Braydon is just changing every day. He now has three teeth on top and two on the bottom. He is also scooting all over the place. I can't take my eyes off of him...one second he is in front of me and the next he is on the other side of the room. We had Chris's command children's party last week and Braydon got to meet Santa for the first time. I thought he would be afraid because I hated Santa for a long time, but not this little guy. I placed him on Santa's lap and he tried to eat his beard! That child will try to put anything in his mouth. We put our tree up after Thanksgiving and Braydon wasn't very interested in it, he does like the lights but doesn't try to grab the tree or anything (which is great). However, the other morning my little scooter kept pulling himself over to the gifts and trying to open them. Every time I picked him up and placed him on the other side of the room he would find his way back. He eventually managed to open one of the presents slightly and take another out of a gift bag, good thing they were for him and not Chris or I.
This past Thursday was the command party for adults. We left Braydon with a babysitter for only the second time in his life. I was nervous about it, but figured he would be alright. Well I was wrong. The babysitter came over at 5pm and we showed her around and Braydon was smiling at her. We left at 5:15pm and she was giving him a bottle. We told her he gets dinner at 6pm and then goes to sleep at 8pm so she didn't have very long to really keep him entertained. We got home at 12pm and asked her how everything went. Well apparently he cried for over an hour after we left and nothing she did calmed him down. She finally put him in his crib around 6pm and he went to sleep and slept all night. He did wake up after she left and we where home for a while. We changed him, gave him a bottle and he went right back to sleep. I guess my guy had a little bit of separation anxiety. We will have to get him used to Mom and Dad going out once in a while or else we will really have trouble on our hands when he gets older.
That's all to report now. Chris has his birthday next week and I finish my law class so I'll be able to update more often once that's over. Enjoy the photos!
Merry Christmas to everyone! It feels weird to be celebrating in another country and also for the fact that the weather is so great here, yesterday I had flip flops on and a short sleeve shirt while driving with the windows down. Braydon has already gotten four presents and a stocking and still has a ton to open as well as another stocking. That little boy is so spoiled but we all just love to spoil him.
