How Time Flys

On Sunday Brayden turned 2 months old. I can't believe it. The last 2 months of pregnancy drag on forever, and then BAM! baby comes and the next thing you know he's off to college! OK so we're not there yet... but Bray is getting to be such a big boy already. At his checkup this week he weighed 10lbs. 13oz. and is 23 inches long. That means he has grown 3 inches and has gained 5 whole pounds in the last 9 weeks! He is such a cute, funny boy and I am amazed at how much personality he has. He is so sweet, happy, and goofy (just like his dad)! We love that each day brings new adventures. His smiling melts our hearts and his singing makes us smile. Yup, this little guy has found his voice this week and loves to talk to us and sing along with anyone who will sing to him. While he was at Grandma Mortensen's this week she was wrapping gifts and singing Christmas songs and all of a sudden Brayden joined in! So this past week I have been teaching him all kinds of songs. Actually he sings the same thing no matter what the song. Today he woke up especially talkative and I got it on video to share. Enjoy... Well you will have to enjoy it later. I am having trouble loading it. Check back for it later and settle for a cute picture.

Goodbye November

Well it has been forever since I last posted. Where did November go?

Being a new mom during holiday season doesn't leave much time for anything else.

That is why this post has taken 3 attempts... So here are the highlights of my November.

My cousin Travis Greer got married. It gave Brayden the opportunity to meet

his Great-Great-Grandad Farr. Here is picture of him holding Brayden,

my mom Crystal and me.

Then of course every one's favorite eating day, Thanksgiving. We were lucky enough to have my sister Jenny and her hubby Faron down from Flagstaff, AND my brother Mike and his wife Brooke and their adorable kids Isaac and Ainsley in from Texas. Of course they all stayed at mom and dad Mortensen's, so it wasn't any work for me. :) While they were here we got cousin pictures taken. If you read Brooke's blog she explains all the joys of having pictures taken of 3 kids ages 2, 9months, and 1month. So I'll just let you see my favorite pics...

As you can see my boy was an angel... (So what if it was nap time and he

slept through the entire thing!)

On Thanks giving we stopped by the Rogers for a little guitar hero...

(all the Rogers are addicted to this game)

Then it was over to the Mortensen's for the bird. Good Food. Good Fun.

Here is my little munchkin on that day.

After we all stuffed our faces, we decided to work it off my playing some sports. We played tennis, golf, baseball, bowling, even cow racing. On Jenny & Faron's Wii. I wish I had gotten pictures. It was so much fun, but I know we looked like loons.

So other than recovering from too much food and too much fun, we a doing good. Life is settling back into a routine, and we're happy. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
