Healthy and Happy

So the boys are finally feeling like themselves again. Eating, playing and sleeping habits are mostly back to normal! Thank goodness! Brooklynd got his 7 month pictures taken over the weekend, can you believe he is 7 months old already and as my mom pointed out this morning in 4 or 5 months he could be walking...crazy! I am not so sure how close to crawling or walking he will be at that time since he is not yet sitting up on his own. He does sit when I put him in a sitting position, but can't get himself there. He is happy as ever and so content. He chews on everything and tries as hard as he can to get any and everything including my hand in his mouth. He doesn't have any teeth yet but with the amount of drool that comes along with the chewing it looks to be in the near future. He is continuing to eat & enjoy many different baby foods and rice cereal. He absolutely loves food just as his brother did/does! Braeden is also back to feeling & acting like himself and has been giving me & his dad some challenges. He is stubborn as the day is long, adorable as a button, loving and very, very determined. He is so smart, as I am sure every mother thinks (but he really is)! He doesn't like the word no, when it is used towards him, but uses it himself often. His vocabulary grows daily and his repeating skills have developed greatly too. It is amazing that my sweet baby is going to be 2 years old in a month. He is still helpful to his brother but does lash out at him sometimes unknowingly at the beginning of his tantrums. He has been experiencing "time out" as have we. I hope I keep my sanity when Brooklynd turns 2 and Braeden is 3 because everyone I've talked to in recent months tells me 3 is harder than 2...I can't imagine. Thankfully the good times and good behavior outweigh the bad on an almost daily basis and make me very thankful to have both boys as my own...but sometimes it's trying and I have to remember that Braeden comes by all of his good & bad traits honestly! :-) Looks like the summer plans have slowed down for us, Darrens family will be coming to visit for Braedens birthday which will be fun. We hope everyone is well!
