Over the past week out little "B" has learned the art of walking. It was so amazing to see the begining of last week he was pulling himself up and walking around the furniture. He then would take 2 or 3 steps a few days later (he is very motivated with food). By Friday he was walking 6 or 7 steps. Then yesterday my mother calls (she had not seen him wlak yet) and says he walked 11 steps from his room down the hall. Over the holiday weekend Braden and mom traveled to Eagle Lake to see the fireworks with Grandma Francee and Grandpa Rick. They were displayed in the middle of the lake on a barge, Braden really did not watch a whole lot of the fireworks he was more interested in the little kids on the boat next to us oooing and ahhing. We then spent Saturday on Cedar Lake at Keith's lake house; Chase, Jamie, and Lil were there for the festivities. Braden and Lil played more in the bed of rocks then anywhere else. There was the water, toys, and other little kids, but those rocks were the most interesting thing. Saturday evening mom, dad, and Braden traveled to Papa Denny and Nana Debbie's Lake (Clear Lake). Braden went for a boat ride around the lake and enjoyed walking up and down the length of the boat. Sunday was a blast. The Aunts and Uncles came with the cousins and we played in the water all day. Braden really did like the water, but the sand was his favorite. He sat in the sand and played with a truck and shovel, while watching all the kids and dogs run and play. We watched the fireworks that night and spent the night. Monday mom and dad did not have to work, so we woke up and Papa Denny made a wonderful breakfast. We went home and spent the rest of the evening relaxing and then watched Avatar (what an awsome movie). We had a wonderful weekend with family and friends and Braden has succeeded with walking, but we still have no teeth!
