Braeden climbing the stairs

Here he is our handsome boy and he is crawling up the stairs. Braeden and Mommy have been working on it for a few weeks, and today he climbed up the whole flight of stairs. With Mommy's assistance and watchful eye of course :) Time goes by too fast when they are this little. He did so good I am so proud of my Chubsy:)

Our remote control

Here is Braeden shortly after changing the channels on the tv with his forehead. The red areas on his forehead is where he was pushing the buttons. We weren't sure how the channel changed until we saw him do it. It was quite funny seeing him on his knees and pushing his head against the tv. Who needs a remote when you have Braeden.

Oh, and get a good look at his teeth. 

I think it might be genetic what do you think????

Ok I had to put these in of little Aurora, they are too funny!!!! The one of her dancing on the table is priceless. I think Daddy might want to put a lock on that beer fridge:) hee hee

He must be Tyler's son

Here he is the boy and his bottle:) oh wait that isnt his bottle thats his Daddy's bottle. hee hee

My handsome sleeping boy

I have to say that a baby sleeping is the absolute cutest thing in the world. Not to mention the most peaceful. I love this little guy... Can you tell??? He is laying on his Big Daddy. Its easy to fall alseep when you cuddle up that guy!!! He has a magic power I think, it seems to happen to all of us:)

Braeden and his teeth

Here is Braeden sitting in his new walker. If you take a close look at his smile, you might just see his two front teeth. I will let you know that he surely does know how to use them. He bites my ear when sitting on my shoulders, or when we are sitting in my chair.  

Ireland's slumber party

Ireland had a slumber party for her Birthday in October and I know that some of you have seen these put I wanted to post some of the girls. I tend to show off Braeden a lot so I felt I had to show off my pretty girls. We had about 12 girls over and only 4 of the spent the night. All of the girls made tye dyed shirts and hair wraps. They had a lot of fun and it was a learning experience for Mommy:)

His walker

We werent going to do it and then finally we had too. We bought him a walker it was this or trying to make a helmet to protect his poor head. He is a very busy boy!!!!

Braeden at the park

Here is our boy at the park in a swing for the first time. I was so glad that it was so nice outside!!!! I took the kids and the 2 dogs and we enjoyed the nice day while we could. He was too adorable to not take pictures of!!;) Enjoy!!!

I thought I would post a few of these just becuase they are so funny. I thought hey I might try a few of these out and then once I looked at them further I realized what they were. I told the teacher that is was the best Christmas present I have ever gotten and it was a wonderful idea!!!

HE IS CRAWLING

I know that many of you have seen him wiggle around, and yes while it is all so cute it wasnt the crawling that we all have been waiting for. But today the litte man has officially mastered the crawling, he was up on all 4s and doing it like any pro would do. I am sooo proud of him. What a smart and handsome boy we have!!!! I have included some pictures of him eating his first real banana. This boy eats anything and everything.... and it shows. He is our CHUBSY:)

Family Pictures

This is our family after a sledding adventure and our Christmas picture with Santa

Another family picture

Nana and Papa took this picture when there were visiting in December.

Nana and Papa

Here is Papa with the sassy girls and Nana with their Braeden. He seems to have fallen asleep. Just like him to miss all the fun that way.

Meet Uncle Ron and Granny

Here we are with Mommy, Daddy, Granny and Uncle Ron. Granny was in a bit of pain becuase Braeden was kicking her and Uncle Ron was laughing because it was really funny:)This was after their Christmas surprise visit. We enjoyed having them here. Too bad that they had to leave :(

Aurora

Hi, I'm Aurora. I love to dance and sing. I love to play with my toys and I love to play with our dogs and cat.

I do love playing with my big sister Ireland, and my little brother Braeden. He is so much fun when you make him laugh.

Braeden

Well hello there. I am Braeden. I am the real life of the party. I love to laugh, and try to talk. I have decided to stand and try to walk rather than stoop to crawling. I do dance but you had better play the right music.

I have my first tooth. It just came in the other day. It doesn't let me sleep much, but I wake up Mommy and Daddy and they keep me company. They are lots of fun at 3:00a.m..

Glad to meet you.

Ireland

Hi, I'm Ireland. I love to pose for the camera, sing and dance to every song I hear on the radio, and help Mom and Tyler in the kitchen. Here I am baking Christmas cookies for Santa!! Cooking is so much fun that I made a cookbook at school I just might have topost a few recipes . The picture up top is me at my Christmas performance. I love school, and all of my friends.
