Mr. Amazing

Brayden Boy is amazing. . . I know you guys know that already, but just in case anyone forgot just how special this boy is, I thought I would point it out! Here are some recent accomplishments --

Communication -- We have been using a few signs to try and introduce sign language to Brayden as an additional method of communication. For the past couple of months, we've used Eat, Momma, and Daddy on a regular basis. Brayden definitely recognizes the Eat sign, but he hasn't used it yet. This week we started using a few new signs, since he had not be recipricating, I thought maybe the ones that we had been using were just hard for him to create. We added Milk (I had previously not used this one since Brayden doesn't really drink milk, but we decided to add it in and use it for bottle), More, and Sleep. This morning, six days after we first introduced the new signs, Brayden signed that he wanted his bottle when we were hanging out together after waking up. Tonight, again, he signed that he was ready for his bottle at bedtime. Who-hoo!! My boy's a genius :)

Mobility -- Brayden still does not crawl or walk. He can, however, sit n' spin his way anywhere that he wants to go. The sit n' spin is a new move that Bray recently created. He turns around in a sitting position and moves across the floor. Also, last week, Brayden pulled up for the first time in his pack n' play.
Daddy had to lower the pack n' play and the crib right after these pics!! Yesterday, Brayden pulled up in his crib. Then today, he finally got the confidence to pull up on one of his toys. Once he did it, he was so pleased with himself that he did it over and over!! He actually pulled up and then sat down 12 times in a row before he got too tired to continue.
