8 weeks

Brandon is getting so big! He is 8 weeks and one day. He likes to smile but he would rather talk to you. He is over 11 pounds last time I weighed him. He is in 3 month onsies and 3-6 month pants and foot PJ's cause of how long he is. He is getting big but it is so exciting to see him developing and using his hands and eyes more. I can stand him up on my legs and he will hold his weight and push off of my legs. He is really strong and wouldn't be surprised if he walked early like London. It is really cool cause he is really recognizing me and Ben and I loved to see how excited he gets when he sees us. It is so cool to be a mom. He has his first nap down in the morning. He goes down between 9 and 9:30 and sleeps till 12. I'm still working on the afternoon nap. It is hard cause he has gas and it hurts him. Its hard to hear him cry but I'm trying to teach him to go to sleep on his own. It hurts my heart but I know that it will be worth it in the long run.

We went on Brandon's first walk. We went to the fair a week ago and that was so fun. We just went for a couple of hours and walked around, got some cotton candy, and saw the dogs jump into the pool. I had fun but I don't think that Ben did. We are going to the balloon fiesta tomorrow. It will be so much fun. I love seeing all the balloons and it will be Brandon's first year going. I'm going to take lots of pictures!

Ben started his new job with his dad yesterday and he loves it! It was hard for me to see him so stressed but now he is great and comes home happy. It is a lot more laid back and Ben has a lot more freedom!

Well that's about it. I love being home with Brandon and I love seeing him grow and develop!
