staying busy as usual

Braeden is now 1 month old and what a sweetheart he is! He is now probably close 10 1/2 lbs and starting to outgrow his newborn clothes :( It is great that he is now putting on weight and is no longer jaundice - he had what is called breast milk jaundice so I stopped nursing for a day and gave him formula and it is so much better! He takes a bottle really well and TJ enjoys feeding him occasionally. He is now in his own room at night and slept a 6 hr chunk last night so hopefully we can keep growing on that (who knows). We have been staying busy and Braeden fits right in doing so well on our travels (all local so far). He does well in his car seat for the most part unless he is hungry then he looses it! I LOVE MY MOBY WRAP as does Braeden.

Terrace is doing better with the adjustment (or we are doing better with her adjustment). She is learning to help with his binky and blanket and loves picking out his outfits. Most days she is pretty protective over him.

for those interested, I am now uploading the larger version of the pictures so you can click on them to make them larger and should be able to print them.

Puzzles puzzles puzzles - you can find TJ doing puzzles multiple times a day since Braeden was born!


Bedtime story - Braeden is always so calm and quiet in Brad's arm


I think this is so sweet _ Braeden looking up at Brad



Dottie came up to help us and visit 2 weeks in a row and it was WONDERFUL! I did not hardly touch a dish or cook the whole time and we ate SO WELL! She was a great 2nd pair of hands and eyes around the house and while we ran errands. THANK YOU THANK YOU!

A couple of our friends came over and brought us lunch last week. I have known this little girl since she was 3 or 4 months old and now she is 4 and so good with Braeden - thank you M and I!


so sweet -


Braeden's friends - the boy next to B is 2 months old and the little girl is 4 months and we did not plan the matching outfits.


My parents came up this weekend and we had a great time visiting. They stayed at a local condo so T and I went swimming and we had such a yummy dinner over there! My dad also got a lot of projects done for us around the house while I had time to get some of my to do list done. THANK YOU THANK YOU


our best effort to get a picture of both of them....


First smiles caught on camera - YAY! so cute


Terrace playing in her marching band she said - we went to the junior ski to sea parade on Friday so I think that is where she came up this
