Baba and Poppy visit

Baba and Poppy come to visit Braxton. Baba swears that Brax is going to have blue eyes. She thinks he looks like Josh. Baba held Brax while Poppy helped daddy build the gazebo on the deck.

Memorial Day at Aunt Holly's

Memorial Day at Aunt Holly's and Uncle Mark's. The entire Rega clan was there. Louie played with Big bad Joe. Jenelle changed Poopy diapers and Loupa takes a Siesta

Sleeping on Daddy

Brax sleeping on Daddy. He seems to do this every night around 9pm. How cute!

Hemangioma

Braxton's Hemangioma is growing still. We've met with the Pediatrician, Dermatologist at CHOP, A radiologist at Penn, and our Oculoplastic Surgeon. Fortunately, its a purely superficial hemangioma with no ocular component. This means that it shouldn't interfere with his vision or eye development. The consensus is to treat him with Steroid injections directly into the Henagioma. As of July 17th, he's had 2 treatments and it seems to have stopped growing. In fact, we think it has shrunk. We have a ton of these photos documenting the growth.

First Real Bath

Braxton finally got his first real bath in the bath tub. No more sponge baths. Aunt Jenelle and Louie came over for dinner and a movie. Lou and Josh went to buy BBQ essentials while Jenelle and I dipped Brax in the tub. I was totally procrastinating on this one. I wanted to capture it all on film and we never seemed to find the time. Finally, no more excuses. Braxton LOVED IT!

My first Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day at Nona's house. Big potluck brunch was had by all. Nona, Loupa, Louie, Baba, Poppy, GiGi, PopPop, Aunt Hol, Uncle Mark, Uncle Dave, Maureen, Michael, Kelly, Mike. Laurie and Mrs. Wightman stopped by in the afternoon to catch up.

Hanging out

Braxton is just hanging out. It was a beautiful spring day. He's still wearing those darn mittens because we thought he was scratching his eye. Erin Shalbrack came to visit Brax for the first time. Aunt Jenelle spent the day with Mommy too.

Holding Rattle for 1st time

Braxton on his changing table holding a rattle for the first time all by himself... and loving it.

Cozy in his Swing

Braxton is sleeping soundly in his favorite swing in mommy's studio. I think this hat was a hand-me-down from Sue at art270.
