Swimming

Brax and I went swimming with Grandpa at the YMCA today.  He was scared of the water at first, but then, he got used to the water and enjoyed the pool.  It should be fun spending time with him at the pool this summer.  I didn't get very many pictures, and the ones I took were not very good.

Motherhood

changed my outlook on motherhood and being needed so much.  I always think of this article and cherish the moments when I am needed even if they are in the middle of the night or early in the morning.  This is from today when Brax woke up early crying after going to bed late since we were in the basement waiting out the storm.  I know the moments of wanting Mommy to hold him won't last forever.

Busy Day

Today, we got up and went to the park in town.  Brax went down every slide by himself.  He did not want any help from his mommy!  The yellow slide was too fast, and he had a rough ride and needed a hug from Grandma at the bottom.  Then, we went to the Dairy Queen to have a lunch date with Olivia.  Brax enjoyed his third ice cream cone of the week.  After nap, we spent a few hours outside before we had dinner.  Brax did not want to go very close to the tractor, but enjoyed riding bikes, playing baseball, jumping on the trampoline, and breaking open big plastic eggs.

My Baby is Growing Up

Here is Brax now and when he was six months old.  It's crazy how time flies!
