Braden shows his newly found speaking abilities. Adorable babbling! :-)

Notice how tickled Braden is just by looking at Zack. The dog need do nothing but stand there for Braden to laugh hysterically at him.

Braden loves prunes. On this day, he felt the need for a deeper connection with this container of prunes, and I obliged his desire.

Here's Braden just showing how cute he is on a daily basis... this was just after waking from a nap.

Braden saw a bird on the patio and was very interested, so I told him, "birdie." Then he tried over and over to say that. Totally adorable.

At lunch, Braden needed to tell me this long story. I love how he pauses to look at other things, and then resumes the story. It's also totally cute how he looks at me periodically and laughs while he's talking. What a cutie I have.

Mommy's big boy feeding himself a bottle!

Braden tries unsuccessfully to hitch a ride with the Roomba.

Here is Braden trying meat, namely turkey, for the first time. The taste and texture were totally weirding him out. Notice how he eats the prunes (which he loves) and then gets grossed out over the turkey.

Here is Braden getting to bang a pot for the first time. Tasting the drum is his signature move.

Braden is trying his best to escape his chair and gain access to his Jumperoo. Foiled again.

This is Braden with his new Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo. He LOVES it!

Braden absolutely adores talking to his little baby friend in the mirror. ;-) That other baby always returns his smiles and laughs!

Braden smiles at his mommy filming him in his play gym. :-)

This is Braden being cute at his favorite place... the changing table.

This is my big belly full of Braden! ;-) We just entered our 6th month.

This is the first glimpse of our sweet, little Wiggle Bean. :D
