He only stops to SLEEP!!

We have no plans of slowing down anytime soon!! He stops to sleep and that is about all!! He loves being around other kids, being outside, and being in water!! Here are a few pictures from the past few days!

He thought he tricked me, and was going to have OREO'S for Breakfast!!

Doesn't like to share his water toys with the dog!

I can't get over how tan he is!!

He loves icecream with chocolate!

This kid thinks sitting on tables is normal, he just keeps doing it!!

Trying to spot a FROG again, he chased it for a while, but wouldn't touch it even when he got close!

This cracks us up!! That little frog again!!

Outside all the Time!!

I had a four day weekend this week after working three days in a row so as you can tell we had quite a weekend. It consisted of his first time to Hopkins Park, his first petting of animals, first horseback ride (kind of), first graduation party, and lots and lots of time outside!! We had a great 4 days off together!! I am happy to report that Brayden finally has his 2 year old pictures 1 week from today!! I am so excited to see how they will turn out!!! I love pictures, and we are using a new photographer, so time will tell!!  Here are a few pictures from playing outside in the water!

Pouting because I couldn't get the colors out quick enough!!

Practicing his open top cup drinking!

He wears others shoes more than his own. He is becoming quite the bare footer!!

He found this palm tree from his first birthday party in the basement and had to have it blown up!!

Happy Birthday Demetri!!

We went to a birthday party today at a little town hall in the country! There was a petting zoo and horse rides!! Brayden was kind of tired so it was all short lived before he was begging to go bye bye, but it was a good time and I was happy to know that he would be nice to animals!! He loved feeding them, couldn't really pet them to much because they were all in a small area!! He went for a pony ride but it was short lived, at least I got a picture or two before he was "all done"!! My little guy continued to be a little explorer and spent alot of time trying to find something fun!! Here are a few pictures from today!

We never get pictures with him, we are usually just chasing him, pays for him to be tired!

Summer Fun!!!

Brayden is going to be so much fun this summer!! We went to the pool for the first time yesterday and he had a ball. He started out a little scared but by the end he was an expert, plus he is the size of the 3 year olds helped alot to. When we got there, I had him in sandals for the first time without crying and a short sleeve shirt, he wouldn't wear his swim shirt so it was just a normal shirt and his swim trunks. He would only go in the water with everything on so he did that for a while, but by the end he was down to just his swim trunks and going down the slide all by himself even without me catching him! That is atleast till he figured out how to go down on him belly into 18 inches of water and go underwater!! He went under water, put his face in and blew bubbles so overall it was a good trip!! We will for sure go back!!
Brayden has started throwing fits for almost anything, I guess the terrible two's is in full swing. It is getting easier to just walk away but I still just want to hold and cuddle him because my cuddle time is down dramatically lately!!

He loves to explore outside and find new things!! It is so funny to see what he finds too!!

Fixing his truck with a SNAP ON screwdriver of daddy's

Took 1 shoe off outside!!

Found a baby toy!! So much fun!!

Terrible Two's....Really??

At 2 Brayden has  been so much fun, he can be a handful sometimes, but for the most part he is an amazing little guy!!

At 2 he loves:

Bubbles

Toys he moves with his feet

Airplanes, Motorcycles, Bikes, Trucks (anything with wheels)

Slides

Water to play in

Watching cartoons

Share Toys with other Kids

His Blankets

Pictures of his Family and himself

Eating at his little table

Going BYE BYE

Animals

Chicken Nuggets

Fruit

Pirates

Brayden doesn't like:

NOT GETTING HIS WAY

Many Choices for Food

Trying New Foods

Being Told NO

Being Woke Up

To be Held

When he can't Figure Something out

This week Brayden finally referred to himself as his Name. I guess we gave him a hard name because it took him a long time to want to say it. He also got 2 of his 2 year old molars. I was so excited that we only have 2 more teeth to get for a long time, till I thought about it and realized that he doesn't have much baby stuff left and he will be continuing to get older!! I don't like the sound of that!!! Potty training is going to have to wait a little while I think!!! In the meantime we will continue to play outside and enjoy our summer. I am so excited to try all kinds of new things with him this summer!!

He looks so big to me here!

Brayden's pet bird he thinks, he visits him on the back step and sings to him!!

He could fall asleep anywhere if he wanted to!! Silly boy

Trying out a little girl car!!! Hilarious, he even put her sunglasses on!!
