Tumbling

Brax has been going to tumbling classes every Monday.  Since our nanny was in Mexico, and our backup was sick with the flu, I got to take the day off work and take Brax to tumbling.  He was quite proud of himself and wanted to make sure I saw everything he did!  Also, when they were doing stretches, the teacher asked, "What do you see in the sky?"  Brax said, "Hammerhead shark."  Then, she asked, "What do you want on your pizza?" and Brax said, "Cookies."

Hadley Pics

Here are a few pictures of Hadley eating a banana and blueberry along with her springtime outfit since it was almost 70 degrees today.

Golf

Wade took Brax golfing to a water driving range called Aquagolf.  Brax threw about twenty balls in the lake before actually hitting them.  He liked it so much he is going back tomorrow!

Swinging and Bouncing

Here are some videos of Brax swinging and Hadley bouncing.  Brax loves to go visit his friend Reegan and swing.

8 Months

February 15, 2016

You are now eating breakfast and dinner.  You seem to like most of the foods that we give you especially your baby num nums.

We celebrated Braxton's third birthday.  You didn't know what to think of all the visitors.

You have two bottom teeth.  You get a rash around your mouth from your extra drool especially after you have a bottle or nurse.

You are roll over and can turn in a circle to get what you want.  You can scoot backwards, but haven't started crawling, yet.

You go to bed around 7:30.  You get up around 5:30 to eat and up for the day around 7:30.  

You take a 45 minute nap in the morning and a nap for a few hours in the afternoon.

You sit up for short periods of time by yourself.  We have to make sure we are nearby so you don't fall back and hit your head.

You like to make a laughing noise.

You like to babble.  Your favorite sound to make is "Dada."  I think you even know to say Dada when he comes home from work and you see him.

You love to watch Braxton.  You laugh and smile when he is near you.

You really like to bounce in your exersaucer.  

You have the cutest chubby cheeks and thighs.

You are still breastfeeding well. 

You are an easy baby.  You rarely get upset unless you are tired and around someone you don't really know.

You laugh and laugh when we tickle your stomach.

We love you and are so glad you are a part of our family!

Target Pictures

We went to Target to take some three year old pictures of Brax.  He was not very cooperative so we have a few more of Hadley than him.  We got a few cute ones of him still.

3 Years Old

My first baby is three years old!  I cannot believe he used to be a little baby.

A little about you...

You talk so much.  It is so fun to hear you say new things almost each day.  You even have a British accent sometimes that you got from watching Peppa Pig.

You love Hadley so much.  You always want to see her and want her around us.  You are always worried we are going to forget her when we go somewhere.  You really like to get in her crib with her and play.

You still like aquatic animals.  You recently have started to like dinosaurs and like to see them at the science museum.  You are having an ocean themed birthday.

You like cars.

You like to build things with blocks.

You can draw circles now and have drawn a person with legs, arms, a body, hair, eyes, and a mouth.

You like to marker.

You love to play chase and jump on the couches.

You are potty trained except for when you sleep.

Ever since we took the side off your crib, you have been sleeping in bed with us.  We got a Mickey Mouse tent bed, and you have been sleeping back in your room.

You are a picky eater.  You do like pizza, quesadilla, grilled cheese, chicken nuggets, corn dog nuggets, peanut butter, orange cups, pouches, and anything sweet especially chocolate.

You are a mama's boys still.  You do like to play downstairs with Daddy when I am putting Hadley to bed, but you want Mommy when you are upset.

You love to buy toys especially animal tubes from Hobby Lobby.

You go to school two days a week and spend the other days with Hadley and the nanny, Lauryn.

You have been taking tumbling classes.

You like to watch the computer and tv.  Your favorite show right now is Paw Patrol.

You are finally nice about sharing things when your friends come over.  You play with the neighbors- Luke, Eliza, Emmett, Reegan, and Mackenzie.

You want to stay in your pajamas all the time when you are at home.

You are such a happy boy, and we love you so so much!

Broncos Parade

Yesterday, Brax and Hadley got to go to the Broncos parade.  Wade got to watch it from his work office.  If kids missed school, it was an excused absence, but they didn't let teachers go so I missed out.  It was a beautiful day for the parade!  I'll have to add Wade's pictures when he gets them uploaded.

Go Broncos!

The Broncos won the Super Bowl!  It was the first time they won since I have been living in Denver, and the first Super Bowl wins for Hadley and Brax.  Pretty special since it was Hadley's first Super Bowl.  Wade was here when they won the last one.  However, this win was a little different of being at home with kids instead of out downtown.
