Long time no see...

Sorry that it's been so long again. Things got totally crazy around here. As you probably know, we've been trying to find a new place to live. Mainly because we just couldn't afford to live here anymore, but also surprise...she's selling the house. So yeah, we kinda need to go. We found a nice town home in American Fork, about 5 miles from here. It's a bit smaller, but we'll be saving around 450 a month on rent and utilities, so we don't care. It's a nice place, but we are going to have to downsize our furniture a bit. The entertainment center has to go, cause it's just too big, and our desks as well. We're losing a bedroom, going from 4 to 3, which is why our desks need to be downsized. Uh, we're getting rid of our table and chairs as well because we NEVER use it, and it's just a place for us to stack stuff...which is the last thing we need.
So yeah, I've been busy first trying to find us a place, and now that we have one, trying to get everything ready for our 8th move in 3 years....YAY! NOT! Packing is the not fun part, but at least when we unpack I can babyproof from the beginning. Which is good because...drum roll please....Braxton has started crawling! And boy is he fast!
Okay, so to update everything else, we went to my mom's for the 4th of July, and had a lot of fun. We saw her garden space out at Adam and Marnell's, it's way nice. She's finally able to have a bit garden again, but not have to do all the work by herself. She also painted her bathroom, which looks nice, a little green for me, but it works well. She's working on getting the rest of the house ready, especially her bedroom which has a bit of water damage going on. She's going to bring Aura down to live with her because unfortunately, my grandma isn't able to live with just one person to take care of her anymore. She's being put into a nursing home because she really needs round the clock care.
Um, let's see what else...Oh, Chris went fishing with his dad this last weekend and had some good luck. He brought home a nice size trout. He had a good time and I was glad for him that he was able to go. He's working on a new project with some people in Boise, on his own time. He's contracted right now for 40 hours, and in exchange he's getting some shares in the company. He's pretty excited about the opportunity. It's a little bit of an inconvenient time with the moving, but oh well.
As for Braxton, he's doing great. At his last checkup, which was his 6 month, done on July 6th, he weighed 18 lbs 2.5 oz. And was 27 inches in length. That puts him in the average percentile range for weight, and the 95th for length. He's crawling now, and babbling lots, knows Mama, Dada and Nana (which is his name for Anna). He's signing for milk, mommy and daddy, and is loving his new high chair. His favorite snack is crackers, he loves to munch them. He has a tooth or possibly 2 coming in on the bottom, and has been chewing on everything he can get his hands on to help with that.
He's using the sippy cup really well now, and loves to have juice, which he also signs for, but uses the sign for milk because he can't really tell the difference yet. I'm looking forward to moving into a place with a fenced in yard so that he can go outside and play a little. There is also a playground right outside the gate, so that will be wonderful too. He's been having big boy baths in the tub because he outgrew his infant tub, but I haven't had the chance to get him a bigger one yet. That's next on my list after we move.
I think that's everything. I hope you all are doing well and that everything is going great for you. Have a wonderful week (or possibly 2 hehe) and I'll see you again soon.
