Big Milestones

Brayden is having a period of major development.  Everyday seems to bring a milestone.  We love seeing Brayden's personality and skills come to life.

Tim and Brayden worked diligently on clapping and waving every evening for months.  Now Brayden has successfully mastered both within a four day span.  Last Friday he started clapping and this past Monday he started waving!  Brayden doesn't know which skill he wants to show off more in the morning so he starts both waving and clapping almost as soon as he wakes up.  He is usually doing one or the other while walking around and talking loudly, making for a very cute and energetic boy in the morning.

Brayden is becoming a more confident walker everyday, even mastering walking in his giraffe shoes.  Tonight he gave me a huge reason to smile as he practically ran down the hall to give me a hug after Tim picked him up from the church's childcare room.  What a sweet boy!
