Snowman and Braxton Update

There are so many ways to start out this post, IE:
Frosty the snowman, knew the sun was hot that day...
If you build it he will eventually melt...
You can spend your whole life building, Something from nothing One storm can come and blow it all away, Build it anyway... (Martina McBride, Anyway)


I'm sure that from all of these starts you have an idea what has happened. Yes, after finally finishing our snowman this...

...is what we are left with. Yesterday morning I noticed the top of the snowman was melting and his hat was falling off. When I left the house around 4:00 pm this is what I found. It has been a crazy 24 hours. The temperature has warmed and a hard wind has been blowing in a storm that is finally here. In fact I had troubles getting to sleep last night due to the strong winds that were loud and alarming. Keep looking back to see if Frosty ever makes it back again this year (if you haven't seen what the last Frosty looked like please scroll down and see.)

On Thursday Braxton had a well check up and it was VERY successful. Braxton screamed when they weighed him, but other than that he did well. The Dr. was amazed at all she was able to do without Braxton getting upset. In fact it even seemed she enjoyed the check up. So here are Braxton's stats:

Height: 32 1/2"

Weight: 22 lbs. 13 oz.

Head Circumference: 48.2"

That my be laughable to some of you since you all may have babies that are six months and practically weigh the same, but I will have you know that Braxton jumped this time in his weight. He has always followed the group at the fifth percentile and at one time he weighed so little the he was actually off the chart. I am SO proud to say (as was his Dr.) that he has jumped to above the tenth percentile. The secret to my success? Who the heck knows, but I am thrilled with these results. I guess my son has finally gained a good appetite. Hooray!
