Ty Owen Craven

We are happy to announce that our sweet Ty was born on Nov. 15th, 2011 @ 11:50pm. He weighed 6 lbs. 7oz, & 20 inches long.  Just like his older brother he decided to come into this world early & we are so happy he did! We are so thankful for all of our family & friends support as we transition from a family of three to a family of four. We are so in love with life right now that I'm not sure what could top it? Braxton is really enjoying being a big brother. He is such a little helper with making sure I know when Ty needs to be fed or changed. He really enjoys holding Ty and giving him kisses. Even Ryker is loving having a little baby around. He has reverted back to his old ways of being the "hall monitor" which is pretty cute. It melts our hearts to see Braxton so loving & willing to share his parents with his little bro.

I think he's warming up to the idea of being a big bro.

B's Big Boy Bed & Ty's Nursery

The time finally came to say goodbye to the crib/toddler bed and say hello to a true big boy bed. Braxton LOVES his new bed & of course we had to buy Car sheets! I wish I could say that with all of this excitement it would make him actually stay in bed all night long, but alas my dreams of sleeping in will have to wait. Now with the new bed Ryker has been a part of the bedtime routine. Braxton has to have Ryker lay on the end of the bed in order to fall asleep (it's way too cute).

The nursery came together better than we had planned. Since we had to make room in our den/guest room we were worried that not everything would fit. However, after putting everything together it fits perfectly! I really enjoyed making a few things to decorate the room (canvas w/trees and mobile). Now the only thing to complete the room is Ty who is due Nov. 25th (crossing my fingers that he stays put until then).

Had to add a picture of me & mom before heading to the baby shower. Can't believe I'm 9 months!

Love this shelf full of Owl decor. Owl garlands made by sweet friends from the shower, small owl from my friend Theresa, and large owl on the right made by Greta!

Love how it all came together!

Cluck, Cluck, Happy Halloween!

Braxton really got into the Halloween spirit this year. We carved pumpkins with our neighbors, Liz & Mckenzie and even made one that looked like B. On Monday he couldn't wait to go trick or treating in Fairhaven and strut his stuff in his chicken costume. We had a wonderful time despite the fact that Shane had to work.

All set for Trick or Treating!

B's favorite part of his costume is the chicken's "Mohawk" even though Grama calls it a "comb" :D

B's pretty proud of his pumpkin & keeps saying it looks like him because we added the ears
