Lamb chops anyone??

We're not really going to eat you little lamb head!!
Bath time is so fun...little B really loves splashing and grabbing for his floaty dolphin book that Auntie Amy gave him. And the full body message that follows (with Burt's Baby Bees buttermilk lotion)...LOVE the stuff, I highly recommend it! Life is good these days! My foot is finally healing, and I've been able to summit Tabor again on a daily basis...yay routine is back ON. Brayden rocks my world everyday...he's really starting find his laugh. LOVE IT.

3 months to B

AS I am using this kind of as your "babybook" Brayden, I better at least do a monthy report on your amazing journey. Soo, you will be 3 months exactly in a couple of days. You have changed dramatically in the past 1-2 wks!! Thank you...you are sleeping through the night, down like a pro between 8:30-9pm and up about 7am! Best ever! We play in the mornings, and you are sooo interested in everything and able to reach and grab at things now, which makes it so fun. Everything you actually get a hold of is straight to your mouth for a taste. You laugh out loud, and are all about standing! We do "Hit it!" and pull you from laying to standing with mama's "extremely realistic" boat and water sound effects, holding on to your perfect little hands and taking you for an imaginary wakeboard or waterski, you rock it, and smile and laugh!! (this may ebarrass me more than you in the future...I get way into it) You've never been a puker, but lately at least once a day you seem to hurl, right about when mama picks you up with a big open mouth grin....(ok that only happened once, but yeah..it happened... baby puke in the mouth...uuuuuugh!) Hmmm, you're just easier all around. When you start to fuss a little and we're out and about, its as easy as giving you a napkin to hold and chew on. Naps are key, as well as keeping on "your schedule" you're not as happy a camper if either of these things are over looked. Tummy time is still sucky in your mind, but you are totally lifting your head on your arms, and have yet to attempt to roll over on your own. I am just loving every minute of your company, and am able to put you down for naps or self entertainment when I need to get stuff done. You seem to be all about "Action" all the time...still, and are the easiest little dude to take places cause you love "new things and places." Everyday is getting more and more fun, thanks for being "the little dude!" We love you more than you'll ever know...until you have kids. xxx mama

Rollin'!!!...... not so much

helmet....??
weeeee!.....ZZZzzz...weee.....zzzzzzzz


We are back on our BIKES!! Well...I was for a day, until I broke my stupid foot!! Grrr, classic lisa...nope there wasn't a big rock or a root or anything to trip over, I just fell....just gracefully rolled my ankle and ate the dirt... with a snap. That takes skill. So now I'm in a way too big cast, hobbling around trying to keep this little guy entertained. But...when Dada gets home its off to the races, Brayden loves his little chariot...and when I can walk again I will too, it also doubles as a stroller and has ski attatchments....waah?? yup skiing in the chariot this winter HOOOO...no. No probably not. And no....hes not wearing the helmet yet...still some growing to do, but isn't it funny! No one worry, we're going VERY slow and easy with him, he LOVES it and so does dada! xx

And so i asked the wise old man sitting on my couch...


On our way to great grandpa's 90th B-day party, little B fit right in with the senior crowd...or was he ready to work on your car? Such a good little social butterfly
