Moving...again

Well, this one will be just a small update. Our lives have been pretty normal the last few days. Mom left the day before Mother's Day after a really great visit. Then on Mother's Day we pretty much just spent time as a family. Chris and Braxton got me a great card and made me a wonderful breakfast.
I'm looking forward to my birthday on Friday, it should be pretty fun.
This last week we've just been going about business as usual. Though I finally did something yesterday that I've been wanting to do for years, I made my hair curly. I'll post a pic when I get some taken. Other than that, the only news is that we're gonna have to move again because we can no longer pay rent at this place, it's just costing us too much. So we have to downsize a bit. We have no idea where we're moving to yet, but we know when. Our lease here is up at the end of July, so we'll be moving the first part of August.
That's all for now. Have a wonderful week!

Swimming!!!!

Well, let's see, this last saturday, we helped Anna move in because she was having some roommate issues. So far, things are working out great. She works odd hours, so we don't see much of her during the week, but it's nice having someone else around. The rest of the week was pretty much normal. We saw Dr. Kristina on Monday and got adjusted. We started sweet potatoes, which he likes well enough, and avocado, which he also likes well enough. Bananas are still his favorite. We're gonna start carrots soon, then pears.
Yesterday my mom drove up and got to meet Braxton for the first time. We took him over to her hotel for a few minutes before bed last night. Well, today, Braxton and I went over there at 9 this morning and we spent the whole day with her. We started out at Wal-Mart, mom got Braxton some clothes, swim diapers and got me some pants.
We then drove into the city and went to South Towne Mall. We went to the Children's Place and bought Braxton a bunch of really great clothes. He had almost NO 6-9 month clothes, and what he did have were all more winter appropriate. So we bought him a bunch of summer clothes. 7 shirts, 3 pairs of shorts, a pair of pants, some overalls, a hat and some shoes. They are all really great and I'm glad that she did it.
After that we were all pretty tired, so we went back to the hotel where Braxton took a nap and we rested for a while. After his nap, we took him swimming for the first time. OH MY GOSH! He was SO excited. He kicked up a storm from the first second he was in the pool until he fell asleep in the car seat on the way home!
I laughed so much because he was trying his hardest to get out of grandma's arms and SWIM! We're gonna take him again tomorrow. But wow, did that tire him out, he fell asleep on the way home, and it's a 5 minute ride. Tomorrow should be another full day, we're going to see Dr. Kristina again, then mom, Braxton and I are going to do more shopping. Then some swimming.
Chris has been working some crazy hours and I'm hoping they will be over soon. He hopes so too.
Well, that's all for now, we hope everyone has a great weekend, a great Mother's Day and a wonderful week.
