Braxton's big boy bed

Yesterday (June 29) we bought Braxton a big boy bed. He is getting really good at climbing in his crib so we figured we had better get him a bed. He LOVES his new bed! I thought I was going to have a fight on my hands getting him to sleep in it but before we could even put his pajamas on he climbed into bed and fell asleep.

Children's museum

Braxton always gets really bored if you keep him in the house for a few days. We have been sick at our house and haven't been able to really take him out. So we decided we would take him to the Children's Museum at the Gateway.



I was worried the museum would be to old for him but it wasn't. He had lots of fun on the first floor. They had a room full of pipes running everywhere and plastic balls you stuck in them and they would travel in the pipes. There was a play house, farm, market, gas station, construction site, and a water station. He thoroughly enjoyed the farm where he mixed all the vegetables together.





We tried to get him to play in the fountain at the gateway but he was terrified of the water. As you can see in the picture that is as far as he would go.

Braxton's first trip to the Zoo

Braxton and mom on the Merry go Round



On Monday we took Braxton to the Zoo. He doesn't know a whole lot about the animals but we thought it would be fun to get out of the house. His favorite thing about the zoo were the other kids. He liked to walk up the them and get about as close as he could and just stare at them. One girl had a bag of snacks and he was really upset that she wouldn't share with him. It was really funny! He experienced the Merry go round for the first time and absolutely loved it. It was a pretty rainy day but we had a lot of fun.
