Breakfast with Santa

Kate, Emily and Will went to the Young Chefs Academy today for Breakfast with Santa. They helped prepare and cook Royal Ham and Eggs and French toast. They were both yummy! Santa came to visit while we were there. Kate was excited to see him and didn't hesitate to sit in his lap.

Fruity Cherrios

Braden had fun with his Fruity Cherrios today. He had to place them on his head before he ate them. I think he forgot about the last one, but Baxter helped out when he got down.

Fun at the Mall

After visiting Santa at the mall today Kate and Braden had fun at the new indoor play area. Kate sat on Santa's lap this year...yeah!!! Braden liked looking at Santa, but wasn't very excited to sit with him.

Fun at Home

The other day during "rest time" Kate and her dolls were very busy. When I asked what all the dolls were doing, Kate replied "handstands!"


Braden loves playing with Kate's piano. It used to be one of her favorite toys, too.

Braden thinks it's more fun to get in the toy basket to play.

Happy Halloween!

Braden's 1 year appointment

Braden and Dr. Blevins

Braden had his one year check up yesterday. He is such a big boy!! He weighs 23 lbs 2 1/2 oz (55%), is 30 1/2 inches long (74%), and his head measurements are in the 100th percentile. We think he is still having some reflux issues so he is having an upper GI test done on Nov. 2nd to try to determine what's going on.

New Pictures!

Braden (1) and Kate (almost 4)


We had Braden's one year picture taken today and some of him with Kate. They both did great!

Braden's Celebration

We celebrated Braden's birthday last night with pizza and cake. He loved them both!!
