Well, I pretty much ignore my xanga site now that I spend more time on facebook.  But, here's some recent pics...

We went to the zoo and Braylon LOVED it!

It wore him out to ride around in a stroller all day!

Braylon's trying to walk and is getting close!

He loves to play this game:  I say, "How big is Braylon? and he puts his arms up when I say, "Soooo big!" :)

It's been two months, where do I start??

I really shouldn't wait so long to post, because I don't know what to tell about and what to leave out!  The most exciting thing that happened is that we moved!!  We are so thrilled to be in this house!  It's a rental house that became available at just the right time and in the right way- we're very grateful!  We now have 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms, a nice laundry room, two car attached garage, and a full basement that provides wonderful storage!  Those are the best characteristics of this house. Braylon's getting so big.  He sits by himself and now has 6 teeth!  Here's a bunch of pics...

He discovered how to tear apart my folded laundry piles- isn't he too young for that??

Trying to eat a whole loaf of bread

Here's a few of his 6 month pics.  I just took a pic of the real pics so these aren't the clearest

We've had some major wind and rain storms, which brought this beautiful double rainbow!

This rabbit sat in our yard for the longest time watching me through the window!

Lyndon's family visited us several times which is always fun!

Braylon's first Christmas!

I must say, this Christmas was extra exciting for me.  It just adds extra anticipation when facing a Christmas with a child, and I know it'll get way more fun the older Braylon gets.  I was almost more excited to see what his gifts were than my own!   He got more into the unwrapping than I expected, although his attention span isn't too long!  We spent Christmas day with my family, and then on Friday we went to Middlefield to be with Lyndon's family for the weekend.  I have a ton of pics, so I hope I don't bore you! 

First of all, a few weeks ago we went bowling, and Braylon was amazed at all the sights and sounds!

Christmas Morning at our house...

Christmas afternoon at my sister's house with my family...we dressed Braylon and Mason alike and posed them together- it was quite a funny!

This one cracks me up- I just wish I could know what's going thru their heads!

Braylon's starting to beat up on Mason if he gets the chance!

The Day after Christmas- having our Christmas with Lyndon's family...

Proud Grandma...

We got four generations of Kauffman men together...

We got an interesting pic of all four of their hands.  Will those tiny soft fingers actually be rough and wrinkled someday??

All the grandkids (except Lyndon and his brother Travis) and Braylon- the only great-grandkid

Braylon gets so spoiled when we visit Grandpa and Grandma Kauffmans!!  But, I don't mind!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

It's Christmas Time Again...

I almost can't believe how the time has flown!  We've been living in PC for over7 months, and Braylon is almost 6 months already!  It wasn't very long ago that he was a newborn!  Here's a few "Braylon Pics".  This first one is so typical!  He loves sticking his tongue out!

It's so fun to watch his bond with Lyndon grow!  At first they're so dependent on Mommy, but he now gets really excited when Lyndon walks into the room!

The newest excitement in Braylon's life is getting his first two teeth.  They finally popped through a few days after Thanksgiving.  He had started teething around 5 weeks old!

Here are a few pics of some of my adorable nieces and nephews.  The first pic is Brooklyn and Kylie being goofy.

And here's Mason- Braylon's buddy!

We got our tree set up, and Braylon was just totally enthralled with the lights!

Two of my sisters and I got together to bake Christmas cookies.  It was quite an event with 3 adults and 7 kids ages 6 and under!  But we had lots of fun! 

This is Denver and Brooklyn (Dev's kids) and Isaac (Courtney's son)

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas season!

More of the Same...

Braylon's getting so big- and just acting so much older!  He's really enjoying playing with little toys.  Here's some random pics...

He's starting to notice and reach for our food when we're eating.  This time he was sitting in his seat on our table while we ate and- after much concentration- he managed to get ahold of the dressing bottle!

So, we decided it's time we give him his first taste of baby cereal.  He HATED it!  I don't know if he didn't like the taste or if it was just such a foreign texture.  To all of you experienced moms- is this common??  I figured he's love it!  But, I couldn't help but laugh at his expresions!

Here's a pic of Lyndon in his fire gear.  He's really enjoying school more and more!

Mike and Dev and their family and Lyndon, Braylon, and I went to a park to take family pics for Christmas cards.  What do you think?

Well, that's about it for this time.  We're heading to Middlefield for Thanksgiving, so I hope to see all my friends and family up there soon!  Have a great Thanksgiving!
