Merry Christmas Brayden!!!

Brayden enjoyed his first Christmas yesterday. Cory had to work today, on Christmas, so Santa accommodated and brought a fun toy to Brayden on Christmas Eve. Santa is so nice to do that. This is Brayden in his little elf outfit.

Brayden also got a wonderful cute outfit and some fun books from Grandma and Grandpa Hester.

Brayden is definitely more mobile now. Not quite crawling, but scooting around in circles and somehow finding his way across the room before I realize it. He got his first cold last week and is teething again, so he's had a rough time lately. But he is still so cute and smiley.

We feel so grateful during the Christmas season for wonderful family and friends and of course our Savior Jesus Christ and the gospel.

Merry Christmas! May you enjoy the season and the New Year!

First Halloween

I wish we had Halloween at least once a month. I loved dressing up Brayden in his pumpkin costume. He was so cute. We went to a Halloween party as "Cardiac Arrest." Cory dressed up as a police officer and I dressed up as a heart. It was fun. Brayden was the life of the party, so happy. I think he really likes to be around a lot of people. He was being so good, even when I had to peel away Cory from playing the video game Rock Star at 10:30 pm. I love this kid!

A couple days ago, I discovered his first tooth coming in. I felt like such a proud mom! Brayden has been such a dream to take care of so far: he sleeps through the night, he eats well (as you can see), he's almost always happy unless he's hungry or tired, and so fun to tickle. But his teething has made him a little more grumpy, he not sleeping through the night anymore, and he lets out little cries a lot in his sleep. I guess I can handle an almost perfect child for a little while, but I'm hoping he'll go back to his perfect ways soon enough. Cory keeps telling me that if all of our kids are as good as Brayden, he will want to have five or six more. Uhmm. . .

Our First Family Pictures

These pictures were taken in Neff's Canyon by my sister Erin, of course. The colors there were absolutely amazing. We had so much fun. Brayden is so photogenic.
