Braxton's Christening

On Saturday Braxton Christened at St. John Vianney Catholic Church. It was really special for us to have him christened there because that is where Anthony and I got married almost five years ago. Braxton did really well. We attend church often so Braxton knows Father Edwin well. Braxton is going through a little stranger danger. He really does not like people he does not know to touch him. I am so glad he felt comfortable with Father Edwin. The day went perfect despite the rain. We had planned to have the reception in our backyard. With all the rain it was really muddy. Anthony decided to rent tables and chairs for the event so we transformed our garage into the reception area. It actually worked out great. We popped up a sprint tent for those that wanted to sit outside and enjoyed the beautiful day. Curtis and Sunne brought their bounce house so the kids had something to do. Gary smoked a few briskets and Anthony and Dusty cooked chicken, sausage, hotdogs and wings. I think everyone that attended had fun!

Braxton is army crawling all over the place. He can get himself out of him Bumbo and cruise the living room. He really only crawls if he wants something. Like if he sees a toy or mommy’s cell phone. We taught him to crawl by putting our cells phones just out of reach. He LOVES our phones. Loving phones just must be in his blood. He hasn't tried to explore........YET! I thought like most kids he would crawl backwards first, but he didn't. He did the inch worm crawl where he stuck his bottom in the air and then pulled forward. That lasted only a few days. Braxton can move pretty fast so the life of chasing him has begun. The doctor thought he would crawl late because he still loves to stand and can pull up usually on Anthony or me.

Braxton now also puts his hands up when he wants you to pick him up. I love this! If you walk past him and he wants to be picked up he puts his hands up and grunts! Anthony loves when he comes home from work and Braxton puts his arms up! It melts his heart! Our baby is growing so fast!
