More swimming...
I love feeding my self! Move over Mom!

Swim Lessons!

We recently signed Brayden up for swim lessons at the Rec Center in Parker. He has gone twice now, and LOVES it! Daddy takes him in the water and even down a slide last week!

Brayden's 8th Month!

Brayden playing with all of his toys!! He absolutely loves sitting up now and hardly ever wants to be lying down.

February Snapshots

Brayden is finally taking to a few solid foods. Thus far he loves sweet potatoes and prunes. He will tolerate carrots and squash, but doesn't really care for green veggies yet- we are working on it!

Brayden's 7th Month!

Brayden and Mommy love to go visit bookstores. We get a bunch of books, a Starbucks (of course) and read! Here we are at a Barnes and Noble- just finished reading about Corduroy!

Out shopping with Brayden, we saw a cute car that he loved! He enjoyed honking the horn the most!
Meeting Auntie Kelly at Park Meadows Mall. This is our new favorite pastime since we now live so far away. I think we have that mall memorized!

Brayden is such a happy baby! Here he is playing with the wipes and diapers before getting changed!


Playing with Daddy and the Wiggle Worm Gym!

BIG MAN!

Brayden is such a big man! Here he is in a new GAP shirt. Could he look more like his Daddy? Not only do they have identical faces, but now their clothes look alike too!

Brayden got this adorable new rocking chair from his Grandpa and Grandma for Christmas! He likes to sit up, so he enjoys rocking!

The Start of A New Year!

As we were putting away our Christmas decorations this morning, we came across a personalized card for Brayden shown above! How cute!
This is a picture of our yearly ornaments that we get from Lindsay's Uncle Bill. We have gotten one every year since we have been engaged. This is the newest one, adding Brayden!
Of course, what would a post be without our sweetheart? Here he is playing!

Locks of Love

Just this week, Lindsay decided to cut off 11 inches of hair to donate to Locks Of Love! Visit their website at : locksoflove.org to see how donated hair is used to create wigs for children, most of whom can't afford a wig on their own. If you are thinking about cutting your hair, check out how you can help someone in need! Even if you don't have the required 10 inches, they can still use your ponytail- they will sell it and use the money to offset their costs!

Christmas 2008

Yea for Brayden's 1st Christmas! Kyle's family came into town from Texas, so we decided to spend the week of Christmas with both our families in Colorado Springs. Before we left our house in Denver, we let Brayden open his stocking and most of his gifts from Mommy and Daddy. I think he may have loved the wrapping paper more than the presents!

Our family on Christmas morning- Brayden decked out in a Santa suit.

We are so blessed by Brayden and were so happy to have him this Christmas!

Christmas Time with Brayden

Brayden loves spending time with his Daddy. Now that Kyle has finished his 1st semester of Law School, he has a month off for play time!

Kyle's brother Josh brought over this walker for Brayden, and he loves it! He rolls all over the kitchen, and it is a life-saver for Mommy when trying to make dinner!
