Blake's 1st Father's Day!

Blake had a great 1st Father's Day yesterday! The day started with Brax and I going to get him coffee (his typical routine on Sat & Suns with Brax!) ... which was more work than I expected, so I'm eager to let him have his job back! Then we had breakfast, Blake did some yard work, we ran errands, and topped off the evening by making a homemade veggie pizza! Ohhhhh was it delicious!! And of course, had to go to Dairy Queen for Blizzards!

Below is a pic and video of Braxton eating. He is doing this new thing where he blows rasperries when you put a bite of food in. Well this time it backfired, and he blew before the food was in his mouth, so he blew it up off the spoon and it went backwards and landed on his face! HA - serves him right! Blake and I wear 1/2 of his dinner each night! Had to capture this :)

Love you Braxers!!!

Jumping in June

Hey, everyone! June has been a really fun month! This is my FAVORITE age for Brax! He has so much personality and is so fun ... but still not mobile! YAY! :) ...he loves to babble now (started on this 7 month bday) and says "dadadadadadadadadadada" all the time with a very stern look on his face! I wish he'd say "mama" more, but at least that was his first word!

He had his first ride in the big boy seat at Target! I was so proud! I basically walked around the store just taking pics of him in the cart and forgot half the stuff on our list! Oh well ;) The other pics are some I snapped of him playing! When we get up in the morning we spend time playing with all his toys, then use the afternoons to go on walks and run errands! Mommy gets to watch the Today show that way ;)

I also love the pics of Blake and his parent's dog, Winston. They were watching Baby Einstein together. How cute!!!

Mine and Blake's favorite new pastime is badminton! We have it set up in the backyard and when Brax goes to sleep Blake and I go out and challenge each other! It's really fun for us to do ... and he gets to see my superb athletic skills. Or something like that ... :) There is a pic of Blake showing off his mad jumps. Yes honey, you're amazing.

Below are a couple of vidoes too! Brax loves to bang anything he can get his hands on together, but for some reason he was a little shy when I put the camera on him. Better get over that one kid!
