Braxon 7 Months

A little up date on Braxon at 7 months. He is getting to be such a big boy. Each stage of his life is so much fun. I always think that every stage is the best until the next one comes. Each stage of his life is so much fun, Devin and I can't get enough of him and his cute personality and zest for life!

7 Month Highlights

~He started to scoot on his bum as he sits up and also gets on his knees as he reaches for toys and sometimes finds himself in a face plant since he hasn't mastered crawling yet.

~He loves to eat and he eats pretty much everything we give him. Some of his favorites are: pears, green beans, peas, yogurt, and pretty much anything we are eating!

~I can't keep him watered. I swear he would drink a lake of water if I let him. Whenever he sees us drinking out of a cup he kicks with his mouth wide open until he get some.

~He loves to be On-The-Go....shopping, driving, walks, etc.

~He loves the fish and has now discovered the birds. The hummingbird feeders on our windows are his favorite. He would sit for hours watching them fly in and out. He knows to look at the windows when every I say "where are the birdies"....I think he is going to be an animal lover just like his daddy!

~He continues to respond to music and LOVES IT! No matter where we are, if he hears music, he stops to listen. He has lots of favorites that we sing but his latest is "If your happy and you know it clap your hands".

~He hasn't made out any words yet when he talks, but his latest way to communicate is a high pitch squeal.

~His little personality is developing so much. He is always so happy and it doesn't take much to get him to laugh or crack a smile!

Bad Hair = Good Day

For us as adults, Bad Hair Days usually equal a Bad Day...but for Braxon it was quite the opposite. His fuzzed out crazy hair meant he really enjoyed his nap, hence meaning it was going to be a GOOD DAY!

(I had to laugh when he got up from his nap and I found his hair like this...to me it was quite cute and I left it like that for the better part of the day, maybe now days that is more the style...the messier the better:)

7 Month Photo Shoot

I have been wanting to get Braxon's pictures taken for the longest time and finally the weather cooperated.

Chalk another project off the list....

Since we've been finishing our basement and we took on the Oh so dreaded task of painting it ourselves...I decided since we had the paint sprayer I would attack another project that I have been wanting to do for awhile, which was to redo Braxon's crib and chaining table.

BEFORE.....




AFTER!!!


My mom came and helped me attack this project because she had some stuff she wanted to paint as well. Lets just say it was a "PROJECT" and we were glad to get it done, but did have fun doing it together...Thanks Mom for coming and joining me and helping me finish a projected I have wanted to get done!

Braxon 6 Months

I'm a little behind on posting since how Braxon is 7 months now... But for record sake, at Braxon's 6th month appointment he weighed 18.35 pounds and was 27.5 inches long. He is growing like a weed and is considered to be in the 75th percentile on everything.

6 Month Highlights

- His absolute favorite show is the WIGGLES...he would spend hours watching them if I would let him.

-He loves cruisin' around the kitchen in his walker...he starts at one end and circle the island making three different stops, first at the stove pulling the towel and bibs off as he goes by, second the dishwasher where he sees his reflection and gets a kick out of himself, and last the fish tank where he stops the longest.

-He still is a great sleeper and loves to be put in his crib at night time and for his naps. His record nap during the day is 4 hours....I was quite surprised and its happened more than once...I must say I enjoy it when it happens, I'm able to get much accomplished!

-He finds it funny to paint the whole kitchen when he eats! He has figured out how to spit the second I give him a bite....(Orange spotted walls are way in style, right??)

-He hasn't mastered scooting or crawling yet, but sure loves to be sitting up and in on all the action.

-He still is very intrigued with music...he latest favorite that we sing is "Shake Shake Shake...Shake your Bootie" as we shake his bottle.

He is getting so big and is growing up way to fast! I can't say it enough, how much fun being a mom is. Devin and I are so thankful for Braxon and the healthy, happy little boy that he is. We love him so much!

Mom I'm Done...

Watching "The Wiggles" and jumping in the Jumper, equals a good workout and one tired little boy.

Braxon LOVES The Wiggles, so the other day I put him in the jumper to watch them and I went in the office to do a little work, after a little while I couldn't hear anymore jumping and thought "I better go and check him," this is what I found...

When this boy is tired, he is TIRED...it doesn't take much for him to go to sleep (most of the time), even if it is standing up!

Shearing & Easter

So this year Easter fell on the annual Shearing Weekend. It was a lot of things combine in one weekend...but we had ALOT of FUN!!!

EASTER EGG HUNT

Braxon made out pretty good with all these fun toys...thanks Grandma and Grandpa Kunzler for all the fun stuff and making things so fun & exciting!


EASTER MORNING
The Easter Bunny found Braxon on his 1st Easter!

He was excited about his new sippy cups!


SHEARING
In amongst all the Easter festivities we were shearing all the sheep. As a family we look forward to shearing each year. It is a great tradition and we all have so much fun together. I was excited to take Braxon shearing for his first time. He loved it...he also got to experience his first sunburn...I felt so bad...but my mom reassured me it wasn't the first sunburn and it probably won't be his last. We had a FABULOUS time.

Mom got smart after he got sunburn and put a hat on to protect his face!

The whole reason we were there....ya got to have a haircut at least once a year right?

We had such a great time together. I love this time of year, it is always sad when it is over...but all good things must come to an end. Can't wait till the next year:)
