Pictures, Doctor's visit, and visits from friends!

Last night we had pictures taken. Brayden was adorable!! He worse his Christmas sweater, cordoureys and blue canvas shoes. There were also some naked pictures! He was serious most of the time but we got a few smiles out of him. I will post the link to the site when they come in!



Today we went to the doctor for his 6 month checkup! WEighing in at 19.5 pounds he is in the 80% for weight, 26 1.4 inches he is 50% for height, and he is head is in the 50%. He is growing and learning right on target. They checked his ears and his right ear is still infected! I am a little frustrated that they didn't check it sooner, but he was put on another round of antibiotic for that. Probably why he is still waking up every night. He had four shots today!! It was terrible! And a finger prick. I went by myself since Drew had to work and I couldn't scrounge up any volunteers to come with me. He screamed and had real tears with the shots (they weren't as fast as normal) and then I had to get his clothes on (which he hates.) I am glad it is over. He goes back in two weeks for an ear checkup, a month for another round of flu shot, and in March for the nine month checkup!



Today Krisi, Trevor, and Trent (Brayden's sitter and boys) came over to exchange presents. Brayden got some cubes that do all different things, a first christmas bupr cloth and bib, some shape blocks, and a car/walker. This was his first time opening gifts and he did a great job! The boys loved getting their UK sweatshirts with their names on the back!

Blake, Lauren and Caleb also came down for a visit Monday. They arrived around 3, and stayed till about 11. The boys played, napped, we had dinner, and once the babies were in bed played games. Caleb is getting so big (will be one next month!) and is crawling and teetering on things all over the place. He was so good, and loved exploring and playing with things in our house. It was so good to see them.

Brayden had a not so fun night being very fussy all evening, and then up all night long. I think his four shots and ear have done him in. We were up every hour with him. Drew and I are hoping for some silent nights this Christmas.....please??
