home again, home again

We're finally back in Ruston and all the pictures from Christmas are finally uploaded on my computer. I'll post some pictures later, but I wanted to report that we took our big boy to the doctor today for a check-up. He weighs 9 pounds and is 22 inches long. He got his first round of shots and has been doing pretty well. We're missing everyone at home...thanks for letting us spend time with y'all while we were there...Brayden's first Christmas was definitely a success! :)

beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I took some pictures of Brayden on his Christmas blanket today in one of his Christmas outfits. The pictures must have worn him out, because he's passed out on the blanket now. Check out our Christmas cutie. :)

7 weeks

It's been a cold week here in Ruston. It didn't snow like in the areas south of us, but it was still pretty frigid. We had to go out in it the other day, so here is Brayden all bundled up (I later added a blanket).Yesterday Brayden was 7 weeks old. He no longer fits into preemie clothes and now wears the newborn size. Some 0-3 month clothes fit loosely...we'll be there so soon!This picture was him snuggled in the footrest of the recliner. He fits perfectly in the little dip. He looks so sweet! :)

six weeks

I forgot to post Brayden's six week picture last week. We actually almost forgot to take it! Here is our sweet little growing boy!


He kind of slumped over into his shirt. :)


And just for fun, here's a picture of him in his car seat in hi s cute striped outfit.

by comparison...

I put an outfit on Brayden today that he wore the day after he came home from the hospital. It's still too big, but take a look at the comparison!

one day old.
six weeks, four days.
