Brayden's Latest Tricks

I can't say I am proud of these latest tricks but I felt they were worthy of sharing with all of you. These just reaffirm my feeling that my baby is now a little boy...something I've been sad about lately. I bought some digital scrapbook software (Memory Mixer) on our latest Apple store visit (Brian got to play with an iphone), and seeing pictures of Brayden when he was first born make me realize how BIG he is now! (And just to put everyone's minds at rest, we're not planning on adding to our family just yet....much to my Mom's dismay!)


This is mostly Brian's doing but Brayden thinks it's hilarious to walk around the house with his shirt like that!

He has learned to put his crocs on all my himself! Even more impressive is that only once have they been on the wrong feet! He loves to have them on all the time, and this night, after getting his pjs on, he felt he needed his shoes too! (Just to complete the outfit, right?)

He has learned to make such a mess of his food! This was one day when I gave him a piece of licorice and set him on the coffee table. (That's where I put him so that he'll stay put!)

This is the one I was the most upset by! He has learned to climb out of his exersaucer! I guess he'll do anything for cheerios! Because of this I now have no way to confine him long enough to take a shower! So now it's either waiting for him to take a nap, trying to wake up before he does, or just bring him in with me! (Has anyone else experienced this? I was shocked!)

He's now into trying to take his clothes off by himself...maybe this is just the start of the "doing it by myself" phase?

This is some of the gear Brian travels with and he happened to leave his laptop bag open one day and we found Brayden like this! He was so proud of himself until he couldn't get out!

So besides putting his own shoes on, we often find him wearing OUR shoes around the house!
