Hi Grandmas!

Here are lots of pictures of me so you can see how much I'm changing.

Bracken is growing! He's 13 pounds now and is looking like he sure gets enough to eat. He takes 3 to 4 one hour naps every day which is when I get things done.

He loves being outside. He'll just lay on his blanket with his arms above his head and feel the sunshine and the wind. If he's fussy he cheers up when we walk out the front door. We go on at least three walks a day, usually more.

You can see how much weight he's been gaining. He looks like a tubbo there, with a double chin and everything.

Just woke up! This is one of my favorite times of the day. He'll sit and coo and wiggle and "talk" to us for 30-45 minutes.

Here is Bracken with his jumper. He really likes the zebra toy that's higher up on the strap and will sit and just look at it for minutes at a time. I was so excited for him to get the jumper, and so when he just cried the first time I put him in it I was pretty sad. But now he likes being in there for a few minutes at a time. He likes being upright so he can see everything, he just doesn't like that I don't stay right by him when he's in it.

Bracken fell asleep on our walk. He's so precious! I used to just leave him in his carseat so he'd keep napping, but I've found if he's in his carseat but we're not moving he wakes up. So I have to take him out of his carseat and put him in his bassinet so he'll get a good nap.

Playing with Daddy before Brian goes to work. Bracken is always happier when he is upright so he can see what is going on. He loves playing with Brian. Playing "beehive," "garbage truck," and getting roared at. He thinks Brian is the best.

Our couch has a nice little nook in between the cushions that holds Bracken so he can sit up and see what's going on.

Uncle Ryan (with his i-pod, gotta love it!)

Uncle Tyson. Tyson is so attentive and cute with Bracken. During the three days we were there before we flew to Minneapolis, Tyson hardly let Bracken out of his sight.

Bracken has discovered his hands and is often either holding them both tightly in front of him, or trying to devour them.
