New trick - sitting in the bebo chair. Does great for like 10 seconds before he starts to "wilt."

Just after a bath helping daddy study for the medicine board.

Brayden meets some more friends...

Get that bird....get it...

While we were in the Med Center seeing Dr. Dryden, we ran into some of Courtney's work friends - Colleen (working and posing for the pic at the same time), Clark, Vanessa and Sharon... good peeps.

Dr. Dryden - the navigator who helped Brayden escape the womb.

Headed back to Houston, we have to stop at Woody's again to say hi to the gang.

Brayden also got to meet William Rogers, otherwise known as WJ or "the point man." It was really great to be in Dallas to help Uncle WJ celebrate his 42nd birthday.

Brayden meets Shannon and her mommy, Alison.

We hadn't weighed Brayden in a while....and we were in Centerville at Woody's Smokehouse and there were all these scales, so....

Little B and Big B (Bradley Baethe) showing off their losing bets at Sam Houston Race Park. Is Big B a bad influence and pushing a "kegerator" on Little B? It be true.

Brayden is already getting to work helping his Uncle Steve in the cath lab. "I don't think that you're in the coronary sinus, Dr. Whoandwho,...I think that is the innominate..."

Courtney and Derek have found the answer to baby boredom.....which is like baby crack....the mobile...

Quick video of Brayden from Cooper's sweet pool. It seems that several females are very excited that he is in the pool, but he is thinking....."this is just like regular life.....except wetter......I guess it's OK......please, next life situation...."

Brayden has a new friend, Cooper, who is teaching him how to be cool and get tanned.
To start out, you got to have a cool swim suit.
Next, only hang out with hot chicks.
Take for instance your Aunt Christina (although it seems she is laughing right at you in your rather effeminate little float).

Like Derek's Mom used to say about Derek is quite applicable to Brayden: "He is such a good boy when he is sleeping.."

Who has the coolest family? That's right, Brayden. Detie Boucher, Susan, Kent, and Chris Rothbauer visit and rock the casa!!! He slept on Aunt Detie's chest for like an hour....

Brayden and the coolest guy he has met yet, Hans. You can tell he is cool because of his tattoos. Also Little B looking up at Wendi with a bunch of painter's tape on her body for some reason.....wierd, right?

Our good friends Kate and Stepho brought over supper!!!!! Awesome....

Many pictures from Little B's first Livingston lakehouse trip...great fun!!!!

Mommy with long hair....

& Mommy with short hair....Little B looks shocked....

She plans on donating the lost locks..

and here is that hair. Shows us what Little B would look like if he had been a she.

June 28, 2008 - Brayden's first bottle of pumped milk (and coincidentally, Courtney's first sleep longer than 2 hours since his birth). He took it really well, had an amazing burp that shook some posters off the wall, and then immediately fell asleep. Good boy.

Two new friends... Zach Beck (retired businessman)...

and...

enchiladas at Juanita's (Derek and Brayden's Favorite Tex-Mex in Houston).

Aunt Christina and Uncle Amad stop by for some smiles.

One of Brayden's first baths (edited with approval by the FCC). He actually really likes his baths.

Courtney's sister, Joanna, holds Little B like such a pro. It's almost like she has had some practice.

Brayden chills with Gammy and his three favorite cousins - Halle, Dee, and Gracie.

Another quick family pic.

I'm tired but don't want to go to sleep.

This really was just by chance that Brayden and one of his many girlfriends, Wendi, were both wearing shirts that wanted to "See you later, aligator."

Something the three of us all love to do....sleep.

Brayden's friend Sarah.

Daddy needs a freakin' haircut...

It is a good hair day for little B.

Him lookin' at his first real love.

My buddy Zach says that Brayden looks like a European rock star.

The Famous Max Hoffman (see maxhoffman.blogspot.com) meets his new best buddy.
