Barnyard Fun

Whenever Brayden hears the word "go", he runs to the door and asks four questions:

1) Will there be "neighs" (horses) there?
2) If not neighs, will there be "baas" (sheep) there?
3) If not sheep, can we play basketball there? (using his own sign language for basketball)
4) If not basketball, can we swim there? (again using his own signs for swim)

Brayden continues to be fascinated with animals.  Imagine his excitement this past weekend when he had two opportunities to see farm animals up close.  He has his own vocabulary for every animal and has been talking about them all week.  He wasn't scared or timid at all.  We were very proud of him and predict he'll be feeding the baby goats at Deanna Rose in no time!

Here are some other Brayden tidbits and pictures from this month:

- Loves raisins, veggie straws and stickers
- Survived his first ear infection
- Becomes frustrated at times but is still easily distracted when gets upset or bored
- Weighed 29 pounds clothed at his recent well-child exam with the pediatrician
- Enjoyed visits from my mom, Tim's mom and Uncle Steven
- Says bye-bye to everyone and everything
