7 Months Today!

Can you believe it! Brody is 7 months! It is weird to think this time last year I was pregnant with him.... I am so exicted to see him next week opening his christmas gifts...

I havent taken his " I am 7 months" picture yet. but I did get a pretty great picture of him on his hands and knees!! Go Brody!!!

Brody has been a little pickle today. i am thinking he is over tired from the lack of sleep last night. I decided to try pumpkin on him. He ate it and than a few hours later i went in to check him after many little crys and he had pooed him self... it wasent a lot but i could tell my little man was in gas hell... So he slept with us last night. I how ever did not get any sleep because between Ron, Brody and Victoria hogged the bed.

Tonight will be a better night... I hope!

6 month Photo!

O no!

We have a little man that is starting to slowly get up on his knees!!! yeah Brody! i cant wait to see him try to take him first crawl!!! He is getting so big! I am just in love with him more and more every day!

What a week!

Brody has had a busy week.
He had his 6 month appt on Wednesday. He is a big guy!!!
20lbs (80%)
27 inches (55%)
head is 17 1/2 I don't remember the %

The Dr said he is very strong and can see him crawling soon. I better get a jump on baby proofing, just in case.
He received 4 shots and did great. He cried for a few minutes but I think that was due to it being past his nap time.
Now the suckie part of Brody's wee. During his appt I spoke to the Dr regarding a concern I had with Brody. He has hair down there. So I asked her about and she was like "o Erin it is probably just peach fuzz". Then she opened his diaper and was like wow! So she sent us to go get blood drawn to check his hormone levels.
so off to the hospital we go...
Brody do as well as he could getting his blood drawn. They had 2 techs in there one to hold his arm down and the other to draw. It took a good 5 minutes to find a vein. Brody started to get cranky, he holding his and someone else holding his arm down, he was getting down right pissed. Finally they found a vein and Brody started to cry, they hadn't even poked him yet, than they did and he went ballistic! Crying screaming, but no tears, than his eyes rolled back and he was quite! I freaked out, then after what felt like forever he woke back up and screamed again. I thought they were done when they took the needle out, so I picked him up and they were like, "we didn't get enough, we need more"..! What! are you kidding me! So on to the next arm. Brody did not like this and instantly the big crocodile tears shot out from his eyes and he turned beat red.......after digging around in his arm for what again felt like for ever they finally found the vein and started the blood draw again. With in a few seconds Brody again went quite and eyes went back in his head. With in a few seconds he woke and started screaming again... My poor baby, did he pass out 2 times during this whole ordeal? I feel so helpless. Finally they were done with the draw and I picked him up and he looked at the nurse and smiled at her, cocked his head and than proceeded to puke on her! LOL that's my boy....

We are awaiting the results!

On a good note Brody saw Santa yesterday!! He did awesome!

The Many Faces of Brody

So it has been a long time!

It has been so long since I have done this! Well Brody is 6 months old! Can you believe it? HE is sitting all by him self.. no sign of rolling yet but he is a big guy so it might take a bit longer for him.

Well we did have to get a scan on his little head, we thought he might have needed a helmet for a flat spot. Well nope no helmet for Brody!!!

He is eating solids like a champ! We are acutally doing cherrios in the am! he tries to get them from his hand to his mouth, it is so funny!

He decided today that he likes to go backwards! so backwards he goes! it is cute he can turn him self in circles and than go backwards to where he wants to go! o man!!!! well that is all i can think of for now! on to the pics!

Hormonal

I am totally hormonal today! Brody spent the night at my parents last night! it was great. i got to sleep, play on the computer for a few. slept all night! it was awesome! so today i was at work excited to see the little bugger when i get home. well my parents asked if they could keep him another night.. i decided to let them since they don't see him often. i am sitting here wanting to cry! i miss him sooo much! it is great to have another night with just Ron and i but i miss my baby.
it amazes me how much you can love something so small. i worry he wont remember me when he sees me. i know he will but i worry he misses me and i am not there.
i just miss my little man.

3 months

Wow Brody is 3 months old! I cant believe it! It has been a great month,very busy! Brody had his first Bug rode trip. We went up north to the up. to republic island. the drive was 10 hours, he did amazing. He slept very well up there, had his first dip in the river, well his toes. He didn't like it very much. He didn't like the drive home very much. I cant wait until next year when he can actually enjoy his time up there.

The weekend we got home Brody decided to sleep through the night (8-2-08) he did it 2nights in a row! I was so excited thinking it would last.........nope it didn't :( o well. He is smiling a ton and laughing and talking so much! I am so enjoying watching him grow up, but I am so sad to see him getting bigger. I want him to stay small........

Brodys First Big Trip

Were leave on sunday to go up north to Republic Island! 8 hours away! we will see how little mr man does with the long ride! I will defanitly have lots of pictures to post when we get back!

2 months wow

Our baby is 2 months!

Weight 12 lbs 13 oz (75%)
Height 23 inches (50%)
head 15 1/4 (25%)

Shot went OK. He got a deep shade of red and let out the most heartbreaking cry I have ever heard. Slept most of the day and night. I think he did very well for his first set of shots!

I can not believe how fast it has gone. I suck at this whole blogging thing. Must blog more often.
Brody is doing amazing. Started smiling a little bit at 8 weeks, starting to talk more which is awesome to hear. Last night (7-18-08) he slept 6 hours!! It was awesome. He is having his first sleep over at grandmas (My Parents) tonight. We will see how he does. Me on the other hand didn't take it very well. I cried!!!! I know I know I am a dork!

Brody had his first wedding last weekend (7-12-08) and first time in a hotel. He did very well. Might I also add Ron did awesome taking care of him all weekend when I had to do my bridesmaid duties! I love each and every moment I have with him!


Next big hurdle I will have is going back to work August 6th.

1 month old

Brody turned 1 month yesterday! can you believe it 1 month all ready. It has gone by so fast. I still am trying to get use to the fact that no one is going to come get him and that he is really mine and I get to keep him.... He is staying awake more and more and sleeping ok some nights and not so good others. I am hopeing he gets use to sleeping through the night soon. 1 month of no solid sleep is starting to wear on me..... But it is all so worth it. Watching him nursing at night is defanitly a special time. So peaceful.. I cant wait to see what the the next month brings!!!

Getting Big

He is over 8 lbs so far!!! He is amazing.
