Breydon is 3 months old today! He is growing like a weed and is currently weighing in at 17 pounds. It's been a very fun month!! Enjoy the pictures!

A very serious conversation with Kermit...

Playing in his entertainment center...

Opening an early Christmas present from Grandma Mary!

Still opening...

Yay! Baby's first Christmas ornament! Thanks Grandma Mary!

Yelling at Puppy...

So big and strong!!

Counting down the days until he gets to see all his family in Florida for Christmas and California in January!!

Laughing at mom!

As you can see he's changing almost daily! It's a blessing to be able to watch him learn new things every day!

We look forward to seeing you all within the next few months!!

My 1st Thanksgiving!!

For Breydon's first Thanksgiving we participated in our town's Turkey Trot! It's a 5K walk/run and we got up EARLY for it! As you can see (below) Breydon was dressed and ready but not quite awake!

Yay! We made it through the finish line! We were pretty close to being last, but hey- it was our first time! Notice Breydon sporting our Turkey Trot ribbon!

That afternoon we drove over to the Thielfoldt's home for a fabulous day of visiting and feasting! (Below)

It was so fun to visit with everyone! Their bulldog MoJo LOVED Breydon and made sure whoever was holding him was doing a good job! When I wasn't looking, MoJo made sure to clean Breydon's ears for me! Thanks MoJo!

Breydon enjoyed his first Candied Yams experience! He couldn't get enough and wasn't too happy when I decided he was done!

Our first Thanksgiving in Colorado was beautiful! We saw our first snow of the year and enjoyed great company!

We hope you all had a great holiday as well!

I Found My Toes!

Breydon found his toes and has been in love ever since!

He had the first of his immunizations last week and weighed in at 15 pounds 2 ounces. He's 25 inches long, which puts him in the 97th percentile for height and weight. Big boy!!

He's growing so much everyday, I can't keep up with feeding him. The Doctor said we could start him on rice cereal and he loves it, thank goodness!!

I call this (below) Breydon's entertainment center- he loves it! He loves that he can stand and that the little critters "talk" to him.

He's also learned that if he rocks back and forth, the critters hanging from the top will rock back and forth too! I took a little video of it with my camera, which you can play below! :)

Of course Puppy is still his #1

We are planning a trip out to California in January! We'd love to see as many of you as we can. We (Mike, me & baby) will be staying in Dana Point so we can be central to everyone! If you can come by and see us we would love it!!

2 Months Old Today!

Breydon is 2 months old today! It's amazing how quickly the time goes by!

Breydon has become more alert and watches as we walk in and out of the room. He looks towards our voices and has begun his attempts at chiming in on our conversations! He is very proud of the cheers he gets when he says "GOO" and now pauses after awaiting praise!

This is Breydon's best friend, Puppy (above). They are inseparable!

On his boppy, playing with a rattle. This is the first toy he actually reached out and grabbed from me.

In the last week or so, Breydon has made MANY friends! Besides Puppy, he has met Mr. Star Friend, who hangs on the wall above his changing table (picture above). It's adorable how excited he gets when he sees Mr. Star Friend. He jibbers to him all about his day- it's hysterical!

He also likes to talk to the Monkey that is on a mirror in mom's car, his jungle friends on his swing and bouncer, and of course his Daddy (pictured below)!

And of course his friend Miss Ash who babysits him!

It's fun to watch him learn knew things every day. It's been an incredible 2 months!!

With Love,

The Raine Family

Lots of Visitors!!

The last few weeks have FLOWN! Breydon had a lot of "Firsts" these last few weeks!

Breydon started smiling AND giggling a few weeks ago! He loves to laugh and giggle at everyone, especially when it's time for bed!!

He had fun visiting with Aunt Debi... so much fun he fell fast asleep after she left and I couldn't wake him for anything!!

He's also started to notice things around him, and made a new friend, Puppy (above)! He finally enjoys his swing, and of course... bath time!! He loves the little seat/mini tub Aunt Lisa and Uncle Jeff got for him! He could sit in there all day!!

Mike and I finally sat Breydon down and asked him a VERY important question... if you could choose a football team, who would it be? We told him Grandpa John likes the Gators and Uncle Matt likes the Bulldogs... but in the end, Breydon decided the Chargers were his team! Just like his daddy!



GO CHARGERS! (Notice the left hand up to block...)

Speaking of sports, Uncle Bruce, Aunt Julie and all Breydon's 2nd Cousins told him all about the wonderful world of Hockey! He even watched a game with his Great Uncle Bruce!

Breydon's first conversation on a cell phone with Grandpa John!

Grandpa Ron came by for a visit too!! Though the visit was quick, it was so great to spend time with Grandpa!! :)

Happy Halloween!! Breydon wore his Halloween outfit all day running errands with mom! Everyone just LOVED his pumpkin hat and before we could "Trick or Treat" he was out! Too much excitement for the first year I guess!

With Love,
Mike, Charis & Breydon
