Manly Clothes

Brayden's Uncle Tyler said he needed some manly clothes. So he bought Brayden a flannel shirt and a thermal shirt. Even though Brayden isn't very excited in the first picture. He really loves his clothes and wears them often.

Brayden went to see Santa!

Daddy, Mommy, Nana, Papa and Brayden went to the mall to have Brayden's picture taken with Santa. Brayden did an awesome job! He didn't even cry. Also while we were at the mall Brayden tried on a hat like Papa's. It was a very fun night for every one!

2 month check up

At Brayden's 2 month check up, he weighed 10lbs 8 ounces. He was 23 3/4 inches long and his head was 15 3/4 inches around. He also had 3 shots in his leg and 1 he took by mouth. I handled it very and did not even cry. However it was very hard to watch my baby going through it. When we came home we gave him some infant Tylenol. However he came through it with flying colors. Mommy and Daddy were very proud of him.

Smiles

Brayden has also started smiling. It is awesome. We love it when he smiles.

First Thanksgiving

These are all pictures of our 1st Thanksgiving. Grandm bought me this shirt that says Baby's 1st Thanksgiving. We had a lot of fun. Ate a lot of food and laughed a lot!

First Snow

While we were on our way to VA, we got to see snow. Here are pictures of me, mommy, and grandma in the snow. It was very cold, but I was not out there long. Just for a quick picture.

First Road Trip

Grandma came down from VA to pick up me and mommy for our first road trip to VA for Thanksgiving. She came and picked us up the Friday before Thanksgiving. Here is a picture of me and Grandma just before we are getting ready to go.













Grandma, mommy, and me getting ready to go to VA.

Here I am in the backseat of Grandma's car just chillin. I am looking out the window of all the new scenery.

We stopped at Wendy's for lunch on our road trip. Mommy and Grandma got hamburgers while all I got was a formula bottle.

First Time at Church

First of all I am so sorry for not updating the blog like I should. It has been kind of crazy around here. So sit back and be prepared for a long one. =o) On November 9, 2008 was Brayden's first time at church. He stayed in his carrier for the most part except when he needed to be fed. He was very well behaved. We were so proud of him.

5 hours

Yes I am aware that is 3 am in the morning. However tonight was the first night that Brayden slept 5 hours straight. I was so excited that I had to put it on the blog. Way to go Brayden. It makes mommy very happy when you sleep 5 hour straight.

Down..Set...Hike

Family

Family is very important to us. These pictures are of family members that have come to see Brayden as well as Sean and I. We are very grateful for our family, and we love them very much!

Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Here is the pumpkin that I (Sean) carved for the season. I only carve one per year, so I make it count!

Pumpkin Patch 2008

Here is a glimpse of Brayden's first visit to a pumpkin patch during his first Halloween season.

1 month check up

Brayden's 1 month check up was on Friday, October 24, 2008, which is exactly one month from his birth. We are happy to say Brayden now weighs 8lbs 2oz, and he is now 22 3/4 inches long. Dr. Patel says everything looks great!

Carrot Top!

Here is a rather enlightening view of Brayden's hair

First time wearing shoes!

A very dear friend of ours gave us 5o pair of kids shoes from size 0 to 5. This is Brayden with Grandma wearing his first pair of shoes. This was the same day he went to his first restaurant with Grandma, Grandpa, Daddy, and Mommy. We all went to Salsarita's for lunch. However Brayden slept through the whole thing, which meant we all got to eat.

Tummy Time

First Stroller Ride

The preschool team at mommy's school gave Brayden a Snugrider stroller. It is pretty cool light weight stroller where the car seat fits into it. Grandma, mommy, brayden and Mack went for a walk around the block. As soon as we started moving Brayden was asleep.

First Bath

He's here...

We are proud to announce the arrival of Brayden James Coffee. He weighs 7 lbs 10 oz. and is 21 inches long, and he was born on Wednesday, September 24th, 2008 @ 11:00 am.

Brayden's Room - DONE!

Well, it's finally done. Thanks to the efforts of my wife and our families, Brayden's room is ready for it's rock star resident!

Ultrasound #2!

Good afternoon all,

These are the only two pictures that they gave us after our latest ultrasound which was done between 32 and 33 weeks. The doctor estimates Brayden's current weight at 4lbs 15oz. He also has noticeable hair already. He is currently breach, so hopefully he'll figure that out on his own and fix that problem for us. This is a great opportunity for him to learn how to be a team player! In the frontal face shot, the larger area to the left is his face - right after the profile shot he turned his head and opened his mouth, but she didn't take a screenshot until his mouth closed.

Recording!

For those few that I haven't already told, my band was in the studio recording our demo CD last friday night. This was my first time ever going into a studio, much less actually recording music that I wrote. Here is just a little video that someone shot while we were setting up. I am playing around on the guitar to make sure that my levels are right, so what you hear is not our real music.

Brayden's room

It has been a "work in progress" for a couple of weeks now, but it is now finished - sort of. All that is left is the decorations, furniture, equipment, diapers... who am I kidding, we've only just begun!

Here is a progress shot, a "yeah, we're done" shot, and the token "tummy shot".
