Braden absolutely is in love with Morgan. He could be fussy and crying anywhere and then he’ll see or hear Morgan and instantly turn his head at her and “light up”. His smile will become huge and you can tell there is no one in the world like his mom. I absolutely love it. Morgan is a wonderful mother and wife and God has blessed me beyond belief with her.
Ok, I know it was last week, but here it is.
On Fathers Day Kevin got breakfast (fresh blueberry pancakes, bacon, hashbrowns, strawberries, oj and milk) in bed with the Sunday paper. The day before we decided that we were going to go on a picnic with the other Turners, Dick and Joyce and Brian, Eryn and Liam. So after breakfast, we packed up the car, stopped for some fried chicken and potato wedges, and headed for Veterans Park. It was a beautiful day and it was fun watching the boys enjoy themselves. It was so nice we went from there to the community pool in Tuscany near Dick and Joyce’s house. It was so fun taking the little boys into the water! We have little inflatable chairs that will also keep them shaded, so they are completely pampered! What a life! All in all I think a good day was had by all and many fun memories were made and traditions started!
Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers in my life! (and Happy Birthday Joyce!) We love you all.

2 days before Braden’s 4 month birthday we started adding rice cereal to his bottle. He had be so hungry and fussy and no matter how much I nursed and fed with straight formula he was still hungry, and waking up in the middle of the night to eat. And he hadn’t done that since he was 10 weeks old, so we figured we would try it out and see if cereal helped. What a difference it has been! Not only is he happier but he also spits up less when we add cereal to that meal. His doctor thinks he might had esophageal stenosis, hardening of the valve that lets food into the stomach, which results in major regurgitation. But other than that he is very healthy and growing really well! He weighed 15.1 lbs and was 26 inches long at 4 months. Long and skinny, what can I say, just like his Daddy! We have started introducing spoon-feeding which makes more of a mess than I think he gets into his belly, but things are getting better! He’s starting to understand the whole swallowing concept. Good job little man!

We have taken Braden swimming a few times now in an actual swimming pool and he LOVES it! We knew he likes his bath, but he loves water in general. He splashes and kicks at times but then also just floats calmly. When I put him under the water he just comes back up blinking his eyes and looking a little startled. No coughing or crying! What a good boy and already a little fish.

| Last Saturday one of my dearest friends came into town to visit. She is from Boise but is going to Physician’s Assistant school in Glendale AZ. This was her first time meeting Braden. She was a natural with him! I can’t wait for you to come back into town Stef! Miss and love you! |
 |
| As you can see, I took this picture of Braden while he was “helping” me clean. I had been vacuuming the house and happened to glanced into the mirror and saw him fast asleep! What a good helper huh! |
| Here are some new pictures of Braden taken in March.

Although it was early, I had a great time catching up with all of you and seeing the recent additions to our group! Love you all and your babies too!
Braden took his first bath in the big tub with Mommy on Monday. He didn’t mind being in the water so much but when he was not totally in the water he wasn’t happy. I think he got a little chilly. But I can see lots of water sports in his future, starting with swimming lessons taught by Mommy!

| See?! Not very happy! But so cute! |
 |
| I was only holding his head and neck, the rest of his body floated by itself! SO great to see as a swimming lesson teacher! Hope that stays like that! |

This past week my grandparents came into town to meet their new great-grandson. It is always so great to see them and it was even more special this time. They were so great with Braden and showed him so much love. Thanks for visiting Grandpa and Grandma! Love you!
