Swimming in May

We had some really nice weather mid-may so the swimming pool was set up for Brayden. Of course, he outgrew this pool, so he now has a bigger one which he is very excited about.

The boys and mom

This is Brayden's 'Chandler Smile' which he does whenever we ask him to smile.

Which one of us looks more tired?

Brayden 'helping' me feed Noah.

Brayden hangin' with Noah.

Brayden watching "Handy Manny" on TV. He is always asking dad if he can play with his tools. He has his own 'tools' which he loves to use, especially the hammer...which is frequently taken away from him due to him 'fixing' everything (aka banging on everything he sees).

Playing at the Park

Brayden loves to play at the nearby parks with his friends.

Brayden loves to tickle Noah and hear him laugh. Noah loves watching and listening to Brayden.

awwwww!

April 2008

Brayden loves being a big brother and smothers Noah with Hugs and kisses all day long....or at least whenever he's not throwing toys at him.

Noah is drooling like mad and constantly has something in his mouth, his hand, my hand, blankets, toys, and probably the cat if he got too close!

Camping at Silver Falls State Park

We went camping this past weekend at Silver Falls State Park, about 60 miles from our house. The weather forecast was supposed to be fairly nice, however it rained all weekend...or at least until we were packed up and ready to head home. We were able to sneak in a quick walk to one of the 10 waterfalls at the park, however.

Brayden spent much of the rainy weekend playing with his cars in the camper, while Noah watched from his bouncer.

Brayden and Noah love to be near each other. Brayden is looking foward to when Noah is big enough to play with. He already tries to get Noah to play with cars.

The Sunday morning comics and juice; life couldn't be better....now, if only I could read......

Our smiling Noah.

Noah is getting bigger!

Noah is giggling, smiling, and coo-ing. He is very alert and loves to watch his big brother play.

Noah's first attempt at the ExerSaucer. He is holding his head up very well, but is not yet sitting.

Just a quiet moment with mom....
