Happy Birthday Brooke

Today we celebrated Brooke's 12th birthday. Jayden had fun visiting with all of the family and helping Brooke with the wrapping paper on her gifts. He definitely loves Brooke!

Happy Father's Day!

Jayden had a busy weekend. Here he is playing with Papi on Saturday night (and wearing Papi's hat - which Jayden loves) while Mommy and Aunt Tara watched a movie. On Sunday he ate breakfast with Papi and then spent the day playing with Dada. Then Papa Bettorf came over for a Father's Day dinner. What a fun weekend!

Fun in Baby Pool

Jayden had fun this morning playing in his baby pool. He loves splashing in the water and didn't know what to think about Reesee (our yorkie) trying to get in with him. We can't wait to get him in a real pool on vacation next month.

Big Boy Bath!

Jayden is now taking baths in the big bath tub. He loves bathtime and splashing in all of the water. Now we are working with his little temper once we take him out of the bath tub.

Happy 1st Birthday Ella!

Today was Jayden's friend Ella's 1st birthday. Jayden had fun watching all of the other little kids and getting some attention (since he was the youngest)!

First Soccer Game

We went to Brooke's soccer game today and Jayden had fun playing in the grass and especially enjoyed getting to see Brooke afterwards. She is his favorite buddy!

Cookies

Jayden just started getting cookies to chew on and he loves them after he eats his fruits and veggies.

Aunt Tara Graduated!!

Today Jayden attended his first college graduation commencement (hopefully it was inspiring). We are so very proud of Aunt Tara.

Swinging

We have a park down the road from our house and Jayden just loves going for a walk down to the park so he can swing.

Go Cardinals!!

Twinsies!!

Like Father, Like Son

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.

All of the great-grandkids at Grandma Joyce's

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!
