New favorite game

Brayden has a new favorite game he likes to play and we play it probably 4 -5 times a day.
This is how he starts to get me to play..

Dadda howfs?.......Noooooo

This is my que to start in
Me: Do you want to go to Daddy's house
Brayden: Noooooo
Me:Do you want to go to Mommy's house
Brayden: Noooooo
Me:Brayden's house
Brayden: Noooooo
Me:Whitney's house
Brayden: Baby howfs?!?! Noooooo
Me:Do you want to go to Bailey's house
Brayden: nods his head

He sure does love that Bailey bugg

I love you

Brayden is now 2 1/2 and still is very limited on the words he is saying. It gets very frustrating as a parent and for him as well. He understands everything we say, just can't vocalize it. I have started to do more signs with him and he picks them up really fast, usually within a times of showing him.
I showed him how to say 'I Love You'. While he is trying to say it he concentrates so hard on how to move his hands. Sometimes all he gets is "I --- YOU!" and he always gives me the biggest hug when he is done.

What an angel

Sleep time

Brayden has never NEVER sleep with us. He doesn't even sleep very well in the same room as us. While he was in the hospital this Aug. I slept in the bed with him and when we got home he wouldn't go to bed without someone with him. I've never watched him sleep so much.... He is so precious while he sleeps.
He starts by using his innocent eyes and beautiful smile to get my to lay next to him. He pats on the pillow until my head is firmly on the pillow. Before I leave his room at night, I kiss him on the forehead and tell him good night. While I was sleeping next to him right before he would fall asleep he would lean over and kiss my forehead.... talk about melting my heart.
He is a creature of habit. His 'lightin' McQueen pillow has to be facing down and he keep turning his pillow and squirming around until his head fits perfectly in the dent of his pillow. I started to notice that he lays in bed and looks around for quit awhile until he gets sleepy. Then he will turn to his side grab his blanket and his cup of juice cuddle up with them and fall asleep.

He is sleeping by himself again, but I find myself sneaking in to watch him sleep. Theses days that is the only time I see the perfect side of him.

Who starts the debates in our house?

For the past few weeks we have noticed Whitney's personality coming out. She is becoming a stubborn, dramatic, little girl. Brayden likes to have her sit next to him. When they sit next to each other while watching cartoons, Whitney is the one to start the pestering. She will grab at his nose, mouth, or shirt and start to laugh. Brayden gets mad and she laughs harder....
What a cute little bugger.
