First time eating cereal...Messy!!!

In December when little man was 5 months old we started giving him rice cereal. Here is our first experience with it! It was a little rough and definitely messy!

He wasn't convinced that food should be given on a spoon, he thought it only came in bottle form!

He thought he needed to suck on his "sucky" between every bite!

Trying to help daddy with the spoon!

Opening so big!

Not too messy...yet!

Getting messier...cutest eating baby ever!

Daddy and little man....daddy got to feed him his first cereal!

Things are starting to get quite messy!

Cutest messy face I've ever seen!

He did pretty good with eating cereal for the first time! He got himself and daddy pretty messy but he started getting the hang of things by the end!

Just some cute ones of little man in November and December!

Here are just some cute ones of little man! I am way behind on my blogging so these are from when he was 5-6 months old but I still had to put them on here so everyone could see!

Sitting in the Bumbo! He wasn't a huge fan of the bumbo at this age!

He loves his fingers! They are always in his mouth!

Laying in his pack-in-play for the first time!

Trying to chew on his bunny and his hand!

Sitting in the bumbo again, daddy took this one...notice how he is hanging off the edge ;)

Little man cuddled up with his "snuggy" and bunny in his swing for a nap!

Mom and little man got tired while we were playing!

Getting better at sitting in the Bumbo and starting to like it a little more!

Little man is getting sleeping in his car seat!

I love the expression on his face and love his cute Disneyland outfit that Grandma got him on our trip to California!

I love you little man! I can't believe these pictures were taken almost 3 months ago...he is getting too big too fast!

Braxton's First Christmas

Braxton's first Christmas was so much fun! Of course he was still to little to understand what Christmas is all about but he loved everything about it! He loved opening presents, looking at the colorful lights and of course still loves all of the gifts he got! I loved Christmas even more with Braxton a part of it...Christmas is so fun with a little person!

I love all of his expressions and faces!

-Christmas Eve!-

In my family it is tradition for my mom to give us pajamas on Christmas eve to wear that night and on Christmas morning! Brax got his first pair this year!

-Braxton and his basketball-
Po-Po gave Brax his first basketball, softball and football for Christmas! Po-Po of course is so excited for Brax to play sports especially basketball so he wanted to be the one to get him his first balls for his sports!

Brax loves his basketball!

He also loves trying to put his basketball in his mouth!

Look at how much fun he is having!

His basketball is one of his favorite toys! He loves to watch dad through it in the air and catch it!

Braxton's first vacation was perfect! He was just a good boy and it was so fun to be able have him spend so much time with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Whitney! I loved spending time with my family! I have such a great family, amazing parents and I couldn't have asked for a better family vacation! We had such a fun time going to the different parks, riding rides, eating yummy food, watching movies, fighting traffic, playing games, going for walks, laughing, shopping, playing with Braxton, spending time as a family, and making a lot of wonderful memories!
