Our little guy is sure growing- he’s up to 17 lbs. 12 oz. at his last appt. and has grown out of most of his 3-6 month clothes! Brayden’s rolls are so adorable and he’s such a happy baby. He’s almost rolling over and close to sleeping through the night now. He grabs on to everything (including hair) and loves to watch Lauren. It is the cutest thing when she laughs and he smiles back at her. We’ve gotten quite a few laughs from him, but it takes a little work. Smiles, on the other hand, are pretty easy to come by.
I boxed up the newborn clothes last weekend and it’s hard to believe he was wearing those tiny onesies just a few months ago. Time is going so quickly, but it is fun to experience all these milestones again and we’re so lucky to have a happy, healthy baby.

We celebrated the 4th of July at the lake and also got to celebrate our niece Annie’s birthday; she turned 2 on the 3rd. The girls have so much fun together (as long as Lauren gets to be the leader) and they love the lake. Fishing, getting pulled in the tube (by Josh, not a boat), Nana’s special snacks, smores… what’s not to love, right? It was great to spend the weekend together and especially fun to watch Annie blow out the candles on her Elmo cake.
The following weekend was the annual Fedje get together in Detroit Lakes. My brothers flew home for it and Jeff came a day early to spend time with Lauren; he took her to her first big screen movie, Toy Story 3, and she loved it. We always look forward to the reunion weekend, especially the golf scramble and fish fry! Lauren soaked up all the extra attention and Brayden entertained everyone with his cooing and smiles.

Great photos as always!!!! The girls are best buddies and it shows!!! So lucky you all are to have such a wonderful family to spend time with making memories!!
Our sweet boy is now 3 months and is such a smiley, happy baby. Brayden really only fusses when he’s hungry or tired- he hasn’t been sleeping that well at daycare so he gets a little cranky when I keep him up too late to play with him! He’s sleeping pretty well at night now, usually waking up just once, so that’s been helpful as I’m back to work full-time again. It was really hard to leave him the first few days, but it’s a little easier to get out of the house and make it through the drop-off with each passing day. And it just makes me appreciate the weekends even more!
Brayden is becoming so much more aware of his surroundings and loves to watch Lauren. She gets him to smile just by the way she says his name. To watch the two of them interact is more entertaining and emotionally touching than I ever could have imagined. Brayden has also started to “talk” and laugh in the last few weeks and loves to lay on his changing table and have conversations with us as we change him.
Brayden was baptized on June 13th at St. Andrew and we had a fun day celebrating with family. He wore the socks and shoes that Josh wore for his baptism 33 years ago! His uncles Joe and Jonny are his sponsors and Joe dedicated a verse to him- “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13). God has truly blessed our family with such a precious baby boy.
