8 Months old

I can't believe that Braxton is already 8 months old. He has just started trying to pull up to a standing position. This has been the cause for a lot of falls and tears. He picked up on crawling so fast. I now find him like this Stuck in a place he can't get out of. Yesterday he followed me into the kitchen. Within minutes he started crying. I thought he wanted to be picked up so I bend over and pulled, but he wouldn't come. Somehow he had gotten his foot stuck in a gap under our cupboards resulting in this The best part is how much he loves his brothers. Right now he is chasing Carson around the front room. I'm not sure if he likes them or the crumbs and toys they leave behind.
I love how dang cute his is
Could you pass on that cute smile, or even cuter legs? I can't.

Sick as a dog

I found out today that Ian has croup. It is one of the saddest things to see. The poor little boy is so sick he can't even walk. He will try and end up just sitting down because he can't move anymore. This morning Kevin found him in the hall by our room moaning. He tried to come get in bed with me and couldn't go any farther. Of course he gets this right after getting over his stomach flu. We have been very blessed not to have sick kids. Sure they've all had their share of colds but nothing like this. I feel like I'm at a complete loss. All Ian wants is to be held. Something that I love to do if I didn't have a baby crying and a 3 year old running around. It's one of those times when you feel so overwhelmed with things that are out of your control. The good thing is that he is on medicine and should be feeling better soon.
I feel bad for poor Carson. His best friend is sick and doesn't know what to do. He wants to play and has no one to play with. I find him playing with Braxton a lot more lately. Braxton loves the attention.
