$Z and B wish they were at Juanita's...


Now all B wants to do is eat his hands....



Gigi loves Brayden..



I wish I could sleep like that..



Sitting in this crazy Bumbo Chair..



Mommy come home to see B in a new cool outfit..


In Richmond with Gigi, Papa, Nanny and the generators providing electricity..


So...because of the storm, we were without electricity and went to hold up at Uncle Amad's and Aunt Christina's....for some real sleep..


Ike doesn't just beat Tina...

Well, Ike came right through the heart of Houston, and for the terrible part of the storm Brayden & Derek hold up in the closet (with the couch cushions over his crib thing just in case the house collapsed). Courtney slept through the whole thing....










Nanny teaching Brayden the letter "O" I guess...


Gigi feeding while we "Track Hurricane Ike"....where will Ike strike????



Just in case you didn't know which political party Brayden supports (at least for now)...

B & Uncle Amad...great pic...


& Aunt Christina...we are so blessed to have such great friends and family..






Aunt Sarah taking care of Brayden...

Haircut at 3 months old?

Brayden's hair was so long that it looked like he was wearing a baby wig, so we decided to get a haircut from Derek's barber, Gordon.



Will was there to help advise that he was too young for a haircut.

Brayden Visits Rebecca & Sarah's for an Aggie Game

Sorry for such a lapse in posts, but for one we had a death in the family (our major computer), two Derek is lazy, three God sent a big storm to remind Derek how much he appreciates electricity, cable, and Internet...


At the end of the game both Little B & Dad are kinda tired...












Uncle Amad tries to hide it, but he really loves Brayden...

A Visit to the VanVleet's














Halle holds Brayden, then Dee takes her turn, a little awkward, but still precious!!






Gracie cheers Brayden on from the sidelines, but it looks like he is having so much fun that all the cousins want to play under his mobile

I guess Brayden has declared that he is for HOPE and CHANGE...or at least his Daddy has made that decision and lured his wife and baby into taking a great pic...


Checkout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjXyqcx-mYY for a pretty cool video reminding us that we can.....yes we can......

Derek wants one of these chair things because Little B seems to enjoy it so much...





He is learning to lift his head....and his daddy is very proud...everyday with every little accomplishment..





Brayden grows older and meets Sanaz

Some fun in Sugarland...



Little B with friends...lots of people but see who he is lookin' at...


Maybe laughing....



We had a temporary Nanny for a couple weeks - Kristen!!! She was a great part of the family for a while, but now is back in Pennsylvania getting into nursing. Brayden misses her already...




Little B can almost suck on his thumb...or is he trying to Gig'em?






Somebody's gettin' ready for August 30th!!!
