Moving on Up

Last week we decided to make the change and put Brayden into a toddler bed. We knew it was only a matter of time before he would climb out of his crib. I was quiet nervous about this change, I didn't think he would adapt well in a toddler bed because he really hates change. Well to my surprise, I was wrong! While we were taking the crib piece down and converting it to a bed Ian said there's no going back now and we didn't have to! The first night was the hardest but Ian took care of it. He laid with Brayden for about twenty minutes until he fell asleep. The next night he went right into his bedroom, laid down and went to sleep and he's been doing it ever since. I'm so proud of this first accomplishment for him. I think I was more nervous about the change than he was.

Glasses

My oh my...someone has a love for glasses. These once were sunglasses but he has popped both of the lenses out and lost them. These glasses have been around for a long time. Sometimes they get lost in the playroom and we won't see them for a couple weeks and then all of a sudden they appear on Brayden. The last couple days they have been a regular. He just walks around with them on like their  part of his outfit. I think he actually forgets there even on. He makes me smile when he walks up to me and wants to say something serious, all I can do is giggle with his cuteness!

Tonight he decided to add a pair!

1, 2, 3 Strikes Your Out!

Brayden attended his first Daytona Cubs game with my parents last weekend. My Dad has been itching to take him to a game. It was much success. Brayden got to meet Cubby and give him a high five and of course blow him kisses whenever he saw him. During the game they let all the kids race across the field, Brayden ran some until his little legs were too tired and Grandpa carried him the rest of the way! He got to see some fireworks too. They made it to the sixth inning and before leaving stopped to pick up a Cubby teddy souvernir. Next stop Tampa Rays!

Victory

I blog mostly for Brayden to look back at when he's older and to relive his childhood. It's also a way for me to look back and remember things we have done and to see how much Brayden has grown.

Brayden won't ever remember this day in history when the U.S. troops took down the biggest terrorist to our country, Osama Bin Laden, but as many people will say "Do you remember where you were when you heard the news?" Even though at this age he doesn't understand but when he gets older and reads our blog, he'll learn that he was eating breakfast while we heard of the news this morning.

Thank you to all the men and women who have served our country, today justice has been served.
