OBX Pictures

Please forgive me for stopping at Day 3 of beach pictures. We didn't technically have internet in our house so we had to "borrow" wireless from our neighbors. It was hit or miss and I got tired of dealing with it. Here are a few that Andy's brother, Adam, took one afternoon on the beach.

The waves were very rough and fun!

Braden fell asleep like this while Aunt Becky was holding him. He sure is crazy about her...as am I!

OBX Day One

Four Months Old

Braden is four months old today! He had his four month check up yesterday and everything went well. He is 14 lbs 3 oz (45th%) and 25 in (60th%). No surprise that his head was in the 75th percentile. One day he'll grow into it. It's hard to conceal that huge brain in there! Here are some fun things Braden is doing these days:

• Laughing outloud.
• Rolling over from front to back and almost back to front.
• Losing all his hair and gaining his new hair. Looks like it will be a lot lighter!
• Gabs nonstop and really loud.
• Puts everything in his mouth.
• Loves holding his feet.
• Reaching for toys.
• Copies me when I stick my tongue out (usually).
• Sleeping through the night (HA HA...I wish! Only in my dreams!)

I'm sure there is more, but that's all I can think of for now. Enjoy these pictures from the last week or so.

GranJan really likes talking to me and telling me my name.

Papa's right hand man.

Napping on the dock at Lake Norman.

See, all my front hair is falling out.

But I still have lots in the back.

Why do you keep sticking your tongue out at me?

Ooohhhh, you want me to copy you!

Under the weather, but still smiley!

All this playing makes me tired!

Look at my trick!

A Day in the Life

"Feet are so fun!"

"I forget to swallow when I'm on my tummy!"
Ben likes to warm Braden up after his bath. So spoiled!Look how good he holds his head up these days!
A nap in the swing.

The following pictures were taken in a 3 minute span of time the other night. This is proof that Braden has bipolar tendencies! I laugh every time I see these.

*Please note the double chin and wrist roll! I love my squishy boy!

Our Three Month Old

I have found three months to be quite a fun age. It seems every time I blink Braden is doing something new. In the past week he has started laughing out loud, rolling over from his tummy to his back and has found his feet. Any chance he gets he grabs hold of his foot and just stares intently at it. I'm enjoying all these new things, but I do wish he would slow down a bit. Can't he stay an infant a little longer? Another exciting thing Braden is doing is sleeping through the night....sometimes. On Friday he went to bed at 9:30 and I didn't hear from him until 6:30! He has slept until 4 or 5 a few times, but 6:30 was amazing! I hope this trend is here to stay!

Here are some recent pictures:

Outgrowing lots of clothes these days!Our little heffer! He weighs over 14 pounds now.
