Brayden's Big Day

Wake up... play with toys
Climb up on things to acces more toys...
Break out the pots and pans (which I can get all by myself!)
"Hey! Who is that staring at me?!"
Get self stuck in sister's Dora table and scream for help!

Happy 1st Birthday Brayden!!!

Brayden is officially walking now!

Thanksgiving Week

Where to start?! Our cousin Keith and his wife Rosanna flew over from Gaeta, Italy to visit us for a few days before Thanksgiving. We also had Andrea and Rich join us. Then more cousins for Thanksgiving! The week was packed full of fun and that didn't even include Thanksgiving dinner!

Brayden's Update:

Well, our little man is about to turn 1 years old. He took his first steps this week! He also is now sharing a room with Alaina. The transition went very smoothly and Alaina loves having Brayden in there.
