Brayden's Friday Night Sleepover!

It's been an awesome weekend and it's still not over! I couldn't wait to get home from work on Friday... as Brayden was waiting for me to come play! David and Holly brought him down so we could have our first sleepover! And we had a blast!

He was so much fun.... When I first got home on Friday, Holly and I ran down to the corner Mexican restaurant (you know we can't break our Friday night tradition) and we brought home some burritos and tostados and enchiladas... after dinner and a short visit the kids left to enjoy their evening alone.... while Jerry and I tickled and laughed and cooed and babbled... oh with  Brayden, not with each other!! 

Brayden has started teething.. nothing's broke through yet so he constantly tries to have his fingers in his mouth now... our new game was "how many fingers can I cram in my mouth".... but overall he was really good handling this first experience. But it didn't stop us from laughing and loving and hugging and kissing!

I only took 71 pictures in 24 hours... so here's a few of my favorites...

Here's David holding Brayden while we were eating dinner...
notice the finger in the mouth (oh yes and don't ya love the outfit??)


He loves his teething rattle...


and later.. more fingers in the mouth....


I love kissing him under his chubby cheeks.. he's just giggling so much here...


He really wasn't hanging upside down here..
I'm just having trouble getting my pictures to flip... sorry
but notice his eyelashes... they are sooo long!



Ut oh... is that a yawn I detect???... can't fight it ....



 Now this is the amazing part... usually he's still waking up during the middle of the night so I was prepared for a 2am feeding... but he was just too content I think... as I put him to bed at 9:30 pm and he didn't wake up until 5am... awesome!!!





 Saturday morning we played toys... read peek-a-boo books and I Love You So Much... and even watched Baby Einstein.. now Brayden is so smart... in fact while he was playing with his toys on his floor gym, he rolled over!

He's been working on it all week, David said he gets half way... but he actually did it several times on Saturday... so I captured it on film.... (do they still use that phrase with digital cameras?)

Step 1  Laying on his back playing toys....


Step 2 Half way there on his side....
of course the fingers are still in the mouth...


Step 3 Ker-plop! He made it.. over to his tummy!!
Get the Baby Book out and record that one!



One last shot before we hit the road to head back home..
he was just plum tuckered out after
such a fun sleepover at the Reed Ranch!



I love you this much... as far to the moon... and back!
