Blake Is Famous!

Blake is finally getting to be on TV. He has always wanted to be a sports announcer, but I guess this is close enough:

He woke up that morning with the text on his phone and told me that he was going to call KSL. He was hoping to get Braxton on TV, but that didn't happen. He was so excited to report this breaking story!

Braxton's First Valentine's!

Well, we had a great Valentine's Day. It didn't start out very fun because Blake had to work all morning and into the afternoon. But, we decided to leave Braxton with a babysitter for the first time and go on a little date for our first Valentine's together. Last year, I was in Ohio for a class for work. Shelby, Landon's girlfriend, agreed to watch Braxton for the night. We went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Park City. We had the best steak I have ever tasted! We has sparkling cider at our table when we got there and they have me a beautiful red rose.

Braxton got to have Shelby has his Valentine this year because Landon is off on his mission. The whole family took care of him and snuggled him all night. They said he was a very good boy and they wanted to keep him!

Braxton Gets His Shots....So Sad...

Poor Braxton yesterday wouldn't stop crying because his little legs hurt so bad. Doesn't he look so sad. We got him doctored up though and feeling much better.

Yesterday Braxton had his 2 month checkup with Dr. Erickson. He is a growing boy! He weighed 12 lbs 13 oz. He has gained about 4 pounds since he was born. He was 24 inches long! So he is in the 70th percentile for weight and the 80th for height. The doctor said to start feeding him every 3 hours instead of 2 hours. We will see how that goes. The saddest part was that he had to get his shots. Blake stayed in the room with him because I couldn't bare to watch. I cried outside just hearing him cry. The rest of the day he screamed and cried because his little legs hurt. I felt so bad for him. He is feeling better today and I think he slept off the pain. He probably had never really felt pain before and didn't know what was going on. I felt so terribly bad for him. Thankfully, Blake stayed home that day and helped out. I had my weekly staff meeting and had to go into the office. Blake said Braxton screamed and cried the whole time. He looked really stressed when I got home. Luckly, he got to go to the Lakers/Jazz game last night to make him feel better. Anyway! I'm glad to know that he is healthy and growing! I can't ever tell if he is getting bigger. His newborn and 0-3 clothes aren't really fitting anymore because he is so long. He is skinny though so the bigger clothes fall off of him. I don't know what to do! He ripped one of his sleepers the other day because it was too short.
