Back to Normal

Now that the holidays are over, it is back to normal life here in our household, or as normal as it can be. We have been busy with various things, not much that is awfully important though. Brayden is continuing to chat up a storm, not much can be understood, but he is getting a few more words to come out right. For now though its just fun to listen to him babble. We all three went to the shop the other day to work for the morning. It was fun to watch him play out there, usually when mama goes to the shop all play stops and he just wants held. This time, mama was staying for a while so it was ok to play. I tried to get some video of things, but it just doesn't work so well when it takes so much time to get the gloves dried off, then taken off and the camera picked up and turned on, well its just tooo many things to do to get the video started and by then the "cute" is over and done with. He now has two recepticle phones out there, those outlets are a wonderful toy. Roger was telling me that yest morn he was playing along and suddenly he RAN across the shop picked up that recepticle phone and started talking away walking back across the shop to where he was playing. After talking a bit he laid it down and went on with playing, wandered away from it a bit, and then again suddenly RAN across to the phone, like he heard it ring...picked it up and started talking away. He really enjoys the whole phone thing. Uncle Bobby called this morning and said he had one missed call on his phone and it said "Dawn's cell"...well three guess who was calling, it wasn't me, I was doing laundry and Roger was in the shop...so for family in our cell phone book, if you get a call...its probably Brayden. Amity got a call a few mornings ago while we were cooking breakfast too, all she heard was "can Daddy have the phone?"...so she called back and we let him talk to her for a bit. He just really loves the phone, course thats mostly all mama does with her day. :-) I am trying to quit my job though so there will be more time with our little man before he outgrows some things, like being rocked to sleep etc.
We had our visit for the first postplacement report yesterday. Was fun to go back and listen to how we had gone over things on the first visit right after we got home. Lots of things have changed in just 4 months. One of the things that is MOST changed is that when we got home he was waking up 3 or 4 times a night and now for a long time he has slept all through the night. We would forget these changes over time, with the post placement visits, we will be more aware of them.
Hope all is well out in our world of family and friends this week. Here we have a blizzard for the first time this winter. It is COLD out there, last time I looked the therm said 2.5 degrees with a wind, so the chill factor would be minus 20 or so I would guess. Until next time...take care.
