Way too long....

I am so sorry it's been so long since I have updated this. We have been busy I guess.

Well B is 8.5 months old now. He is getting to be so big. I can't believe it. He has mastered the 'army crawl' all around the place now. Now we really gotta watch him. He really likes to Pull up the cords along the wall for the surround sound and he loves to go up to the fireplace and scratch the screen. We tell him no but he is having a hard time understanding that one still.

He has now also gotten his top two front teeth.

We also had an addition to the family too... Brandons new cousin Atlas was born on September 7th. He was 8 lbs and 11 oz I think. Andy and Lynn are very excited and are wonderful parents.

We got to take a trip to SD and meet little Atlas. It was a really good time.

I guess that's all for now. I will post some updated pictures when I get some more time. Love you all.. Thanks for reading.

Brandon getting older

First Tooth

So B got his first two front teeth today. Well probably over night. We had a rough night last night, he was so unhappy, now we know why. All night and today he has had a super stuffed up and runny nose. I figured he was getting sick. But then today Jason noticed the two front teeth sticking out. ha ha.. they are soooo cute. So that explains a lot. He has been napping a ton today in between, sucking the snot out of his nose today. But whatever makes him feel better. We are ok with. I hope he starts feeling better soon.

We also got B's 6 month pictures done last week. They turned out SO SO cute. We ordered some cute ones, and we should get them back by next weekend I think.

We are very excited for Stephanie and Marks wedding next week, we can't wait to see the whole family for a few days. Should be good fun.

B has also mastered sitting up on his own now. he is so good at it. Just a tiny bit tippy still but thats mostly cuz he gets excited while hes sitting up and waves his arms and legs all around which sometimes makes him fall..

That's all for now. I will post some pictures when I get some more time.

It's been a while since I have posted anything.. we must be busier than I realize. This picture is B in his new Booster Seat. He is sitting up like such a big boy and eating his veggies. So far he LOVES carrots, squash and avocado the best. We are gonna start some fruit maybe this or next week. So we'll see how that goes. I'm sure he will love it.

We truly are blessed with such a good boy. B is happy most of the time. He is such a joy to be around. The teachers at daycare sure think so too. I think he has a great time while he is there.

We are getting excited for our trip to the cabin in a few weeks. B and I are gonna go for almost a week we are thinking. This will be the first time Uncle Matt and Aunt Lindsey get to meet their godson. I am so excited for them to get to know each other.

B is rolling over like crazy now. Every-time we put him on his back he rolls to his tummy almost immediately. He even is almost able to sit up on his own. He kinda still leans forward quite a bit but he is getting the hang of sitting up straight. We practice everyday. He also is really starting to figure out how moving his tongue around in his mouth makes different noises when he talks.. He is so close to saying dada. he says dee dee a lot. It's pretty great.

We went to the Minnesota Zoo for the first time last week with Jessie, Trevor and Alivia. B's first trip to the zoo. He was super smiley the whole time. It did get kinda hot so we had to get going but I took him out a few times and tried to get him to look at the animals. So many of the animals are blended in to the background that I dont know how much he actually saw. But thats ok.

Not much else is new here for the moment. We will post again maybe after our Golf Outing weekend at the Cabin. Until then..

5 Months Old

So B is 5 months old today. He is getting pretty good at rolling over. We put him on his back for just a few minutes now and he rolls over to his side for a while then eventually gets to his tummy. It is pretty cute.

We had a busy weekend having Uncle Andy and Aunt Lynn's Baby Shower/BBQ. There was a lot of people there who hadn't seen Brandon yet so it was kinda fun for them to see him. But, of course it was not about that.. It was about Andy and Lynn. I think they both had a great time. They got lots of fun gifts. Hopefully that gets them more set for there little boy to arrive in September.

Not too much else is going on. Brandon has been such a good boy. (not that he normally isn't) But it is so fun to see him smiling all the time. We are hoping to take him to the Underwater world at the Mall of America maybe in the next few weeks. He is really into checking out all his surroundings so I think he would really enjoy looking at all the fish.

For now I guess that's all. B is getting sleepy now so I better go give him a bedtime bottle. Ta ta for now

Trip to the Falls

Today we took a trip to Minneapolis and went to the Minnehaha Falls. It was a perfect day for it. It was about 72 degrees out and partly cloudy. We had so much fun walking around with Brandon and watching the falls. We took some cute pictures too.

Holding my own bottle

Brandon is starting to hold up his own bottle. He is getting better and better each day at doing it on his own. What a big boy.

Lots has changed in the past few weeks, Sorry it's been a while since I updated the blog. So We had his 4 month appointment a few weeks ago. He is almost 15lbs which is in the 52 percentile, so he is right on track with weight. and his height was in the 62 percentile.. So hopefully he will be a tall boy.. we'll see. Everything else was great at his appointment. He got a few more shots but he does so good. He didn't even cry.

We started feeding him Rice cereal now. Somedays he does really good at it and somedays not so much. But that's ok. We know it will take a while to get used to eating solids. We are thinking we will start some veggies next month maybe.

Today we went shopping and got B a new Jumperoo. It is so cute and he seemed to like it. He can barley touch the ground when he is in it but he is close.

That's all for now I guess. Will post more when we can find the time. Bye bye
