Time Flies...

My little boy is growing up so fast...I can't believe he is almost 5 months. It seems like just yesterday I couldn't believe I had a baby and how was I ever going to know what to do, and now I can't picture life without him. He is seriously the sunshine of each day and brings so much joy and happiness into our home! We love you Brax!

Mommy and Daddy can't get enough of him!

A Miracle....

Good Bye glasses and contacts....Hello WORLD!!! Devin got Lasik surgery and I must say what a blessing modern technology is!!! I got my eyes done about 4 years ago and have loved it!!! I was so excited that Devin could get his done and enjoy in the blessing of Lasik. It is definitely one of those things that you can't really describe the difference it makes in your life unless you have gone with glasses and contacts for a good part of your life and then get it done! AMAZING is what it is!

Adios.....YEA!!!

Cute goggles so he wouldn't rub his eyes while he slept!

I am so happy for him and once again so thankful for the blessing of Lasik, without glasses, contacts or Lasik Devin and I are considered legally blind. Lasik is truly a MIRACLE!

Another Haircut down....

I decided it was time for another haircut...Braxon's hair was getting quite long again so I thought I would attempt to cut it again...He is 4 months now and this was probably his 3rd real haircut since he has been born...(excluding the few snips here and there of the stragglers)!

I cut off about a 1/4 of an inch


He did really good holding still for the first little bit, but then he was ready to be done! I was a little hesitant to cut it because when its wet it's really curly and cute but once it drys it looks like he has a bouffant...so its best we cut it! He's such a handsome boy with the new due!

4 Months...

Braxon had his 4 month appointment a few days ago. He weighed in at 16 lbs. and 26 inches long. He went down on the percent table. He is now in the 70th percentile for height and weight and also head. He also had to get those lovely "S" words....."SHOTS". I always dislike this part of the appointment. Maybe someday I might get use to it...but as of right now it makes me want to cry every time. He is progressing very well and is a very healthy boy!

4 Month Highlights

~He loves to sing (I swear there is a difference from when he talks) When we put him to bed and turn on his music in his crib he sings for about ten minutes before he goes to sleep, it is the cutest thing...maybe I am crazy...but I choose to think he is singing...its a bit different than his everyday coo's and aw's when he talks.

~He continues to talk and makes sounds. He is always so intense and his facial expressions crack us up when he is talking...he is trying to tell us something, I just wish I knew what it was!

~He is getting really good with his hand and eye coordination.

~He loves his baths and enjoys kicking and splashing.

~He loves to look in the mirror and talk to himself or Devin and I.

~He still loves his little "Moo Moo" blankie and kicks and gets excited when we bring it to him.

~He is very alert and when ever the phone rings, the door shut, the television is turned on, etc. his eyes get really big and he freezes as he listens to try to figure out what is going on...I am constantly reassuring him..."Oh its just the phone...Daddy just left....Do you hear the T.V."

~He loves to suck on his hands.

~His Slobbering hasn't stopped...we still go through lots of bibs each day.

~He loves Nap Time...when he is ready to go to sleep...he is ready! I lay him in his crib with "Moo Moo" and within about 5-10 minutes he is out! (I hope it stays like this)

~He loves to read books....Story Time is an exciting time each day.

~Tummy Time on the other hand isn't his fav...he is doing better, but lets just say he uses all of his energy talking, and doesn't have any left when it comes to tummy time, explaining why he hasn't quite yet mastered rolling over :) He's getting close.

He is such a pleasant, happy boy...we love him so much! He is our pride and joy! I still can't get over how much fun being a mom is! I am so thankful to have Braxon in my life...I am even more thankful I get to stay home with him each day and enjoy every minute of him...Thanks Honey for working so hard and providing!
