Melanie & Brayden
So our friends Leisly and JP have a little girl named Melanie. She is ten months old and they are considered cousins. About two weeks ago I had Melanie for a few hours. Lets just say, the pictures speak for themselves. (And yes, this was before the haircut). She is so infatuated with the fact that he can do 'all this cool stuff' like walking and climbing. And he likes how she just sits and watches. He tries to make her laugh- its cute. When it came to sharing, Brayden couldn't be happier to take EVERYTHING away from her. I had to keep telling him, "no-no, this is for Melanie" but the bad thing with that was- he would take the toys away from her in such a way that, it didn't make her cry, it made her laugh... so he kept doing it -just to hear her giggles i guess.
Little Chillins'
She had a fascination with his forehead.
He kept trying to play 'peek-a-boo' with her, but every time he covered his eyes she attacked him.
She was saying something in the language only babies understand.
This is her favorite toy at our house, I think its because it spoke to her in Spanish. Brayden didn't like sharing this one.
Everything he touched she had to touch too!
This is when he decided that her toys were cooler.
He loved how she kept following him. I think she just wanted her toy back.
Toy thief. -This is what i meant about the face.
Relaxin'
She loved his hair! He loved her cuddles.

Twilight Saga......
I finally finished it! It took me about a month to finish all 4 books, and 12 chapters of Midnight Sun (Edwards version of Twilight that isn't released yet--you can find the chapters on author Stephenie Meyer's website at www.stepheniemeyer.com). I must say I love it!! I always hated vampires and sci-fi stuff, but these books make 'real-life' seem very boring! Ugh! I love them! Read it, you won't be disappointed. And for those of you who have been living under a rock, Twilight, the first book, is coming out as a major motion picture on November 21. Ruthie and I are going to see it as soon as she gets back. :)

First Hair Cut!
So today was the big day, Brayden finally got his hair cut! We went to Cool Cuts 4 Kids, and they did a great job. The lady who cut his hair was soooooo sweet! When we got there, they had a car for him to sit in and a TV for him to watch. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. He really liked the stylist, and didn't mind that she sprayed water on his head. I think he had a crush... hehe.

Me? Need Sleep? Nah!
Brayden has a habit of falling asleep in his high chair and on the floor! So last night I took some pictures of his random sleeping habits....
