Our sweet nephew Auden turned one! Nathan and Becca put on one heck of a party. Not only was it at a park (Braxton's favorite). . .
They had wonderful decorations, delicious food...

Smiles
Last Saturday was such as wonderful, happy day. No reason in particular, other than my precious baby girl was in the best mood ever. From the moment she woke up from her morning nap until she went to sleep at night she didn't utter a single cry. She was so bubbly and talkative and smiley and cuddly and played by herself so well and was just a joy. I sure wish I knew what made the difference so I could do it more often.

Monster Truck Jam
What could be more fun for a two year old than a TRUCK JAM?!?! B-rax loved it, and Justin loved being with B-rax, so they were both happy. :)
B-rax, Jo Jo and Grandpa
Daddy and Braxton
Already practicing for when he is 16. I'm sure it will come all too soon!
This Kid Loves Hats
Hangin' with Aunt Lee Lee
(Note: This was taken after a traumatizing experience (hair cut!!), so he was given his binkie only for a moment to calm down...)
Braxton is such a big boy. He is talking more and more and often repeats things Justin and I say...it certainly makes me more cautious! I love hearing his take on the world. He is so smart and just loves to have fun. He is a ball of energy and has to be outside for at LEAST an hour a day or he goes stir crazy. He runs barefoot everywhere - i can't get him to wear his shoes for more than like 30 min before he is yanking them off again. He is in love with trucks, fishie crackers, his "baby whales" (bath toys), Dora, (he finally moved on from Little Bear!! Whew!) choo choo trains and anything sweet. I love it when he gives me smooches and tells me he loves me. There is nothing sweeter in the world.

I Love watching my children become friends. So often Braxton doesn't want to take a nap or is impatient with me getting him dressed or changing his diaper cause he wants to "Pway wif Bewa!" Unfortunately his idea of "play" is not always the most gentle...I feel like a broken record at times. "Braxton, be soft to your sister." " Braxton, don't kick your sister." "Braxton, don't run over Bella with your scooter." "Braxton, if you hit her one more time..." "Braxton, don't throw your toys at Bella." "Braxton, leave her hair alone please..."
And yet, she still idolizes him. What would the world be like if we could all have the heart and love of a babe?
Bella Rose, My Beautiful Flower
Has it really only been 8 months since this little beauty entered my life? It feels like she has held a piece of my heart forever.
She is so full of personality, every day is like opening a present to see what new quirk she will have.
She loves to be held and loved and cuddled with. She loves exploring and uses her mouth to test out EVERYTHING, putting anything and everything into it she comes in contact with. She is like a human vacuum cleaner. Great for the floor, bad for my baby. She loves singing and dancing to music and copying whatever her older brother is doing.
She is definitely a drama queen in the making! When she is mad or frustrated she starts crawling towards me then throws herself down on the floor and cries, then crawls a little further and throws herself down again, and will continue this until I notice her or pick her up. Its so funny I can't help laughing!
No teeth yet, but thats a good thing because I can't get her to take a bottle. She is definitely attached to me in more ways than one...
