Braxton

I went to get the camera because he was asleep on the edge of the couch but he heard me, looked up and this is the picture I got. Not complaining it is pretty cute.

Braxton is rolling all over. He has also started to get up on his knees and rock. He ended up under his jumper.
We have had Milo over in the afternoons while Kim is at work. Here is a picture of the boys at the park.

Jacob and Braxton

So Jenny's little boy Jacob wanted to eat and I was trying to hold him off for Jenny. Of course Braxton wanted me to hold him too. So here is what happens when you try and hold off a hungry Jakey. The squeals you hear are Jakey. Yes, we are laughing hysterically.

Rolling Over & Other Stuff

On Tuesday Braxton decided to become mobile. He now rolls in one direction. He rolls until he either hits something or finds something he wants to play with.

Here is a little video of him.

Last weekend we went up to Grandpa and Grandma's cabin/farm in Idaho. Braxton loved riding on the four wheeler, the tractor and the ride on lawn mower. I love how he held up his hands like this on the four wheeler, yes that is how he rode, he would not hold on.

This is how Braxton fell asleep on the couch the other night. He was drinking some apple juice.

Surgery

"B" had his surgery on Monday. He is such a happy little boy. He has been such a good boy and dad says he most have my pain tolerance because it has barely phased him.
Waiting for Surgery...

After surgery, he just wanted to eat but acted like he had never eaten before so I had them bring me a bottle which he downed in like 30 seconds. He also loved the sugar water.

He looks like he is ready to go run a race,

although he looks a little drugged.

Here are the stiches not too bad...

And he barely cut any hair away.

St. George

The girls all went to St George this weekend to enjoy some sun and time away. It was a very nice trip. Here is "B" and cousin "J" asleep in the swings.

Here is "B's" first time swimming. He loved it. He just wanted to stand and splash in the water.

We went to the park the last day . "B" loved the swing. In fact he loved it soo much he fell asleep.
Here are a few more pictures of the kids. Cousin "K" had to have a ball with him at all times. Also cousin "A" enjoying her time outside. Also my friend Mandy's little girl enjoying the slide.

Surgery

"B" gets to have surgery on April 5th to have the little bump on the back of his head removed. Here is a picture of it. The doctor said the surgery will take about an hour. It is not very big but they said it could grow bigger or get infected so it is better to have it taken off.

"B" has a mild case of croop. So we took him to the doctors this week to just make sure it was not turning into anything else. In a month he has added a few ounces to 14 lb 9 oz and a little length to 2' 2.5". He is getting so big. He loves this little dog that one of our friends gave him.

Simpson Family

Well I decided I should do a blog for the family and friends who live far away and those that are close. Baby "B" is 4 months old. At his doctors appointment he weighed in at 14-1/2 pounds and is 25-1/2 inches long. He is starting to roll over and is such a delight. He has been sleeping through the night for at least 6 weeks. We get to go see if he needs a helmet to make his head a little more round: his right ear is about 2 cm in front of his left ear.




Daddy is busy working for EWS desinging panels and is enjoying being a dad. Mom is working for Autoliv part time from home and loves being a mom. I am also working on getting to the point were I can run a 5k this summer. I have shaved about 2 minutes off of each of my miles in the past 5 weeks and I am feeling good.

Baby "B" loves to sleep with his hans either out like this or directly over his head in what we call his touchdown pose.

This is a monkey that he loves to hold and eat. you give it to him and he attacks it. He also loves to be in just his diaper and kick his little legs.
