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

Big Boy

See how good I can hold my head up now. Man a lot has changed in the past few weeks. Brandon is getting stronger and stronger each day. He has rolled over about 3 or 4 times now and is starting to get really good at it.

Dad and his new boat!

Vacation

Well, Jason and I went on vacation last week. We went down to Cape Coral, Florida with my mom and dad and Matt and Lindsey. We had a great time. Brandon spent the week in South Dakota with Grandma and Grandpa S. They had a blast having him there. We missed him so so much but really enjoyed our vacation.

My dad's friend owns a house down in Cape Coral, So we were all able to stay there in the house for the week, We went out on my dad's new boat 3 days in a row and had a blast. Got lots of sun and had lots of fun.

Now that we are home we are having a lot of fun with B. He actally rolled over two days ago for the first time, from his belly to his back. I tried so hard to get it on camera, but everytime I hit record he wouldnt do it. Then the one time I didn't record it .. he did it. He hasn't done it yet again but we are working on it.

B has also been very fussy the last few days.. We think he is teething already. I was hoping it would hold off a few more months but it appears it has started. He is starting to drool like crazy, he chews on his fists and fingers and is very fussy. Poor guy.. Well he is waking up now so i better go.. Love you all

PS Congrats to the Cavanaugh's , they had their baby girl yesterday, Alivia Ann. She is precious.!!
