Bananas!

So far this week has been pretty normal, we went to the chiropractor on Monday morning and everyone got adjusted. We've seen a huge improvement in Chris over the last few months, his care has been the most intensive. But I'm also making good progress. The adjustments have helped Braxton so much as well. He's no longer spitting up except on very rare occasions. He's also much healthier and stronger because of the treatments.
We started mixing some banana in with Braxton's cereal at the beginning of the week and so far, he's loving it. He likes the cereal okay by itself, but loves it with the flavor in it. I can't say that I would like flavorless mush all that much myself. I've got some sweet potatoes, carrots and butternut squash all ready prepared and frozen for him. We'll start sweet potatoes next week after the 4 day rule is up for the bananas. He's adjusting to the solids very well and seems to look forward to his next feeding.
I've enjoyed watching him over the last week, he's growing so fast and getting very strong. He's still interested in sitting up all the time, but he still wobbles from side to side if he's not on my lap. He's also been talking a lot more, and has started squealing and growling along with the other sounds he makes.
I've been working my way through JAG (Judge Advocate General) on tv the last few days. I can't really read much anymore because if Braxton is awake, he's grabbing for the pages and if he's sleeping, it's generally sprawled out enough that I'm pretty much incapacitated by it. I'm lucky to be able to reach the couch which is right next to my chair.
I talked to my mom yesterday and she said that everything is going well for her, she's planning a trip up here to see Braxton and I around Mother's Day. That should be a lot of fun. Chris has some stuff planned for my birthday, which is the 15th of May, and I'm looking forward to that.
It looks like Anna will be moving in for a while as she's had a bit of a setback with her roommates. We told her to come and stay with us because she didn't really have anywhere else to go and we have an extra room. We're looking forward to having her here.
Chris is doing well, he's been working a lot. I guess they've been having some issues with their servers at work. So he's been putting in some extra hours trying to get it all resolved. We're hoping it will calm down a bit so that he can start up his martial arts classes again.
All in all it's been a pretty normal week, so I think I'm done now. I'll update again over the weekend. See ya!

A little update

So here's how things stand right now, Chris is working lots of hours at his job with Zonder. They have been having some server issues, so he's been working late and on the weekends. He loves what he's doing and we are so grateful for that. He's feeling much better lately since we were able to stop those horrible injections and get some of those medications out of his body. He's been losing weight and feeling great! He's taken up going to the gym a few times a week because it's his goal to be able to bike to work. Just so you know, work is about 30 miles away from our house, one way...we hope he can get to a point where he can do it.
I'm enojying spending time at home with Braxton. I'm so grateful that Chris has a good job so I don't have to worry about going to work. I've loved watching Braxton as he grows and seeing the new things he does every day. It's my goal to get him to laugh and smile as much as I can every day. He amazes me with how fast he's growing. Other than that, I don't do much, I go into the city 2 times a week for chiropractic care, which Chris and Braxton also recieve. Then on Fridays, I go over to Anna's house and we hang out til she has to go to work. We go out to eat every couple of weeks and have set a goal for ourselves to try a new place each time we go out.
Braxton is a little over 4 months old right now and getting so big! He's up to about 15.5 lbs and 24 inches long. He did wonderfully at his 4 month checkup and our pediatrician was impressed with how strong he is. He's working on several skills right now, sitting up, scooting and rolling over. Sitting up is his obession though, he LOVES to sit up. He's such a chatterbox, he's always talking, and has started growling now as well. He enjoys being upside down, and always flings his head over my arm when I'm sitting in the rocking chair. He's liking the rice cereal, and next week we're gonna start bananas in it. What fun!
That's all for now. Have a great week!
