My Favorite Picture!

This is my current favorite picture. I love Brayden's little smiles. I love to look at this picture when he is being ornery...which he has been having his days of...it reminds me that he is worth it all!

Our little handsome...

Emily enjoys dressing Brayden up since Jason won't let her dress him. We put Brayden in his little suit yesterday for church and he was a huge hit! We had people taking pictures of him and everything. Brayden and Emily also love having Jason at home more. Jason and Brayden like to play togeather and are so cute when they do!

Brayden is working on discovering his hands. Grandma Sessions bought Brayden a kick and play set but Brayden showed no interest in it until recently. We then modified it and added the pooh stuff. I love this picture. Brayden likes to sit and grab the tails! Cute!

LIKE FATHER...LIKE SON...

So, Jason put his sunglasses on Brayden the other day. He got so excited about it. This is Brayden looking "so cool"! What a cutie!

Smiles and Giggles

Were finally here! Brayden is now Smiling and Giggling! Yay! We are so excited. It has been somewhat frustrating waiting for Brayden to get to his developmental milestones because he was so premature. (For those that don't know...a premature baby's growth and development is measured not by birth age but by "adjusted age" which is the age since the original due date. Brayden's original due date was May 29th. ) It has been hard to see other babies who are Brayden's birth age reach these milestones before us and long since surpass us. I know, I know...every baby has it's own timeline...but I'm an impatient first-time mom. What can I say! Even though the smiles and giggles have to be prompted we are making lots of progress! Brayden is also making progress in other areas as well...he is over 11 lbs and 22 inches long. That means he has grown 5 inches in 3 months and gained almost 8 pounds! Were still working on getting Brayden to sleep at night. On average, he sleeps for about 2 hours and then wakes up to eat. On good nights, he goes 3 hours. On bad nights, like last night, he wakes up every 30 minutes and then is up for 30 minutes. This pretty much creates a sleepless night for mom (if it's during the week ) or dad (if it's the weekend). We are both very much looking forward to Brayden having his own room once we get a house here in CA and then getting him to sleep through the night. For all those who know Emily well, this has been a big challenge since she loves her sleep so much. The sacrifices you make for you're child....but they are all worth it! We couldn't be happier as parents and as a family.

4th of July Festivites!

Sessions Family July 2008
This picture cracks me up. Brayden looks so GQ with his little man pose and his hand in his pocket.
Dad and Brayden!

This 4th of July was our first as a family. We had a great time together. We went up to Oakdale, California to some family friends for a BBQ and then we did fireworks that night. Amazing how much things can change in a year...last 4th of July, Jason was in Utah visiting Emily and we were registering at stores for our wedding. (Registering wasn't as fun as we had both dreamed...this year was way better!) Hope everyone had a great Holiday!

BUMBO FUN!

A couple of days ago my sister-in-law Katie let us use her Bumbo chair. It was so cute to see Brayden in it. I had to laugh at all the things he did/does in it.

He sits and plays in it...
He cries in it...
and this one really gets me...he sleeps in it. How he falls asleep like that who knows.

He's growing up so fast! He is 3 months old now! Yay!
