Back to the Jersey Shore

Man do I love walking in the sand!.....

...and hanging out with my cousins.

Next year I'm running the Lavallette 8K with Daddy.

Big reaction to the Koi pond at the Lavllette Fire Department.

I'm not so sure about this 5-point harness swing.....

.....wait, this is actually kind of fun!

Even a pacifier can't keep me from smiling at the camera.

All worn out....time to go home and rest up for the next trip to Da Shore.

Photo Shoots

School Pictures:

It's hard to smile too much when I'm exerting so much effort propping up.

Me and my classmates.

I'm not gonna smile too big for the formal picture.....

...but put me in a gift box and I'll smile ear to ear!

It only looks like I'm 6' tall due to the camera angle...still about 2.5'

I don't remember this present thing or this Santa guy from last year....

.....but I think I'm gonna like it this year!!!

Halloween Monkey

10/24 - Pumpkin carving with the Folks:

Liz's is on the bottom & Todd's is on top.

Should we have named him Peter......"the pumpkin eater"?

Who needs a mask with a face like that?!

10/28 - ZooBoo w/Gamma, PopPop, Aunt Jen & cousins Avery & Keaton:

Cutest monkey at the zoo.

Monkeying around with PopPop.

10/31 - Halloween at Grandma & PopPop's:

1st Birthday at Da Shore

1st visit to the beach.

Sippin a cold one on the beach.....

Working on my tan.

....then resting up for the big B-Day bash.

This is great...I get lots of krinkly bags & paper!

Liz was going to spell "Bradyen" with candles....but after the "B" she decided to go with just "B 1"

The beginning of a big mess......

Brayden's first chocolate sugar buzz starts to set in.

At the beach before hurricane Earl hits.

I like the Jersey Shore....maybe I'll try out to be "Mike the Situation's" new room mate in the next season....watch out Snooki!

Bad Hair Day (Click on me!)

This is how Brayden woke up one morning....no parental teasing of the hair!
We're thinking about renaming him Baretta.

Sleeping like this can't be comfortable!

Eating by myself!
