Hard to believe that Braxton will be 9 months old this week!!! He hasn't taken off walking alone yet, but he is getting quicker at pulling himself up and surfing along and around furniture! Brad is SO excited...Braxton has been saying "da da da da da" CONSTANTLY!!! I tried telling Brad that it's common to be their first word, but Brad thinks it means 'he' is the favorite:) ...time will tell.....
We recently replaced our living room window and rearranged some furniture, so Braxton thinks he is pretty cool that he can climb up to the window and look out...in the daylight he has a perfect view of daddy's shop~

...sorry Chad, he IS playing with a dodge:(

This chair is just perfect for the 3 of them.....Charli, Braxton, and Harper (wanting to play dominos...)

...and yet another wagon ride thru the Busselman's little house

Do you suppose he has enough toys at his fingertips to keep him entertained?!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Although the new year has just begun, we are experiencing lots of new and exciting things already!!! Braxton has begun to pull himself up on everything and quickly learned how to get back down as well. He is surfing along all the furniture. There are the certain occasions where he pulls himself up on Grandma's end table and looks as if he is doing pull ups, or chin ups because he can't get down(sorry, don't know my exercises) He is constantly chasing after us and pulling himself up our pant legs to get our attention...Brad says he needs a little brother to play with, I say he needs more toys!:) He has learned to drink juice from a sippy cup, and is starting to feed himself things without gagging on them! Ahh...lots going on in Braxton's world...enjoy the pics!

Go HUSKERS!!!

We watched the game at the Nelsen's...where Braxton found himself a new buddie, Halie!
...doesn't look too sure about this...

Stopping to smile for mom!
Mom says since I can't play with Cousin Conner in Colorado, I can chat with him on the phone!:)
