Fathers Day

Braxton is so very lucky to have such a wonderful Daddy!!
I knew that Brian was going to be a great Dad but he is beyond what I had expected or would have imagined. He loves that little boy so much and it warms my heart to see him hug and squeeze and kiss on him. I love it that Braxton lights up when Brian comes in the room, and kackles aloud when they wrestle on the bed. He sleeps best on his daddy's chest, and loves listening to him read. I am so blessed to have him as a husband and am so glad that he loves being a Dad to our precious little man!

We enjoyed Father's Day by spending some time at the lake with Pappa O and Nanna. All 4 of us (Maggie and Bentley went with us of course) spend the afternoon in the water and lounging on the deck. Braxton had his own little makeshift pool and loved it. We look forward to spending many more weekends here over the years.

This week has been tough- Brian had sinus surgery on Tuesday and Braxton had tubes put in on Thursday. Braxton didn't miss a beat and even went back to school on Friday. Brian is feeling much better today but was a tough recovery and still has a way to go before being 100%. Luckily Mimi came to help us and to spoil Braxton ;).

We leave on Wed night for our summer vacation- going to Jackson to see our new nephew and then heading to the beach to celebrate the 4th of July. Can't wait!!

Summer Fun

We have really been enjoying the warm weather and getting out and about with Braxton. He is such a great baby and just lets us take him everywhere. Over the last couple of months he has attended baby showers, weddings, and birthday parties. We took him to pool for the first time a copule of weeks ago and he got to spend some time at the lake with Brian over Memorial Day (I took my first girls trip away!!).

He eats so much!! Haven't found anything he doesn't like yet- even eats green beans and sweet peas. He eats cereal and fruit in the morning and two vegetables at night and still manages to eat 7-8 ounces of milk. I still get to nurse him every once in a while and I really enjoy the time when I can. Our favorite part of the day has become the mornings. I hear Braxton cooing and talking on the monitor...letting us know he is awake. Lately I've seen him pulling his bumper pad down and chewing on it. That is when I usually get moving to go get him. Then he gets to spend some play time in bed with Mommy and Daddy. He is always full of energy and so fun in the morning so I have grown to love this time!

He is rolling over (makes diaper changing much more difficult), almost sitting up on his own, and loves splashing around during bath time. Amazed at how fast he is growing!

Here are some various pics taken the past couple of months.
