First hair cut

BEFORE

AFTER

Tina had just wet his hair and was getting ready to take the first cut and I said, "WAIT! I have to get a before and after picture".

To bad we didn't get a during picture. It was not pretty. He screamed and cried. When she was all done he was right back to smiles.

Christmas

Cousin Mary and Braydon having a good time together. I think that Braydon really took a liking to Mary. (Can't wait to see you guys again soon)!

Hey Everyone! Check out my new walker!!!! :-)

He hasn't really gotten the hang of it yet, but I'm sure he will in time. Right now he just kicks his feet and plays will all the cool toys.

Christmas

Braydon loved the paper more than anything else.

Grandpa trying to teach Braydon how to open presents.

I think that Daddy was WAY more excited about the present than Braydon was.

Thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful gifts!!!!!

Mmmmmm Tasty remote

Braydon doesn't put much of anything into his mouth except his pacifier, bottle/sippy cup, burp cloth and for some reason the remote control for the TV.
Tasty

Visit from the Lessman family

Travis and Rachel and their three boys came over for dinner and to play.
Braydon had no idea what was going on he sat on the floor and watched Dalton and Carter run through the house. I almost think he could have sat there all night if we would have let him.

This is Dillon their youngest he is only 6 months old but he is almost just as big as Braydon.

Dillon 20 lbs

Braydon 23 lbs

.......WOW!!

SANTA!!

Braydon LOVED Santa, this year anyway. He smiled so big. I thought for sure he was going to kick and scream.

**Hopefully he will be this happy to see the Easter Bunny**

Basket of toys

If we set Braydon on the floor with the basket of toys next to him.....in less
than two minutes he has every single toy that was in the basket scattered on the floor around him, with a big smile on his face.

Learning how to stand

We have now found if we sit Braydon next to his exasaucer, he will pull himself up to a standing position. He is still pretty wobbly but he is getting it. His feet start to slide a part and he doesn't quite know how to get them back together.

Braydon in motion pulling himsef up.

He is just such a happy baby! How did we get so lucky!!!

Visit to Great Great Aunt and Uncle's house

Great Great Uncle Roy. He is my Dad's Great Uncle.

And this is Great Great Aunt Mary.

They LOVED to see Braydon. They showered him with lots of hugs and kisses. He was in a great mood all day, lots of laughing and he even showed them his verbal skills by repeatedly saying da da da da da.

Grandma's wedding

Grandma, Me, and my new Grandpa, Mark.




The "new" family: My Dad, my Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, Me (Braydon), Uncle Adam, Uncle Jacob, Uncle Tyler, and Uncle Jordan.
****Look how proud my new Uncle Adam looks!****

Awwww. What a happy couple.

We are so happy for the two of you!

Love the Fonstad Family

I can say "DA DA"

Braydon's first word is Da Da! He started saying it on Thursday night (Nov. 6 I will have to write that in his baby book).

I can't be to upset, at least he is talking. We are soooo proud! I can't belive I actually caught him saying it on camera. He says it much better now, after a couple days of practice.

You can hear him say it in this video.

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Our little monkey! When I saw this costume I told Greg, "I have to have it. Braydon would look so darn cute in it".

Braydon and Garrett both were not liking the whole costume thing, they wanted OUT of those things.

I think they were in their costumes just long enough to get these pictures.

Mom... Dad.... Why are you doing this to me?!?!?!

CUTE just dosen't do it for this little monkey man. He is ADORABLE!!!

Pickin' Pumpkins

When we went to visit aunt Kari and cousin Garrett, we also made a trip to the pumpkin patch. Both boys were very curious about those big orange things.


The little picture of Braydon sitting in the wagon turned out really good considering what happened right after the picture was taken.
When I stepped back for Kari to snap the picture with out me in it, Braydon must have thought that something was funny because he laughed and threw his head back and fell over smacking his head on the side of the METAL wagon. Talk about feeling horrible. He only cried for a little while, but that whole time he cried and well after he was done crying I still felt extremely bad. He didn't get a goose egg or even a red spot. I think it scared him more than anything.

6 Month wellness check

Braydon had his 6 month check-up on Thursday. Here are his stats....
18 lbs 3oz He is in the 95 percentile for weight
26 in. In the 75 percentile for hight.

We have got our selves a healthy BIG boy! Doctor says he looks great.

6 Month pictures

I love this picture, he just looks so cuddly!

6 Month cont...

These are my nieces Kaylin and Kelsi and my nephew Kameron



Braydon was AWFUL for his pictures. He was crabby and would not smile for anything. Oh well we still got a lot of really cute pictures.

Being tickled

We were on our way home from Warrens and Braydon was in a very talkative mood. So my friend Ashley and I were tickling him and he was laughing and gurgling at us and we decided to record him.

First Parade

Braydon attended his very first parade. We were at Warrens Cranberry Festival. He was very happy through the whole thing. I think his favorite part was the marching bands because of their brightly colored uniforms.
