11 Months Old

Wow.... 11 months. I can't believe it. The last month has been exciting. Braden's sixth tooth came in, including his top front teeth. He has taken a total of 16 steps at one time. I'm sooo proud. I've gotten better at not screaming with excitement when he is walking. His favorite thing to say is Daddy, he can go all day. Daddy, Daddy, Daddy. Kevin is eating it up. I love watching him, he is learning so fast. He copies and watches everything we do. He is so lovable, lots of hugs and kisses. Slobber kisses are the best ones. One month to go until..... BIG ONE!!!

BIG NEWS!!

No, I'm not pregnant. But I am going to be a Aunt. My older sister Niccole found out this morning she's pregnant, with her first baby. I'm so happy for her. I can't wait to be a Aunt. Congrats Niccole!!

In the hospital AGAIN....

Well... my mom is in the hospital once again. This time she has blood clots in her lungs and one in her left leg. She's been at Methodist for a week now and she'll probably have to stay a few more days. The last week has been rough for her, she's been in a lot of pain and she's having trouble breathing. Today was a better day so I took Braden to see his Grandma. Braden loves his Grandma, he smiles so big when he sees her.
I guess since my mom has been in the hospital so much lately, the hospital felt sorry for her and put her in a VIP $2000 a day room. And, she doesn't have to pay a dime, it looks like a hotel room. She has her own chef and 3 o'clock tea time and a full size bathtub. Oh, and her own mini frig. IT'S GREAT! But she hasn't been able to enjoy it that much.

Ma' dam's lunch tray. That's what the Chef calls her. Sooo funny!
They give her ozarka water bottles but they pour the water in crystal stemware for her to drink. VIP!
She felt better today so she did a little scrapbooking.

BP Christmas Party

Kevin's work had a kid's Christmas party today. There were a ton games and snacks for the kids, and of course Santa Claus. Braden was to little to play any of the games, so we saw Santa. I was nervous because I didn't know how Braden would react. He did great, he even gave Santa's beard a little tug.

Christmas Tree Helper

Braden helped mommy decorate the Christmas tree today. He loved going through the ornaments and playing with the empty boxes. Isn't that funny we buy all these fun toys for him and he would rather play with empty boxes.
