Brayden is the funniest kid. He makes the weirdest grunting noises that I hope to one day be able to record because there is NO way to describe how they sound. They definitely make us laugh though! He is also the biggest crier out of all our kids, and when he's mad, he does NOT let up. However, he is also really sweet and definitely knows his mom. Yes, I realize a lot of it is because I'm the food source, but I still love how he usually quiets down/looks at me instantly when I pick him up from his bouncer or when Ross hands him to me. I love knowing he depends on my for everything.
Christmas was great. I always dreaded having a December baby, but I've decided it is SO special. I found myself reflecting upon the birth and life of our Savior constantly and more deeply during the weeks leading up to Christmas, and I felt a connection with his dear, sweet mother like I've never felt before. Having a baby is always a blessing, but I feel I was blessed even more than usual to have one during this special season.
Below are some family pictures we had taken the day after Christmas. (It was my brother's gift to my mom.) I admit I wasn't thrilled to be in pictures with so much baby weight left to lose, but I'm glad we have them. It's a nice memory. Plus, they didn't cost me a penny! Thanks Ty :-)
