Fourth of July

For the Fourth of July, we walked down the path by our house to watch the fireworks.  This was actually on the night of the 3rd.  We walked with a few other neighbors and found a grassy spot that wasn't too close to the fireworks.  It was a great view, and the weather was perfect.  Brax enjoyed just laying on our blanket before the show.  When the first firework went off, it was so loud that I grabbed Brax because I thought he would cry, but he was very indifferent to the noise and the fireworks.  At one point, he was more interested on a flash of a camera near us.  It was fun holding him and watching his first fireworks show together.

Then, for the 4th, we walked across the street to our neighbor's house for a bbq.  There was great food, and it was nice to be able to talk to our neighbors and get to know them better.  Brax was the perfect baby.  He was happy the entire time and took a little nap without crying before he went to sleep.  He was so smiley with everyone and did great sitting on a stranger's lap for  the first time.  Our neighbors are expecting twins, and I think he definitely gave them the wrong impression of what a baby is like most of the time when first born!  Everyone just loved looking at him and thought he was precious.

It's a good thing I had two Fourth of July outfits for him since we had two events!
