Growing Up

We had to change Brayden's daycare lady because she got a full time job. However now Brayden goes to Ms. Shannon, who we all love. However one of the neat things about this new set up is that Ms. Shannon works at a Christian preschool 2 1/2 hours a day. Brayden goes with her to the 1 year old class, and he loves it. Here is the first craft he made from preschool. It is a native american headband. He is working on his Indian sounds.

Here is another view of his lovely art work. He walked around the house for almost an hour after we showed daddy when he got home from work. He is too cute!

We also started trying to use a spoon by ourself, but that didn't work out so well. He decided it was much more fun to eat applesauce with his finger. Mommy and Brayden laughed a long time over this one. He was so funny!

Mommy it is so good no matter which way you eat it!

Trick or Trunk

On Sunday night after church we had trick or trunk. Brayden was dressed up as a Jaguar of course for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was so cute. However he did not want to go car to car; Brayden just wanted to walk where he wanted to walk.

Here is Brayden and mommy walking outside on the sidewalk. He has not mastered the art of curbs yet, so we had to hold mommy's hand.

This is Brayden's friend Grace. She is almost nine months old. Grace was dressed up as a spider.

Here is Brayden at Grace's car saying "Hi". He really liked those little pumpkins that were in Grace's car.

This is my favorite picture of the night. It is our little Jaguar.

We know that we have not blogged in a while, and I apologize. Things have really been busy and crazy lately. However I will be better and update the blog. We love you all.

9 months old

Well it is hard to believe but our little boy is nine months old. The times has flown by so quickly, but it has been so much fun. He is such a terrific boy. I feel Sean and I are truly blessed by God for our son. Brayden is 21 lbs, 29 1/2 inches long, and his head is 18 1/2 inches. He has the Coffee head like his daddy =o) He is fixing to get his 2nd tooth! YEAH!! When Brayden was born, he had a bump on his head. On Brayden's first doctors appointment we asked about it. They said it was just a lymph node and it would go away. Well 9 months later it is still there. Dr. Patal looked at it again. He thinks it might be something different. So he going to refer us to a pediatric surgeon to have Brayden evaluated. I'll be honest I am a little nervous. However we will keep you posted. I hope everyone has a happy Sunday!

It's a bird...it's a plane...it's Brayden

Tyler, Grandma, Mommy, and Brayden went to the park. We all took Brayden swinging. He loves to swing.

Tyler laid on the ground so he could get these next two pictures.


It looks like Brayden is flying. Oh plus Brayden's first tooth popped through the beginning of last week, but we are having difficulty getting a picture of it. As soon as we do I will post it.

Spending Time with Family and Friends

On Tuesday night Me and Mommy went out to dinner with one of mommy's best friend's Jen. She had not seen Brayden since March. We went to Chili's that is where Jen and I use to go to dinner all the time there. We had so much fun. It was so nice to sit and catch up on each others lives. Brayden was so well behaved. He had a lot of fun as well.

On Friday night we celebrated Father's Day with Papa. We went to Johnny Rockets to eat. Papa was in Russia. He had gotten back the day before.

Brayden and Papa

Papa, Nana, and Brayden trying to get a group shot. However Brayden preferred to play with the straws instead. =o)

Animal Park

At the Animal Park they had a 620lb tortoise. They had a shell that kids could slide into, but I was not to keen on that idea. So Tyler helped me sit on the top of it.

Mommy, Grandma, and me went on a wagon ride. We got to see a lot of different animals. I think my favorite part was feeding the fish.

Tyler held me on the fence, so I could see the monkeys. I think he is part monkey. We had a great time. It was a lot of fun, but it was a little hot.

Teething Biscuit

Brayden tried his first teething biscuit. He really liked it, but it was really messy. It was a good thing that he was going to take a bath afterwards.


I think this is what helped his first tooth break through the gum. You can't see it yet, but you sure can feel it. I am sure it was the teething biscuit mommy gave him.

Fun in the Sun

Brayden loved the pool that a friend at Mommy's school gave her. At first he had to use to the cold water, but once he did he loved it.

He got tired of wearing his hat, and he took it off. You can see his red hair, which we love.

After a fun time in the pool, Brayden took a nap. He feel asleep holding the pack and play tag.

My Little Monkey

One afternoon I was feeding Brayden his bottle. He decided to hold his bottle with his hands and his feet. It was to cute, so we took a picture.

We went to Florida

Brayden and I went to Florida to visit Nana, Aunt Jeannie, and Uncle Charles. They had not seen Brayden since he was a 3 1/2 months old. Brayden and I flew there. We got to spend the weekend with Nana, Aunt Jeannie, and Uncle Charles. We had a lot of fun! We will get to see them again really soon! I love you!!

Brayden put his pacifier in wrong. I thought it was cute so I took a picture. He got to use it more than normal. His Uncle Charles thought he needed it. =o)

Brayden and Uncle Charles were big buddies while we were there. They had a lot of fun together. This makes me think this is how Uncle Charles was when I was little. What love he has for me and my son!

Nana gave Brayden the outfit he is wearing, so he could stay cool! Nana couldn't believe how much hair Bradyen had gotten. We also to go to church with Nana. We got to meet all of her friends.

Aunt Jeannie was my all time feeder. She got the honor to feed me all my meals. She got much better with practice and time. Sometimes I like to give her a hard time.

We love you all very much and miss you bunches! We can't wait to see you!

Mother's Day 2009

I had the best first mother's day! My husband made me an incredible breakfast! My son ate breakfast with me. Then I got a digital picture frame with a beautiful slide slow that my husband created for me! It was wonderful day, and I am so grateful to have a wonderful husband and a terrific son!

6 months

Hi Everyone! It is hard to believe that Brayden just turned 6 months old. The time is flying by so quickly. He has grown so much from when he was born. Brayden had his 6 month check up yesterday. He also got 5 shots. Three of them were oral and two injections. He was such a trooper. He did not cry at all for the first one and only about three seconds after the second one.
His weight is 18lbs 10oz
His height is 28 inches
His head circumference is 17 1/2 inches


Here is Brayden in is OSU gear that we got while we were in Oklahoma. It is a 3/6 month outfit, so I had to put him in it one more time.

Right before I snapped this one Brayden put his arm around his OSU teddy bear that Nana and Papa bought him. I thought it was adorable, so I put it on here as well.

This a picture of Brayden trying to sit up. He was using his hand, but he is getting very close to being able to sit up on his own.

Brayden and I were doing tummy time on the blanket Aunt Bev made. He looked up and smiled at me, so I took the picture.

Also Brayden has a new cousin. Wyatt Ayers was born on Thursday March 26th. We are very happy for Nathan, Rachel, and Tyson. Wyatt and Brayden will only be 6 months apart, which will be awesome as they grow up together.

We hope you all have a nice weekend. We love you all!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hi everyone! This is Brayden's St. Patrick's Day PJ's and Bib that Grandma gave him. Ms. Kristi said she kept him in them extra long because they were so cute. She took him to the dentist for her appointment in them and got tons of compliments. Thank you Grandma!

This past Monday afternoon Brayden and I were playing on the mat, and he took both feet and stuck them in his mouth. I ran to get the camera to make sure I got a picture of this. He has a big mouth Grandpa.

The first week of March Brayden and I went to see Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, and Papa in VA. Grandma and Grandpa got Brayden a wagon for Christmas. This is a picture of Uncle Tyler, Grandpa and Brayden crusin' in the wagon.

Here Brayden is chillin in the wagon. He stayed like this the whole trip. We were laughing so hard.
