Happy 2 month birthday Brayden!!

Today is Braydens's 2 month birthday. To celebrate, we started the day with a bath and a photo session. I wanted to take some photos for some Valentine cards. The photo session was not as successful as I would have liked. I may wait until Dad comes home to lend a hand.

A new tradition & end of a cloth diaper era

So we decided not do stockings this year due to new baby and the purchase of a new plasma & camcorder. To tide us over until next year, we decided to do Valentine goody bags ( yes these look very similar to those at pottery barn, yet these are not quite as fancy). Hopefully it will be a tradition that Brayden looks forward to as much as mom will. Last week was our last week of the weekly cloth diaper service. It was pretty costly and we did not use them as much as we thought. It was fun while it lasted, with the exception of day 6 & 7 when the bin was full. To stay somewhat green, we will try and use some all in one diapers that were given to us by our friend Leslie. As you can see, they may not fit the little man for very much longer.

Good morning

Like my newly developed double chin?

Likes and Dislikes

At almost 7 weeks Brayden is definitely forming an opinion on what he likes and does not like.


Likes-

• Soothie pacifiers. Green color only. Any other color makes for restless sleeping.

• Running around with no diapers on ( thanks to grandma Judy for that one).

• Sleeping in mom and dads bed. Trying to "babywise" ourselves right out of that landmine.

• Looking out the window from his changing changing table. ( Diaperless an extra plus!)
• Eating
  

Dislikes-
Cloth Diapers at night
Not being held
Hooray!!! I am almost 7 weeks!

Smiles and a instant Charger fan

Brayden has been offering lots of smiles lately but it has been hard to capture with a camera. Here was our latest effort.

New Years in Big Bear

We went to Grandpa and Grandma's cabin for New Years. We had lots of fun.

Hiking and gathering firewood.

Happy New Year! XOXO- Sandy, Tony and Brayden!

Merry Christmas

To Celebrate Christmas Eve, Grandma invented her own version of "pin the tail on the donkey" involving Santa and some jingle balls. She got lots of amusement twirling everyone around blindfolded after lots of food and drinks. I decided to sleep this one out until next year.
