Friday Photo Dump

I am jumping back into the swing of things here on the old blog. I have several posts sitting in my drafts just waiting to be finished and published. I also have a few things in the works that I can't wait to share.

I thought I would start out with a Friday Photo Dump with a recap of our week. We are definitely enjoying the summer like temperatures we have been having this last week and taking advantage of the pool. We are hoping to maybe hit up our local pool sometime next week for toddler swim. Brayden is going to LOVE that. In the meantime, we were busy learning how to ride our trike, coloring, doing puzzles and hanging outside.  

 

 

 

Happy Friday!



Spring

I think that it just may be safe to say that spring is finally here. The beginning of the week started out rainy and cooler but the last couple days have been AMAZING and seriously refreshing. We have been outside a TON and even opened the windows to let the fresh air in. Its amazing how sunshine and perfect temps can change your mood.

 

I think that this may be the best summer yet with Brayden. He is so excited to be outside and is seriously interested in all his toys. I have a feeling I may be living outside till winter. I am so ready for fun in the sun with my little man.  

He asks to play in his "house" everyday! He has played with his mower more in the last couple days than I think he did all last summer.  

 Chalk has been a huge hit again this year. Having Mama draw shapes and numbers is one of his favorite things to do. I can see my driveway covered in chalk all summer long. As I was taking his picture while sitting in his chair he says "Mama, I relaxin". The kid is always cracking me up.

Our Week { or 3 } In Photos

These last few weeks seem to have flown right by so here I am catching up on three weeks of weekly photos. We have been pretty busy so I did not have a ton of pictures to go through but these are my top favorites from the last few weeks.

Possibly my most favorite picture of my little cutie right here. I am so blessed.
 

 

Thanksgiving with Mama's family on Black Friday.  

 

Sharing snack and watching Mickey together. He loves his cousin.

 He loved this and played with it most of the afternoon.

 Brayden LOVES the lights and gets excited to turn the tree on every morning.

Doing puzzles in my favorite Christmas jammies he has.

Hopefully I can get him to sit still again to take more pictures like this.

My crazy kid loves a piece of paper and a pencil. Of course he is supervised. He thinks he is so cool.

He LOVES the Chrismas Tree.

 

And another super cute pic from this week.

The weeks are seriously flying by and we are somehow just 12 days away from Christmas which means we are fast approaching Brayden's 2nd Birthday. Time needs to slow down.

 

 



Our Week In Photos

 These last 2 weeks have been a little hectic for us so I did not get a weekly photo dump up last week. With Thanksgiving right around the corner I know that things are going to get even busier.

The weather around here has been up and down so we have spent a lot of time at home getting into our winter routine I guess. Trying to keep an almost 2 year old busy is not as easy as you would think it would be.

 Last Saturday we made a trip back home for my nieces 4th Birthday party then turned around and made another trip home (for Brayden to stay at Grammy's) and then onto Chicago on Monday for our first Chicago Bulls game. It was our first NBA basketball game and we had the absolute BEST time. I can't wait to hopefully go to another one soon.

Prepare yourself for a serious photo DUMP!
 

 

Playtime...loves playing with his cars.

 

It would not be a weekly photo dump if I did not include him playing with his trains.

Actually got a cute smile out of him in our silly little photo shoot.

 

 

Waiting patiently for his turn at the piñata at the birthday party.

Breakfast while mommy gets ready for the day.

 

 

This was one of the coolest things we have been able to experience. We had the opportunity to attend our very first NBA game by the Chicago Bulls with perfect seats and to top it off we were in a suite. Amazing experience!

 

 

Very interested in coloring and asks to do it at least once a day.

First time wearing big boy undies. He walks around pointing at them saying "undies, undies" mama.

Our Week In Photos

Our Week in Photos...November 4th to November 9th, 2013

 

I cherish every single moment I get to spend at home with this cute little boy.

 

 Brayden is enjoying looking through all the holiday catalogs at the toys. Its so cute to watch him look at it and name his favorites.
He's making his first list:)

Independent play is happening more and more. His imagination is in full swing.

 

Such beautiful fall colors in my neighborhood.

 

Someone took my baby and left me a big boy.

I just love his smiles.

 

 



Brayden continues to love his trains more and more. This day was no exception.

 

 

Weekly Photo Dump

I have been a bit of a lazy blogger this past week or so. I need to get things back in order. I have tons of posts just waiting to be finished and published. Here is how our last week and a half has looked. We have been spending lots of time inside due to the very chilly fall days we are having so we are trying to find new indoor activities.  

 

 

Grandma & Grampy started Brayden out on a starter train track set so we have been very busy playing with trains.

Coloring has also been a huge hit this past week or so. He is always asking for "colors".

 

Our Halloween Re-cap

 

My Wickedly Handsome man and his "pumpins"

Mama enjoying putting together a little Pumpkin bucket filled with  some goodies.

 

Brayden's messes that happen almost daily.

 

 

Yes, this is happening. Potty training has officially started.

A post on the start of this milestone coming soon!
