4 months old

I know this is a little late but I was out of town last week.

On the 16th Brayden officially turned 4 months old. I can't believe he is that old already. He is growing so fast and getting so big. Brandon and Carrie made the comment the other day that he doesn't look like the same baby. I went back and looked at some older pictures and they are right. He has gotten so fat and so long that he looks completely different from the baby that came home from the NICU two months ago. The last weight check for him which was last week he was weighing in at 10lb 9.9oz. He continues to gain about an 1.5 oz a day. Which would put him around 11 lbs 4oz today.

Payton is still infatuated with his little brother, I figured the new would have worn off by now bu he still loves him and wants to play with him all the time. Brayden is just completely fascinated with Payton (and the painting we have on the wall). 90% of the time if Brayden is mad and screaming Payton can walk int he room and Brayden will stop and stare at him and just start laughing. Payton can make him happy when nothing else will. I guess its a brother thing. The other day Brayden was fussing and Payton walked up and started telling him it was okay, he was there, don't cry. the funny thing was Brayden turned and looked at Payton and changed his fuss to more of a telling off on Miranda and I. He was looking at Payton and kind of cooing/growling like he was complaining to Payton that we weren't making him happy. It was so funny.

Yesterday Payton was in gym class and they had to swing on the rope into the foam pit. the first time he went to gym he was too scared to do it. This time he climbed right up there grabbed the rope and swung into the pit. He told me afterwards that he wanted Brayden to be proud of him. He always says he wants to be a big boy so that Brayden will be proud. More to come soon.
