Watch me grow :)

This is NOT one of my favorite outfits, but it just so happens that we have a chronicle of Brayden's growth in it. There are actually 2 sleepers -- one that was 0-3 months that we gave him in Guatemala and one that he has at home that is 3-6 months.

The first pic was taken Nov 25 when Brayden was 3 months old. This was only the 2nd day that we visited him, and he got SOOO mad at us when we changed his clothes before he went back to the foster mother. I was worried that she would think that he cried like this the entire time that we had him and that she wouldn't want to bring him back to us the next day!!!

The second pic is the last one that we got before we went for our pick up trip. We got it at the beginning of Feb, so Brayden was probably around 5.5 months when it was taken. We loved this pic, because it showed how much he had grown. He was finally "busting out" of the 0-3 months clothes!!

This last pic was taken this morning. While I was feeding Brayden his morning bottle, I realized that I needed to get a pic in this outfit quick b/c he probably won't wear it anymore. He is so cute, but he hates those little bears on his feet. He is much too serious a boy to wear "baby stuff" like this!!

I hope you like this chronicle of growth -- I'm planning on doing a comb-body comparison soon, so we can see how chubby his arms and legs have gotten :)
