does he know how old he is?

Brayden just turned 8 months old and is a little over 22 lbs.  He continues to learn so much and is getting big way to fast.  In the last few weeks he has gotten 2 more teeth, can stand by himself, "runs" on the furniture, and as of yesterday he took 4 steps.  His laugh melts my heart and I love his smiles and sweet, curious personality.  Such a great little boy!!!  Enjoy the Videos!!

Christmas Card

So here it is....... Our 2010 Christmas card.  I love it.  We made 8 different cards and finally decided on this one.   Shutterfly had way to many choices, but I think we made the right choice.  I also entered Brayden in a photo contest through the website, and made a bunch of photo gifts for the family.  Shutterfly makes projects fun, easy, and they give you all kinds of free stuff in the process. Have you checked it out yet?  Oh and don't worry, you will probably get on in the mail too.

I Heart Christmas Cards.....

 I honestly get so excited when I start to see them arrive!   I feel like it is an opportunity to reconnect with all my friends and I love pictures. My favorite ones are the photo cards and Shutterfly has the best!

I love Shutterfly and have been nothing but pleased with their product.  I am not a scrapbooker and have order lots of their photobooks that are super easy to make.  Sara and I also make calendars for the grandparents every year and have order a few other need photo projects from them too.

I am thrilled to order my holiday cards from them this year because they have an even bigger selection, I haven't decided which one since there are so many to choose from!

They have actual Christmas cards that are folded and open with a photo on the front!   

  

 Or they have the traditional...and my all time favorite original photo card that is flat :)

Check it out, I can't wait to see yours!!

It has been a busy few month. We have spent a lot of time trying to enjoy the fall and get outside. Brayden is growing so much and learning so quickly. In the past month Brayden has learned to crawl, pull himself up, and walk along the furniture. It is never a dull moment around here. Brayden has also started sleeping through the night, (YEA!) and I feel like a new person. We are having so much fun and everyday are more and more thankful for our amazing little man!!

Remedy for a bad day!

Far too long and lots of first

Clearly I am proving that I am not a good blogger. I really want to be, but I am just not good at this. Anyway there is so much to catch up on.

I went back to work and Brayden had a hard time adjusting. He decided to no longer take a bottle and would not eat and cry for Sara everyday. After a couple of weeks and lots of different bottles he decided it was ok, and he started taking a bottle from Sara. YEA! It has been so great having Sara watch him, it makes going back to work part time easier.

Brayden continues to grow and learn so fast. He is an amazing boy and I feel so blessed he is ours. In the last 7 weeks since I have last blogged Brayden tried rice cereal. But it gave him a tummy aches so we are going to try again at six months. For now we still get up every 3-4 hours. A week after he was 4 months he got 2 teeth in 18 hours, a few days later he found he can sit up by himself, he then learned he can roll over both ways and he "found his feet", he went on his first family vacation, and I believe he is going to be crawling in the next few weeks. He can get up on his knees and hands and rock. He also can scoot across the room. He is awesome and I am blown away by how amazing he is and how much a can love him. Here are some photos of the last few weeks. Enjoy!!!!

He's getting so big!

Brayden is now 3 months old and I can't believe how much he changes every week.  He is so much fun and that big smile he gives me every morning could melt hearts.  It has been a big month for us.  We have moved into our new home that we love and finally have room to spread out in, Brayden has started sleeping in his big boy bed, and I go back to work tomorrow. UGH!  I love teaching and I am excited, but I want to take Brayden along with me.  The good news is that I only work from 8-12 and family will be watching him every day, and for that I am so blessed and thankful.

Yes, you can have a pony!!  This face has me wrapped around his finger

Tummy time makes me so tired ( This is how I found him during tummy time)

Happy Boy

So Strong
