Ok ALREADY! Here's an update! *new pics as of 2/11*

Here are a couple more superbowl pics:

You can almost see his little molars in the back if you look close!! He has 12 teeth now, 8 in front & 4 molars....

This is Brayden's buddy, Noah, sporting Brayden's steeler jersey! (and our friends Suzanne & Keith)

Brayden and I went for a walk the other day when it was 50 degrees out!!

Kitty in his new favorite place to hide from Brayden:

This weekend we decided to take Brayden to one of those indoor activity centers to blow off some steam.... Learned 2 lessons REAL FAST: I need to go on a diet, and NEVER never never should you put a digital camera in your back pocket and proceed to sit/slide/climb, etc. :( needless to say, I broke our digital camera, so I was only able to salvage a few pictures from our time there.

...forgot to mention that we got a new camera the next day, so NO WORRIES!!! The blog won't go long without updates (as long as i keep posting!!)

and one more pic for blackmail!!! hehehe

This was from a few weeks ago when we had a birthday party for the guys in our fam... While the ladies were cooking (and the gentlemen were GABBING) Brayden was entertained by veggie tales!

Super Bowl Sunday!

Here we go, STEELERS, here we go! **

It was so nice out this afternoon, we HAD to get out and blow off some steam- in our Steeler garb, of course!

Brayden & his "Teddy"

watching veggie tales!

B & derek's boss, Johnny, @ dinner the other night! :-p

**more superbowl pics to come!

MORE pics!

Auntie and Uncle Todd came to visit (and babysit while I was "on assignment") on Thursday and we had tons of fun!! We did a A LOT of dancing; here are Natalie and Brayden breakin it down...



*BTW- as I told a few of you, I was assigned to coat check at this latest party that we catered. I was dissapointed (a doctor taking coats?? ...I know, I know. You don't even have to say it because I am happy for the extra money!) but, it ended up working out to my advantage because I made a ton of tips! None of the other girls made tips, except the bartenders, so I'm glad I went!!

Brayden LOVES this wooden animal "puzzle" and can actually put the animals in the correct positions! I swear I'm not bragging, I'm just impressed that he can do that already!



Since we actually had a day above subzero temps yesterday (50!!) we decided to check out the snow. This is Brayden's first real encounter with snow, and this is as close to it as he got... just wasn't interested this time! Next snow we'll put on the snow suit while it's snowing and dig right in! ;)



What a cutie!! Just outside our apartment running around!

PITTSBURGH'S GOIN TO THE SUPERBOWL!

Just a few more pics from this week...

UPDATE:

A picture that speaks volumes...

With the change in presidents today, I had a moment of reflection in my short life... I like to think that my generation has been brought up without as much influence on skin color as generations in the past, and can only imagine Brayden's future! wow...

Here we go, Steelers. Here we go!



B with his Terrible Towel!!


Just like the cat, why do we even spend money on expensive toys?? He's most content playing in a box or with tissue paper!! :)


Just gotta squeeze kitty in with daddy and B for a cozy fit! :)



True blue innocence.... I LOVE this kid!!


Have to share this story with you... Yesterday, Brayden and I went in to Derek's office over lunch to visit and so I could get some treatment (after straining my back bringing the new car seat up the stairs while talking on my cell phone... what did we learn here???)

Anyway, it was about 2 o'clock when we left home and we didn't get back until 8:15!! In 2 hours, 3 inches of snow fell in Doylestown, and the entire place was practically disabled!!! Cars were only driving 5 MPH and sliding everywhere! It took me an hour to go 2 miles, so Brayden and I ended up just pulling over and playing in CVS for an hour until Derek came to get us. Because the roads were still horrible, we tried the restaurant next door to the CVS and then decided to try the trek home.... another HOUR later, we finally made it the rest of the FIVE miles home!! ....At least we know that Brayden can sleep in his new car seat! :-/

....We aren't in upstate NY anymore Dorothy!!! :( These folks around here just don't know how to handle the white stuff....

...And to think I needed to fill this basket with something after taking out the winter greens from christmas....

Pictures

I have a few pics that I've been delayed in downloading, so here they are:

For New Years Eve, Josh and Kristine came to visit!! We had quite a spread of delicious snacks, 5 bottles of champagne & played a LOT of Sequence... (for some reason I can't remember who won, but I DO remember that the boys CHEATED by talking about cards/moves- it didn't even matter if the sequences were "natural!" ...lol, joke between the Miller's)

Mmmmm... CHAMPAGNE!

As requested, here a some pictures of just a FEW of Brayden's new christmas outfits. He surely is the CUTEST, MOST ADORABLE child in the world, I KNOW, but YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM! ;-)

Adorable PSU binky!!

Playing with his Hess truck!

***Forgot to mention the latest updates in Brayden's world!!

He loves putting puzzles peices in their respectable spots (remarkable to me at this age!), he puts blocks in a bucket then dumps them only to put them back in again for 15 minute increments, and throws blocks down the steps for the cat to chase (video to come soon)

Words he says and/or understands:

Kitty ---- "geetee" or "geeeee"

Daddy--- "dada"

Uh oh---- "oh oh"

Pop-pop- "Poppop" or "pop-pop-pop" ;)

Bath----- "a-Ba" (he understands "Brayden, do you want to take a Bath?" and repeats "a Ba?")

Ball----- "Ba"

Light---- "Ba"

Juice---- "Ba"

Plus he Mooo's when he sees a cow

...hehe, it's so funny that "Ba" to him can mean so many different things. Its like he thinks he's saying what I'm saying!

Brayden's Michael Jackson Tribute for Dane

This is the best yet... Brayden is really into dancing these days, here's an example from this evening:

This one is from a few days ago, but he just LOVES this dancing frog... too bad after the batteries died this weekend, there must have been an electrical issue as well, because it doesn't sing anymore! I SWEAR there was no mommy sabotage!!!

*Gulp, Ahh!*

This is Brayden's new thing -a real LOL- we just had to share.... hahaha!

This kid is just FULL of smiles, here are a few from the last few days (even with that new molar coming thru!!)

My Little man is growing up so FAST!

The trouble he got into while I was in the shower this AM:

EVERY tissue from a NEW box pulled out into a "snowy winter wonderland!" All you can do is laugh... :) at least he's not into anything dangerous!!
