Baby to Pre-toddler!

Brayden Timothy continues to surprise me- he's so different compared to Ruthie and it's fascinating to watch him learn and grow. Ruthie tackled each new milestone with confidence and never looked back. When she crawled- she crawled to a sturdy object to pull herself up and walk around objects... Brayden on the otherhand- well ...

On the day before Brayden turned 10 months old- he declared "I can crawl". He crawled slowly towards his Thomas train a few inches at a time! He seriously moves slower than a snail!! It's absolutely adorable to watch him raise his arms like a cat and slowly crawl across the floor. In these few weeks since his first movements- he's getting across the floor a little quicker. He also decided that he'd show off and pull himself up into a standing position. Ah!! He pulled himself up and his wobbly legs barely kept him up before he fell over in his crib. It's hilarious to watch him- he is so proud of himself- but he gives his mommy some scares.

So crawling, standing... that's plenty of new things- but wait!! There's more!! My little man has the most adorable two bottom teeth! I remember so clearly now the day Ruthie popped her little bottom teeth. They have very similar smiles. I can't believe how different he looks with these little teeth. He didn't show any signs of teething (like his sister did!!) One day- I looked and I saw these little white buds getting ready to break through- a day or two later- there they were! 

Congratulations little man!! I cannot believe you are crawling and standing on those cute chubby legs of yours. I love you so much!!
