Long Cold Days

I had to take a picture of this it was just too cute. I came downstairs to find Brandon and Braxton watching a movie on the computer, and they were both so in to it, it made me laugh. This kid is too much like his dad.

Braxton and I are so so ready for summer. Last week sometime when it was snowing and it was so pretty outside, Braxton just wanted to keep looking out the windows. However, most of my low windows are blocked by my armoire, so I had to stand there holding him forever. So I decided to move one part of the furniture so he could sit on a chair and look out. He loved it and it was so cute how excited he got to just be able to look outside. He's going to love being outside this summer. I sure hope it's a warm one.

Our Trip to Florida

Brandon and I recently went to Florida with most of Brandon's family. We had a great time although we missed Braxton terribly!!

Braxton's Pictures

1.
Here are a few pictures of Braxton, okay more than a few, but I couldn't decide which were my favorite. Don't mind the naked shots, I think they're cute, but Brandon and Grandpa Simmons aren't huge fans. Please help me choose, let me know which are your favorites. Thanks!

Thought he was sleeping!

Braxton has been struggling with his naps lately, he lays and cries forever before he finally falls to sleep. Today, however, I put him down and a minute later he was quiet. I thought, wow that was easy, he must have been so tired. Well, I had to go in his room 5 minutes later to get something and to my amazement he's just sitting up in his bed playing with his sock. So I put him back down and hurried out of the room. Crying! 1 minute later it's quiet again. So maybe he went to sleep. No wrong. Same thing, so I put him down again. Crying! Quiet after a few minutes. I wait a while and go to check on him again. I push the door open just a crack and peek in and find Braxton sitting in the very corner of his crib with his eyes drooping shut. What will I ever do with the little man. I'm sure all kids do this at some point, it was just so funny to me because this was the first time I've ever caught Braxton, who knows how long he's been sitting up playing in his crib instead of sleeping in the past!

Braxton's Escape

Braxton's so full of it these days, I already know I'm going to have my hands full with this little man!

Braxton has not been loving his baths lately, so this morning he decided to try and escape. It was so funny I had to run and get my camera, I thought I'd just be real fast. So, I'm sitting there snapping pictures of the little runaway and I think okay that's enough I've got to get him in the bath before he pee's all over.... Too LATE!!! As I'm walking back into the bathroom I notice a puddle on the tile, the little stink didn't even make it a whole minute! Boys!!! At least he didn't do it on the carpet, right!This is Braxton's attempt at fleeing the bathroom!

My little man, he's getting so big. It's amazing how fast they grow and change. Braxton's crawling all over the place and he's getting so fast. It's so fun to watch. He got his first tooth last week, plus he's been really sick so it wasn't a fun week for him. However, he's feeling better and we're both very glad!

Braxton's latest christmas shot!

Poor Braxton, I'm constantly making him pose so I can take another picture of him.
Brandon couldn't believe how chubby Braxton was getting. He wanted to get side and front shots of Braxton's big 'ol gut. He's our little Santa this year.

Merry Christmas from Braxton!!

Braxton and Rook at Thanksgiving dinner. Braxton is actually a week older if you can believe it? They were so cute together, they both kept screaming back and forth. Braxton was just happy to have a friend.
Tate and Braxton at Thanksgiving dinner, two cute boys.
I made Braxton pose between these cute trees in front of Grandma's house. He sat there really well, except, he was so excited he kept jumping up and throwing his arms in the air. He got closer and closer to the edge of the step till he toppled off. I know, what a bad mom, he was okay though, there was a good sized mat to cushion his fall.
