Growing with the Curve

Brayden went to the doctor today and suprisingly he is still growing with the curve. He has maintained the percentile now every time. His latest stats are:


27 inches long (95th percentile)


16 pounds 8 ounces (75th percentile)


Head is 50th percentile still


He had 3 shots again this time and the first one he let slide, the second one he got mad, and the third one it was a good thing it was over. I picked him up and he was fine. He is still in a pretty good mood and is ofcourse taking a nap now. Here is a picture with his two bandaids.

4 Months ALREADY!!!

I have so many new pictures of Brayden this week. This was a big week for him. We started him on cereal, after about 2 weeks of regressing back to not sleeping through the night I called the doctor and got permission to start. You will see a few pictures of how it went the first time, but as you can imagine not much got in his mouth. Oh well, he is getting better as we got to his third day of it. It has still helped his sleeping a little so I can't complain. Brayden turned 4 months old on Thursday. I can't believe it. We go to the doctor this week for his 4 month visit. I am anxious to see how big he is. Brayden has out grown all of his one piece 3-6 month outfits. He is too long for one piece outfits so he will be wearing alot of pants and shirts forever!!!
He now likes to be on his belly again and is scooting everywhere. I put him down in one place and he ends up 2 or 3 feet away. It makes me think of just how not ready I am for his to crawl.He is grabbing things and putting everything in his mouth, I mean everything including a water bottle that was 1/2 full. He struggled with that one a little. We finally got out his jumpy toy this week and he loves it. He definately weighs enough to get his feet to the floor. He gives lots of smiles while he is in it.
I finally ordered his 3 month pictures. I can't wait to get them. I got so many I am not sure where I put them all.

Brayden has become quite the shopper. We can take him shopping anytime and he will stay happy for as long as he is not in the car seat. Today we went to the mall and he was riding in his stroller, he was talking so loud that everyone in the stores were stopping to see him. He got everyone's attention!!!
Brayden hasn't been sleeping through the night this week, I haven't figured out why yet for sure. Is it the cough and runny nose? Is it the teeth coming in? Is he hungry? Who knows. Thursday he turns 4 months, and we go to the doctor the following Tuesday. We are hoping that we can start cereal. He is very curious to what we are eating now so I am hoping he is ready for some real food.
Brayden is getting use to day care and we are getting use to him being there. I still don't like it but I am getting adjusted. By what they tell us, he seems to like being able to watch all of the other kids around him.
