Gatlinburg Vacation

At the beginning of October we went on our yearly Tennessee vacation with my parents. Brayden got to do so many new things like playing at the indoor water park and going to Ripley's Aquarium. He also got to spend a week straight with my folks..which I know they just loved! Here are some photos of our wonderful vacation!

Brayden's 1st Haircut

So we finally broke down last month and got Brayden a haircut!! I was hoping that we could have waited a little longer, but his cute little curls were starting to turn into a little rat tail. He did so great while he was getting it cut...we were so amazed! The same lady that gave me my first haircut did Brayden's as well and it certainly was a come full circle kind of moment!


Bye Bye Curls


Such a BIG BOY!!

Brayden's 14 Month Update

Sorry for the loss of blogging over the past month things have been a little crazy in this household. We spent a majority of July at the lake house, so packing and unpacking and organizing and cleaning have been at the top of my to list for the past few weeks. Brayden on the other hand is growing like a weed...he is so amazing and we are so blessed to have this precious little boy in our lives!

Since his 12 month posting he has been a busy boy....

He is still in size 3 diapers except for at night he is in size 4

Still wearing 9 to 12 month clothes...he is much taller than wider

We are blessed that he sleeps all night in his own bed and maybe wakes up once....he still naps twice a day usually about 2 hours each time.

Brayden is beginning to show a lot more emotion...he hugs his stuffed animals and gives kisses to us but he can also show his angry side too.

He is starting to show more interest in books and actually wanting to sit down and really look at than just swat  the pages.

He gets no greater enjoyment than finding something on the tables around the house that he can reach and play with! He loves to climb on anything and he is managing the couch quite well.

He is not big on his words right now..but he understands a lot. Like when we tell him "No" or "Bath" he runs straight to the bathroom door, he will go get something from his room like his blankie or a stuffed animal when you ask him too. He also will point to things like his cup when we say drink or his paci. So we know he communicating and understanding the things he is learning.

He is also has 6 teeth now and loves to show them off!!


We Love You B!!

It's Party Time!!

Well last weekend we had Brayden's 1st birthday party...and it was awesome!! Everyone had such a great time and it was just such a blessing to have everyone come together to celebrate this wonderful little boy! We rented out the Fincastle Community Center for the bash, because our house is way to small to fit so many people. We served hot dogs, hamburgers and all the fixins to go with and cake and ice cream...the food was so yummy and we couldn't have done without our parents helping out! Here are a some photos of his BIG day!!
