Cousins, Cousins, Cousins

We got to meet the 3rd of 4 babies born last summer/fall in my family.  It was so fun to see all of the kiddos together.  Avery & Noah were born late July, Cecilia was born late August & Brayden middle October.

 

Maddie is the big cousin here and then the little ones: Brayden, Cecilia, Avery

 

 

 

Cecilia, Brayden, Avery….these babies are hard to catch together in one pic!!

 

 

 

Cecilia, Brayden & Avery…not sure what Brayden is doing to Cecilia here!

 

 

 

Brayden must be telling a great story here!  L-R: Cecilia, Brayden & Avery

 

 

 

And….there goes Noah!  Like a flash!!

Can’t wait for the next time we can get all of the little ones together!  There’s more little ones that didn’t get in these pics and that weren’t able to make it.  These cousins are going to have so much fun growing up together!

 

 

 

 

Earlier in the day, Brayden was showing off his “cool” side, in Mommy’s shades!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Later that night, he was being such a goofball…giving Mommy lots of love!  His kisses are the best!

WaterBaby

Grandma Greta took the afternoon off to hang out with us at their lake.  We put Brayden in this “water walker” and he seemed to really like the freedom!  That’s one cool baby, I think!

Playdate in the Park

B & E having a little fun at the park!  As you can see Brayden didn’t want to stay still.  Elouise is not too far behind him, I’m sure!  It has been so much fun to watch these two grow up these past 8  months.  We’ll keep our playdates as long as we can, neither of the mommies are too anxious to get back to work!  Ha!

FIRST Daddy’s Day!

Chris celebrated his first official Father’s Day this weekend.  We went to Grandma & Grandpa Westvig’s on Saturday for breakfast & lunch.  Unfortunately, the weather did cooperate like we wanted, but it was fun to have the whole family together.  Brayden loves watching his cousins run around!  On Sunday, we spent the day just our little family. 

 

Of course the weather was beautiful on Sunday, so we filled up our little pool and let Brayden splash a little.  He loved it!

8 crazy months!

Can you believe it?  Brayden is 8 months old now!  That is just crazy!  He is crawling around like crazy, it’s very hard to keep him in one place for too long.  CRAZY BOY!!

This month’s stats:

21 lbs 3 oz – 75th percentile

27 1/2” – 50th percentile

 

 

As you can see in the next few pictures, he doesn’t stay in one place for very long, and is getting into EVERYTHING!  Gotta love the little guy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking out the window….and trying to get the camera!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can’t believe how big he looks in this picture!  And, yep, he pulled himself up to this position all by himself.  Is walking far away?  We have to baby-proof this house ASAP!

Stephany Family Cabin Weekend

We headed up north yet again this weekend, this time to Chris’ aunt & uncle’s cabin in Minocqua, Wisconsin. 

 

Aunt April & Uncle Evan with little B, looks like they had a lot of fun playing with him.

 

 

 

Grandma Deb & B walking on the beach, he didn’t mind the sand between his toes at all!

 

 

 

He is truly his Mommy’s little boy….LOVES the water!!

 

 

 

 

Just chillin’ with Auntie April….

 

 

This is one naked baby…luckily he’s covered up by a towel!!

 

 

 

 

Crazy old car in Minocqua where we had lunch one day.  Brayden was quite the little trooper as always!
