Happy Easter! Part 2

So Sunday morning, we woke up to find that the Easter Bunny visited Brayden! He must have known that Brayden doesn't eat candy yet, so he brought some super cool toys.

Checking out part of the goods (with some Mum Mum on his face)

It passed it the taste test..

Much easier to push while kneeling than standing.  :)

The ONLY still shot that he gave me the entire time.  Such a wiggle worm these days!

After checking out the goodies, we headed to church which was really great.  I really enjoyed the opportunity to really reflect on the reason why we celebrate Easter.

Later that afternoon, we went to MawMaw and PawPaw Richardson's for dinner and another Easter Egg Hunt!  It was really great to spend time with Brandon's family.  We love them so much!

Digging for that Easter Egg!

Found it!

Brayden really caught on quick to look for the colorful eggs and to put them in the basket. Super cute to watch! :)

Brayden and Mimi Kim!

Woooah Daddy!

Happy Easter! Part 1

Easter was really great this year!  We started it off with an Easter Egg Hunt at Brian and Sheri's house in Zachary on Saturday.  It was really a lot of fun.  They grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, and had lots of games for the kids.  Brayden loved his 1st Easter Egg Hunt and hanging out with family.  Here are a few pics from the day.

Loves bath time!!

Juicy Lips

Am I just crazy or are these some of the most smoochable lips ever??

Sacked Out

I'm usually the one who takes Brayden out in the hall during Sacrament to help him drift off into his morning nap, but this past Sunday I had to give a talk.  So Brandon was on baby duty!  After Sacrament meeting was over, I walked out into the hall and this is what I found!  Lol!!  :)  Love my two boys!

Where's the time go?

So Brayden is 8 months!  He's growing like a weed and getting really active.  He's up and down and all around the house.  He can crawl really quickly and is very good at pulling up on furniture and people.  His fine motor skills are getting much better as well and he's learning to use his thumb and index finger to put ALL kinds of things into his little mouth (in which he has 2 very sharp teeth)!  I prefer it to be food, but he seems to find every microscopic item... goodness!  He's really starting to watch us when we talk and has started saying "Da da."  He doesn't know what it means yet... but he's saying it!  :)

He has started feeding Blaze!  I think it's hilarious and don't know if that's something he thought of on his own or if he has seen us do it and decided to try it out.  He's also "hulking out" these days.  He usually starts it when I'm not fast enough with the food, but will also compete with anyone who wants to rise to the challenge!


A few things Brayden loves:

His toys... and uses them to help him stand up!

While he likes his toys... he LOVES empty juice bottles.  He'll flick them with his hand around the kitchen.

Harassing Blaze.  You can see Blaze is pretty mad about it...

Caught!

Loves the theme song to "The Office"

Brushing his 2 little teeth!  Is it just me or does he seem too big in this pic??

He is such a joy, and Brandon and I feel so blessed to have him in our family!  He's truly the best thing that's happened to us!

I could just smooch those little lips all day!!

Oh, one last thing!  He's figured out the drawers!!  Uh oh!  Time to "Brayden proof" the house.

Hmmm... what's in here...

Oh hi mom!  I was just... looking.  :)
