It's About Time!

I know, I know I have COMPLETELY slacked at this whole blogging thing. This post has taken me FOREVER so I guess that is my lesson I never want to get behind again! Being a new mom came quite a shock to me in finding a balance and time for myself. I wish I was the type who could stay up til all hours of the night just to have time for them selves but as many know I am not a night owl nor an early bird. Especially when our little one decided to veto sleep!! By 3 weeks old he was sleeping through the night 6-8 hours and taking a 3-5 Hr . Since the Holidays he has completely turned for the worst in the sleep department he now wakes up 2-3 times a night and fights naps!! If anyone has any suggestions please help! I am trying a schedule and routine but its been 2 weeks now and nothing is changing!! he s quite the social little guy and loves the social scene he jus doesn't want to miss a beat but some times I wish he would change his mind for his own sake!

Anyway, yes we are still alive and doing great but have a lot of catching up to do with many of you. This post is HUGE and hope you enjoy. Here is what our little family has been up too since our little Braxton arrived.

Look how much we have grown. . ..

First outing on a Sunday in our church clothes

We headed down to St. George for Thanksgiving this year. We had a lot of fun with some of our best friends Skylar & Janie who had their baby Max the same day we had our little guy. We GREATLY wish they lived closer so we could see them more often.

Braxton showing off his favorite toy his mobile. He has loved this since the second I got it out of the box. So we decided to take it down with us. Max wasn't too sure at the begining but ended up loving it.

Thanksgiving Day we decided to have a year off of cooking and head to a country club for our Thanksgiving Feast the food was delicous! YUM!

Grandma & Grandpa Strong missed him so much the week we were gone so we stopped in on our way home.

This is our usual pose in the stroller he loves walks! I can't wait for spring so I can bust out my jogging stroller and kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
