Proud Auntie!!!

Since I am way behind on my posts I am going to lump all my baby news in one post. Wait.... no baby news for Will and I. :) I guess that doesn't quite read right but for those of you who do not know yet Amber and Jerad welcomed a little baby boy, Brayden Douglas Becker, into the world on January 26th. He was born at 4:53PM and weighed 7lbs 9 oz and was 21 inches long. I'm an Auntie and a very proud one that that!!!!

In November Mom and I had a Baby Shower for Amber and we had too much fun. Amber got to see several friends she hadn't seen in quite some time. It was a wonderful turn out and a great day. The following is my photo story from the Baby Shower to Brayden's Birthday and beyond. :)

Amber's Baby Shower

 I had a fun time decorating for the shower. Mom did the cake pops above and they turned out so cute. Amber was doing an alphabet theme in Brayden's room so we stuck with that for the shower. The colors also coordinate with Brayden's room. Many of the decorations were gifts to Amber for his nursery.



Amber with all of her guests.

Happy Birthday Brayden Douglas!

The big day............ (January 26th, 2012)

Amber had a support team which included her ever so calm hubby, a very nervous Auntie as I don't do hospitals, an excited Grandma, an amazing best friend and a fabulous supportive cousin. The nervous Grandpa and excited Uncle played cribbage in the waiting room and anticipated our updates. It was a long day but 100% worth the wait and both Amber and Jerad did amazing. We are so excited to have Brayden in our lives that we can't get enough of him.

Welcome Brayden!!!

Play time with Auntie!

Of course Amber and I have been seeing all of these super cute photos of babies on Pinterest and couldn't wait until Brayden was born so we could have a photo shoot of our own. What we have found is that Brayden doesn't like to be naked, he is not a hard sleeper so we can't pose him and he likes to stretch out. What we have also found is that all of that doesn't matter because we have so many other cute pictures to look at we don't need the posed ones. The following are some pictures from our first photo shoot and Grammy was jealous because she wasn't here to have fun with the three of us.

I of course love his shirt that Amber dressed him in. How appropriate for a visit to Aunties. :) Brayden also loved the cow. Can't wait until he can see and talk to the real cows at our house. How fun will that be????

 Happy Easter our Little Easter Bunny!!!

He loved the Easter Bunny and Amber and I being goofy!

My first Easter basket. Oh Sponge Bob you are so funny!!!

 I am realizing that I don't have as many pictures as I would like to have of our little peanut. I think they are all on my phone so once I figure out how to get them off of there I will add more posts. We have had just so much fun over the last several months. Amber and Jerad may be getting tired of Auntie taking up every Saturday morning of theirs but that has been my time to spend with them and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Looking forward to many more smiles, milestones and adventures. Love you Brayden!!!

As always I hope you enjoyed reading my post and PS there should be more to come as I am taking the Summer off from school so am "free" so to speak. Cheers and until next time.
