Braxton's Month of Firsts


Baby Braxton is 2 months old and is getting so big. Before we left Florida, we took him to the Dr. for his 2 month shots. At 7 weeks, Braxton was 10.25 lbs (40 percentile) and 23 inches (90 percentile). There is no doubt that he has grown since then. He is finally out of his newborn clothes. He smiles and "talks" so much. He loves Cousin Taylor's bouncy seat and is starting to enjoy walks more and more. He is still not very fond of the car but hopefully he figures that out soon since we will be driving 9 hours to Minnesota next week.We have been in Wisconsin the last couple of weeks and will be going to Minnesota next week to meet all of the Peterson's. It has been great to see family. Braxton has been a hit. He has gotten to meet all of the "Welsh's."


Braxton has had many first over the last few weeks. We've tried to capture most of them.
Braxton had his first shower with Daddy!

Braxton road on Grandpa's boat and really enjoyed the bouncy ride and warm breeze. Cousin Taylor loves Baby Braxton!

Nice shorts Grandpa!

Mommy & Braxton need some sun!

Grandpa always teases Daddy about his plaid shorts so everyone wore plaid on Father's Day, even Braxton!

NICE HAT, DUDE!

Braxton's first flight! He did awesome. Braxton slept all the way from Fort Lauderdale to Atlanta and despite being wide awake from Atlanta to Milwaukee, he was an angel and didn't cry once! Daddy did well on the plane too!

Braxton's Dedication

Braxton's Dedication was Sunday. It was a beautiful morning on the beach. Lee's friend and college roommate, who resides in Miami with his beautiful wife Grethel, led the dedication. Jason is planting a Harvest Bible Church in Miami and we are blessed to have them in our lives.

Braxton in his Sunday's best; love the tie!

Jason & Grethel are Braxton's godparents along with Jenna and Jon.
HANDSOME!

Sooooo Happy!

It was a gorgeous morning!

After the dedication on the beach, we had breakfast at Bradley's and they made Braxton this sign.

It is nice visiting with our neighbors, Emily and Conrad.

Auntie Jenna meets Baby Braxton!

My little sis, Auntie Jenna, spent 5 days in Florida. She loves her newphew. It was nice having an extra set of hands during the day while Daddy was at work. She "bounced" him to sleep for me!
Cute feetsies!

Out to lunch!

SNUGGLE!
