19th Birthday!

Ahh, so I am over a week late on this, but ohhh well (:

I had my 19th birthday on June 20th! And it was thee best birthday I have had in quite a few years! During the day, we went four wheeling, while Ryan's parents watched the baby man. It was me, Ryan & our friend Candyce. Then my friend Karisha & her husband Anthony came out for a while! I had soo much fun, even though it was pretty windy for awhile. I have not been on a 4-wheeler in over a year, & I sooo missed it! I'm glad we got to go out for a while. I can't wait to go again, hopefully SOON! After that, we came home & my mom was getting everything ready for my b-day BBQ! My grandma, Aunt Carrie & 3 cousins-Chandelor, Zach & Hunter-came over to join us, along with Amanda, Bryce & Camden. We had hamburgers, hotdogs, pasta, chips, jello & I'm sure some more, but I can't remember! haha. But it was all quite nummy(: Then we had some cake & ice cream. (the best cake in the world, might I add. Costco babyyy!:) ) And I got my 'presents' haha. Which was all money. All I wanted for my birthday, was money so that I could buy a new camera(another post for another day!) Well, I ended up getting $355 from everyone!

After the BBQ, Me & Ryan had plans to go over to Candyce's house to hang out for the rest of the night, and Bransyn was going back up to hang out with his grandpa & grandma. Well, when I was trying to get everything ready for him for the night & getting him fed, Ryan kept telling me to hurry, & telling me we needed to go, blah blah blah. I still took my sweet time, cause little did I know.. I really did need to hurry! haha. On our way up to Ryan's house, he keeps trying to find an excuse to get me over to Candyce's before we go drop the baby off. He finally got me with "Candyce needs to get something out of the trailer on the side of their house, & we have the keys to it, and she wants to see Bransyn." (we had to take her 4-wheelers back to their storage unit & had the keys to it, so he pretended that there was a key to their trailer on it) So I say, okay we'll just stop by real quick, then take Bransyn up to your house. We get there, & I was just planning on staying in the car while Ryan ran the keys in & Candyce came out to see Bransyn. He tells me, no... lets just go in for a second. So I say, fine & get outta the car & go to get the baby out. Ryan tells me he'll get him & for me to just go in. Sooo, I go open the door & hear 'SUPRISE!' Ha, I was sooo uhhh, suprised?! hahah. They had planned a suprise party for me! Awe. (: I was soo happy that everyone came to celebrate my birthday with me! And I had soo much fun that night! It was good to see & hang out with everyone! Thank you soo much Candyce, Ryan & Devin for planning & shopping for it. And thanks to everyone else for coming! I had a great birthday :D

7 Months!

Can you believe in only five short months, my baby will be a whole year old?! I sure can't. If time could only go by this fast while your pregnant! But I sure do love watching him learn all of these new things. Welll, in the past month.. he has completely mastered crawling! He is so dang fast now. He's soo funny when he does it sometimes too.. if he doesn't want his knee's on the carpet or tile, he will use his feet, instead. haha. It's the funniest thing. He's ALWAYS pulling himself up on things, & 'cruisin'. I don't know how many times a day he goes into the kitchen & stands up on the chairs & barstools, and I have to go running in there to get him before he falls and hits his head on the hard tile. He can now go UP the stairs. & he thinks it's pretty dang fun, too! I just need to teach him how to go down backwards, so that he has less of a chance of falling down them.. one of my biggest fears. (The house I babysit in has a case of stairs, & they are having a gate built for it... but haven't quite gotten it done just yet. But I'd still like him to know how to go up & down stairs, just in case) His vocabulary still consists of one word... mama mama mama. Welll, if you don't count the 'baby talk'. haha. When he wakes up, he will sit up in his bed & say, 'MAMA!' in his little sad, tired voice. And of course, I just have to pick him up & give him loves. How could you resist cuddling your sweet baby boy, that just wants his mama?! (: Ahh, I love this kid! I am trying to teach him 'Dada'... but he is just not going for it! haha. He is a pro at feeding himself his little snacks. I give him Gerber Graduates Puffs, Yogurt Melts & Cheese Puff things. He knows exactly what they are & how to eat them. He even does the 'chewing' thing, to help mush them up. I give him high chair time, & give him a couple snacks & a sippy with juice. He loves it(: He is starting to understand the word no. Whenever he is doing something he is not supposed to (ex. trying to put my flip-flops in his mouth, going after our mean cat, ect.) I will tell him no, & sometimes he will actually stop and go do something else! It doesn't work all the time yet, though.. but hopefully soon he will fully understand it! He knows how to get all of his toys out of the basket... dump them. Yeah, that makes a fun mess for mommy to clean up. haha. And now he's actually starting to play with his toys more now. He's so silly, he'll actually put some toys in his mouth so that he can use both hands to crawl to another spot. It's usually his little stuffed animals, or links. But it's hilarious. He's in his big boy carseat now. Ahh, sad day. I think he likes it better though, since it sits him up more & he can see out the windows. Buttt, I do miss the days where if he fell asleep in the car, I could just take the whole seat inside with me so that he could stay sleeping. Now I have to get him out, & usually just un-doing the buckle will wake him up. I believe he is going through a seperation anxiety stage.(either that or he's just a biiiig ol' mama's boy! haha) He does not like to have me out his sight, and half the time.. he won't even let me put him down. Sometimes when someone is watching him in the living room(while I shower, get ready, ect.), he'll actually go crawling down the hallway looking for me. He is doing better with going to sleep atleast somewhat on his own. He used to have a reallly hard time going to sleep without being nursed.. now I can just rock him, sing to him or put him in his swing & he will get tired enough & fall asleep when I put him in his bed. OH, & he LOVES me to sing 'You are my sunshine' to him! It's our song(: But the other night, I actually put him in his bed at bedtime completely awake, & he went right to sleep! I did not hear a peep out of him. Sometimes when we do that, he will fuss or cry for a minute before falling asleep. I tried that again last night, & it did not work. haha. But hopefully he will start doing it more! Hmm. I think that is all, well atleast all that I can remember right now! My baby boy is growing up :( Can someone please make this slow down?! I wanna enjoy this whole baby thing longer! Even though we are having soo much fun with him. I just miss my teeensy baby.


Ohh, and I am very proud to announce...that very unwanted baldspot that was on the back of his head, is growing back quite nicely! Happpy Day! (:

Stupid phone :/

Ughh, so I am verrrry annoyed with my phone right now, and verizon. Last week, the '#' button (the space button for texting) completely stopped working. Which makes it suuuuper hard to text. I now have to replace the spaces, with ... so that the words don't get all smooooshed together. Very irritating. I hate having to text people back, because I feel like they're gonna get annoyed with all the ...... ! haha. So I have started using yahoo to text while I am around a computer. Super fun, right?! No. On to problem number TWO. Whenever I would open or close my phone too 'hard' (I have an LG chocolate.. a slider phone) it would just turn off! It stopped doing that after a few days.. but now it will just randomly turn off, even if it's just sitting there! ERRRRG! NEXT problem-It will not charge, unless I sit & HOLD the freaking charger in there really hard, & in a certain spot & angle. WTH?! I can't sit & hold it there for it to charge for an hour, I have a 7 month old that is into everything, that I am constantly chasing after. I don't have time for that. Welll, the day after the button stopped working & it would turn off when I would open or close it, I took it into verizon to see if they would replace it since it was a 'manufacter problem' They tell me that my one year warranty is up (funny since I have only had THIS phone since November-which is a replacement from my LAST chocolate phone that had issues-Maybe they go from the date that I first purchased my ORIGINAL phone?! Who knows.) so they won't replace it for free, but since I have insurance I can pay $50 to get a new one. Yeah, I do not have an exra $50 to spare right now. Orrr, that I can wait until my upgrade is available on July 26. Ughh, so I choose to just wait.. since I would like to get a new phone when I have my upgrade anways. Welll, a while ago.. Amanda's phone dropped out of her purse without her knowing, & got ran over. So my mom decides to take it in to see if she can pay the $50 to get it replaced, since she too has insurance on her phone. They end up replacing this phone for FREEE! WHAT THE FREAK!!!! Here I am having problems with my phone, that aren't even my fault.. it's the phone's fault.. and they won't even replace it for me. But they replace Amanda's phone that got ran over-which she is resposnible for- for absolutely nothing?! Keep in mind Amanda got her phone like a week after I got mine. It's been WELL over a year now. They told my mom that her insurance acts as an extended warrenty. Why the heck does this not apply to MY phone?! We have the same exact insurance on them. So I went back to Verizon yesterday to talk to them about this, and let them know of my NEW problems.. but it was PACKED. By the time I checked in, there was 13 people ahead of me, just waiting with phone problems. Another 7 for sales. I was there for half an hour, & a total of three people were helped. I was not about to stand there with a baby for another few hours.

Sooo, moral of the story is.. don't text me if you don't wanna see .... replacing the spaces, or if you don't want me answering from my yahoo(:

AND, if I do not answer your text.. it is because my phone has decided to be retarded and shut off on its own.

hahaha, Camden was NOT happy with Bransyn.
And alll Bransyn wanted to do was play with him :(
