Golly, it's been a while! I had a busy weekend, my mom was here visiting :) And of course the baby keeps me occupied as well! Jon has been home a lot more recently too so I really soak up our family time. Lots of barbecuing going on at the Roberts' residence! Hmm I guess I will first update about Brayden's skills and development and that fun stuff. He's doing sooo much more rocking on his hands and knees (fours), and he pushes up into the position all on his own constantly! He even army crawls differently. He so badly wants to crawl and is definetly getting there! The way he army crawls now is he lifts his torso up and down with each scoot. It's so cute and kinda funny to watch. Before he would basically just drag his body everywhere and use one leg to push but now his muscles are so much stronger. And today he was on his fours rocking and actually stepped forward with his hands 2-3 times! He's still figuring our how exactly how to use his knees. Very exciting! He also knows how to get from sitting to crawling on purpose so I no longer have to sit right by him when he's sitting. Everything else he does is getting more advanced as well, like his babbling, eating, and communications. He doesn't sign yet because he's only 7 months, but I really see him concentrating and thinking when I sign to him things like Mommy, eat, more, drink and much more. His sleeping is still wonderful and now he even lets Daddy put him down. I figured out that he just needs to be happy when he gets put down and not wait to the point when he's crabby. Duh! And you know something surprised me, he started sucking a pacifier again but just when he goes to sleep! This is surprising to me because he only liked a binky until he was 3-4 months old, and here he likes it again. Actually, when I think about it I should not be suprised. He now has found something to suck and soothe him that's not mommy, but good enough for him. It's just silly because it's now been a few weeks since starting the sleep training so I know he would sleep without it hehe. Whatever makes my precious boy happy. :)
So it's been about 6 days since I last posted (which never happens) so I probably have forgotten by now what things I wanted to write about. Silly "Mommy Brain!" To to the men out there, yes, it DOES exisit so please give your wives a break if they constantly forget things you told them seconds ago hahaha! My brain feels fried all the time, and I wish there was a reset button or something to make it go back to before being pregnant. That would be awesome!! So anyways, I am pretty excited for a date coming soon that I have been looking forward to for several months. That would be August 11! That's the date our lease is up on our rental agreement here so we have already started browsing and checking out other places. We are sticking to renting for a while but we knew when we moved into this place it was just a starter to get a roof over our head. And don't get me wrong, we were really blessed to find such a spacious apartment in a wonderful neighborhood for a decent price! I just REALLY want a dishwasher now that we have a baby! Lol I know its silly but handwashing is just NOT my forte :p I'm a little spoiled, I know. There are also a couple other amenities we'd like to add as well, like for example a garage, if we can find something with one that would be awesome. So pray for us that we find the perfect home for my family close to August! :D
Ta ta for now! *muah*
