Long time..again!

So, again it has been a long time since I updated! Been busy, been sick... craziness! Brayden is getting through an ear infection, no clue what I've got, and Jordan has his cough back again. Hopefully we are all on the road to recovery! We had an exciting trip to Disneyland with my family a few weeks ago... it was sooo much fun! Brayden had a blast! It was so much fun watching him look, and take everything in! And when he saw Mickey... he couldn't stop smiling and laughing! Brought tears to my eyes! Even though he won't remember it, I know he had a ton of fun! He is almost nine months now! I know, crazy! He cut his top two teeth finally, and they are making there way down! He loves throwing balls, daddy throwing him up and down, playing with Tasia, clapping, and smiling! He is such an amazing boy, I love him so much!

Jordan has begun another busy stretch! Work is picking up more and more with the Mariner's beginning their season mid April. He is the assistant coach for Mercer Island High School, practicing every night. He loves what he does, and hopefully he will be able to catch a breath soon! = )

As for me, I am keeping busy with Brayden! It is such an amazing job to be able to stay at home with him! Even with the challenging moments, I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Time goes by so fast

It has been a while since I've posted again... Time flies by so quickly! Well, Brayden is growing like a weed!! He is now 7 1/2 months old.. weighing about 22lbs.. and about 29 1/2 inches! He sits up all by himself, loves playing with his toys, Tasia, and sitting in his bouncy seat!

Jordan is still working hard. He is now the Assistant Coach at Mercer Island High School. He is still working full time for the Seattle Mariners, and some independant coaching as well... YES, he is extremely busy!

I am still at home with Brayden, loving every minute. Getting super excited for our upcoming vacation with my family down in Disneyland!! I cant wait!!

Holidays

So it has taken me a while to update, sorry! We had a great holiday season here, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year! Brayden enjoyed his first Christmas, and Jordan and I loved watching him take everything in! Crazy to think next year he will be 18 months!! He actually pulled on tissue and wrapping paper.. gave himself a paper cut even! = ) He received a lot of great presents, and loves playing with everything! From a basketball hoop, playtime ball drop jungle, vtech laptop, musical shapes cookie jar, blocks, ball, and much more. We all had a great time...Jordan and I even were able to make cookies on Christmas Eve! YUM! = )

Simply adorable! = )

So Brayden has been extremely vocal lately... letting out screams even when he is happy, constant hums, and jibber gabber! it is so cute, and ear piercing!! This is a funny video of him on Jordan's lap last night!

Brayden lately...

Brayden has been reaching fun and exciting milestones lately! He willl roll over on to his tummy, and back. Getting back is a little more of a challenge, but eventually will make it. He also cut his first tooth! It wasn't horrible, but he definately was a little more cranky, and lost some sleep. Hopefully the pain is gone.. probably just beginning for me if he bites!! Ouch!
He loves Mickey Mouse! It is soo cute to watch his face light up when it comes on in the morning! Which makes me even more excited that we will be going to Disneyland in February with my family!! I can't wait!! Even though he won't remember anything, to watch him get so excited now.. it will be even better in February!
Brayden is almost 6 months now! Time is flying by! We have a Dr.'s appt just after the first of the year and I will now his weight and length for sure.. but I would say he is probably around 17-18lbs, and about 28in. Growing boy with a good appetite! I hope he stays this good of an eater! = )
Jordan is working harder than ever! I am so thankful to have him!! Unfortunately he has been battling a cough for more than a month now! They say it is Restricted Airway Disease..which is like Asthma.. but his medicine hasn't been a help at all... so I think something else might be going on.. Hopefully he gets better soon.. but with our 17 degree weather, the cold air makes it worse!
And me... I am doing good.. wishing I got more sleep! = ) Brayden definately keeps me busy!! He is going through the stage where he doesn't let me leave a room without getting upset.. makes getting things done a bit harder.. but I love him so much, he can follow me anywhere!! (well...of course I take him) lol
These are just some pictures from this past month...

Thanksgiving

So it has been a while since I posted... Things have been sorta crazy busy lately. We'll go back to Thanksgiving to start! = ) Thanksgiving was good! We spent it here with Jordan's family. Had tons of food! Brayden enjoyed his baby sweet potatoes! = )We were able to catch a decent family photo! Jordans head got cut off... but Brayden was smiling!
