Braxton is 7 months... a few weeks ago

Okay so I am a little behind on this post. But Braxton is now 7 months old and is weighing in at a huge 18.5lbs. and is 27.5 inches long. So far this month Braxton has learned how to roll-around everywhere and he is starting to pull himself up. I have a few videos of Braxton to share as well.

First Braxton's 7 month picture



 Braxton playing with his book!
Braxton and Laci nose to nose!

 Braxton managed to roll himself over to Laci's toy basket and took one of her toy ropes out.

We found out quickly that Braxton is a determined little boy and might have some acrobatic skills!

Here is a video of Braxton pulling himself up on his little toy ottoman.



I found this one on our camera from when the Broadbent's came to visit and had to put it in.

TEAM BRANDY!!!

Last weekend was a very special weekend. Will and I (TEAM BRANDY) ran the Kentucky Derby Mini Marathon for the DetermiNATION Team for the American Cancer Society. We raised over $17,000. Not only was the race a success but we also got to spend the weekend with the Broadbent’s, Grammy, and Max and Don. Mikayla was beyond cute; she loved playing “babies” with real baby stuff, though sometimes she did not like that Braxton was in his jumpy when “big” wanted to go in there. Yes “big” is Mikayla’s baby’s name.  So needless to say we have some adorable “cousin” picture.

First we will start with the runners!! This is the DetermiNATION team for the race

We had a great pasta dinner the night before the race, Will have a tear jerking speech that made everyone think about why we were running for the American Cancer Society.
Will speaking!
Brandy and Mikayla... look at that smile!
Braxton and Mikayla sitting together, holding hands.


Then it was race day.... our biggest fans

My friend Allison also ran the race
 Braxton was all smiles even though we woke him up and made him sit out in the cold all before breakfast.
Our fans walking to watch us run...

Grammy getting into the team spirit

After the race Team Brandy took a great photo..


And my favorite picture of all...


Here are some cute pictures from the weekend.
The first one is Uncle Will and Braxton
 We went out for sushi and Braxton was trying to grab Mikayla's chop sticks
 Of course Mikayla told him he was too little to play with them.
 After the race Mikayla gave "huggies" to Auntie and Grammy
 Mikayla was not too sure about Brandy holding Braxton.
