Merry Christmas!

Doors

Brax sure enjoys opening and closing doors.  Look what he got into while I was putting away the dishes! Fun times!

Dragon

When Wade's mom went to San Francisco to visit Wade's brother, they got Brax these cute dragon socks before he was born along with another pair that are dragon claws.  These are quite fun.  It's like he has his own pair of 80's leg warmers!

Brax's New Friend

Brax's nanny gave him this lion for Christmas.  Brax thinks it's pretty funny especially when I make the lion move and roar.  It will be fun to see how he interacts with it as he grows up.

Cutest Reindeer Around

I ordered the reindeer hat from Target just to meet a minimum on an order to get a 20% coupon.  I'm glad I did because Brax has gotten many compliments on it.  Then, Wade's dad and Mary Beth sent Brax this cute first Christmas reindeer outfit.

Standing Up

Along with crawling around everywhere, Brax has started to stand up.  He can pull up on his walker, the couches, on us, the chairs, and steps.  Here he is at the bottom of the stairs.  Just as Wade was saying, "He can't make it up to the next one," Brax put both feet up to the next stair, but couldn't quite hold himself there.  Gate #2 will have to be put up soon.

Matching Outfits

When our friends had their baby, River, I got Brax and River matching football outfits and socks.  We went out to brunch this morning to watch football, and they wore their outfits.  The boys have grown so the outfits were a little bit of highwaters on them.  River weighs 12.5 pounds at two months, and Brax is 16.5 pounds at ten months.  River is quite a cute little chub and will probably be passing up Brax and his chicken legs soon.  River wasn't too happy about getting his picture taken, and Brax tried to calm him down.
