While watching one of Jeff's races, my friend took these pictures of Brayden playing on the football field. And this is one last picture from Black Butte. Daddy was tickling him.
Such a cool dude! Chillin with Pa His first time eating watermelon. He did seem to like it (despite his face) Brayden would beg everyone to put his shoes on and take him outside. Pa was often the one suckered into it. ;-) We rented bikes and a bike trailer one day and rode around the ranch. Brayden loved it. When we stopped he kept saying "go, go" he even fell asleep after about an hour. We just might have to get one of these trailers for home.
Brayden being cute at breakfast Brayden doesn't care much for water. We could only get him near the water if we were holding him. He did not want to go in at all. Brayden had a great time playing with Gramps He loved eating Grandma's dried mangos. They were like leather and he would just pull and pull.
I know it has been a long time since my last post. July has been a crazy month with four family trips and Brayden's first big illness. We also had his first trip to the ER. So here are a few pictures from the past two months. Brayden loves corn.
Looking like his daddy

Uncle JJ helping Brayden ride a trike.
Brayden in California. After a day of puking he wasn't looking great. Poor kiddo.
I try not to be one of those moms who is always bragging about their child, but I just had to share these videos. Brayden loves his numbers and letters. It all started with these puzzles I got him. Now he points out numbers and letters everywhere. He knows almost all of his letters, although they aren't all pronounced perfectly yet. This video was taken a few weeks ago, and since then he has filled in most of his gaps. You have to listen very carefully to hear Brayden. Enjoy.
This is the second half of the alphabet. His attention span isn't great yet.
This shows the puzzle that he loves. He has learned the letters by tapping them on my leg. He started it because I always sing/chant the letters and tap them on my leg like they are dancing. Now when he wants to know what a letter or number is, he taps it to my leg. Odd? Yes. But I guess it works.
Here is a video of Brayden with his number puzzle. He does well in the beginning but loses interest quickly.
