A Year and a Half

Braxten is 1.5 years old!

We have a baby boy that is 1.5 years old!!! He is so full of energy and life that we almost can't keep up. He is so sweet 99% of the time and has a slight temper when he is tired and isn't getting his way. His personality is in full swing and we love every second of it. We, of course, think he is the smartest little boy around (as every parent does) and can actually see him learning every day. He loves to figure out how and why things work, interested in the bolts and screws that hold things together, the hinges that allow doors to open, the handles and wheels of toys and cars. If we show him something once he is instantly trying to do it himself. He is a curious little man that loves to explore. He would stay outside all day long if possible and has learned to get his shoes and our shoes to start, grabs one of our fingers and drags us to one of the doors any time we are inside. He is a climber, a jumper, a runner and a spinner that exhausts himself by the end of the day and crashes each night as he hits the mattress of his crib. Braxten loves his stuffed animals, throwing balls, being chased and his laugh is contagious. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't wonder how we got so lucky to be his parents.  We love you little buddy, thank you for all the love, joy and laughter you have brought into our lives. 

Braxten is growing up

Braxten no longer wants us to hold him and rock him before putting him to bed. It makes us sad that is he officially growing up. He is still a sweet boy giving hugs and kisses and randomly laying his head on out shoulders filling our hearts with love and joy. 

We can't believe that he is a few days away from 1.5 years old!!!

Ohio State Fans!!!

OHIO STATE FANS

Go Bucks!

We are two of the cutest Ohio State fans ever!!! We watched the beginning of the first game this season but went to bed early. We were excited in the morning to hear they WON!!! Go Bucks!

 Braxten is seen in this pictures as he is yelling at the offense as the quarterback and Kane is giving us a look that we will for sure see in her future as she grows up. 

We are hoping for another amazing season!!! OH...IO!!!

We sure look alike!!!! WOW!

Leading the offense!

This is the future look - we are in trouble!

Ref come on man - did you see that?

Look at these Bucks! We love Daddy!

Some fun times in September

Fun times in September!

So we have found a park really close to our house that NO one else goes to during school hours! We have had it to ourselves both times we went! Braxten is getting more and more brave with each visit. He loves to swing and is getting the hang of the slides now too! He loves walking across the bridge that bounces a little and throwing the mulch into the grass. Kane has plenty of shade that she sits in the stroller or gets held as we walk around. Thinking this is the next birthday party spot to share for the kiddos! As can be seen, B is getting a bit more adventurous at home too. I walked into he playroom to find him standing on this chair and trying to reach the radio as the chair was beginning to slip backwards on the hardwood floor. He is keeping us on our toes! They both like to be near one another lately and B is generous with his kisses to Kane. He likes to help us burp her too and is actually gentle (most of the time). Loving my stay at home days!!!

Kane is 4 months old!

Our baby girl is growing so fast!!! 4 months already!!

KANE IS...

• 25 inches (same as Braxten at this age)
• 15lb 11 oz (bigger than her brother)
• talking so much with squeals, bubbles and the most beautiful laughter ever!
• sleeping 10-12 hours a night, eating and then going back to sleep for a few hours. Bedtime around 8pm, eats between 6-8 then goes back to sleep until at least 10! 
• eats 6 ounces every 3 hours 
• starting to grab toys and bring them to her mouth using both hands
• has found her feet when she lays on her back and thinks they are pretty funny
• sleeps on her belly
• is no longer swaddled (which makes Mommy sad that her baby isn't quite a little baby anymore)
• wants to see people at all times when she is awake and won't stop smiling if someone is talking to her
• is working on sitting up but those darn rolls get in the way (We love every one of them!!)
• still loves to watch Braxten (and TV) but he is her all day entertainment. Her face lights up when he pays attention to her and gives her kisses (or smells her toes)

Kane you are a beautiful, amazing little girl! We cannot imagine life without you and thank you for all the joy you have already brought into so many people's lives. You are a strong and independent little lady, we look forward to watching you grow and continue to change the lives of those around you. We love you more than you can ever imagine! Happy 4 months baby girl!!!
