Smooth

I did not work today and Brayden had a class at the library, so I took him.  It was story time for the class and all the kids gathered around the teacher and she read to them.  I noticed Brayden kept looking at the girl sitting next to him.  I was kind of nervous, in the past Brayden has had a problem with hitting at random times.  He kept eye-balling this girl and I kept getting more and more nervous.  I was about to tell Brayden to come back with me when he scooted closer to the girl and leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek.  I was shocked and didn't know what to do, so I asked Brayden if he knew that girl and he said "no".  I then asked him if he knew her and name and he again said "no".  Bray might have taken his first step towards being a player.

Crybaby

Monday, the boys and I were at my parents eating dinner.  My mom was holding Riley and he was in a good mood.  Brayden was not eating his broccoli, so I was working to get him to eat his veggies.  Brayden was not happy and started to cry.  I looked over at Riley, who was looking at Brayden, and he was smiling.  The more Brayden cried, the more Riley would smile.  Maybe Riley will teach Brayden how to eat broccoli.

More Toot

Tonight we were sitting in the basement as we enjoyed a fire.  Brayden was walking along the couch and playing with things on the the window sill.  He passed gas, pretty loud and said "oh, toot."  Only seconds later he passed gas again, just as loud and said "more toot."  All while having a quirky little smile on his face as he continued playing like nothing had happened.      

Spelunker In Training

The other day I was sitting on the couch emailing someone in regards to our house situation.  Brayden was playing with a ball, he was all over the living room/dining room/kitchen area.  I was not really paying attention to him, but I knew he was there due to his babbling.  After a couple of minutes I hear him start to yell for his Mommy.  I could not see him so I just assumed he was behind the love-seat or down the hall.  Steph came out and asked me about Brayden, at this point I looked up from the computer and saw Brayden crawling out from underneath the love-seat.  Apparently his ball was under the love-seat and he had to get it.  Our love-seat sits approximately 4-6 inches off the floor, I have no idea how he managed to crawl under it.

That's My Boy

Saturday after lunch Brayden was napping and Riley was on my lap.  Riley was pretty content for a while and then he started to grunt.  I thought to myself, this grunting reminds me of when Brayden was younger and he would grunt like this as he was pooping.  Riley grunted another time or two and then he exploded with a rather large poop.  I looked at him and he just gave me a real big smile.  He is on his way.

Happy Newnie!

We wake up this morning and I go in to Brayden's room and wish him a Happy New Year.  I ask him if he can say Happy New Year and he responds with "Happy Newnie!"  Close enough.
