These Days...

Stephanie and I have always wondered how in the world they could get all the kids to actually eat together, AT A TABLE, IN CHAIRS!!!!! Well, B and I were running a little late today (he decided to sleep through the night all the way until 8 this morning!!!), so we arrived just as everyone was sitting down for breakfast. I wish you could all see just how small this table really is, it was too funny seeing them all sitting there, so well behaved, just eating their breakfast. The other day, they even had vege chilli???? How did they pull that off?




Notable things that brayden can now point at on demand....or in the general direction of anyway.....

• Fan (first thing he pointed at, not sure how he knew what it was)
• light
• tree
• ear
• nose (shocked me last night when i asked him, he grabbed my ear and then nose)
  
• mommy's phone
• jack
• sometimes shelby
  
• mommy (sometimes, hasn't pointed at daddy yet, but he likes to/for yell to me)
• his lovey (his favorite)
  
• grass
• sometimes balls
• stroller
• vacuum
  
• bike
• chapstick

so we've got the basics, time to fill in the gaps...

Can you say Pelé????

we've been working on the bicycle kick, buuut....he might need a few pointers from his uncle chris and his cousin rece first...

August Random Pics

Here are some random pics that we took in august.

Brayden found a new face. I went to pick him up at daycare a couple of weeks ago. He was across the room from me so he crawled over to me, about half way over he looked over, mid-crawl, and gave this face to a girl in his class, then kept crawling to me...


Here are the dogs assigned positions for dinner time, jack is really starting to like B...


Brayden is really starting to enjoy eating, he eats his own dinner and then will pick off our plates when we eat...


what can i say, the kid is just super silly...
