Long picture post! (:

New bed!

We FINALLY got around to getting Bransyn a crib (Ha, 9 months later. . . ) And it has been SO much nicer! He still doesn't sleep in his own bed through out the night, comes in bed with me at about 5 or 6 AM. But having him out of his pack-n-play has been a lot easier. And he definitely likes it better too! Right after I set it up, he was jumpin allll around in it & walking from one end to another, just laughing! He likes it more as a jungle gym then a bed. haha.

Grandma's little helper.

He's always gotta be in the kitchen with grandma either watching or helping! Whether she's cooking, or washing dishes. He loooves to be right there with her. The other day she was making pasta & had to drain the water out of it, so she had me take B so that he didn't get burnt, & he got soo upset over that! He thought I was gonna take him away so he couldn't watch anymore!



nap time.

He has fallen asleep like this a total of three times. But ONLY in Lilly's crib. (the 6 month old I babysit) I promise his crib is not pink like that (; It is sooo funny to see him do this! But then I have to lay him down so that he doesn't hurt his back, & that usually wakes him up :/

Why even buy toys?!

This kid would rather pay with dishes, than the million toys we have for him. I think if we got him some cups for his birthday & some measuring spoons for Christmas, he'd be happy!

yee-haw!

Bransyn used to be OBSESSED with this little horsey jumper. But for the past couple of months, he didn't want a thing to do with it! Then randomly the other day, my mom put him in there & he was in love with it again! He had so much fun jumping. I think he just likes to be able to jump & bounce!

Little Stinker!

So Bransyn has learned how to open the lid on his puffs. Well, one day I was showing Ryan a few things on the computer that I would like to get Bransyn for his birthday-B was playing with his toys on the floor right next to us- I look down & see puffs ALLL over the floor, & he is just sitting there eating & kicking them! haha. His diaper bag was on the floor by him & he went & grabbed the puffs out of it, (since he knows exactly what they are) opened it & dumped half the thing on the floor! Ahh, silly boy.


About 15 minutes after the puffs incident, I hear Bransyn over by the pantry pouring out the dogs food! So I run over there, & he's got half of it poured out and sticking some in his mouth! (I just have to add -- RYAN was the one that was supposed to be watching him ;) So I get all the dog food out of his mouth & hands, & keep him there, so that Ryan could go grab the camera. . . cause this was just TOO funny to not have pictures of (: Well, the second I let go of his hands, he had two handfuls of dog food goin towards his mouth. He got one piece in, so I dig it out of his mouth. Before I can catch the other hand, he's got another piece in his mouth! haha. I finally got it all out of his mouth & hands & him AWAY from there. He was NOT happy with me! That dog food must of been some gooood stuff! (EWWW)

Those two were the things I was gonna post about before, but the pictures wouldn't upload! (:


Hangin' out with dad.
Bransyn LOVES hanging out with his daddy & helping him do things! He thought watering the plants with the hose was pretty dang cool. He kept shaking the hose & thought that was pretty funny(:

Daddy was teachin B how to play golf! He had soo much fun. . .he didn't want to stop! I'm glad he has a dad that can teach him how to play sports & get him into them!


silly babes.
Both Bransyn & Camden LOVE to play by the back door & look out the window. Well, one day I went outside to take pictures of them standing up next to window in the door, & they started smudging their faces up against the window! It was SO funny. They are definitely crazy boys ;)



Okay, sorry so long. . . I am just SO behind on posting pictures & updates! I am gonna try to do this every Sunday, from pictures throughout the previous week. So next time it won't be so lonnnng! haha (:

9 Months!

Bransyn has now spent the same amount of time OUT of my belly, as he did INSIDE of my belly! So crazy to think! But WHY does time have to go by sooo much faster these past 9 months? So not fair. Anyways. . .
He is just getting cuter & funner with every passing day. He has the absolute CUTEST personality a person could ever have. And he brings so much joy to our lives. Well, this past month he has started doing quite a few new things. The biggest thing being, as I announced in my last post, WALKING!!! Seriously, my son is a genius. How many babies start walking at 8 ½ months?! He is so determined to do things, & he definitely goes for it! (Have I mentioned how much I LOVE that about him?!) He’s getting really good at it now, too. And he gets so excited when he makes it far without falling! And now, he doesn't even have to hold onto something to pull himself up to start walking. . . he just stands right up & goes! GO B!!! He would still rather crawl everywhere, just cause he's super fast, but he is getting better at walking to get to what he wants now. He’s clapping. And when he claps, he says ‘YAY!’ haha. So now, when he does something good, we’ll start doing that and he’ll join in & get the biggest smile on his face. He loves when we clap for him! He just recently started waving Bubye. I’ve been trying to teach him how to do it for a while. . . Whenever we would go somewhere or someone would leave us, we would always say Bubye & start waving. And he finally picked up on it. Now he waves Bubye at HIMSELF. . . ALLLL day long! Haha. He even says ‘buh’ (hasn’t quite gotten the ‘bye’ part down yet. Haha) Hmm, He now has EIGHT teeth. top four & bottom four. The two most recent ones actually just came in a few days ago. . . so they weren't until AFTER he turned 9 months. . . but oh well (: He is seriously the BEST teether. We have really only had a problem with one of his teeth, where he was a bit more fussy than usual. But with the others, if it wouldn’t of been for the big swollen gums, constant drool & runny nose. . . I would of never known he was teething! I was soo worried about him getting teeth, cause I HATE to see him in pain & unhappy. But it seems like they don’t even phase him! He’s such a strong, brave boy! (: Definitely did NOT get that from mommy. Haha. He’s such a little dare-devil already! He absolutely LOVES to be thrown in the air. Every time we do it, he starts cracking up! And never wants us to stop. He climbs on EVERYTHING. I swear the kid has no fear. Even when he falls off of something, he doesn’t care. He’s right back on it within a matter of seconds. He’s my little monkey baby. He thinks it’s hilarious when I jump up & down with him. NO clue why that could be soo funny, but he loves it. And then when I stop after like, uhh 3 or 4 times (it gets exhausting, haha) he starts bouncing up & down, and if I don’t start doing it again, he’ll kinda squeal, wrap his arms around my neck & bite me. Hahah. It’s so cute & funny, but of course I’m trying to teach him that it’s not nice to bite, so I have to pull him away & tell him no. Oh, & he is turning into quite the little bully! He is NOT very good at sharing his toys with Camden. Every time Cam has a toy, and Bransyn spots him with it, he’s after it. And he’ll go take it away from him. Then when Camden moves onto another toy, little bully boy is over to steal that one too! It’s like he’s only interested in something if someone else has it. He’s also starting to whack people with things. (ex. The rubber spatula he’s obsessed with, a little toy bat that came with one of his toys, water bottles, ect.) We tell him ‘NO’ every time he does it, but he thinks it’s funny. He is starting to learn now though, because when he starts to do it.. He’ll kinda look over at me & wait for me to tell him no. He does the same thing when I tell him ’NO’ for not sharing toys. Little stinker (: I'm actually VERY surprised he has not started saying no yet. . . he hears it more then any other word, he should be catching on my now! haha. But he IS shaking his head no. But not as in he's saying no. He just thinks it's funny. And he absolutely LOVES when we do it with him. haha. He'll just bust up laughing. Hmm. He’s now getting 3 solid meals a day. . . Sometimes. I give him rice cereal/oatmeal for breakfast, a fruit or veggie for lunch, & a dinner meal for uhh, obviously dinner. He used to be really good at eating them, but now he’s not so interested. He would rather have ‘big people’ food. Which he does get sometimes, if it’s safe for him to have. (Sometimes I do substitute his 'meal' for what we're eating) I can't wait until he can have everything & he gets to 'retire' from the puree's. Unfortunately, I do not know how big he is this month! His pedi does not need to see him again until 12 months, since he is caught up on all of his shots. Booo. I would guess he is somewhere around 18 pounds, though? Hm. I wish I had a baby scale! Anyways, that is my update on my little baby love! Pictures soon to come! (I might even do that now, since he's with daddy for a while. . . we'll see (: )

UGH. So I had something to blog about... Butttt, can't do it without including the pictures. And this stupid freaking thing will not let me upload pictures! I have been trying for TWO days! Grrrr. AND, it won't let me copy & paste from a photo upload site.





I am not happy about this.




So, I guess I will move onto the NEXT thing I was gonna blog about, & come back to this one in a few days... (cause it's tooo cute to not post [: )



if you haven't heard yet;

baby man is walking.
Yes. My EIGHT month old baby is walking.
He started last Friday, taking up to 3 steps at a time.
And only if me or Ryan would stand him up & tell him to come to us.
But now, the kid is taking 8+ steps at a time, and doing it
completely by himself, (meaning he will stand up on his own, see something
he wants & start walking to it) sometimes.
We do have to stand him up occasionally.
He is so determined to do things, it's crazy.
I love that about him.


AND, he now has 5 teeth.
with 3 more workin their way in.
poor kid.

Need some ideas!

Soo, I believe the time has come for me to start planning my baby's FIRST birthday party. Something I have been dreading for quite some time now. :(
ANYWAYS. I am having a harrrd time trying to think of somewhere to have it at. I so wish we could just do it at a park, that would be sooo easy! Enough room for everyone, and a place for all the kids to play. Butttt, November does not have ideal park weather. So. That idea's out. I'm thinkin a house would be tooo small. Jumping Jacks has been mentioned.. but I don't know how much that would cost, or even what our budget will be for this party. haha. And, also with flu season & all that, I don't know how many people would want their children playing on all the things there. Pirate Island Pizza has also been mentioned, but I have yet to go there as well, so I don't know how big it is there, & if we would have enough room for everyone. BLAH. So, If anyone has A N Y ideas, please let me know! (:
