Brayden is 6 months

Brayden will be 6 months on Saturday. He is so sweet. He is full of personality. He laughs out loud all of the time. He loves his big brother so much and is always watching him. He loves to swing on the swing set. He has started eatting some solid foods. I have been making his food homemade. He likes sweet potatoes, bannanas, pears, peas, and carrots. He didn't like avacado or peaches but he does like the peaches mixed with sweet potatoes. He tried a baby mum mum for the first time today and LOVED it. He loves his paci. He is almost crawling. He can get up on all fours and scoot about 3 or for scoots like that. He tends to go backwards a lot though, haha. He rolls all over the floor. He can sit up unsupported for a little bit of time now. He still nurses about every 3 hours during the day. He has been sleeping from arounf 9:30pm til 7 or 8am the past few nights and then eatting and sleeping a little while longer. He can wear 6 months clothes and some 9 months clothes depending on the brand.

Bennett is 2!

My Ethiopian beauty has turned 2 years old as of yesterday. It is amazing to think how much he has accomplished in those 2 years. He has forever changed our family. We are forever greatful for his birthmother at this time. Two years ago she gave birth to him in Africa and we are forever thankful for God's plan to have him in our family. We celebrated his 2nd birthday with a Elmo party (yes, Elmo AGAIN, the kid is slightly obsessed). Lots of family and friends attended. It was at our house due to rain instead of the park. Bennett had a blast with his friends.

So what has Bennett been up to lately? He loves being outside. In fact, for his birthday he got a huge playset for our backyard. He is in love. He also got a real golf set from daddy. It is soooo cute.

He has recently learned to jump with both feet off of the ground. He loves his little brother and smiles and laughs with him often. He loves watching Elmo. He goes to Mother's Day Out one day a week. He loves balls and cars right now. He has showed he has a little temper lately :) He still doesn't talk a whole lot but we are starting to work on that with him more and he is going to start speech therapy. He has been "playing soccer" on a team here. It is for all kids his age and they play little games with the kids to spark their intrest. Basically him and his good buddy Caleb run around the indoor soccer feild while other kids sit and listen to coach...hahaha. He is still a big time daddy's boy. He loves hanging out with his Auntie Christa and being around all of the family. He loves to climb everything and then jump off. He is great on the play ground. He recently has started to get shy when he firsts sees people. It is so cute. We look forward to raising our little boy!
