Sisterly love.

What a wonderful big sister.

Braxton - 11 months old

Only a few weeks left and my little guy will be 1! Yes, the year has flown by for everybody. He is a very busy little guy who gets into everything! He loves to play with his sister and will follow her everywhere and do whatever it takes to get her full attention! He is standing on his own and taking a few steps on his own as well....I'm not sure he will walk I think he will run! He has been eating adult/table food for two months now, no problem there! He loves sausage and he is a meat and potatoes guy! He has been saying 4 words now......"Mom","Dad", "All done", and of course "Num Nums"!
Mmmmm, strawberry waffer cookie!

Shush, don't tell Bella... I love to sneak in a sip or two!

Always a happy bear!

Good day Mr. Sunshine! Always happy after a nap!

Big hugs for Dad

Always a giggle when with mom....someone's a momma's boy

Kidlets, if you keep watching the tv that close
you are going to end up with
coke-bottle glasses just like your mom!
Bella loves to lay and cuddle with Brax
when he has his bedtime bottle!
So cute!
