Cousin Love

We were happy to be able to spend a little bit of time with Travis, Colette, Ashlee, Jackson, and Landen. Braxton was happy to have other people to stare at besides me. :)

Braxton's Playmat

Braxton got an early present from his Grandma Jane that he loves! I told her I would post some pictures of him with it; I did even better by filming it. Thank you Grandma Jane!

Daddy Time

Braxton was happy to have some Daddy time over Thanksgiving break. I was grateful to have Patrick home to help me fix our dishwasher and to get to spend some extra time with him.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is the only picture we managed to take on Thanksgiving day with Braxton in his little outfit. After that I set down my camera and couldn't figure out where I put it. We were blessed to get to go to my parents house and spend time with Brett, Eve, my aunt and uncle and one of my cousins. We had great food and a great time together!

Splish splash I was takin' a bath!

So these are not the greatest bath pictures ever because we could NOT get him to look at the camera, but he's still cute anyway. Braxton absolutely loves taking baths! Thank goodness for Aveeno calming bath bubbles! Love them and so does Braxton!

Family Pictures

Well, we FINALLY had some family pictures taken. Here is the only one that I can upload and it's probably a bit blurry. All in all the photo shoot was a success because Braxton didn't scream or do any super pouty faces.

Landen and Braxton meet....

Don't they just look so happy? They played together for about a half hour. At one point Landen grabbed and held Braxton's hand. It was SO cute but the camera was not fast enough. It was so fun for the cousins to meet and they looked so happy playing with each other.

More Smiles

Attempting to get him to smile...

We finally got a small one
Holding his head up so well on his tummy :)

More faces of Braxton...

Braxton is barely starting to learn how to smile back at you. Here are some attempts at trying to get him to smile along with some of his other faces. He gets cuter by the day :)

Braxton Bartholomew

Our new family....
We were lucky to have some help from both my parents and Patrick's parents. They flew all the way from Virginia just to see baby Braxton.
The many faces...

Blessing day...outfit by mom :)

As many of you already know Braxton Bartholomew arrived on August 10th, 2010 after almost 30 hours of labor. He was 7lbs 12 oz. and 20 inches long. He is so cute and such a good baby. We are having a lot of fun with this little guy. At his two week check up he is in the 95th percentile for his height and missed gaining a whole pound by one ounce!
