Braxton’s Blessing & First Trip to Idaho

Braxton and I have been in Idaho for the last week and so much has changed. We blessed Braxton on June 14th and had so many of our family come to Orem to share his important day with us—some as far as California. We even had all 4 great-grandmas there. Braxton didn’t like his outfit very much so we still need to put it back on him for some pictures of just him, but he made it through the whole blessing without crying—hallelujah!

The next day Braxton and I drove to Idaho with my mom so we could visit family all week while Brian took his finals and hopefully got some good sleep. We visited lots of family including my Grandpa Foster in the assisted living center and Braxton got to hang out with his adorable cousin Sienna. She was so sweet with him and kept giving him kisses.

When we went to Idaho, Braxton was still very fussy in the evenings and was generally unhappy. But, I seriously have come back to Utah with a new baby. He is so happy and is starting to smile. We hope his digestive problems are behind us—knock on wood! And, most importantly, he is starting to sleep through the night. We are getting between 5 and 7 hour stretches at night, which has made a big difference in our sleep—Yeah!
