It feels likes its been forever since my last post, 2 kids, and a messy house sure do keep me busy... Brayden is already 2 months, I can't believe it it going by so fast. He had his shots on Wednesday and of course like every other baby he screamed but only for a few minutes than fell asleep. Chloe's already all about seeing her little brother tortured, before we left we explained to Chloe what was going to happen to Brayden, while we were waiting she jumps up and says, "I can't wait to see Brayden get his shots, I'm so excited!" silly girl, I guess she doesn't remember hers, maybe Brayden will laugh at her next time her shots come around. ;) Oh and when he was getting weighed and measured he was flirting with the nurse, he was smiling and cooing at her, she loved it, she had to hold him for a while before she left, then came back in and told the shot nurses, that he was the cutest baby ever! (he weighed 10lbs 10ounces and was 22". only in the 25th percentile so I guess he's a shrimp compared to Chloe, she was always in the 90th)

Chloe still loves having him around, she's always right up in his face trying to make him smile, and when he cries she gets mad and says "mom, he just cried right in my face!" He's such a smiley baby and LOVES being talked to! he's finally starting to lay in his swing for a while and in his bouncer so I can get some cleaning in now. He's been sleeping so good at night, the other night I put him down about 10 and he slept until 5!! nice huh? I dont' think I have any new photos yet, but I'll get some up soon.

just pictures

super fun adventure part 2

While driving up to Mesa Falls we saw a sign for Cave Falls, we had never heard of those falls before and thought maybe on the way home we'd stop by and see those, well...we ended up in Wyoming, we didn't think they were that far, it was really only 20 miles but half of it was a washboard dirt road that got smaller and smaller, but it was pretty. Once we got to Cave Falls Chloe loved it more than Mesa mostly because she was able to throw rocks in the water and see a couple guys fishing, she even planted a "garden" she said it was not vegetables just plants it was really cute.she did not want to go home, but the sun was going down and she was getting really tired. Hopefully we can go back again before the weather gets to cold. **Sorry the pictures don't all have descriptions, but I'm outta time to finish oh well you can see how pretty it was though**

our super fun adventure...part 1

Last Saturday we decided to take Chloe to Mesa Falls, she loves waterfalls or fountains and thought she would love to see the giant waterfalls,and have some fun with us focusing more on her than Brayden... she had a blast we went to the lower falls first we had never seen that one before, it was pretty far away and Chloe was more interested in the grasshopper she found on the path. so we went to the upper falls where she had alot more fun being closer to the falls and climbing up all the stairs.

he can hear!!

Yay! Brayden passed his hearing test!!! it was taken back on the 2nd and I've forgotten to post. He only failed on his left side, they told me the first time he failed that it happens alot with c-section babies cause alot of the fluid doesn't come out and they'll test him another time and he'll probably pass...well they test him and tell me he failed again and they referr me to a hearing specialist I was nervous thinking he was going to be partially deaf but when we got to the specialist he passed! I had to take a picture of him being tested, mainly so when he's older and taking after his sister(by ignoring us ) I can tell him I know for a fact he can hear :) I was thinking the whole procedure was going to be some form of torture for him but it really wasn't it just kinda looks like it. He slept the entire time (about 45 minutes) and only cried when he pulled the sensor thing off behind his ear then fell right back asleep again.

I also finally got a picture of Brayden sucking his thumb, I got it last night while he was going to sleep, I took it with my camera phone and the flash is really bright so he's squinting, but I think it's cute :)

I got a few minutes so I'll post some pictures of the cutest kids ever :) we have our little monkey sleeping peacefully and then the two hanging out on the princess couch and then Chloe feeding "her baby" a bottle, she really wanted to feed him so I let Chloe help me make a bottle and then she fed him, she only did for a minute or so then she was done, she had fun though and really felt like she was helping out.

Well 2 weeks have gone by and it has gone so fast! the recovery with this c-section was alot better this time,not that the first was bad but I feel like I can do more than before, which is good cause with another kid you kinda have to. Brayden is doing good, we've been to the doctor a few times now, we have to keep getting his weight checked every week cause he lost just over a pound in a week, but slowly he's gaining it back. Chloe is still loving being a big sister, she just doens't like it when he cries, she'll say "shhhhh Brayden I can't hear anything, be queit!" he'll keep crying of course and she'll say " arg, mom he won't stop crying, maybe you should change is diaper/feed him" she'll switch back and forth about what he needs,it's cute. I don't have any pictures to post right now I'm at Apex with Vince watching the UFC fight, Chloe is coloring on the white boards and Brayden is sleeping so I thought I'd write a quick update. I'll post some picutes if I get a chance tomorrow.
