Brayden watched his first vikings game with dad and sister today! I am not sure he knew what was happening but daddy was screaming at the tv alot and he didn’t like that. It was fun to get the kids in the vikings gear and take photos though.

Well, Brayden officially has a tooth as of September 5, 2011! I will try and get a photo of him with his one tooth but it may be hard. We will see what happens.

Well it is already August 2011. Brooke just turned two and Brayden is already 5 months old. Lots going on here. Aaron is still working at Wand Corp in EP at technical support and Lizzie is a teller supervisor at Kleinbank in Waconia. All is well.
Brooke is growing up so fast. She is learning a lot more everyday. She started talking a lot more this month also. She loves to say “where’s daddy, where’s gibson, no more, what’s that? and so much more. She is a blast to watch grow into a little lady. She also loves to run around everywhere. She will get burst of energy and just run and then stop. So funny.
Brayden is working hard on trying to figure out how to sit up on his own. He is a very smiley baby. Loves to play with his older sister, Brooke. He is also very long for his age. Big little man!

Mothers day. Our first as a family. We spent the morning with Aaron’s mom having lunch and celebrated with them. We went to Aaron’s grandma’s house and celebrated mothers day with them also. We peeked in at Lizzie’s mom’s work to say hello, since she had to work.

This year was brooke’s first easter. Daddy (aaron) had to work all day. Brooke and Lizzie went to Grandma Chinander’s for lunch and brought food home for dad. We also went to Grandpa Cochran’s place on saturday before easter to celebrate with them. Daddy had to work that day also.
She wasn’t feeling well. Very fussy and had fluid in her ears. Sad. Didn’t let anyone hold her.

Brooke is 8 months now!! She is 16.2 lbs and 27 inches. She is still working on crawling. She has started to pull herself up and walks around furniture. She gets better at it every day. She has 2 teeth on the bottom in the middle. She loves to be on her feet and walking around things. She is also very verbal. Screams and talks at her best bud, Gibson the dog. Talks to everyone walking by while out at stores too.

Brooke decided it was time for her to be mobile and started crawling the end of Feb/beginning of march. She doesn’t do a normal crawl, she does more of a army crawl. She mainly uses her arms and pushes off on her legs.

Brooke had her first tooth break threw today. It is the bottom, middle (right side). She is very sensitive to it still and won’t let anyone touch her gums. We are very excited. It is sad that she isn’t my baby girl anymore. But I am excited for her. She is growing up!

Well. She is moving and moving. She started crawling the end of February and never looked back. She is crawling or what we call the army crawl. She is starting to babble a lot more also. She knows that if she goes up to a person, they will pick her up or stand her up. She loves to have her hands help above her head so she can walk.

They are holding hands. I love that.

She figured out that she can go underneath the coffee table. She pushed everything out that was there. There isn’t anything there anymore.

This past saturday we went and got her six month photos taken. Maria, a co-worker from the St. Paul Photographers guild took them. She is an amazing photographer and does a great job with Brooke. I found out while I was there that she will be leaving the guild at the end of February. We talked though and she said she will be available to take her nine month photos in May. I am not sure where they will be taken though. As far as the photos go, Brooke looked awesome. She won’t take her hands out of her mouth though. So most of the photos are showing that. Darn teeth.
