7 Month Pictures

We had Jayden's 7-month pictures taken today. He is growing up so fast. He also has his first two teeth (came through at the same time).

Bath Time

Jayden loves his bath time and has just about out grown the sink bath. We will be moving to the bath tub this week. He's not a little baby anymore.

Mommy has the goal of getting that boy in a pool for the first time in the next couple of weeks.

Shopping and Lunch with Mommy & Daddy

Went shopping today and out to lunch. Jayden especially liked having his first "Olga Snacker" to chew on.

Happy Easter!

Jayden had a great 1st Easter. We went to Aunt Gina's, Nina & Ninapa's & then to Great Grandma Joyce's.

Quit screaming in my ear!!

Get me out of here!

Wow, this is a long day

Eggs, bunnies, toys...I just love Nina's colorful placemats

Future Godfather

She is crawling...wow! I want to do that.

Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy

Jayden enjoyed his new toy and is starting to get the hang of spinning in circles.

New Toy!

Sorry for the poor quality. First time videoing on my camera.

Playing all the time!

Sitting Up

Jayden is getting so big and started sitting up this weekend. What a big boy he has become!!

Camo Boy!

Daddy and Grandpa Bettorf took Jayden to Bass Pro Shops today for a boy's outing.

Finally some flavor

Jayden had his first veggies (carrots) tonight! As you can see, he was not too sure about them.
Now on to the squash!

Superbowl Sunday

Before watching the game, Jayden went down for a Sunday lunch at Nina and Ninapa's.

Jayden loves visiting with Nina & Ninapa. We received some poor news for Ninapa this week and Mama, Daddy & Jayden are requesting that our family and friends please keep Nina and Ninapa in their prayers for awhile. Thank you for your support!

Happy Birthday Aunt Tara!

We went out to dinner tonight for Aunt Tara's 22nd Birthday!

And Jayden was exhausted after all of the partying!

Sporting his new clothes

Mama thought this shirt was too funny to pass up!

Meeting Jacob!

Tonight we went down to Aunt Ashley & Uncle Dave's house to see Jacob. This was Jayden's first time meeting his new cousin.

Sitters on Saturdays

Now that Mommy is working and Daddy is still hunting, Jayden has to have sitters on Saturdays. Today Papi came over and watched Jayden at home. Here he is watching Momma getting ready. Later in the day, Papi took him by Nina & Ninapa's so he could wish Ninapa a Happy 84th Birthday!

Got Milk?

Jayden had his first cereal tonight! He really enjoyed it but obviously had a hard time getting it to keep from falling out of his mouth!


We will keep practicing!

Welcome Jacob David!

Jacob David was born today and Jayden can't wait to meet his new cousin. Mommy and Daddy are already enjoying being an Aunt and Uncle for the first time. He is so beautiful and Mommy Bettorf and baby are doing very well.

Daddy Time

Jayden is enjoying his time with Daddy as tax season is here and Mommy is working evenings.

Jayden's 1st Christmas

All smiles Christmas Eve morning!

Christmas morning at home. I guess Jayden was a good boy because Santa sure brought him a lot of gifts!

Too much Christmas fun!

Bumbo

Jayden is getting so big. Here he is sitting up in his Bumbo. What a big boy!!

Jayden Meets Santa!

Mommy & Daddy took Jayden to meet Santa tonight for the first time.

He was fascinated with everything around him (especially the other people in line) that getting him to look at the camera was a challenge.

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Tree

We went and got a Christmas tree this weekend and decorated it. Jayden loves to look at all of the pretty lights.
