Sitting Up

Braxton is doing a lot of sitting up by himself now. Here is a pic of one of the first times that Braxton sat up by himself. Braxton got all excited about something that happened on Sprout TV so a second after the photo was taken he fell backwards. (We are still working on the staying up part of sitting up.)

Sweet Peas

The doctor said that we could start B on either veggies or fruit, so sweet peas it was.





I believe that we can call this a success. We let Bruiser finish up the sweet peas.

Cereal Time

At the doctor's appointment on Tuesday I was told that Braxton could start on cereal since he was only a few days away from being 4 months old. I have been putting off starting Braxton on cereal because I read that if you started food too soon then it increases the chances of obesity and diabetes later in life. Neither one of these diseases is something that I want Braxton to have and anything that I could do to prevent them I was going to do! After we left the doctor's office it was off to Wal-Mart to buy the necessary materials for Braxton's adventure into the world of cereal.

I waited until Jeremy came home so that he could be a part of this first for Braxton. So here goes nothing.....

Don't worry Braxton, the rice cereal may have tasted gross but trust me you will make up for it later in life with all of the sugary cereal that you will have.

Shopping Trip

Braxton LOVES shopping...see I have proof!
Okay, really he just loves playing with his toys and watching daddy making funny faces.

It was on this shopping trip that Jeremy and I heard Braxton laugh for the very first time. I'm not talking about the normal baby noises, it was a belly laugh that we both heard. I was so happy to hear the laugh that I actually teared up. I know, I know...I'm still a little hormonal, but that's fine by me. (Jeremy might want to share his thought here.)
