11 Months old already!

My little man is 11 months old already. He is the funniest little guy ever! He is walking and slightly running everywhere. He has such a lighthearted personality, laughing and playing all the time. He's got 6 little teeth that show when he scrunches his face at you. He'll do that when he doesn't get his way, he'll snort at you and scrunch his face, it's so cute! He LOVES to eat, I call him a goldfish-aholic because he can't get enough of those cheddar goldfish. When I walk over to the jar he'll laugh and get all excited. Him and Monty beg for food together. If I have something he wants a bite of he'll walk over, open his mouth wide (dropping the pacifier) and try and get me to feed it to him. He loves to play chase. Even if I'm not chasing him, he'll act like I'm trying to get him and shriek with delight. He's REALLY funny with Monty now. Whenever he sees him he'll yell "Ga!" and chase after him. In the mornings he'll walk over to his cage where he's sleeping, lean down and bite him on the head. Then he'll crawl into the cage where Monty is, and Monty will try to escape under the bed. Then Braydon will follow him under the bed to harass him some more.

He's really playful and gets really excited when Daddy comes around because he likes to wrestle him. He copies his Dad all the time, if Craig is fixing something, Braydon will get right in there with him and take the wrench from him. He also copies how his Dad plays with Monty, he will lay stomach down next to Monty and tuck his head down into him to get him to play with him.

He has a major personality and will voice whether he wants something or not. He runs around and laughs. He's a tough little dude too, he will fall or hurt himself and all he'll do is grunt and make a scrunchy face. We love him so much! He makes every day that much better!

Brady and cousin Dylan

Cousin Dylan came to visit the last week and a half and her and Braydon are so cute together. She is 6 months old and Bray is 10 1/2 months. Braydon is fully walking now and Dylan is sooo close to crawling. She will sit there on her play mat and Braydon will do his zombie walk over to her and pat her on the head like she's the dog. She usually has her pacifier connected to her shirt and Braydon will walk over and take it out of her mouth and put it in his and when he tries to walk away it will fall out because it's still attached to Dylan's shirt. When they are in the backseat together in their car seats they will sometimes hold hands which melts your heart. We took them to stroller strides a couple times and they loved it. It was so much fun having Wendy and Dylan live with us for a short bit. We got to bond with little Dylan, she is the cutest thing!

Halloween stroller strides

Stroller Strides was Halloween themed this last week. All the kids dressed up and we did a scavenger hunt. It was so much fun! Braydon has the best time hanging out with the other kids in the class. There's this girl Sophia that's the same age as him and they play together a lot. Her Mom Jessica is really nice, she's from Nor Cal too. He got in his first wrestling match with a little boy his age named SCott. It was hilarious! They wer laughing and wrestling with each other. I think Bray won ;)

Halloween

Braydon LOVED his first Halloween! Grandma Schwarz made him the most beautiful Lion costume! It kind of freaked him out at first but then he got used to it. Our neighborhood is the best neighborhood for Halloween. There are a ton of little kids that live on the block. We went to a block party up the street where they blocked off the streets and all the neighbors gathered and the kids played. Braydon is super social. We let him out of his stroller and he took off after the little kids, crawling and yelling with them. He played with a 3 year old boy for a while. He had the best time! We had a bunch of trick or treaters and ever time the doorbell would ring Bray would crawl to the door yelping with joy and when the door would open he'd crawl out the door and take off after the kids in costume. So funny! I made corpseloaf and ghost mashed potatoes for dinner. I think Halloween may be Braydon's favorite holiday.
