B is 15 Months!

Braden turned 15 months November 22nd. As usual, we're not sure where the times has gone. He's turning into such a little boy. He has more energy than I could ever imagine having! We had our 15 month check up with Dr Flanagan on Tuesday, November 24th. He received a couple of vaccines, including the H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine. He usually doesn't cry too much or get too mad when he gets shots, but this time was a little different. I guess it was because he had four at one time. He was screaming mad at the nurse. But, after a couple minutes and a ride in the car he was fine. Here are his stats:

Weight: 22.6 lbs
Length: 31 inches
Head Circumference: 19 inches

The doctor said he's on the lower percentile of weight, but since he's active it's ok. We agree that he's active. He loves to run around the house and yard with his hockey stick these days. We even took him to a hockey game downtown to see the Houston Aeros play on Sunday, November 22nd. He really had a lot of fun. He was even given an official game puck (a puck they actually used in play)! A nice gentlman from the Aeros saw Braden walking around in his jersey and just handed it to him. We also got him a cool little Aeros hockey stick. He amazes me in that we actually can use the hockey stick and knows how to shoot the puck. Daddy is so happy that Braden is taking a liking to his favorite sport. Well, that's it for now. Hope you've enjoyed our update.

A Fun-Filled, Packed October!

October was probably one of the busiest months we've ever had! I had a whole list of things I wanted to do: decorate for Halloween, get B's costume, go to as many pumpkin patches as possible (see previous posts for our pumpkin patch adventures - we went to a total of THREE!), go to the zoo, and hang out with friends. We somehow managed to get it all in, barely! I actually decorated the house the last weekend in September. I figured if we're going to go through all the work, it needs to be up for a while. We went all out this year - hung up a grim reeper, ghosts, had a graveyard. We even had a scary skeleton butler inside that talked to us. Braden LOVED him. He actually cried when he saw us put him in the box. We made it to the zoo the weekend before Halloween. I had such high hopes for Braden loving the zoo, but it just wasn't a good day for him. He was really fussy the entire time. With his love for animals, I expected he'd have a much better time. The one thing he did like was the DJ playing Michael Jackson music. That boy sure does love to dance. I definitely want to try the zoo again in a couple of months. All in all, October was a great month. B is as active as ever, loves to be outside, play at the park,and still loves his cats and dogs. Enjoy some pics from October posted below.
