Brayden is 2 months

Two months old and we are starting to figure things out. You have started making some new faces and show a lot more expression in your face. You were really good for Grandma while mommy went to school. You learned how to drink from a bottle so you wouldn't get hungry while I was away. Brayden continues to be very alert. He is very strong and can stand up if someone holds his hands. You take 3-4 naps a day and you sleep about 6 hours in a row. You are a very aggressive eating, you make growling noises while you are eating.Brayden took your first flight to Denver to see Dad. We left the day after Kira was born. Brayden did a great job on the plane...he slept almost the entire flight. Jared was very excited to see Brayden it had been almost 3 weeks. When we returned from our flight you got your first cold. There must have been too many germs on the plane.
Brayden still hates his car seat, so it is great when you fall asleep in it.
This was mommy and daddy's favorite outfit you have. We have you wear it to church and other special occasions we want you to look so adorable at.
You also learned how to suck on a pacifier. You didn't really like it at first, but you will suck on it a little each day.

Cousin Kira is born

On Sunday we all went to church. We could tell Hailey wasn't feeling well, and we had started to wonder if she was in labor. After we got home from church she continued to have contractions. Hailey and Cale didn't go to the hospital until about 10 o'clock that night. We stayed at home and awaited a phone call. At 3 in the morning I woke up to feed Brayden and realized that we hadn't heard from them yet. So I called up to the hospital to find out that Hailey had just received her epidural and she was dilated to a 6. Over the next couple of hours she started to dilated much quicker. I showered and got ready and around 5 headed for the hospital. We received a call that she was a 10 and they were going to start pushing shortly. We got to the room as soon as we could and I was able to leave Brayden with my dad in the waiting room while I was able to be in the room for the delivery. It was so amazing to see Kira coming into this world. Hailey and Cale were so excited to hold their little girl in there arms. She was very healthy and she had a very quiet cry.Holding Kira was so different than holding Brayden...he has gotten so big and she was so little. Kira weighted 8 pounds when she was born.

Grandma and Grandpa were excited to have grandchild number 2 here.
We put the kids together to have them meet for the first time. I am sure they will grow to be good friends.
