy?
Hunter: No, I'm sad.
Me: Why are you sad?
Hunter: I wanna see my daddy...(insert loud crying scream here)

packing

So I spent the morning in Braden's room packing up all of his newborn and 0-3 month clothes. So sad seeing those little outfits go in a tub to store away or sell! I can't believe he is getting so big and outgrowing those tiny little outfits! On the plus side, I got to pull out the 3-9 month tub and see all of the cute little clothes that Hunter wore and some new ones we got for Braden. I know Josh will be excited that with this tub came 4 A&M outfits!!

HE DID IT!!!!

After bathtime, Hunter and I went into his room to get ready for bed. We picked out his batman pajamas and he said "Go potty" so off we went to the bathroom.....

Once we got there, he got nervous and said he didn't have to go, but I picked him up and set him on the potty. A few seconds later, he tried to get off and I distracted him by saying "LOOK, it's working" (if you don't know, find the post titled "It's Not Working") and as he looked down...HE DID IT!!! He went in the potty for the first time (at least in front of me). He was so proud and he wanted to do it again.....but no such luck! Maybe this is the start of something!!!

My little man is such a big boy now!!!

Braden

Braden sgot to make a trip to Palmer to meet everyone at the end of July. He got to meet his great-grandma and great-grandpa, Jimmy, Karen, Michaelle, Brenna and Daniel. He also got to go visit church friends! It was a long trip, but we were happy to make it!

On July 28th, Braden started day care. He is at ABC Nursery and we are very happy with it so far. He is taking bottles now which is a huge relief. He is a very happy baby and generally only cries when he is hungry. He is still waking through the night, but hopefully we will get through that soon! He had a throat infection after being in day care 5 days, and at the doctor's visit they weight him and he was 15lbs 2oz....he likes to eat! He is getting over that now and feeling much better with the help of the meds.

Here are a few pictures:
Braden loves his big brother! Hunter calls him "my Braden"....the bonding has started

Hunter LOVES summer!

Hunter has really enjoyed this summer! From swim days every Tuesday and Thursday at school to learning to play t-ball in the back yard, he always has a smile on his face if it has to do with playing outside. some of his favorites right now are swimming with daddy, watching tree frogs on the doors, looking for lizards at school, "catching buses" and playing I spy on the way to school, and playing with Sara and Dosha across the street! He is turning into such a big kid right in front of our eyes! Here are a few pictures!

Here is Hunter and his class at school during swim day. Can you find him?
















Here is a close up!



















When Michael and Angela came to visit, we took a trip to the aquarium in New Orleans




































































Hunter loves fruit! Watermelon, strawberries, grapes, blueberries and pineapple are his favorites!



















Here is one of his latest art projects from school! The day he made this, he came home with blue glitter IN his mouth! He loves art!
