Bragging Rights!

So, thanks to my awesome neighbor we now have the internet! I don't know for how long but I am taking FULL advantage of this luxury and will be blogging LOTS.

First off I think I should have the right to brag about my AMAZING and ADORABLE little boys! (as should all moms) Braxton is 19 months now and just taking full advantage of his independance and maturity! He is still a mamas boys, but he sure has a mind of his own. He thinks that if there's anything I don't want him to do, he should see how many times he can do it before he gets in trouble. He loves to problem solve things like how do I get the baseball on top of the tv.... maybe I should throw something else up there to knock it down! (and everything else on the tv comes down with it!) He is such a joy to have in our family even with his mischievous ways! His favorite things to do these days are to find as many hats as he can and wear them. He most specifically likes to take off his shorts and put them on his head, and then proceed to play as if there's nothing out of the norm! And just yesterday he started taking off his shirt as well. What a goof! He is the BEST big brother a little brother could ask for. He rarely causes any harm to Nixon and smothers him with hugs and kisses anytime he sees him. We just love Braxton so much! He has been such a joy in our family.


Braxton was excited to learn that we were going to Mama and Papa D's House.



Nixon is now 5 months and growing like a weed! He is such a big boy... well compared to what Braxton was. And I thought Braxton was a good baby... but Nixon makes him look like an awful baby! He is the happiest sweetest baby ever! Anyone could make him smile in a second! Even Uncle Justin! (it took Braxton a whole Year to like him) He is so mellow and I never have to hold him. He was caulicy at first until I realized what he wanted.... He had to go to sleep on his own. Wierd huh? But it was sooo nice! He wouldn't nurse to sleep, or be rocked to sleep. He just wanted to be laid down in his crib to fall asleep on his own, and he doesn't even hardly cry. Best baby ever right?!!! I must confess I do miss him falling asleep in my arms and snuggling with him, but luckily he likes to snuggle when he's awake as well. Anyway, he's my little angel and anyone who meets him can't help but fall in love with him and his adorable smile!

Close up!



The boys in their first matching outfits. Love it!


Braxton LOVES kissing his brother! And Nixon takes his slobber and poking quite well.


Braxton was trying soo hard to do the puffy cheeks... and did pretty well!


Loves any hat he can get his hands on... but if you try to put it on yourself he has to throw it off!



My smiley guy! Uncle Bobby calls him baby Yoda, and I guess his ears do make him look kind of like it!


Braxton and Nixon getting ready for the pool!



Again, happiest baby I know! Love him!
O ya, on a side note... Braxton got into my brand new bottle of lotion the other day. He was covered from head to toe in it.. and it was all over our bed! I don't know how I stayed so calm but I did. I took a picture but it was on my phone so I can't put it up. But man this boy sure can drive me crazy sometimes!
Anyway I hope you enjoy and we will definately be updating much more often!

I'm so glad you are updating more often. I love all those pictures. Your boys are so cute! I love their little personalities. I'm glad your keeping record of his hat craze right now, he'll laugh about it when he's older. Can't wait to hear more. Love and miss you.
