We're Back!!

That's right, after about a month spent in Seattle the Peterson family is finally back in New York. We got home on the night of January 13th after two plane rides filled with an episode of projectile vomiting and granola in the eye, followed by a two hour drive in a rental car. I'll briefly explain the two episodes. Braedon had been on antibiotics for an eye infection (you will see below) and he obviously didn't have enough in his tummy when I gave him his morning dose as he vomited everywhere on the plane. That was fun to clean up but I mostly felt bad for my sick baby. We got some more food in him and he was fine for the rest of the trip. As for the granola in the eye, have you ever been so hungry that you felt the need to fold the wrapper of a crunchy granola bar in a way to make it easy to tip the wrapper into your mouth to make sure you get every last morsel? Enough said.

Here's Braedon's eye infection. It looks like he got into a brawl at the bar. You should see the other guy! Not a pretty sight and I just felt so bad for this little guy. It didn't seem to really bother him and it is all cleared up now.

Braedon hasn't quite figured out exactly how to drive his truck yet.


Braedon and Lilly were very cute together! It seemed like he tried to lure her close and right when she got in his reach he would grab her curls.

Derek and I enjoyed a date night out one night that included walking the Botanical Gardens looking at all the Christmas lights.


I stayed up to date with my motivational reading.

Braedon absolutely loves his baths and now he has discovered the fun of playing in the bath on his stomach. He loves the water and would probably play in the bath for hours. So far there has been only one episode of him dropping the kids off at the pool. Luckily Derek was on bath duty that time.

Braedon also got to spend some quality time with his Uncle Matt, whom he absolutely adores. Whenever Matt was in the room Braedon couldn't keep his eyes off him and was so giggly and smiley.

One of the trips to the YMCA where Baeo got to go swimming.

The Saturday after Christmas we took Jenny up to Leavenworth to walk the shops, look at Christmas lights and have dinner. It was cold, but fun.

You can't go to Leavenworth and not stop in at the hat store even though it is the most crowded store in Leavenworth and you have the big BOB stroller to impossibly maneuver around.

Braedon was helping Derek on the computer one morning.

He thought it was pretty cool.

He also loved riding around in this little red wagon at Grandma Wilson's house.

So now that we are home I will continue my regular blogging!
