SOOOO much better!

Our "little" (okay BIG) guy is doing SOOOO much better!
He still has rough tummy times and cries, but it is so much better than it was! The stretching of the muscles to release gas, along with his digestive system improving with time, has helped so much! We have an appointment scheduled with the feeding specialist on August 13th to see if she can help with the swallowing air problem. I appreciate all the encouragement and prayers you all have given us! Calling to check on Brady, the emails, texts, etc. have meant so much to us!
This isn't the best shot of Brady, but it is proof that he fell asleep in the swing! He is now used to us carrying him around upright all the time. But, he has now fallen asleep TWICE in the swing. I know this doesn't seem like a big deal, but when I'm the one walking around with this 15 pound boy, trying to get him to go to sleep...this is HUGE! SO excited for the small things in life. =)

Auntie Jenn Jenn and Brady
(I have a ton of pictures to post from my sister's visit)
My friend, Jessica, bought these cute shirts for the boys. Jayden is such a good Big Brother!
He was telling Brady, "Mama take our picture, okay Brady?"
Thanks for the shirts Jess...we love them!Daddy and Brady
Jayden's making sure he gets in on the conversation.
I was looking back on when Jayden was born and I had a ton of pictures! Most of Brady's first 2 months of life was spent in my arms, crying, so we don't have as many. But...now that he smiles and has the cutest personality I am making up for it! LOVE IT!
I love to dress the boys in matching outfits! They are just too cute!
Jayden is growing up so fast! He loves books, loves to play with trucks, tractors, bugs, and cars. We have so much fun with him. He now plays using his imagination and it cracks us up! He's always one step ahead of us. Jamie was reading a story to him and Jayden told him, "Stop Dada! You have to point to the words!" (that's my boy!) He talks non-stop and loves the Christian Song, "I am Free!" He calls it "Dada's song" because it sounds a little "rockish". When we get in the car, he requests, "Dada's song" and pretends to play the drums. We listen to it over and over and over!
We love you Big Boy!Brady also is starting to enjoy riding in the car!
(Maybe he likes "Dada's song" too? Ha)
We love weekends when Dada is home! Jayden is reading a story to Dada and Brady. (He retells the story by looking at the pictures)
Playing
We went to dinner one night and Jamie squatted down to show Jayden something. So...what did Jayden do? He squatted down too! I was so thankful to have my camera with me. Too cute! He likes to do everything Dada does.
Jayden gets to stay up late when Dada has a softball game.
Jayden waits for him to get home and runs to give him a big hug!

I am so very thankful for my boys!
