Happy Six Months!

Braden is six months old today! Everyone always says to enjoy this time because it goes so fast, and I know exactly what they are talking about. I can't believe it has been six months since we were in the hospital waiting for him to arrive and we didn't even know if he was a boy or girl! I can't believe how big he is getting and his little personality is beginning to shine!

What are some of Braden's favorite things at six months? He loves to blow rasbperries with his lips. He loves rolling over and trying to crawl (but it looks more like swimming). He loves to eat baby food and drink milk. He loves to touch and feel everything. He loves car rides and going new places. He loves to smile and laugh, go for bouncey rides on the bed, dancing with Dad, taking baths and playing peek-a-boo with Mom.

What do we love about Braden? Well everything! We love coming into his room in the morning and seeing him quietly playing in his crib, smiling from ear to ear and stretching from hopefully what was a good night's sleep. :) We love how strong he is and how determined he is to reach milestones like rolling over and now trying to crawl. We love his gummy smile and his belly laugh. We love how silly he is and his babby squaking or babble talk. We love how much joy he has brought to our life and we love being a family of three that gets to do fun stuff together like go for walks, and show Braden new things. We can't wait to take him to the zoo, park, pool and on trips. Most of all we love this person that we created and can't wait to see him grow more and more into his own person with his own interests and personality.

We love you Braden and can't imagine life without you. I think your first birthday will be here before we know it, so we are going to fully appreciate each and every day with you because we know it goes way too fast!
