Sun....Warm....and Love

This past weekend Brayden and I went to Florida to see family. My Nana has been either in the hospital or a nursing home for the last month. She asked us to come see her, so if Nana asks you go. Uncle Charles and Aunt Jeannie were excited we were coming as well. We had so much fun with our family. Brayden is loved by so many wonderful people. As parents it is amazing to see how our son can make a difference. When we arrived Florida, we were met by Nana, Uncle Charles, Aunt Jeannie, and Grandma with smiles on their faces from ear to ear.

After Brayden got out of the bath, we took a picture with Nana. The picture turned out great. Brayden was great medicine for Nana.

Nana's hair dresser brought over some toys for Brayden to play with while we were in Florida. Uncle Charles is pushing Brayden in the grocery cart. Brayden is Uncle Charles's little buddy.

Aunt Jeannie and Nana had a garage sale while we were there. Grandma is working the garage sale. Brayden given Grandma some lovin.

Wherever there was Uncle Charles there was Brayden!

Brayden enjoyed pushing Nana's walker around. Here he was playing with the wheels on it. The past 2 weeks Brayden has been really into cars .

Aunt Jeannie pushing Brayden around in the car!

We had so much fun in Florida. The weather was beautiful. It was wonderful spending time with family. Brayden was so good in the car on the way down there and the way back home. I was so proud of him. He is truly one amazing boy! We love him dearly!

Say Cheese!

Last week was my spring break. Brayden and I decided to hit the road. We went to visit family in Virginia. On Monday Grandpa took off work, so we all decided to go to Chuck E Cheese. Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Tyler, Mommy and Brayden went. We had a lot of fun.

Brayden decided to take a ride with Chuck E Cheese. I couldn't get him to look at the camera because the car had buttons. He was fascinated by them, and when you hit each one they played a different song.

Brayden played his first game where he had to pop the balls into the buckets. He even won some tickets.

This was Brayden's favorite game. It was Deal or No Deal! He loved hitting all the buttons. We are working on getting him to say No Deal!

They had a toddler area. Brayden and Grandma are playing peek a boo through the bus cut out. He thought it was awesome.

Brayden loves pizza. We use to cut it up, and then one day Ms. Shannon gave him a piece that was not cut up. Ever since then Brayden had to have the pizza whole. We just cut a piece into two smaller pieces. He is doing great with it especially now that he is getting more teeth. (YEAH!!)

Before we left they had a helicopter. We put Brayden in it, and this is the picture we got. Is he just a cutie! We love him dearly! He is a great kid!

We hope you are all doing well! We love you all!

Spring Fling

This past Saturday was our church spring fling. We had a fabulous time and are grateful for the hard work that went into it. Last year all Brayden could do was sit in the grass. Not this year...he was everywhere on the swing set, up and down hill, and hunting easter eggs. He is turning into a little boy right before our eyes. Be sure to check out the video at the bottom!

Brayden loved running down the hill and falling on the ground. He thought it was just the funniest thing while mommy was nervous every time.
Bradyen loved running down this hill. I think we spent a good 20 minutes running u and down the hill. It is the little things that entertain us.
Brayden and I had worked Saturday morning prior to the spring fling on how to hunt Easter eggs. Here is Brayden putting his mad skills to work. He did such a great job. He found 10 eggs plus he even wanted to carry his basket. It is amazing how quickly they grow up. It happen so fast.

First Snow!

Our first family picture in the snow, which was very easy with daddy's new camera that he got for christmas!

Brayden' s first time walking in the snow! We were lucky one of our friends gave Brayden snow boots in a bag of clothes. It was neat to watch him.

We got our first snow of the year! It was maybe an inch, but we think it was awesome. Here is Brayden enjoying crawling in the snow until he lost his glove. Then his hand hit the snow, and he was done with the snow!

We love you all,

Sean, Tia, and Brayden

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!
