Days 14, 15, 16

Day 14 - nap time :)

Day 15 - a husband who is "handy". He is currently building some shelves for Braxxton's toys/books and I can't wait!

Day 16 - pajama friday at daycare! :)

Day 13

Day 13 - free shipping :) I have become a mostly online shopper these days but will only if there is free shipping, which I can usually find somewhere.

Braxxton is 4 months!

Braxxton loves to smile and giggle, sit in his bumbo, and see everything. He now rolls over from his back to his tummy and anytime you put him on his back he pretty much rolls over right away. He sleeps through the night most nights or will just get up once to eat and go right back to sleep. Except for the last week, he's been waking up a lot.. He is such a laid back baby and so happy! He loves to read books, chew on his hands or anything else he can reach, drool, and have "airplane rides." He wears size 2 diapers now (but mostly cloth) and 3-6 month clothes.
At his 4 month appointment he weighed 16 lbs. 12 oz. (84th percentile) and was 27 inches long (97th percentile) so he is doing good!

Day 12

Day 12 - our church. I love the music and the pastor. I feel like I can take something away from each of his messages to use in my everyday life and he keeps it entertaining as well. There are soooo many young couples and babies (I swear there are at least 2 baptisms a week), so I feel like it's a great place for Braxxton to grow up in.

Days 9, 10 & 11

Day 9 - the health of myself, Braxxton, and the rest of my family. We have been pretty blessed.

Day 10 - music. I have always loved music. No matter what mood I'm in, there is something that makes it better.

Day 11 - all the veterans (and their families) of this country we live in and the holidays, birthdays, and just all the ordinary things they miss out on with their families to defend our freedom.

Days 7 & 8

Day 7 - my grandparents - Not many people can say that they have 3 of their 4 grandparents still with them, but I can. I have been very blessed to grow up nearby them and still get to see them often. They are all wonderful examples and I'm proud to have them as my grandparents. Not a day goes by that I don't miss my grandpa, but I have so many great memories of him.

Day 8 - my crockpot - Without this thing lately we would probably not eat supper. :) I don't really like cooking anyways, but this way we can actually eat something healthy before 8:00 and I feel like I don't have to do anything. And then you get a crock pot liner and you don't even have to wash the thing. Talk about lazy. :)

Day 6

Day 6 - the seasons. I'm thankful to live in a place where we get to experience all 4 seasons. Do I complain when it's 20 below and windy? Or heat indexes of 110 (especially when you're 9 months pregnant)? Yup I do, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Day 5

Day 5 - As I sit inside staying warm and cuddling Braxxton, I am so thankful that I am able to stay home with him.

Day 4

Day 4 - my family. I have been blessed with the best family I could ask for. I love the time I get to spend with them and wish I could see them more. I'm still trying to convince Josh that he could commute every day to work and it would be fun. :)

PS - when you have a child, time changes are not nearly as cool.

Day 3

Day 3 - the weekend - naps. cuddling. coffee. football. doing nothing if I don't want to.

Day 2

Day 2 - the husband. I am so thankful to have this guy to spend my life with and raise our kids with. He   is such a wonderful father and is always willing to help, even the not-so-fun jobs. I know that no matter what he cares about me and wants the best for me and our family. I could go on and on but I don't want to bore you. :)

Day 1

This year leading up to Thanksgiving I want to attempt to blog about something I'm thankful for every day. Considering the frequency of my blog posts, we'll see how long this lasts. :)

Day 1 - This one is probably obvious, but I am incredibly thankful for Braxxton. We have been so blessed to have a healthy, sweet, happy baby boy. I have loved every second of being his mommy. Part of me is sad about how fast he is growing up, but I also love watching all the new things he does (he now rolls over!) and can't wait for all the fun things to come. This boy can make my heart melt. :)
