3 1/4 years.

Mr. Brans is already a fourth of the way to four! Whewww, this is goin craaazy fast. Here's what the little bugger has been up to for the past little while :

• he no longer uses a sippy cup (hasn't for a while now, actually) he is 100% drinking out of a regular cup, and home boy rocks it. he very rarely spills, and does so, so good with it!

• I'm pretty sure he is practicing to become a professional arguer. it is insane. this kid will argue with ANYONE on ANYTHING. You say, 'the sky is blue' and he will argue that until the cows come home.

• he can dress himself if I ask him to. but when he doesn't want to, he will say he's not strong enough, or start whining. so i have to remind him that he needs to TRY before he whines, or says that he can't do it.

• he's stripped down to his undies by 11am, usually. kids a stripper.

• one day he came up to me asking for chocolate milk, and he was picking his nose. I told him he better stop picking his nose if he wanted chocolate milk. so he put his other hand up to block me from seeing him pick his nose. when he was done, he asked for chocolate milk again. I asked him why he was picking his nose, and he said, "cause I have boogers in it, and I need to get them out." so I said, "well you need to get a tissue instead of using your finger." and he said, "no, cause I gotta use my finger to push them out. then I pick them and eat them. pick pick pick the boogers out."

• he got this truck for Christmas, it looks like a semi truck, but the back of it carries tools in it. the wheels, and the stacks come off with the tools. it's pretty nifty. but anyway, he named this truck allll by himself. it's name is "Pater" makes me laugh every time he says it, cause he totally just rhymed that with "Mater" which I actually think is pretty smart of him to already know how to rhyme stuff :)

• he reenacts scenes from the movie Cars. he'll get his Mac truck, his mater, and his Lightening McQueen cars, and act out the scenes from Cars. it is beyond cute, and SO SMART if I may say, because how many 3 year olds remember scenes word by word from a movie and reenact it?! (granted, he HAS seen this movie eight thousand times, but that's beside the point... he's still a smart little cookie ;)

• if I say a line from a movie, he will tell me what it's from.

• he's always saying random words. like, making them up and we have no idea what he is saying! haha

• he also says REAL words that we have NO idea where he got them from. (not swear words, haha) like, big words. and he'll say the most random phrases.

• one day we were in the car getting ready to leave, and I put the kids in their seats while I put some other stuff in the car. well, Taislee was tired, and crying, so Bransyn started talking to her, and suddenly I hear him say, "where's the baby?! THERE HE IS!" and I look over at him, and he's covering his eyes while he says the 'where's the baby' part, then moves his hands and in a deeper voice says the 'there he is' part. Taislee started CRACKING UP. he'll do that every time she cries now to cheer her up, it is just the cutest thing in the world. he's such a nice big brother ♥

• when he asks for chocolate milk, he asks me "can I have some fresh brown milk?" and it's ONLY the pre-made kind, that comes in the milk gallon. if it's just mixing ovaltine with regular milk, he will just ask for chocolate milk. I think it is so dang hilarious how he puts the 'fresh' part in there. every once in a while, he'll ask me for some "fresh white milk", too! haha

• one day when he got up to the counter to eat his lunch, he looks at it & says "this is the best lunch I ever seen!" of course he didn't really eat it, but just the fact that he randomly said that was super silly.

• one day he came up to me and told me to throw one of his little foam puzzle pieces like a frizbee, so I do, then he excitedly says to me, "Good job, mommy!" and kept doing it!

• he is still not a huge eater. I don't know WHY, but the kid just doesn't like to eat. it is SO hard, because obviously he NEEDS to eat, and it is a struggle getting him to eat 3 meals a day. he is still the pickiest kid on the planet, too. which makes things even MORE difficult! he loves breakfast food, and of course Nutella. so he thinks that's what he should have for every meal. it's hard to tell him no on that, because at least he would be eating if I gave him that, but then again, we need to teach him that lunch/dinner is lunch/dinner, and he needs to eat what is given to him. if he doesn't like it, that's a different story... we wouldn't force him to eat something he truely doesn't like (I HATED being forced to eat something that was making me gag because it was so gross) but the thing is, he DOES NOT even TRY it before he says he doesn't like it. so it usually takes us a good half an hour of bribing/begging to get him to TRY his food, which 98% of the time, he actually ends up LIKING. super stressful. I'm really hoping he grows out of this, because it is seriously one of the hardest things to deal with!

• when I give him food, he will always say stuff like "I loooooove chicken!" or "I looooooove green beans!" (and yes, he TOTALLY puts the emphasis on the ooooo part! haha) but then I tell him to eat it if he loves it so much, and he won't. I don't know why he says he 'loooooves' it, if he won't even eat it! haha

• one day I heard him yelling/screaming in the kitchen, so I told him to stop because Tais was sleeping, and he says to me in the MOST soft and innocent little voice ever, "I'm just saying rawr. I'm just a tiger saying rawr. I'm not screaming."
• one day we went out to breakfast, and he saw those little packets of jam on the table, and asked for one. he had Ry open it, then grabbed his spoon and started eating the jam right out of the packet!

• I'm pretty sure he has no understanding of what "be quiet, your sister is sleeping" means. he wakes her up from being loud all.the.time.

• we were at walgreens one day, and we passed the toy aisle, so of course, Brans had to stop and look at all of the toys. after letting him play with the center aisle display of some toy cars for a  few minutes, I told him it was time to go. he told me he was still playing. so I told him okay, I'm leaving then! (usually when he doesn't want to leave somewhere, I tell him i'm leaving and he will instantly walk away and come with me!) he said okay, and just continued playing. I went and stood at the end of the aisle, where he couldn't see me, but I could see him. he just continued playing, thinking I was gone. other people started to walk down the aisle, and he would kind of stop playing & look at them, then look around for me, then go right back to playing with the cars. about 15 minutes passes, and I'm STILL watching him, just waiting for him to come looking for me. all of a sudden, I see him doing a little dance, and looking down at his feet. he peed his pants. AWESOME. so this is when I go tell him he is done playing, and we are going because he just peed his pants. he starts screaming, and trying to get away from me, kicking me, hitting me, scratching me, biting me! it was horrible. I get up to the register to pay, and everyone is looking at me - the lady holding onto the screaming child so that he doesn't run away! it's finally my turn to pay for my stuff, and the cashier asked what happened, so I told her. she tells me, "next time bring the toy up with him, and I'll take it after you're done paying." ummmmmm. no. because then he's going to THINK we're buying it, and throw an even bigger fit when he has to give it back! haha. so I left the store with my hand ALL scratched up, and it was probably the most embarrassing thing I have ever experienced! haha, he got to ride home with no pants & no undies on, cause it was supposed to be just a quick trip, and he usually tells me when he needs to go potty, so I didn't have any extras.

• he is so obsessed with playing with his tractors and trucks in the dirt, it's been hard on him with it being too cold some days to not be able to go play with them. one day he was begging me to go out back, and it was rainy, and freezing outside, plus he was working on getting over a cold, so I told him that he couldn't because I didn't want him to get even sicker, and be cold. He tells me, "but I love being cold, and I love being sick!"  now every time he wants to go play in the dirt, he tells me "I love being cold! can I go play with my dump trucks?!"

• I asked him what my  name was one day, trying to see if he remembered my actual name, and he tells me "mommy" so I say, "what's my other name?" and he answers with "mommy Tabet" haha. I'm glad he gets the concept of last names, even if he doesn't realize that I have a different last name than him!

• he loves to climb into Taislee's bed and play with her in there. they have the funnest time jumping around in there with each other :)  kind sucks when he does it when she's supposed to be taking a nap, though!

• he is CONSTANTLY asking to go to the farm. yeahhh... the farm we went to in OCTOBER. every time I tell him that they are closed until Halloween comes again, and he always tells me, "NO! THEY'RE OPEN!" don't ask me how he STILL remembers 4 months later, this kid has one heck of a memory!

• one day he was in the kitchen playing with is toys, and I kept hear him saying over & over, "who let the dogs out? ruff, ruff!" it was HILARIOUS.

• we went to the wildlife museum here last month, and the whole time we were walking through it, he kept pointing to the animals and saying, "That's an ELK! That's a BIG HORNED SHEEP! That's a DEER!" kid knows his animals, and as much as I don't want him to, he's gonna be a hunter just like his daddy and grandpa! :(

• he'll randomly start dancing, and say "go Bransyn, go Bransyn!" or he'll do 'tricks' or dance, and tell me to say that! haha

• he likes to share. but ONLY if it's something of YOURS that he wants some of. if I have some candy, he'll say, "let's share, mommy!" but if he has something, and you say let's share, it takes a little bit of begging to get him to share ;)  although, one day we were laying in bed snuggling, and he says to me, "let's share, mommy" and puts half of his blanket over me. melted.my.heart.

• he pronounces words that start an 'SM' or an 'SP' with an F. so if he's saying smile, he says it like 'file' smelly is 'felly', smart is, uhh, well, I'll let you figure that one out ;)  if he says spoon, it's 'foon' or sparrow is 'farrow'

• he is obsessed with YouTube. like, COMPLETELY obsessed. he asks to watch 'monster truck mater' daily. he even knows how to choose other videos once monster truck mater is over. didn't think my THREE year old could know how to work a laptop! haha, he could literally sit on YouTube watching videos for HOURS if we let him!

• he loves playing games on my phone. I have a few toddler apps downloaded for him, and he knows how to get to every single one of them by himself, and what to do on all of them. i swear he's gonna know how to work my phone and computer better than me within the next few years! haha

• we got his hair cut a few weeks ago, and we had the guy put 'designs' in his hair, and now he loves showing them off :)

• he is a nose picker! AND booger eater! totally disgusting, I know! but the kid just won't stop. he thinks it's so funny. we tell him that if he doesn't stop, he'll grow a tail... apparently the kid want's a tail!

• 95% of the time that I tell him to get dressed, he asks "where are we going?!" thinking that he's just getting dressed because we are leaving the house. then when I tell him we're not going anywhere, we're just getting dressed, he says, "NO! WHERE WE GOING?!" so half the time I don't even dress him, because I know this will happen! haha

• every time we drive by Baskin Robbins, he says, "I want blue ice cream!" he gets 'blue ice cream' every time we go there, and he now knows exactly where it's at, so when he sees the places that surround it as we're driving by, he instantly starts talking about blue ice cream!

• he loooooves target! (just like his mama ;)  anytime I tell him we're going to the store, he asks, "are we going to TARGET?!" in a high pitched, excited voice. I feel so bad letting him down if we're not going there, haha. he always says he wants to "look at the toys, but not buy anything" haha. he also gets so excited when he realizes we're pulling into the parking lot, and says "Yay, we're at Target!"

• he announces when he farts. he'll either say, "I just farted" or "I just tooted". He'll also randomly say, "I hate to poop!" then run to the bathroom Umm, yeah... thanks for keeping us updated on your bodily functions, kid! haha

My THREE Year Old. . .

I seriously can't believe it has already been three years since I laid eyes on my sweet little boy for the very first time! It sure has been a crazy, but dang fun three years! He has grown SO dang much, and it is just amazing to watch him constantly learn new things, and change. I am so proud of this little man, he is so dang smart & is just the funniest little dude I have ever met. I am so very lucky to be his mama forever, I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world! :)

Here's what our THREE year old has been up to!

• he is obsessed with his daddy. he copies everything he does, and always wants to be with him. it's the cutest thing in the world!

• he is still very much into monster trucks, big trucks, cars, tractors, pretty much ANY vehicle. he has a billion, but every time he gets a new one, or sees a new one in the store, he gets soo excited! he just loves them.

• he loves to watch the old Disney classic movies lately. he loves the fox & the hound, lion king, 101 dalmatians, bambi, ect. he asks to watch them all the time! he still loves his other favorite movies, too... Cars, all the Toy Storys, Monsters Inc.

• he would stay up all night if we let him! he is definitely a night owl like his mama! he would also rather sleep in our bed than anywhere else!

• i'm pretty sure his grandpa is his most favorite person ever! he loves to do everything with him, and copies a lot of the things he does! i love that he has such a great relationship with him.

• he loooves to run across the wood floor, then slide on his knees.

• he is the BEST big brother out there! he loves his baby sister so much, it is just precious. he loves to make her laugh, and play with her. he has his moments where he isn't the best at sharing his toys, but for the most part he does really well!

• he has an AMAZING memory! he remembers people that he hasn't seen for months, he can remember events or just random things he sees, and will just start talking about them out of the blue! the other day, he asked Ryan to take the tires off of one of his little monster trucks (which I was not very happy about, because I HATE having toys taken apart, haha!) a few minutes later, he tells Ryan, 'they're just like at daddy's work!' we looked over at him, and he had 3 of the tires stacked on top of each other, and the 4th one was like stood up in the middle of the top one. at Ryan's work they have a tire display EXACTLY like that right outside, and we see it every time we stop by. I was shocked that he had remembered that, and had actually put together in his head what he needed to do to get the tires just like that. I wasn't mad about the tires being taken off after that :) It was so adorable!

• when he's eating something, he will randomly say 'I looooooove peaches' or whatever else he is eating! even if he refuses to eat it because he 'thinks' he doesn't like it (without even trying it, haha) he will still say it! haha, it's so funny!

• he has been better with eating the past month, or so. I decided to try something new with him, to get him to be better with eating. for lunch, I give him a variety of food, instead of just one or two things. usually, i'll give him some kind of sandwich, quesadilla, pizza bagel, or whatever else we have as the main thing. then I will give him like 3-5 different sides. some of his favorites are craisins, wheat crackers, cheese crackers, veggie straws (which he calls 'fries'), pretzels, chips, some kind of veggie, or fruit, a slice of turkey & cheese. he will usually eat ALL of it. with breakfast, we'll do oatmeal, cream of wheat, cereal, or nutella. he's reallly good with eating breakfast, too! dinner is a challenge sometimes, though. I definitely passed my pickiness down to him (although i'm not very picky anymore - I DEFINITELY was when I was a kid!) it is SO hard to get him to try something at dinner time. i'll put something on his plate, tell him what it is, then he will say 'I don't like ____' it gets really frustrating, especially because usually if I can get him to take a bit, he finds out that he really DOES like it, but just won't try it. I'm not sure why it's always at dinner time that he has issues, but we're working on it.

• he looooves baths! he would spend his whole day in the bathtub if we let him!

• he loves playing outside. especially in the dirt with his dump trucks & tractors!

• before he goes to bed every night, he says his goodnight routine to every one. 'Good night, sleep good, sweet dreams, see you in the morning, I looooooooove you!' cutest.thing.ever.

• he talks more & more every day. he learns new words that i have nooo idea where he got them from, and we understand him better every day. it's so crazy to have conversations with him now, especially when i think of how little he used to be. 

Bransyn is TWO!

And I just can not believe it! This kid has grown up right before our eyes. & wayyy too quick if you ask me! But of course, every day that I get to spend with him is just amazing. I love watching him grow & learn every single new thing. He is such a smart little boy & makes me SO proud. He is the funniest kid, & definitely keeps us laughing. He is the greatest blessing I could have ever asked for, & even two years later, I STILL can not believe he is my son, forever & ever. I just don't know what I could have done to of gotten so lucky. Every time I look at him, all I can think of is how perfect he is. I would not trade this kid for the world, even though he is a little turd sometimes ;) he is my turd & although there are some hard times in raising a 2 year old, every smile, every laugh, every kiss, every 'I love you, mama' makes everything SO worth it! I love you Mr. Bransyn Kieler, you are my sunshine forever & ever ♥


Onto his 24 month update :

• he can say the whole alphabet, but it's on his time. if you ask him to say it, he will say a, b, c, then be done. he even sings along with his 'ABC leap' that he got when he was only a few months old.

• he can count to ten, & sometimes he even says 'eleben, telve' but never right after 1-10.

• he does NOT like to have his diaper changed. i will notice that he is stinky, so I ask him if he pooped & he'll say no & run away so I can't check him. then when I finally DO get to changing him, he tells me 'be soft!' haha oh, and if I accuse him of pooping & he didn't, he gets alll bent out of shape.

• he repeats EVERYTHING. if someone is talking & he is listening, he will repeat as much as he can after them, and even use his hands just like they do. so cute!

• he is still having problems staying in his bed when we put him down. sometimes it takes me up to 2 hours to finally get him to stay in bed & go to sleep.

• I have taught him to say 'Bless You' when someone sneezes. except right now, it's just when I sneeze he says 'bess you, mama!' I looove it (: or sometimes I'll sneeze & he'll just go 'ahh choo!'

• every time he coughs, I say 'you okay, baby?' so now anytime I cough, he'll say 'otay mama?'

• he isn't too interested in the baby in mommy's tummy yet, sometimes he even tries to smack/hit my belly. but he also has his sweet moments where he will come up to me & just kiss my belly, & say 'nice, baby'

• I quit my babysitting job a few weeks ago, so now we get to snuggle in bed every morning for a while. I have to say, it is my most favorite part of the day!

• he loves watching his movies. his favorites are Monsters Inc, Cars, Finding Nemo, Toy Story 1 & Toy Story 3 (how funny is it that they are ALL Disney-Pixar movies?! :) he knows exactly which one is which when he goes to choose them out. he also likes to take them out of the case, open up the DVD player & put them in.

• he also likes to pull all of the dvd's off the shelf & open them all up. yeahhhh, trying to find a new place to put them that is up HIGH! hahah

• he is still crazily obsessed with chocolate milk. if he asks for some & I tell him we don't have any more, he act like his feelings are sooo hurt!

• I have never met a kid that loves trucks & cars sooo much in my life. he is totally obsessed, thanks to his dad. I knew he was gonna be into them just like Ry, but I didn't know it would be THIS much, THIS soon. he's gonna be truck/car smart just like his daddy (:

• he has a really good memory! he can go a while without seeing someone (even if it's someone he doesn't see very often in the first place) & remember their name. or if we see something one day & don't see it for a while, he'll know exactly what it is. An example: one day we were driving & we passed a truck pulling a horse trailer, so I told him to look! Well, about 2 weeks later, we passed a truck pulling one of those big white trailers (not with horses, though) & he says 'horsies in there!' even though there were no horses, he still remembered the big white trailer!

• he always puts 'right there' after everything he says. Mommy right there. Daddy right there. Truck right there. it's super funny (:

23 Months!

Only 1 more month until our silly little boy is TWO years old! Sounds crazy, I know... but it's true :(


• his favorite thing to say right now is 'Happy Birthday' I have NO idea why, but he says it alll the time. Sometimes I'll ask him, 'Who's birthday is it?' & he'll say 'Ash'

• he CAN say A-J of the alphabet, with no help. he has done it a few times, but sometimes he's a stinker & doesn't want to show off his skills ;)

• he will repeat numbers 1-10 after me, but can really only count to 3 on his own. he has done 1-5 once, but just that once.

•he's been sleeping a lot better. he still has some issues going right to sleep, but usually he will stay in his room at least.
-I think I have figured out WHY he has such a hard time going to sleep when we tell him to:
He used to take 2 naps a day - 1 around 10:30 am & 1 around 4 pm... both lasting about an hour each. A while ago, he stopped taking the 4pm one, so he was just having one nap in the morning, but it would last anywhere between 2-3 1/2 hours. Then, about 2 months ago, he stopped taking that one nap in the morning & would take it after we got home from babysitting, about 2:30-3 pm. Well since he's going down so late, he sleeps until about 6-7 pm. So when we put him down for bed, he's not quite tired yet. But he HAS to have a nap, or he is super grumpy & just plain unhappy. Hopefully we will have a fix to that problem soon (:

• he has been eating better! he still has his days where he doesn't eat much, but for the most part, he is eating more than usual at one sitting.

• he loves to 'hide, hide!' under a blanket, when either Ryan or I come home from somewhere.

• he saw a Red Robin commercial on TV one time, so now he loves to say 'Reddd Robin.... YUM!' One day when he was supposed to be taking a nap, I was out on the couch watching TV. It had been quiet in his room for quite awhile, so I thought he was asleep. Then a Red Robin commercial came on, & all of a sudden I hear his door open & he goes, 'Reeeed Robin....*very long pause*....YUM!' Then proceeds to close the door.

• he has quite the attitude, these days! if he doesn't get his way, he is NOT happy! Another story for ya: I was waiting for one of my shows to come on one night (Teen mom :) And I got some oreo's out. He came up to me & asked for one, so I handed him one. He went over to the table in the living room, took 1 bite & put it down, then he came back for another one. I told him that if he wanted another one, he had to eat the first one all gone. So of course, he starts throwing a fit. So I told him if he was gonna be a brat, he could go to his room. So he starts walking towards his room, stops, turns around, walks over to the TV, turns it off, looks at me & gives me the EVILEST glare, then walks to his room. I could not believe he did that, but I am STILL laughing about it today!

• he's actually starting to like watching movies now. the one he's been watching a lot lately, is Monsters Inc.

• his favorite TV shows right now are, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (he loves the hotdog dance!) & Chuggington... of course since he loves 'choo choo chain'. he'll take a little bit of Handy Manny some days, but others when it's on, he'll come up to me & say 'Hanny Manny' while shaking his head no.

• when he doesn't want something, he'll shake his head no while saying it. like, if he wants a drink, I'll ask him if he wants moo juice (milk) or apple juice. then he'll say 'moo juice' while shaking his head no, & 'appo juice' while shaking his head yes.

•he will repeat pretty much anything you ask him to! he might not pronounce everything right, but he definitely tries!



I just can't believe that my next 'month day' post will be about a TWO YEAR OLD!

22 Months!

Just 2 months away from the big 2! Can't believe it!


• he has finally graduated from his baby shampoo/soap & is onto the big kid stuff! I got him a kind that has a picture of a monkey on the bottle, so we call it hims 'Monkey Shampoo' but he calls it 'Montey Poo' hahah

• he rolls down the window in the backseat with his foot (we had to put him on a side seat so that we could fit 2 carseats in there for when I watch Cam)

• he loves to brush his own teeth. I have found him on his bathroom counter trying to get his toothbrush ready numerous times. good thing I catch him pretty quick, it scares me that he might fall with the tooth brush in his mouth - eeeek! I'm glad he likes to brush his teeth, though. I hope he stays like that! I usually let him start out brushing them by himself, but he only gets the front ones, so I have to go over them all again after he's done.

• he knows how to get water out of the fridge dispenser now. he usually makes it all into the cup, but sometimes spills a little bit, haha

• he has randomly been waking up in the middle of the night & coming into our bed. sometimes it's not until 6 or 7 am, but I have no idea why he does it or what wakes him up.

• he's having trouble going to bed when he's told. the past few days I have had to stand out side of his door & stick him back in his bed every 5-20 seconds for around an hour. not sure why he's doing this, either.

• he is no longer taking a nap in the morning (it was usually around 11am) & is taking one in the afternoon instead.

• he's definitely getting better with talking & saying things more clearly.



this little boy is just growing up way too quick for this mama! he gets better at everything with each passing month! I am such a proud mommy, he amazes me every single day!

21 Months!

Welll, you may have noticed that I didn't do a 20 month update for the B-Man.... that would be because I am a super slow blogger! haha. I had the post started, but since I no longer live in a place with internet access... fell verrryyy far behind. So, since I am just now getting around to posting an update on him, I figured I'll just do 20 + 21 months together. I guess it will just be a mystery which month he did each thing. hahah (: I will definitely try to keep up on his updates better from now on!

Anyways, here we goooooo ;


• he says his name! both bransyn & brans. LOVE it!

• he is starting to put 2 words together now. my favorites are 'appo...............juice' & 'popppart' (apple juice & pop tart)

• his memory is getting really good! i like to go through all of his animals, body parts, ect. with him every day or 2... but sometimes I'll leave something out on accident. so we might go a while without doing 'what does a snake say' or something to that extent. and even if it has been weeks, he still remembers!

• he now insists on sleeping with his build-a-bear dog, Patches, both the little bears he got when he was born, a monkey that his grandparents gave him, and a BIG monkey that the lady I babysit for gave him. that makes for quite a crowded bed.

• whenever we lay him down for bed at night, (and naps when they're at home) he will pat his pillow next to him & say 'mama... down. dada... down' it just breaks my heart that he wants us to sleep in his bed with him, but we can't :( i soooo wish i could sleep next to my sweet boy everynight, but i know that will not be good for any of us in the long run!

• he is getting better with biting, but still does it every once in a while. i started putting mustard in his mouth every time he would bite (I know, RANDOM... but everyone kept telling me to do hot sauce... I'm sorry, but I'm not putting hot sauce in my 1 year old's mouth! ha. so the next best thing was to do something NASTY, so that every time he would bite, he would learn that he would get yucky's in his mouth) that was working REALLY well for a while & he actually stopped completely, but now he's acting up with it again. So we're just gonna keep doin the mustard thing til he stops!

• he can now open doors. yeah, awesome.

• he will repeat his abc's with us.

• he will sometimes repeat 1-10 after me, but only if he feels like it.

• he pretty much knows where all of his body parts are. head, brain, hair, forehead, eye brows, eyelashes, eyes, ears, nose, cheeks, mouth, tongue, teeth, neck, shoulders, tummy, belly button, arms, elbows, hands, fingers, bum, knees, feet & toes!

• he's sleeping in a toddler bed now.

• he would much rather take a shower with me or daddy, than a bath.

• he knows all the names in our family (immediate family, anyways!) and can tell me who's who.

• he loves bikes. all bikes.

• he can ride a scooter.

• he is extremely stubborn & likes to test me. if he gets on the coffee table & i tell him to get off, he'll sit & stare at me like he's sayin 'make me' and not get off until i take him off.

• he's learned some more animals & can identify them as well as tell me what they say.

• he can do baby, milk, mommy & daddy in sign language. we aren't really teaching him SL, mainly because he has a very short attention span & would probably sit for 3 minutes to watch a show, or work with us on it... but he happened to learn those 4 from watching (about 3 minutes!) a video that the little girl I babysit watches.

• he says love you! except he says it like, 'dooove youeeyoueeyouueee' i'm sure that sounds crazy, but it is the cutest, most HILARIOUS thing ever! and I absolutely LOVE that he says it in such a special way that I will always remember (:

• he is still as obsessed with cars/trucks, hats & shoes as ever!

• he still doesn't care for cookies, brownies or cake... but sure loves chocolate candy's! he also loves nutella!

• he can say SO many words! and they're not all easy peasy ones. 2 of his favorites are doctor & dentist! HA... I'm sure that will change in the next few years.

• he LOVES to ride the four wheeler! No, not his little battery powered one he got for his birthday... an actual 4 wheeler (: it's Ryan's parents & pretty much every time we go over there, he points or walks over to the garage saying 'brum brummm... brum brummmm' (that's how he lets us know he wants to ride, ha) he knows how to push the button to shift it, and he can also push the throttle. We have to be careful with that, though... cause just like his daddy, he LOVES to go fast! haha. The first time he pushed the throttle with me, he pushed it allll the way in. Sometimes we'll take rides around the block, but usually someone will just take him up to where their horse used to be.



This little boy is the light of my life! He amazes me every single day with how cute, smart & fun he is. It is so crazy to me that in just 3 months, my once teeny baby will be a big 2 year old boy. It seems like these past 21 months have just flown by in a matter of seconds, but at the same time, I look at his (teensy) baby pictures & I can't even believe that that was once him what seems like FOREVER ago!
Time definitely flies when you're having fun (:

19 Months!

• he says MAMA!!!! FINALLY! (: (he used to say it when he was younger, it was even his first word! But a while ago, he started calling me 'BA' for some ODD reason! but finally he said it! he started out saying 'bama' haha, but now he's got it down perfect & says it allll day long! i LOVE it! (:

• he is still doing really good with pronouncing words & copying words we say. I swear, everyday he gets better & better!

• he says 'peaaase' & gets the sweetest look on his face whenever he wants something. VERY hard to say no to ;) haha.

• he's been going on his potty a lot! & i can tell how proud he gets of himself after he does it! Mama is very proud, too!

• he drinks out of regular cups & water bottles really well now! it's pretty rare that he spills.

• he loves to put on daddy's deodorant. he'll grab it & say 'dadas' than he'll take the lid off, & start putting it on his neck. haha. I'm showing him where it reallly goes, though. but now half the time he smells like Ryan!

• he is absolutely OBSESSED with closing doors. and the doors with handles, instead of the twisty knobs... he can open.

• he is so mean to kids his age, but likes older kids & babies.

• even though he's mean, he can also be the sweeetest little boy on the planet!

• if anyone has ever been to Samurai 21, or any Japanese steakhouse (that does this) at the hibachi grills, you'll know what I'm talking about... But you know how at the end, the cook will do the 'shrip toss' & you try to catch it in your mouth? Well Bransyn has decided that he wants to be just like the cook, so whenever he has a fork, or spatula or anything like that... he'll pretend to throw something off of it into your mouth! haha. SO funny! & don't worry, he only uses his little plastic forks! haha

• his hair grows SO fast! I pretty much have to cut it once a month now! it also sticks up a LOT! haha.

• if you ask him if he wants a baby sister, he will shake his head yes! haha. he used to shake his head no to a baby brother, but now he says yes to that, too! Unfortunately, (for BOTH of us, haha!) he will not be getting either of those for quite some time :(

• he copy's us SO much now!

• he says 'up up up' when he wants someone to hold him, or if he just wants something!

• he absolutely adores all of his grandparents! he would rather be with them, than me & Ryan anyday! haha.

• he loves to throw stuff away in the trash. sometimes after I change his diaper, he will put his hand out for me to give him the diaper, than go throw it away (: he will also throw wrappers & stuff away.

• he HATES to drink water. I usually have to sneak it in with something, like he gets 1/4 juice & 3/4 water. (since he is OBSESSED with fruit juices!)

• he is also obsessed with bryce, haha. that's one of the few names he will say.


A lot of what he's been doing this past month, is the same as the one before... just getting better at it all! It amazes me at how much his pronunciation of things can change in just a few days. Or how he remembers things when we haven't 'talked about/practiced' them in a while! He is still a a big little helper & loves to be outside! But he is still doing new & different things allll the time! (: I'm so proud of my big boy!

18 Months!

Our baby boy is a year and a half!!!

Can you believe it?! Only SIX more months until he is.....




Two.
Oh my gosh.


• he says horse more clearly now. before it used to be 'hoh' but now, it's 'hoyse' And boy, is he obsessed with them! He loves to look at pictures of horses, look out Ryan's back door & see his pa's horse, watch them on the TV and play with toy horses.

• he says 'peace' (: and I LOVE it!

• he says 'cheese' when I pull out my phone or camera to take a picture of him.

• sometimes when I go to take pictures of him, he'll hide his face (like I showed in a previous post)

• he also likes to hide his face when we tell him it's time for bed & he'll run into the corner. Or when we play 'get you'. Or sometimes if you just look at him! haha

• 'get you' is a little thing we play, where we tickle him, then he'll run away & we'll say 'get you! get you!' Well lately he'll switch up the roles & run after us saying 'detchoo'

• he says please if we tell him to. he'll also say thank you sometimes.

• he says 'all right!'

• i think that the reason he doesn't say mama, mom, or mommy is because he's having trouble pronouncing his m's. (or just forgot how to, cause he used to say mama & mom!) The reason I think this, is because everything that he says that starts with an M, he replaces with a B. Ex. mom=ba, moose=boose, macy=bace, moo=boo. the only time he DOES use an M with, is when he goes 'mmmm' (for food, of course! haha)

• he loves to help us with things! the other day I was doing laundry & asked him if he wanted to help. he came running down the hall to help me. as I was sorting through his clothes & mine, I would put his on the floor next to his hamper for him to put in. Every time I would lay a piece of clothing down, I would say pants. Then he would say pants, pick them up & throw them in the hamper. Then I would say shirt, he'd say shirt, pick it up & throw it into the hamper. He would do it with socks & shorts, too. The only thing he wouldn't say, was onesie... because he can't pronounce it! haha.

• he copy's us a lot. whether it's repeating words that we say (good thing we both stopped swearing... for the most part!) or doing what we do. he likes to copy us when we dance in the car, or when I tap my fingers on the desk/counter & he's sitting on my lap, whatever it is... he'll do it!

• he likes to help himself to the pantry. sometimes I find him sitting on the floor eating food that he pulled out of the pantry, sometimes I find him sitting on the floor eating DOG food from the pantry. Taking after his aunty Ashlyn with the dog food... ;) hahahahaha, sorry Ash!

• he thinks it is hilarious to pick up the dog food out of the bowl & have Bandit eat it out of his hands. Or he likes to grab a handful & throw it on the ground for Bandit to get.

• he says 'ban' for Bandit

• he's learned how to open the pantry doors... that would explain him always getting in there.

• he has an obsession with opening & closing doors. he can open my bedroom door (because it's broken & doesn't stay closed unless you lift it up to lock into place -- really confusing!) he can open doors that have the pull down handles. Luckily he hasn't been able to open the twisty knob doors, yet. But he can close any door.

• he likes to say 'ow' whenever I give him food. he pretends it's hot, without even touching it! haha.

• he can put his shoes on himself. sometimes he can only get the right one on, for some reason. but he does get them both on at times. and on the CORRECT feet! (it's just his slip-on ones, since the other ones have to be tied) I'd say that's pretty good for a 1 1/2 year old!

• he's still obsessed with everyone else's shoes, too. And he can put those on the right feet as well!

• he still talks a lot of 'gibberish' but is getting better & better with his words everyday!

• he loves to turn the tv off & on.

• he eats regular cereal for breakfast. not everyday, but that's one of his fav's!

• he sings (: he'll say 'la la la la' or, he will sing along to certain songs:
- Baby by Justin Beiber
He'll sing the 'Oooh' part at the beginning and also the 'baby baby baby' part.

- Don't Stop Believing The cover done by Sam Tsui
He'll sing the 'da da da da' parts

- Say Aah by Trey Songz
He'll sing the 'ahh ahh ahh' parts.

It's super cute! (:

• he absolutely LOVES to play outside! I'm sure he would stay out there alll day long if he could!

• he has FINALLY learned how to go DOWN the stairs. the first half, he'll go down backwards. Then when he turns the corner to go down the second half, he'll try to hold onto the railing & walk down them, but slips onto his but & just scoots down the forward. (the only house we ever go to that has stairs in is the house I babysit at, & that's how their stairs are)

• he loves to rub lotion on his belly & hair. haha. he also loves to put hand sanitizer on his hands. every time he see's the bottle, he'll put his hand out for a squirt. (don't worry, I only give him a teensy bit & make sure it's completely dry before I put him down)

• he is really good at following simple commands & seems to understand really well!

• he always opens & closes his mouth when he shakes his head yes. it is HILARIOUS to watch! (:



Our little man is getting SO big & definitely learning things faster then I can keep up! He's got quite the personality & we just love him!
Seriously can't believe it's been a year & a half since he was born, though!

Time to start the party planning for Birthday #2! I've already got the theme picked out, some ideas for his 2 year pictures & the invitations, some of the decorations & stuff to go along with the theme! I'm trying to figure out a location, and find a photographer. (I was kinda bummed at the pictures we got from his 1st... so if I can find a photographer to come for a reasonable price & we have the extra money... I'll do that! Crossing my fingers it's possible, cause big events like this I like to have GOOD pictures! :)

17 months!

• he definitely knows how to throw a fit! If he doesn't get his way, or something makes him mad... he throws himself on the ground & throws a tantrum. Terrible 2's definitely come BEFORE 2!

• he is a huuuge daddy's boy now! I mean HUGE. I love that he loves his daddy & all... but what happened to my mama's boy?! :(

• he loves to give kisses ALL the time! he's been giving kisses for a long time.. but now he actually likes to! he does the 'smooch' sound, too! I think that's why he likes doing it so much... cause that noise is so fun to make (:

• he likes to sneak over to the pantry when I'm busy doing something and drink out of the dogs water....... like a dog.

• he's usually pretty independent & likes to play with his toys by himself, or with a 'friend' (Camden, Macy or Lilly, usually!) he's not really interested in playing with toys with mommy & daddy anymore!

• he has been going through clingy & whiney 'spurts' lately. one day he will be a fine, happy & play by himself... the next, he will be suuuuper whiney & clingy ALL day long! I wouldn't mind the clingy part... cause I like holding my baby (: but I can definitely do without the constant whining!

• and this whining I'm talking about... is a fake whine. like a 'uhhhhhh..... uhhhhhhhhh..... uhhhhhh..... ' X1000... if that makes sense?! haha. I don't know how to explain it too well (:

• he climbs out of his crib & pack n play.... just like everything else!

• he always sticks his hands in his diapers when he poops (not EVERY TIME, but wayyyy more then I would like! haha) and comes up to us, sticks his hands out to us & just stares. sometimes he'll say 'poop', but most of the time he just stands there. and it's not just if he hasn't been changed for a while (we always change him right when we know he's pooped... & that kid STINKS... so it's pretty quick that he gets changed!) he'll do it RIGHT after he goes! haha. I know, gross... but hey, gotta include everything ;)

• he's not the best nap taker anymore. I've had him on a nap schedule for a long time, one nap at 10 am, the next at 4pm & that has worked GREAT for us! now, sometimes he will lay in there for over an hour. sometimes crying, sometimes just talking to himself. not at any specific nap time, either. I thought for a while that maybe he's ready to go to one nap, so we tried taking out his second nap... but his attitude at night says differently! haha. so for now, we're still trying to do both... if he actually sleeps - great. if not - oh well. haha!

• he's not the most ideal toddler to take to restaurants.

• he says 'pa' for his grandpa Tabet.

• when you ask him what a bear says, he'll say 'raaawrrr'

• he flexes his 'muscles' with daddy & does his 'grrrr' face.

• sometimes when he see's Ryan, he'll say 'dada brummm!' he loves riding in his daddy's truck!

• he's still not saying mama, mom, mommy or anything along those lines! haha, sometimes he'll still call me 'BA' but that's even pretty rare. I dunno what happened to 'mama'... that used to be his favorite word! It was even his first (:

• he does know who mama is though. if someone asks him 'where's mama?' he'll point to me. he's pretty good at knowing who people are (if he's familiar with them)

• he loves to be outside! we try to go on walks when the weather is nice (& not TOO hot!) my mom got them a sandbox & he has been having a blast in that! He loves to draw with chalk & blow bubbles. he even knows how to blow bubbles by himself (:

• he loves to show off, but gets pretty shy at times!


I just love this little man & can't get enough of him! He is hands down the most amazing little boy out there! (:

16 Months!

The B-man is 16 months old!!!

• he can tell me what a dog, kitty cat, duck, cow, snake & monkey all say.

• he can show me where his nose, eyes, mouth, tongue, teeth, ears, hair, hands, fingers, feet, toes, tummy, belly button & 'bo-bo's' (haha, boobies) all are, and also knows where they are on everyone else.

• he is doing really well with simple commands. Ex: if we tell him to put something away, he will as long as he knows where it goes. Or if he's doing something he's not supposed to, we'll tell him no & he'll listen... most of the time. Just things like that, that he can understand.

• he is still biting & hitting a lot, but whenever he does that to someone... I always tell him to tell them sorry & give them loves and he will.
(I still do not know how to get the biting thing to STOP! I've tried everything, I swear... anyone mama's have any suggestions?!)

• he loves to jump. but he can't really get his feet off of the ground yet, but it's SO cute to watch! Sometimes he'll even 'jump' & fall on his little bum, on purpose.

• he loves to spin himself in circles.

• he sleeps really good, most nights. He'll go to bed between 9:30-10 (we had to move his bedtime later, or he wakes up suuuuper early... like 5 am early) & he'll usually sleep until 8:30-9 in his own bed, the entire time! Mama looooves this, especially on work days! (:

• i'm pretty sure his favorite word is 'ow' (short version of ouch) he says it SO much! the time he uses it most, is when i give him food... he likes to think it's hot & says ow and then blows on it, to cool it down (:

• he does really well with hot food. if i put some food on his tray that is still warm or a little hot, i will tell him & he won't touch it for a minute. then before he puts it in his mouth, he will blow on it. (i give him hot food so that he'll learn... not to be a mean/irresponsible mommy ;)

• he now knows how to open the dishwasher & oven. which is bad. if he does it & we see him, we'll tell him to close it & he will. but I'm really worried about him doing it when no one sees & opens the oven while it's hot, or opens the dishwasher & pulls dangerous utensils out. is there such thing as oven/dishwasher child-proofing? locks, or something? help a mama out ;)

• he has QUITE the attitude, now days. he definitely knows when he is not getting his way & throws a huge fit. ahhh, makes for some real fun while in public ;)

Bransyn is 15 Months!

*he is getting SO good with his words! I know I say this every month now, but he really does improve so much every month!

*when I say 'one' he'll say 'two' Which sounds more like tchooo, haha.

*he still has a CRAZY shoe obsession. he has a new way of trying to put shoes on: he'll bend over, put his hands above his head on the floor, plant his had on the floor -- so that he's looking back at his feet -- & try to put the shoe on like that. It is HILARIOUS! he gets SO frustrated when he can't get them on, or if he starts walking & they fall off... which is sad, but still so funny!

*he now sleeps with BOTH of the little bears that he got the day he was born. usually he'll hold at least one all through out the night.

*he is eating SO much better now... well, most of the time.

*he is sleeping a lot better now, as well! Thank God! he is back to waking up between 6:30-7:30. Usually if he wakes up between that hour, I can get him to go back to sleep for half an hour to an hour longer. but if he wakes up anytime after 7:30... he's up for the day. he's still got some days where he will wake up that early & NOT go back to sleep though... which sucks for me. haha, but I guess he's the boss & controls my sleep now, eh?

*I also put him in bed with ME when he wakes up at 6:30-7:30. I looooove me some first morning cuddles! all that really matters to me is that he's sleeping in his crib throughout the night... which he is doing perfectly (:

*he says 'ah ah' which is his monkey noise.

*he says 'woo woo' for his doggy bark.

*he knows that bath comes after dinner. whenever he is done with dinner, he says 'bah? bah?' then when I get him out of his high chair, he goes running down the hall to the bathroom, & tries to climb into the tub... diaper & all!

*he loves the bath more then ever! he could sit in it alll day if i let him. i really can't wait until summer so that he can go swimming in the pools! i know he'll love it even more this year, then he did last! and that'll give me an excuse to go swimming & lay out all summer long ;)

*he now only has EIGHT teeth left to come in. he got his top & bottom right cuspids at the beginning of the month. then about a week ago got the top & bottom left cuspids. his gums where his molars will come in are really swollen, so I'm pretty sure those will be here soon, as well!

*he's still horrible at sharing toys. I don't know how to get him to understand that he needs to be nice & share. he gets so jealous when someone is playing with one of his toys, that he'll go take it away from them & put it down, just so that they can't play with it, either.

*he is a dancin' fool! he loves to shake his little booty!

*he has us constantly laughing! he is so funny & love to make us laugh!

*he loves to steal Ryan's hats from his head, then put them on his own head.

*he is still wearing his 12 month clothes, but some 18 month pajama's. but he still fits in his 9 month jeans. also, still in a size 3 diaper.

*he's never really been big into tv -- except when he was a few months old & it fascinated him -- but lately, he likes watching 'Go! Diego, Go!' in the mornings while he eats his breakfast. he also likes to watch 'The Price Is Right' with me (:


I can't believe that it has already been 2 years since this little guy was conceived!
He is such a joy & I don't know what I would do without him! ♥

14 months!

My sweet little man is a 14 month old!

most of the stuff he is doing now, is pretty much the same as the stuff he was doing when I did his 13 month update... just doing it more/better.

*talking even more.

*he says 'baby' clear as day.

*understanding things better.

*climbs on things even more.

*he repeats a lot of things if we tell him to.

*if we tell him to go get something, he will.

*he knows more of his body parts. he now knows: eyes, nose, mouth, ears, head, feet/toes, head, hair, belly/tummy.

*he's got some more dance moves.

*he is still taking 2 naps a day.

*when he is done eating his food, we will ask him if he's all done & put our arms out to the side while saying it. He has now started doing that when he is done eating (:

*he likes to push us out of our 'banana' chair so that he can sit in it.

*he's not big on sweets, such as cookies, cupcakes, brownies, ect. but he does loooove chocolate milk.

*he now calls me 'ba' instead of 'mama, mommy, mom or ma'

*he has been eating horribly lately. he'll eat breakfast fine, but lunch & dinner.... he'll take a few bites then throw the rest on the floor for the dog. but he will snack throughout the day.

*he has also not been sleeping very well lately. sometimes he'll wake up around 2-4 AM for milk, instead of 6-7 like he was doing. then he wakes up for the day between 6:30-7:30.


This kid is soo much fun & loves to make us laugh!
I just love him more then anything in the world :)

13 months!

Mr. Bransyn Kieler is 13 months!
Oh man, I still can't believe he's getting so big. But he is at such a FUN age right now! It seems like he is doing something new daily. So crazy how fast they learn things!

*he is starting to 'talk' more. even though his words aren't always clear or it doesn't sound right, we still consider him saying the word, because he uses it correctly. example: he is OBSESSED with the vacuum & calls it 'dahtoo'. but, he only says that when he see's the vacuum, or is playing with it. and never uses that word for anything else.

*he still loves dogs. he calls them 'daw' haha. he also loves cats now! he calls them 'at' or makes a hissing sound when someone says cat. (he does that because our cat is not very nice & hisses at the babies when they bug her, so now he's picked up on that! haha)

*him & Ryan's sisters dog play like they're best friends! haha, it really is the cutest thing ever! he will take her little ball/rope toy to her, & they will play 'tug o war' Good thing she's just a little dog ;)

*if you ask him where something is, he will point to it. trees, (outside, inside & even christmas trees!) lights, doors, a person, (if he knows their name) ect. there's a ton more, but those are just a few examples. sometimes i don't even know where he learned some of them! haha.

*he is the silliest boy EVER! he constantly has us laughing at the crazy things he's doing!

*he loves to steal everyones shoes/slippers & walk around in them. he gets super angry when he trips over them, or they fall off. he will SCREAM at them! hahah

*he's getting reallly good at using spoons & forks! he loves using them.

*he's getting the hang of his shape sorters. he mostly plays with the lid on one of them. . . he'll take it off, then try to put it back on correctly. then he gets mad if it doesn't go on right & screams at that as well! haha. but he's figuring out how to get some of the shapes in the correct places.

*he has been refusing to give kisses lately. which mommy doesn't like very much :( he IS starting to give eskimo kisses, though! Ryan's sister taught him how to do them. sooo cute!

*he has a letter b hanging above his crib in his room, & every night before he goes to sleep, i ask him 'where's your b?' & he'll say 'bee?!' then point to it! (; I also have a collage type frame of pictures of me & ryan when i was pregnant, and he will point to it & say 'dada!' so now when i ask him where his b is, i'll also ask him where mama & dada is & he'll point to that as well (:

*he dances! and i love me some baby booty shake, hahah! He usually just moves his upper body from side to side, but will occasionally do the bend at the knee & bounce up & down thing. but he always does one of those when he hears music, & never just randomly. it doesn't matter if we're listening to music, or it's some sort of music on the tv.

*he loves to go into rooms & shut the door behind him, then when he hears me asking him where he is, he will just bust up laughing! he thinks he is so funny ;)

*he can tell me where his belly, ears, nose & mouth is. he can also tell me where all of those are on me, as well. oh, and the 'ball' in my belly button! haha (belly ring)

*he LOVES bananas! i'm pretty sure they are his favorite food of alll time! he calls them 'buh, buh' ! & when I ask him if he wants one, he knows EXACTLY what I am talking about & starts to laugh & get all excited! its so funny.

*he does 'cheers' with his cup. his grandpa taught him that, haha.

*when i get socks out to put on him, he automatically lifts his feet up for me. he does the same for shoes.

*he knows what a remote does & likes to point them at the tv when he gets his hands on them, haha. he even does it with the wii remotes!


this little boy amazes me everyday & i constantly feel soo blessed to have him! i couldn't of asked for a better child!
well, it'd be nice if he would sleep a little longer ;) but I can deal with that, hahah!

12 Month update!

Here's what our little man has been up to this past month!

• He is in LOVE with trucks & cars! (Just like daddy) Whenever he see's one, he says 'brummm!' We also ask him, 'What does daddy's truck say?!' or 'Do you wanna go for a ride in the car/truck?' & he'll say brummm -- although sometimes it sounds like bummmm cause he forgets the R. haha. He does it with his little toy cars, & even to big tractors he see's outside! Even if he hears a loud car, he'll start doing it over & over & overrrrr!

• We tell him to say no & he shakes his head no. We tell him to say yes & he shakes his head yes! It is SO cute.

• He points up to the fan & moves his arms in a circular motion. He even 'sings' along with me when I say 'Round & round & rouuuuunnnnnnd'

•He LOVES taking showers! He thinks it is the coolest thing. He'll just stand there screaming in excitement, look up at where the water's coming out & show off for us! haha. Ryan even tought him how to pull the thing that turns the shower on up, & put it back down to turn it off. He's only done it a few times, but he's learning (:

• He DANCES! Yayyy! He just started doing this recently, but it's just the 'bend the knees bounce' haha, but it is adorable!

• He says : ball, brum, duh=duck, bah'oh or ba ba=bottle, dadaaaaa, mom. Whenever I tell him 'Caca' (you know, like when something's gross? I have NO idea how to spell it haha!) He'll say 'tahhtuh' in a little whisper! (: I know there's a few more, but I can't think of them at the moment! He's not much of a REAL word talker, yet. But he jabbers ALL the time! Ryan swears that he did say 'lets go' the other day though, when he was telling him 'lets go into the living room & see mama!' after his bath. His parents also swear that he said Grandpa. Both of which I haven't heard yet, but hoping he really did ;) He's also tried to say apple, but that comes out like 'pappo' hahah. He points to a banana & says 'BUH!' when he wants one. But that's really about it, for now. I always heard boys are pretty slow on talking, so hopefully that's true & he's not just behind on saying more words! :| eeek, we're working on it!

• He is obsessed with going over to the pantry where the dogs food & water is, and dumping out the whole bowl of water.

• When he's getting into something that he's not supposed to,(dog food, plants, ect.) we'll point & shake our fingers at it & say 'no no no!' So now whenever he is caught getting into something he is not supposed to, he will back up & start shaking his finger at it!

• He also backs up when he has something that he's not supposed to & he see's us looking at him. He thinks that if he puts it behind his back & backs up, we won't know that he has it! hahah It is SO funny!

• He's STILL obsessed with cellphones. He will take ours & put it up to his ear & say his version of hello. Except he holds the phone backwards, haha ;) He also likes to hold the phone up to our ears so that we can talk! OH, and he loves talking to daddy when he calls. (or me if daddy has him & I call)

• His Halloween costume definitely suited him well! He is such a monkey, he climbes on E V E R Y T H I N G ! He tries to climb up the gate that is blocking off the toy room. I've caught him trying to get up onto the table, I've got him ON the table. Before I put his swing away, he would climb into that. He's gotten into his high chair a few times. He can now climb onto the couch all by himself, but he used to move a box next to it so that he could climb on that & then get onto the couch. Smart cookie!

• He loves when me or Ryan tell him 'I'm gonna get you. . .' and he'll run down the hall laughing his head off. Then when he gets to the end, he'll turn around & run towards us with his arms out & give us a big 'ol hug! (:

• He blows kisses & says 'mmmmwahhhh!' or 'bowww' (means blow) He also GIVES kisses! Ah, and boy are they the best kisses ever! Super slobbery, but I could not WAIT until he started giving kisses. So I was super excited when I finally asked him to give mommy kisses & he did! And when he gets started, he just keeps goiiiinnnng! such a sweet boy! (:

• He is now completely off of formula! YAYYY! I stopped giving it to him a few days before his birthday. I wanted to have him switched to whole milk by then, so I started giving it to him in sippy cups about a week after he turned 11 months. But he was not having it. So I said I was only gonna buy 2 more things of formula, 2 weeks before his birthday. Well, I ended up only having to buy one cause I would mix half milk, half formula, then 4 oz milk & 2 oz formula, & then just allll milk & he was fine! Except he still won't part with that dang bottle :/ He is down to only 2 bottles a day, though. 1 when he wakes up at about 6 am & the next right before his 4pm nap. Hopefully within the next few months he will be completely weaned from the bottle, but I don't see it happening any time soon! It's funny, cause for 6 months he completely refused to even take a bottle! But I'm just glad he's off of formula, at least. I'd much rather him have whole milk. Although, it does suck having to pay almost $5 for half a gallon of organic milk a week. I guess it beats the $14 a week for formula, though!

• He's still eating really good -- most of the time. I think he's going through a phase where he will chew up some of his food, then spit it out. It's not everytime, but if he has like 2 different things on his tray, lets say mashed potatoes & shredded chicken since that's what we had the other night. Well if he prefers the tatoes. . . he will eat all of those first, then move onto his chicken. He'll put it in his mouth & realize it's not what he watned, so he'll just spit it back out. asjdkfl;! Little stink bug!

Our boy sure is growing up quick! (:

11 Months! (& then some. . .)

Well, we're down to the last month of Bransyn's first year!
(okay, so I know I'm a few days late -- or a week -- on this post, but every time I sit down to do it, Mr. B wakes up, needs something or, I have to do something else first. But here it is now ;)

I still cannot believe how fast time has gone since he has been born. I seriously have to convince myself all the time that this is not a dream & I'm not gonna wake up to my 2 week old baby anymore. Even though I DO miss him being a newborn, I am SO loving this stage! He is the funnest, cutest, smartest, CRAZIEST little boy I have ever met! & I am beyond proud to be his mommy (:

So this past month, I have realized what a monkey my little man realllly is! He climbs on EVERY thing! We have to block him in the living room at home, so that he won't go into our entry room & eat the fake 'berries' off of one of my moms plant. So we were using those plastic storage tub things, lining 2 of them up from one wall to the other. (haha, tacky I know. . . but baby gates do NOT fit one spot in our house. Unless we were to spend like $300 for a huge one.) Well, he learned to climb over those! Now we have to stack them 2 high. Yeah, even more tacky ;) haha. I also have to block him into the living room at the house I babysit at, and he has figured how to climb over everything that I use there, as well! He climbs into the basket on the back of his stroller whenever it's out. He also climbs on the front part. He'll step on the little foot rest, pull up on the tray & just hang out there! He thinks it is H I L A R I O U S ! This morning he climbed on the table. haha, okay. . . it was a little kid table, but still. He got on the chair, & then up onto the table! He is starting to get up onto the couch. He likes to use his box of diapers as a stool. He knows how to lift the box (a full, unopened box of diapers! he's strong ;) & carry it over to the couch so that he can climb up to the couch! He climbs in & out of the excersaucer. What a stinker. Now do ya know why I was sooo determined to find him a monkey costume?! (:
He is obsessed with balls! He started playing with our big huge exercise ball, jumping on it, rolling it, anything. Then he went out into the garage with my mom one day, & kept pointing to a soccer ball that was out there. So they just had to bring it in! Shortly after that, he learned to say his new favorite word, BALL! Well, it sounds like he is saying 'bahh' but if you listen very carefully, you can her the L at the end. He knows exactly what a ball is, but he likes to call everything else a ball now, as well! haha. One day we were at walmart, & he kept pointing up to the security camera's saying ball, so we went over to the ball section & got him a big blue ball (: That's his favorite one!
He points at EVERYTHING. That's how we know what he wants now, & its actually pretty nice! But every time we take him over to what he wants, we tell him what it is so that he will learn to say it & not just point all the time. I'm scared that he'll get lazy on talking if we don't do that!
He gives kisses! That is my absolute favorite thing, and the best kisses ever (: The first time he did it, he thought it was the funniest thing. So I got about 25 kisses in a row. And I was actually the only one he would kiss for a while! He's given daddy a few, but I don't think anyone else yet. But I'm okay with that, since it seems like everyone's getting sick now!
He's still doing amazing with feeding himself 'real' food! He has 3 meals a day, that he feeds himself. Except he does have yogurt sometimes & I have to feed that to him, since he can't use a spoon yet! He really is loving all of this food! He's also doing SO good with his sippy. He knows that he has to tip it to get anything out. & he knows how to use his straw sippy, as well! He doesn't make me hold it for him anymore, he was refusing to hold it himself before! He's also holding his bottle himself. I know that seems really late for him to hold his own bottle, but since he was breast fed for 10 months, he's only been using a bottle for more then supplements or pumped milk, for a little over a month now!
He says 'OW' ALL the time. & even knows how to use it. If he falls down, or something he'll say ow. Or he'll smack me & say ow (for me! haha)
The other day when we were laying in bed, I had my eyes closed & he kept smackin my face saying 'UP!' haha. He also makes car noises! When he plays with a toy car, or gets on his little sit-on rider thing that grandma bought them, he says 'brum bruuummm!' It is the cutest thing!
He says mamama allll the time, & definitely knows that I'M mama.
I'm trying to teach him which face parts are which. He will point to my nose when I say 'where's mama's nose?!' & I've been working on mouth with him, he's starting to get it more, but gets confused a bit still.

Well that's an update on my little (big!) eleven month old!
Just over 3 weeks until he will be a whole year old!
Sooo bittersweet!

♥

Bransyn is TEN months!

It's hard to believe that in just 2 short months, we will be celebrating Bransyn's first birthday! Ahh, it's still SO crazy to me how fast the first year goes. Ahh, Welll here's whats up with my little ten month old!!! He is now a PRO walker. Seriously, you would think he's been doing it his entire life. I think that I fall & run into things more then he does! He never even crawls anymore. And he is pretty much running, too! haha. He is a little motor mouth! Unfortunately, no new words yet :( He's just talkin in his own little language. That's okay though, it's cute (: He does shake his head 'no' CONSTANTLY though! haha, it's soo funny. But, not so funny when I'm trying to feed him & he starts shakin it! He also points. Grandma started showing him how to point to things in books, now he points to everything! Which is kinda nice, cause he can show us what he wants or where he wants to go. OH, and speaking of Grandma. . . she is most definitely his f a v o r i t e person! Whenever she walks in the door (or if we do, depending on if we're the ones coming home or not) he starts walkin right over to her & pulling the bottom of her skirt, wanting her to pick him up. And he love love LOVES to help her with everything -- vacuuming, cooking, cleaning, ANYTHING! To tell you the truth, I'm a little jealous my baby likes someone more then me ;) He loves to play outside, but isn't a big fan of wearing shoes, so he doesn't get to play on the ground much. hahah. I'm so glad it's starting to cool down now, so that we can start playing outside more! (well, for about 2 months before it starts getting too cold!) Hmm, he still loves bathtime. He even gets to sit in there alll by himself now! (meaning no bath seat, haha) His favorite part now, is the water coming out of the faucet! He loves to stick his hands & head under it. hahah. Then when I turn it off when the tub gets too full, he just sits and stares at it & waits for the water to start coming out again. haha, he's so silly. Uhm, he is pretty much obsessed with his 'Gerber lil' crunchies' They are most definitely his fav!!! He's eating more table foods & doing SO well with them! He knows that he has to chew before he can swallow. &He has yet to choke on anything. (And hoping to keeep it that way!!!) WHAT ELSE. . . He is always SOO happy lately! He loves to laugh at everything! & it is so easy to make him laugh. All I have to do is laugh, & he copy's (: Ahh, my favorite sound!!! Oh, and he's a little MONKEY!!! He climbs on everything! The other day he wanted something on the coffee table (at the house I babysit at) & I kept pushing it to where he couldn't get it by standing next to the table, so he climbed on it!!! We also have to 'block' him into the kitchen by turning all the table chair on their sides & lining them from one wall to the other (ha, sounds weird but, he likes to play in the dog water! ha) And now he has figured out how to climb on them to get over. He is so dang smart, I can't even believe it!!! Welll, I don't have much time so I think I got the best parts of what lil man's been up to this past month!!! (: He's growin & changing SO fast, I can hardly believe it. But I absolutely love that I get to watch as that happens ;)

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 (: )

8 month update... FINALLY! (:

A week late. Ugh, It is horrible not having internet at home.. I'm pretty sure it's time to get it back now (hint hint, MOM!) ha, ANYWAYS.. the reason for this post-

MY BABY IS eight MONTHS OLD NOW!

I'm sorry, but I have to start this off by bragging, cause I'm such a proud mama! I have the most handsome little boy, ever. It is pretty much impossible for me to go somewhere, without at least one person either: A) Stopping me to tell me how dang cute he is, and ask his name & age. B) Staring from a distance, and I over-hear them awe-ing over him. or C) Start up a conversation with him, asking him if he knows how adorable he is. (: I still can't believe this child came from ME. Ahh, okay. Bragging over.. for now ;)
Welll, he may be cute.. but he sure is a handful these days! He is into anything & everything he can get those little hands on. Anything he can fit between his index finger & thumb, goes STRAIGHT to his mouth.. no matter how small it is. Just yesterday, I pulled a piece of carpet (yes. CARPET.) out of his mouth. I don't know how in the world it got pulled out of the floor, but it did, he found it & thought it would be tasty. Ew. I cannot take my eyes off of him when he crawls into the kitchen, because he is determined to get into the dog food & water bowls. He also LOVES to go after the cat when she's sitting on a chair, but she's not so friendly.. so I gotta do my best to keep him away from her. The dog, however, is all for playing with him & licking his face. Again, Ew. I think I wipe dog slobber off of his face at least 5 times a day, & yell at the dog to stop licking him a million times a day. You'd think he'd learn by now to not lick the baby's face! But no. He continues to do it, and Bransyn just laughs. Speaking of laughs, this child is full of them lately. He thinks everything is so funny. I love it. Ryan started making this 'scary' face at him, and he thinks it is sooo hilarious! When Ry first did it to him, I thought it would scare him & his little lip would curl & he'd start crying, but nope. He busted up laughing. Oh, and not just a normal laugh. He has this laugh, it's hard to explain how it sounds, but it is SO funny! I'll have to record him doing it sometime so I can post it. Hmm. He's starting to understand what 'NO' means. If he's starting to get into something, or go somewhere he's not supposed to.. I will tell him no, and he will back off or turn around & go somewhere else. smart boy(: But sometimes, he's not so happy hearing that word. The other day, he was trying to go after a soda can.. I told him no, and his little bottom lip curled up, and he started crying like I had just hurt his feelings. He's a little follower. He follows me alll around the house. He's like my little shadow. And he is crawling SO dang fast now! I swear, he can crawl as fast as I can walk! He's also getting pro at going up stairs. He gets so excited when I let him do it! Still no walking. He will walk like a mad man while holding onto something, but he's still too scared to let go. He will stand on his own sometimes, when he is distracted playing with a toy in his hands or something, but once he realizes he's not holding on, he sits down right away. haha. So he CAN do it, he's just chicken(: That's okay, we're in NOOO rush for him to walk... he's already a little trouble maker, walking would just add to it! haha. He can drink out of a straw now. And he gets soo excited. Still goin after our cups whenever we have one while holding him, or even if he just SEE'S us with one. Loves drinkin out of water bottles. He wants SO badly to be able to eat our food. (probably the ONLY reason I am looking forward to him being a year old, so we can start giving him more 'big people' foods, when we're more comfortable with it) Oh, haha, when he is drinking out of a bottle, he will do this little hand motion.. he puts one hand over the other, & curls his fingers.. then he will start moving one wrist up, so the other goes down.. then the opposite one goes up, & the other goes down! Ha, probably not the best description, but that's the only way I can think to describe it! That's another thing I'll have to get video of, cause it's just too funny to not show off(: He's a little jabber mouth. Always talking. He now has 3 words. Mama, Dada & Baba. Other then that, he just talks his own little baby language. haha. It's still super cute, though. He's still a big ol' mama's boy.. but he's daddy's little buddy now. He loves us, almost as much as we love him(: ahaha. Welll, I can't think of anything else at the moment, besides he is getting SO dang big, it's crazy. Less then 4 months until his first birthday *tears* But it's been such a FUN year. He has brought such joy to our lives. Ahh, I love this little man. I will try reallly hard to get a picture post soon. I wanna get him out to do a little photo shoot soon, but it's just been way too hot. Then when it gets down to like, oh 95. It's dark, haha. Anyways, there's the update for our little man! (:

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! (:

Six months!

So I finally have some time to do Bransyn's 6 month update, sorry it has taken soo long! :/

Welll, he had his 6 month well check last Wednesday. He is now 16 pounds even & 26 1/4 inches long! My big boy(: I told his pedi that I started him on solids about a week after he turned 5 months, cause he wasn't goin for the rice cereal anymore, and when he was sitting up on his own really well.. and she said that was fine! She told me that she recommends starting with green vegetables, then orange, then fruits.. which is exactly what I did! (: And I'm glad I did start earlier.. cause he's goin back up in weight!!! And he is doing aMaZiNg with them! So far he has had peas(he will eat them, but he gags. haha, I don't blame him! They smelll naaasty!) carrots, peaches, bananas, applesauce & sweet potatoes. His favorite is definitely bananas! (: haha. As of yesterday, he is now getting a fruit for lunch, and a vegetable for din din! So far so good. Anyways, his pedi said that his ear infection is completley gone. YAY! She said that he's doing very well. He is on the level of a NINE month old baby! As if he already wasn't growing up too fast.. he has to act 3 months older than he is. :( I already mentioned this in a previous post.. but he pulls himself up to stand while holding onto something & can get into the sitting position by himself, from his back & stomach. He can drink from a sippy cup. He can push things/people away(haha, not so fun when you're trying to give him medicine) He likes to play on the bottom part of excersaucers. HA. Yeah.. he's weird. Andd, he prefers playing with plastic cups, water bottles, spoons, cell phones, remotes & camera's over his toys any day. Why did we get hundreds of dollars worth of toys for him again?! haha. He could probably army crawl faster then I can run. ha, no but seriously.. he is sooo fast! He can go across a room in like ten seconds. Anddd, as of Sunday.. he CAN real crawl! He will start out crawling, does it for a couple seconds, then gets lazy & army crawls the rest of the way. My smart boy(: When he wants something, he goes for it! I really am not gonna be suprised if he's walking within the next few months. Hmm, what else.. He LOVES baby's! He is soo amuzed by the little baby girl I baby sit! He gets soo excited when he see's her. He even pulls himself up to stand next to her bouncer so he can play with her. He loves touching her face & feet. haha. He is such a playful boy. He loves when I play peek-a-boo with him, when he's in the excersaucer. He loves to be 'tossed' in the air. He LOVES swimmming! He's definitely a water baby. He's very curious about everything. When he finds something new, he always touches it & tries to figure out what it is. Anddd, still has to taste everything. hahah. Hmm. I know there's more.. but I can't think of anything else right now :/ Annnnd, he's trying to play with my computer cord now, haha. I think he's done with indipendent play time. I guess it's mommy & Bransyn play time.. yay!(:
I'll try to get some pictures of my handsome 6 month old soooon!
