Nine month checkup

Braxton had his 9 month check up this week.. He weighed 22 1 1/2 lbs and is 29 inches long! He had to get two shots but he was fine, didnt phase him at all.. He really didnt like being held down.. He has more teeth coming in, molars to be exact.. He is so close to walking, its not even funny.. I am amazed at how fast it happens.. He was just taking his first steps the other day and now hes doing it constantly! :( Makes me sad.. I will get video soon, my camera decided five years was enough and it was tired.. It wont even come on anymore.. I dont think I'll ever find another camera that im comfortable with..

First Steps!!!

I have to give a quick update, Braxton just took his first two steps!! I have no pictures or video because it was sudden and unexpected! We were eating dinner and he just let go of his dump truck and took off.. They were perfect sweet little steps!! Man, they grow so fast! :)

Random Pictures!

Here are some more random pictures!!

Boat ride to Shell Island!!!

This was the highlight of the whole vacation for me! Being on a boat is always fun.. We had to be at the marina at 8am, which wasn't easy but we made it.. At about 830 we took off on our way to Shell Island, we stayed there about an hour and found some seashells, saw some crabs and lots of jellyfish.. We got back on the boat around 10 and spent the next few hours just driving around, we did stop once where the water was about shoulder deep and crystal clear, we all jumped in for a quick swim.. We chose the right place to do this because we ended up finding a lot of neat things, there were red and purple sea urchins all around our feet the whole time!!! I had never seen one up close and they are awesome!! Now we all want to do this every year again and again!

Splashing in the waves!!!

Hayden has never been too crazy about the ocean, she only got in two or three times this year so I couldn't get many pictures of her in the water but I was able to get these of her breaking it down! She got in and started busting her moves!!

Braxton was absolutely crazy about the ocean! I would sit him on the edge just where the water would barely touch his feet and he would take off towards it crawling 90 mph and laughing his head off!! It was too funny! He got a mouthful of saltwater once or twice but that didn't phase him for long!!

Teeth, teeth,everywhere!!!

Braxton has finally cut all five teeth, they are now completely through the skin and ready to do some chomping!! He is already starting to bite everything in sight, mostly Haydens toes, they are his favorite target!! I tried to get some good pictures of the sweet little additions...

Beach Trip 2008!!

Well, our vacation has come to an end! We got home Saturday around lunch from Panama City.. We got there on the 28th and stayed until the 5th.. It was a long vacation but I think it was more work then it was play.. Taking a baby to the beach is exhausting, especially when they are cutting teeth.. We did have some fun days though!!

The Drive Down!!

This is the kids on the drive down, we had been in the car for about an hour, as you can see they are still happy and excited!

Here are the kids two hours into the drive, NAPTIME!!!! :)In this picture we are about 30 mins away from PCB, they are fed up with being in the car!!

Playing in the sand!

This is Braxtons first time in the sand, he put in right in his eyes!!

Hayden enjoyed the sand this time around, in all the previous years she would only play for 20 mins and be tired of it but this year she played for hours on end!!
