So, um, yeah…Braydon is bald.  Chris accidentally put the wrong guard on the clippers last night and now Braydon has NO hair.  Poor guy.  Hopefully it will grow back soon. 

We took Braydon to an ear, nose and throat specialist on Friday because he’s had so many ear infections.  Ended up, he had an ear infection when we got there.  I had no idea.  Poor little guy, it will be so much easier when he can tell me when he hurts.  Anyhow, the doctor felt [...]

Braydon is so cute!  He crawled into the cabinet of our island this weekend and thought it was the funniest thing in the world! I’m not sure why we spend the money on toys when he can entertain himself with just about anything!!!

He has become quite the dare devil too… he climbs on everything!

It was just a quiet night at home with the family. Chris bought me flowers and chocolates and he got Braydon a balloon and a toy race car. He even let Braydon eat a piece of chocolate!

On Saturday we took Braydon to the Air and Space Museum in D.C.  We all had a great time.  As soon as we walked into the building, Braydon started making all his oohs and ahhhhs!  It’s so much fun showing him new things! The museum is in a hanger by Dulles Airport and has planes [...]

Friday night we tried to let Braydon cry it out when we put him to bed instead of rocking him to sleep.  He cried for 10 minutes and got so worked up that he vomited.  I don’t know what to do…any suggestions?????

Braydon had his 12 month check up this morning.  He only needed 2 immunizations this time: Chicken Pox Vaccine and Measles, Mumps & Rubella Vaccine.  I’m really proud of him he only cried until I picked him up and then he was done with the tears, he’s becoming such a big boy.  Here’s his stats:
Weight: 22.1 [...]

Happy birthday to the most wonderful dad.  Since I can’t spend the day with you, I’m sending lots of love.  I hope you have a wonderful day. Braydon sends a big hug too!

Monday night we took Braydon to Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday!  There were only a few rides he could get on but he had a blast running around and watching all the other children.  He didn’t seem to like Chuck E. too much, which I completely understand because the robotic Chuck E. is totally [...]

We celebrated B’s birthday this weekend and he had a blast!  Chris mom, brother and brother’s girlfriend came over to help us celebrate.   Braydon had a great time with everyone and LOVED all the toys he got too…are we surprised?!  Here are some pictures from the party!
