Family Pictures

These are just a few pictures we got taken when Braelyn turned 5 months. Our wedding photographer took them (fergusonphotographic.net). Of course it was suppose to be a family photo session but Braelyn was much cuter all by herself. My mom actually gave us this gift certificate as a present in Christmas 2007. What a great present it was Grandma Bray, thanks! Braezer did so good. We took pictures for 2 hours as mommy and daddy stood back singing, dancing and making faces trying to get Braelyn to smile. It's amazing what you'll do to get good photos , right. Too much fun! Braelyn's doing well, changing everyday. She now rolls over, loves music, laughs like a crazy girl (as you saw in the video) and let's her dad flip her bottom lip with his finger to get her to sleep, weird child?Braezer and her Daddy. I love this picture.
Braelyn in one of our favorite outfits. Yes, she's discovered her tongue!
This is image is designed as a painting. Thought it was cute too!

Trip to Las Cruces!

This was Braelyn's first trip to Las Cruces. She was sick and miserable at times, learning how to breathe out of her mouth instead of her nose, but still had tons of fun. Thanks for having us Teresa and Mac!

Braelyn was so jealous when she saw her cousins Madisen, Koye and Crew on a horse that she just had to join in on the fun. This is Braezer and her Uncle Mac. Braelyn getting to know Rusty before the big ride!
Look, no hands!

Hangin' out with uncle Mac.
Braelyn seeing her first Oryx. Uncle Mac will have to teach her how to hunt one of these someday.
Aunt Teresa. Braezer just loves her aunt T and thinks she's soooo funny!
Lovin' the open britches on this one!

Braelyn sporting the "Johnny Cash" onesie. I had to put a big huge bow in her hair just to make it a little girly.

Braelyn Laughs

We were able to go visit Aunt Teresa and Uncle Mac in Las Cruces over Labor Day weekend. We had such a good time, but nobody had as much fun as Braelyn. She thought her Aunt T was pretty funny.

Shots!

Okay, why didn't anyone warn me that shots just get harder the older they get? How heartbreaking! I know I should know a little bit about this but it's so different when it's your own baby. These pictures are from Braelyns 4 month old shots and her 6 month ones are coming up soon. I hate it! The first time she did okay at the Dr's but we had a horrible night, she just cried and cried. We finally got her to sleep by running the vacuum. The second time, thankfully Chris went with me, she was so aware and so sad I could hardly take it. It's much easier when they're clueless. I know all you experienced parents are totally making fun of me right now but when does it get easier? Yes, I now have a whole new respect for childbirth and shot giving.
Cute little chubby legs!

A visit to papa and mimi's

We took Braelyn to stay at her Papa and Mimi's for the first time. We've only been to Benson a couple of times since she was born and the last time she was there was in May. The weather was beautiful, Brae was actually able to go outside without burning from the heat. She loves being outiside and it's just too hot at home to take her out very long. Brent, Brooke and Chad also went, what a fun weekend! This picture is Braezer with her Papa singing "Wash the Lady's Dishes" a song Papa is very famous for. All the grandkids just love it when he sing's this to them.
Braelyn with her daddy, the funny guy who's always showing her tricks!
Braelyn exhausted from too much fun and all the attention. I think we were both ready for a nap. Mommy tends to spoil her a little too much though, I love the cuddles and sometimes have a hard time putting her down. Snuggle time is where I take it all in!
