A LONG overdue update

It has been a while since I have updated this. We were having computer issues and  then just got kind of busy.
Let's see...Brayden had his 2 month check up on August 17th and he was 12.6 pounds and 23 inches! He is getting so big. His doctor said he has a slight case of reflux, but we won't be doing any meds to treat it. It doesn't seem to bother him and he is a "happy" spitter. Just means more laundry for us!
It was a sad day for mama at the doctors. He had to get two vaccines. He would have gotten 6 I think, but I am spacing them out. No need to overload his already fragile immune system! He will go each month until he is a year and then we should be all caught up. We are following the Dr. Sears alternative vaccine schedule. Brayden will only get two vaccines at a time and only one live virus.
Brayden is a little mover now! On August 27th he learned how to roll from his tummy to his back intentionally. He had rolled on accident a few times, but now he knows what he is doing. He gets pretty proud of himself when he does it. Now we have to keep an even closer eye on him!
We have stayed here in Yuma for quite some time. Our last trip out to California wasn't too pleasant. Brayden was not a happy camper and we think we overloaded him with all our traveling so we have stayed put. We do miss everyone out there and we like visitors!
Brayden's new favorite thing is to sit up in the bumbo. His friend Bruce (who I went back to babysitting for) is letting us borrow his little seat. He loves sitting up and looking around. We put him in it while Zack makes dinner or while we eat. It keeps him content for a while. He also likes to look at his toys while he sits in it.
The little man has also found his voice! He loves to talk and will have conversations with you for quite a long time. He is so darn cute when he talks too.
He is full of smiles and such a happy baby. We are so lucky! It has been an amazing three months with our little man and we are looking forward to watching him grow and learn new things. I will try and update this more often! I lost track of time for a little bit.
Pictures will be coming soon, I need to upload them once I find the cord :)
