I decided I better show you what I've been up to lately...

Like, showing off my guns in the muscle shirt that Nate & Becky gave me.

This one's for you, Natalie!

I've also discovered that I can do ANYTHING with my tongue sticking out...

like, crawling...

Or just sittin' around.

But, I can't figure out why they treat me like a caged animal around here!

Well, I busted my face at daycare the other day.

You may have to look close--under my right eye.

It's okay if it leaves a mark, though--I've heard that chics dig scars!

Family Reunion

I went to a family reunion last weekend.

I was glad to see my cousin Parker, since they'll be

moving away soon.

Uncle Luke always said I would beat up on cousin Parker,

but...

as you can see...

Parker started it!

We also found some old snapshots of distant relatives that seem

to resemble us quite a bit! Hey, wait a minute...!

New Game

This seems to be Mom's favorite game.

Let me show you how it goes:

Mom says, "Where's the ball, Braden?"

I immediately spot it, of course, but that's not enough.

Next, she says, "Go get the ball, Braden!"

So I go get the ball--just to humor her.

But then, I show her that I know what to do with it:

I eat it!

Teeth

See my pretty teeth? I mean, I'm not eating steak or anything,

but I'm working on it!
