dear brayden-
today marks your half birthday. it’s surreal how fast the first part of your life has sped on by. day by day you become more alert, grabbing for more of your surroundings, talking, laughing and melting my heart more with each day. you follow everything your sister does and within a few months you will be chasing her around, while i want you to slow down i cannot wait to see you play with one another. at dinner time each night, while you sit in your bumbo, your sister and i play the “ahhhh-dude” phrase game. this saying, no matter what time of day we do this we get the sweetest deep bellied laughs. your sister loves playing peek-a-boo with you and often she will lay with you on your play mat to just hangout. you are quite the active roller, back scooter, and love the flying/swimming position. you have all the crawling movements down you just need to put them all together and then you’ll be off. since last month you have slept in your crib every night from roughly eight to ten hours. there are nights where you wake for your pacifier or for a few ounces of formula but you go right back out. you still take three naps during the day, which is amazing. i am happy to have two children that love sleep as much as i do. you are our true blessing.
happy half year sweet boy. the next six months are going to be a fun ride as you discover your motor skills and everything else this world has to offer you.

- we’re going through a two pound tub of formula each week. i don’t understand how you don’t weigh more.

you melt my soul.
