Life with a toddler...

In the almost week that we've had Brayden, there are a few things to be noted:

1.  The boy LOVES to be outside! As soon a you get him out of his crib from nap or bed he points to the door, wanting to go out.
2.  We have to hid his shoes because as soon as he sees them he wants to put them on and go outside.
3.  He loves to stroll in his stroller.  The boy would sit there and be completely content for hours at a time.
4.  We have to hid his stroller because as soon as he sees it he wants to sit in it and go outside.
5.  We will be taking him camping as soon as it cools down- he'll probably be the happiest kid in the world- wearing his shoes, sitting in his stroller and being outside.

6.  He loves to eat- oatmeal, waffles, watermelon, applesauce, yogurt, fruit snacks, goldfish,etc. If you give it to him, he'll eat it!
7.  He loves to feed himself.
8.  He is usually wearing more than he eats.  This morning I found oatmeal in his bellybutton- how did that happen?!?!
9.  If there is something he doesn't like (or doesn't want anymore), he will throw it at you, the wall or the floor- I was standing too close on Saturday and got a good showering of mac&cheese!

10. He usually doesn't like to be held- except for when he's tired or hungry.
11. The only time he wants me to hold him is when I'm fixing dinner- which means he's usually hungry.

12.  He's a great sleeper, even with boring seminary books!

13.  He is such a goof-ball- sometimes he'll just be standing there and start laughing at himself.  Makes you wonder whats going on in his little brain!

14. Our life is not the same- it's full diapers, flying food, YoGabaGaba, sippy cups, diaper bags, carseats, strollers, too many pacies, goldfish squished into the carpet, toys, and saying "no, no Brayden"- but it's good and we're having a ball!
