One of Mommy's best friends (for 20 years now!!!) came down for a visit from Chicago. Braeden liked meeting her, and gave her some good smiles! Unfortunately, by the time we took a picture, he was ready for a nap!
We took a family outing to a local pumpkin patch and got lucky to have nice cool weather while we were there. Austin didn't want to sit still to get a picture with a pumpkin, he just saw that "mountain" of pumpkins, and had to climb to the top! No matter how many times we pulled him back down, he just kept trying to get to the top! Braeden and mommy got a picture in front of the pumpkins though. Daddy took Austin on a "train" ride around the farm, and they had a great time. While we were there Austin met a witch and Frankenstein, then helped mommy pick out a "fairy tale" pumpkin. It was a great day!
With all the hot weather and rain we have had, mom had to get a little creative in how to occupy an almost two year old during Braeden's naptime. Painting, while it keeps the noise level low, definitely has a messy factor of 9.57 on a scale of 10. Oh well, Austin loved doing it, and that is all that matters!
Daddy took me to get my first pair of real cowboy boots...now I am officially a Texan. I like to wear them with lots of different outfits. For example, boots look great with shorts. But by far the best thing to wear your boots with is your lizard pajamas, while wearing your Astros hat and carrying a football and a broken bucket. That is what all the kids are wearing nowadays.
Oh yeah, I am a big kid now! I can eat with a fork. Notice the skill, the form, the technique in the first couple of pictures. Then look very closely at my favorite technique of all in the last two pictures. Hey....I am eating with a fork still!
Hi everyone, it's me, Braeden. I am a whole 5 months old now. I am catching up to my brother as fast as I can. At my four month check up, I weighed 15 lbs. 10 oz. and I was 25 3/4 inches tall, so I am even bigger now! I am eating rice cereal, oatmeal, and several assorted fruits and veggies. I wasn't so sure about eating from a spoon at first, but now Mom can't "shovel" it in fast enough. I am trying to roll over more, I scoot around on my belly in a circle, and have made a few attempts to hold myself up in a sitting position. My mom can't believe how fast time has flown by and that I'll be crawling around in a couple of months. My favorite past times include watching Austin, laughing at the dogs (especially Maggie), being tickled, watching Austin, eating my hands, drooling, watching Austin, and playing in my exersaucer. Did I mention I like to watch Austin? My dislikes are bedtime, naptime, and sleep.
