Three days before I met the LOVE of my life...
The first day we met, it truly was the most incredible feeling. I remember realizing at that moment how MUCH my parents truly loved me. The love between parent and child is magical.
One month later and already my heart had expanded. I never wanted to put Brayden down. I held him constantly and when visitors would come, I would ache to have him in my arms again.
Two months old and still the HAPPIEST baby I had ever met.
Three months old and I didn't think I could love this BUG anymore! We had our first airplane ride to see Auntie Pari and Sean in California. Uncle Chris came to see us too! Brayden saw the ocean for the first time and was all smiles with his toes in the sand.
Four months already! Brayden is trying to sit up on his own and loves to watch outside. His face lights up when Grammie and Papa come to cuddle with him. We are both so thankful for them.
Five month! AH! Please stop growing up so fast!! You LOVE to eat green beans and carrots. You LOVE when Grammie sings to you. You SMILE ALL the time!
SIX months... WOW! You are all ready a half a YEAR old. You love to be on your tummy and are trying SO hard to crawl! We get SOO excited when you do "SUPER BABY!"
Lucky SEVEN! Mom sure has her work cut out with you crawling all over the place! It is such a joy watching you grow Brayden. We went back to the beach for the 4th of July, this time you got to splash around in the ocean and TASTE the sand!
Eight months and you are already standing. You LOVE to cruise around the living room and are starting to babble SO much now!
NINE! I am so thankful for you. You are truly such a BIG blessing in my life. You have taken your first few steps and despite what Grandma has told me, I am totally encouraging it! Mommy taught you the song, "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!" Watching you clap along brings the BIGGEST smile to my face.
Love you SO much Brayden Beau.
Oh my, TEN months old! You are a full blown walker and definitely into everything! You get so HAPPY rearranging the kitchen chairs and LOVE to crawl into small spaces. Your face lights up when we go outside and you are completely amazed by ROCKS. The minute Uncle Beau comes home you are his little shadow, following him everywhere and wanting him to hold you constantly! You love being read to, your favorite story is
"Brown Bear, Brown Bear."
ELEVEN months old... I look at you and wonder where my little tiny SIX POUND baby went!! How is it possible that an entire year has already almost passed us by? Most of our days are spent outside as you LOVE to explore in the backyard. You love when Mommy dances with you and you LOVE to be inside the refrigerator. You laugh the hardest when we RIP off your socks and say
"STINKY FEET!"
Your giggle MELTS my heart.
The best year of my life has been with you.
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
as long as I'm living my baby you'll be.
