Mama loving her baby boy!1st birthday pool party!
oh, sweet baby boy!!! how are you 2 years young already???!! it seems like just yesterday that I gave birth to you and you wrapped your tiny hand around my finger! it seems like just yesterday I heard you cry as your daddy & I delivered you. baby boy, please stop growing up so fast! you bring me so much joy - more joy than I ever imagined possible. I L*O*V*E and adore you more than you will ever know!

thank you for all who came to his 2nd birthday pool party! we had SO MUCH FUN!
here is an album of some of the pics!
Braden's 2nd Birthday!

2year stats:
25lbs/12oz/34"tall

here are a few of Braden's latest silly things:

yells "stuck! stuck! stuck!" when we brush his teeth since it takes 2 of us to hold him down

says "all done" when we set him in time-out

when asked to tell us what a pig says he does a silly "oink oink" face!

finding his cardboard blocks all around the kitchen floor as he has discovered this is how he can get into the drawers/cupboards for what he needs...clever? oh, just a bit!

he knows how to open the fridge & get his sippy cup when he is thirsty (he's actually been doing this for about 6 months)...well, the other day he brought me a big jar of olives :)

he puts his finger to his lip and whispers "shhhhhh" when "dister" is crying

he LOVES corn on the cob!!

lastly, we have a fish as a son and this kid has NO FEAR when it comes to water...it is pretty incredible to watch him jump in the pool. swim lessons are hopefully going to pay off!

Here a few recent pics of the little man...

here he is with one of his many girlfriends...ohhhhh, this boys face lights up the second he gets to hold his girlfriends' hands! Jesse recently asked me if he ever grabs his boy buddies hands and I realized - NOPE! it's always the girls! even girls that he doesn't know at the park :) haha!
I must say he always picks the cute ones!
he LOVES to feed the goats at our fun local barn!
Braden and his buddy, Parker
playing outback..that is where we are 99.9% of the time!
this kid LOVES corn!
