A Bunch of First's

Brayden has had a lot of firsts lately!  I have been so bad a blogging lately so here goes:

 First tooth February 26, 2010.  He now has two and is working on number three!  He is not a happy teether.

Brayden is quite the little mover lately.  He didn't roll or do anything until he hit 5 months.  Then at six months he has been moving like crazy.  He is crawling and sitting and like to do the "Bear Stand".  He can't actually the the bear crawl.  

 This is his favorite thing to do lately.  He loves looking at his toes while he's standing.

He loves his new sippy.

Dr. Suess Week

Last week Hailey's school celebrated Dr. Suess. They had crazy sock day, crazy hair day, inside out day, and ended the week with a green eggs and ham party. She was so excited to go to school. Now, the only books she wants to read are Dr. Suess. I love that she loves them. I have been waiting for her to start enjoying the books. I loved them when I was young. Now as I read them as an adult I realize he taught so many morals with many of his stories. Thanks Dr. Suess for making reading fun!

Brayden is growing up too fast.

I can't believe it's been six months!  Brayden is doing all the stuff a six month old would do, and I just thought I'd post some funny pictures.  He hasn't been to his six month check up yet so I don't have his stats yet.

Potty Trained!!!

YAY!  I'm so happy that Jackson has reached this milestone.  We started potty training a few weeks ago and Jackson has done great.  Just a few accidents and he even wakes up at night if he needs to go!

Way to go Jack!!! We are so excited for you!

Valentines Day

Okay I know Valentine's Day has been over for awhile, but since it's one of my favorite holidays I had to post about what we did and a new tradition I want to start.

Valentine's Day at our house is about our whole family since Bo and I try to have a date night every week. Of course we write a special note to eachother, but it's fun to have everyone included. This year I thought it would be nice for each member of our family to make a valentine for every other member. Then we'd read our cards at dinner. In the afternoon all of the kids decorated their valentine's and one at a time went into a room with me to secretly tell me what they wanted on their card. They were so cute.

We decided to go to Pizza Pie Cafe' for dinner. (I took the camera, but Brayden was not too happy so i totally forgot about that...sorry.) Since we were out to dinner, we read our cards in the car while driving (next year we'll do it before we go.) The kids loved it and you could see how special they felt when they heard what everyone wrote to them.

Oh, I just love Valentine's Day and my family I get to share it with!
