This is just the beginning


Welcome to our blog. We hope you enjoy seeing how much Brayden grows and learns each day. He is definitly getting bigger...he now weighs over 14.11 lbs up from 8.9 lbs and has grown from 21.5" to 24" in just 2 months. It is amazing how much he has already developed his own strong personality. At 6 weeks he enjoyed his first mini vacation. We packed what seemed to be all of his worldly possessions and our bags into the car and headed to Chicago. While there he enjoyed his first ride on a train, a bus and in a taxi cab. Mike and I enjoyed the great pizza of Gino's East and Brayden got his picture taken next to his name on the wall at Gino's. Then we all took a walk along Navy Pier. After Chicago we took his first trip to Lima. He hung out with his crazy cousins and loved every minute of the attention. We had a great time and headed back to Cincinnati. On our way we home we drove carefully through the strong winds of Hurricane Ike. When we got home we learned that 90% of Cincinnati had lost power and would be out of power for much of the week. We were among the lucky 10% to not have lost power at all. Brayden and I even went to Target and shopped in the dark!

What a handsome and beautiful face. We missed you while you were gone on your vacation. Brayden has gotten so much bigger since you got back. So happy you had a wonderful adventure.
