Back in the saddle.....

Sorry for the delay, I've received many angry messages and even a few fat lip threatenings....but we took Braeden to Arizona to visit my parents and the NFL started and NHL preseason started....etc.

Anyhow, this first pick is an outfit that we picked up for the little nugget in AZ - he seemed to enjoy it from the get-go!















Now that he can sit up and is more aware of his surroundings, Braeden has changed his perch preference to my neck. Great for him to see everything, not so great for me and my arthritic back.
















Ahhh bedtime.....I can remember not too long ago when we would put Braeden to bed, he would actually go to sleep - we snapped this picture after listening to him bang his pacifier on the crib for 20 minutes. Good times.
















Did I mention Braeden is now mobile? He enjoys chasing the vacuum, finding things to throw at his father and generally making a mess of the place. I guess he's kind of like a dog now, a really cute dog.....but nonetheless......

Keepin' it reals

I don't know, maybe it's the music Talia listens to......

Cool Guy Squad

For someone who can't even stand yet, he sure has figured out how to accessorize pretty well. Apparently party time happens even before you are served your first Pina Colada.

Giggles and Wobbly Cameras

Dunk, Eat, Sleep - everyone should live like this kid.

First time in the pool - Braeden seemed to like it; although like his father he sunk like a rock.















It won't be long now before he is feeding himself.....he already grabs the spoon and crams it in his mouth.
















Swimming and eating takes a lot out of a little guy......

Apparently winning isn't everything

Mr. B didn't seem to mind that the Sox got worked last weekend - I guess when you're this cool, you can't understand why anyone would root for another team.

That and he isn't a 35 year old mouth breather from Iowa who watches the Cubs on WGN in his parents basement after he gets home from a long day of work at the gas station.....so how could he not smile?!!?

Grabby and Giggly

Two things that Braeden loves most, being naked and attention.....he's in heaven here as Talia stuck him in the Bumpo seat and decided to have a photo shoot.
















I couldn't wait for him to figure out how to hit the little bird on his bouncer seat - but now that I have to hear the noise it makes every ten seconds, you're bound to find the little bird on State street sometime soon.

















Dude grabs everything, paper, t-shirts, his pants, my ear, Talia's hair.....here is a picture of him with his latest prize.
