Dance Open House

Back in March Madison had an open house at dance. Here are some pictures to enjoy!





She also takes ballet, but I was not able to get any pictures in that class. I am so proud of her for working so hard at dance. She is really becoming a beautiful dancer.

Ski Weekend

Back in January we took a ski trip to Cataloochee in Maggie Valley, NC. This has become an annual tradition and it is always tons of fun. This year I did not hit the slopes with the gang. Bragan and I stayed behind in the cabin and relaxed. The weekend coincided with my interview at Vanderbilt and it worked out well since Maggie Valley was right on the way to Nashville. We loved Nashville and will be reconsidering it in a few years for fellowship!

Since I didn't hit the slopes I don't have too many pictures of actual skiing. Here are some from our fun back at the cabin.

5 and 6 Month Update

It has been waaaaayyy too long since I have updated, so I am going to combine the 5 and 6 month posts. Bragan has learned so many new tricks since the last update.

Here's what he is up to these days:
- Rolling EVERYWHERE!!! Blink your eye and he is in a new spot.
- He is a laughing machine. He loves when we jump out and scare you - he giggles and giggles and giggles. His big sis is a pro at getting him to giggle.
- He loves to chat with anyone who will listen. His cooing is beyond adorable!
- He started clapping on April 8th. His pediatrician was amazed when he saw him doing this trick :)
- He is not sleeping through the night anymore ever since we stopped swaddling. He is waking up usually once in the night to eat and snuggle :)
- He has conquered rice cereal (hated it), oatmeal, and ALL of the stage 1 baby foods. We are now trying out some of the stage 2.
- He had his first taste of water and loved it.
- He had his first trip to the zoo on April 20th. It was pretty hot but he still enjoyed it.


Here are his stats:
-Weight 18 pounds 13 ounces (76%ile)
-Length 27 3/4 inches (91%ile)
-Head circumference (74%ile)

...and now for the photos!

{Had to take the monthly shot in a new place...we were putting down new floors and his bed was blocked with stuff}

{I just thought this was funny!}

{You know, just hanging around in my ducky jammies...}

{Such a happy boy!}
