Maybe

Maybe, just maybe I can make this work! :)

 

It's been almost two whole years since I have written a post. I promise I have had good intentions, but time and motivitation have seemed to be a constant battle!

 

Hopefully I will be back very soon, but for now, I will leave you with a picture of a cute, almost 3 year old!!

 

 

1 year!

Hard to believe one year has already gone by.

Hard to believe this little bundle...
Is now this big bundle. :)
He is such a delight.

Brandon just had his 1 year checkup and weighed in at 24 lbs, and was 31 inches long. He always jumping, probably due to his love of the jumperoo when he was a bit younger. This in turn, as turned his legs rock solid! He is certainly a strong boy.
He is saying lots of things now. Daddy, Dada, bye bye, ball, kitty, Mom, Mama, "I did it", and lots of other jibberish. :)

He loves to play with his cousins, and especially loves his cousin Hayden. This boy can make Brandon smile, even when he is fussy. :)

He is eating all table food, and getting picky. He is also being weaned off formula and drinking milk. He still wants a bottle before his naps and at bedtime. He is not fond of a sippy cup, but will try it. Give him a cup with a straw and he is in heaven.
He is getting close to taking off and walking on his own. He has been standing by himself quite a bit, lets go of furniture and doesn't hold on tight anymore. He enjoys "walking" on his knees all of a sudden, but will often try to stand up from this position and take a step.
He loves his blankies.

We recently had his 1 year birthday party, so I will try to get pictures of that up soon. :) My good camera's lense broke, so I had to use my old point and shoot camera while I wait for my new one to come in. Blah..oh well, it captured some memories, and I'm glad to have them, even if they are a bit grainy. :)

9 months

I wish I could freeze time. I love this stage of life with Brandon. He brings such joy to our lives.

He just reached his 9 month milestone a couple weeks ago. It's really hard to believe how fast time is going by. I have to restrain myself often and not go back to look at his newborn pictures because it certainly gives me the baby desire! :) But, most times, I do it anyway. :)

Few fun things:

**We had to lower his crib now because he has learned how to pull up to the rail.

**Instead of army crawling all the time he is finally crawling on all fours some.

**He finally had his bottom tooth pop through Sunday afternoon. Now the one next to it is going to be making an appearance.

**Brandon loves pulling himself up to the couch now. He's gotten quite fast at doing so, but hasn't quite grasped the concept of holding on, no pun intended. :) Once he is up he tries walking along it, but lets go as he does it, usually ending up with him crashing to the floor. But, he is eager to do it all over again.

**He loves table food, and still has to sample from our plate. Still loves drinking from a straw!

**He had his 9 month check-up back on the 11th. He is 20 lbs and 30 inches tall. Everything looks good!

Here are a few pictures I captured a week or so ago.
