Braxton's New Toy!

Braxton's new favorite thing is... playing in his diaper box! We buy all of Braxton's diapers from Costco, and they come in a huge box. Today I slid Braxton feet first into the box to see if he would play so that I could get some cleaning done.
It worked! Braxton played with the flaps and kicked the bottom of the box for a good half and hour while I cleaned his room and his bathroom. Best idea ever! I can't believe that I waited so long to try this. It would have been so helpful while I was in school...
Is it bad that I haven't thrown out the empty box and that I am saving it for play time tomorrow???

Sunday Best


Kyle took this picture of Braxton and I before church yesterday. I think it is so cute! I don't have very many pictures of me and my baby, so I was so happy that this one turned out so well. Braxton's outfit was sent to us from Kyle's Aunt Sheila. Thanks Sheila! This outfit is perfect!

Just one of those mom moments...


The other day I had one of those moments where I just could not get over how absolutely precious my little man is. He is growing so fast, and while it is really exciting to see him learn and grow so much, it is sad that my little baby is quickly becoming a big boy...

We Set a Record...


... For the world's tiniest fohawk! (and also for the world's bluest eyes)!

Rollie-Pollie Baby

I. Love. This. Picture. And I love my baby's wub! He is so stinkin' cute!

Braxton Goes Swimming!

We took Braxton swimming a couple weeks ago at Holly's pool. He loved it. The water was a little cold at first, but once he got used to the temperature, he was all for it.
He passed out in his stroller after we got out of the water. So sweet! I will post more pictures soon! I have a bunch more, I just can't find them...

Bleh...

In order to postpone my take-home final just a little longer, here is a random post for your reading pleasure...

  • I graduate in a week!!! Huzzah!
  • I am getting nervous about being able to find a new job. Right now, I work on campus and my employment ends after I graduate, so if anyone knows of any job openings, send them my way!
  • We are going to Atlanta on the 21st! Yay for a vacation!
  • Braxton fell asleep on my shoulder today and was making these adorable little sighing noises. They were so cute!
  • I am starving, but can't think of anything appetizing to eat, so I haven't eaten...
  • Kyle and I both woke up late for class this morning. Somehow we both made it on time.
  • I am very grateful I am almost done with my writing class. I hate writing. And projects. And this class has a lot of both.
  • For some dumb reason, the videos I uploaded from my phone are sideways on my computer. Anyone know how to rotate them?
  • I really want a nap today. Funny how even when Braxton sleeps in, I still feel tired.
  • My parents are coming down for graduation next week.
  • My mom found a pair of awesome peep-toed heels. So she bought us both a pair and is bringing them to me next week. Yay peep-toed heels!
  • I still don't want to do my final... gah... it's due tomorrow.
  • I am running out of blogs to follow. Guess I need to make more friends.
  • I slept on my neck weird last night and now I get this weird twinge every time I turn my head.
  • I ate some chocolate today. Chocolate= happy!
  • I can't wait to be done with school so I can de-clutter my house. Goodbye old notebooks, textbooks, clothes and miscellaneous items!
  • I am really sad I have to leave my job, but excited to be able to have dinner with Kyle again every night and to be able to put Braxton to bed myself.
  • I love the movie Tangled. Braxton and I watched it last week. Twice. I always get the "Mother Knows Best" song stuck in my head. Ha.
  • I can't wait for Fall semester to start so that all my girlfriends will be back here. Joscelyn. Emily. Brittany. My favs :)
  • I'm really grateful that Braxton hasn't started teething while I am still in class. And that he is relatively immobile. While I still worry that he is a little slow with rolling, crawling, etc., I am glad that I can still just lay him on the floor while I do things...
  • My husband is awesome. Just sayin'!
  • We are going out with Jeff and Sam this weekend. Gyru's or Red Robin. Not sure which one. Yay for good friends!
Ok, that is all I can think of right now. Guess I will go look for food and then start my final. *Sigh*
