Brandon

My friend Stephanie had a blog that she posted today. It was all about names and how they found the name for thier little boy. I thought I would do the same thing. When Ben and I found out that we were pregnant, all we could come with was a girl's name. I was for sure that we were having a girl. I'm not sharing it cause we would like to keep it a secret in case we have a girl. When we found out that we were having a boy, we kept coming up with names but the other wouldn't like it. Ben is into the Denver Broncos and on the team is a man named Brandon Stokley. Ben heard his name and really liked it. I didn't like it at first but it grew on me. Next was the middle name. My sister had named her first little boy after my dad so we decided to name Brandon after Ben's dad whose name was Daniel. That is how we named our little boy Brandon Daniel.

9 months

Wow you are 9 months today. I can't believe that in only 3 months you are going to be one. You have been up to so much this month. You are still in size 3 diapers. You wear some 12 month clothes. You are so thin that you wear 6 month shorts but so long that you wear 9 month pants. I bought you some belts that help keep your pants up. You love food and rice milk. This month you have tried blueberries, cherries, potatoes, spaghetti, and cheese. You love it all. The only thing that you don't like right now is peaches. We will try it again when Gramps and SaSa have home grown peaches at their house. You are so close to crawling on your hands and knees although you do army crawl across the floor and your daddy says that is crawling. You have started holding onto things and standing up but haven't quite pulled yourself up yet. You have pulled yourself up on me but it takes you a while. You also hold onto mommys fingers and walk across the floor. You have been watching your baby can read and have learned how to clap, wave and give 5. You love to give kisses and get so excited to see your daddy walk in the room. You still grunt at people to get their attention. You are getting so big. I am so happy to be your mommy!

Update

SO I have been told that I have been a bad blogger by a friend. I would have to agree. I get so excited and love reading all of my friends blogs but have decided that it takes a lot of time to blog. The pictures take forever to load. I have also decided that I am going to get better. I want this as like a journal so I can look back and see what I have done with my life. I want to remember the important and the fun times. Its hard for me to sit down and just write. My goal is to do that now. Set time aside so that I can share my life with people. Thank you to all my followers. Its nice to know you all care about my life!

8 months

You are such a big boy! I am having so much fun with you! You went to the doctors. You weighed 14.6 pounds and measured at 27 in long. You have tried asparagus, baby broth, beans and I am making your oatmeal now. You are going to try cherries, blueberries, and potatoes this month. You love food! You haven't tried anything that you don't like. If it is food you will eat it. You are on a 4 hour schedule still. You nurse at 7, 11, 3 and 7. You eat at 7, 11, 3 and 6. You are rolling like a pro now. When you are on your belly, you can push yourself up to look over your crib. You want to go places but just kick your legs back and forth and can't go anywhere. You love to jump in your jumper. You are at a stage where you don't have to be with mom which is so nice. You love it in daycare while mom works out and everyone loves you. You have fun with your cousins and friends. You have been swimming once and to the zoo twice. You smile and laugh when daddy tickles you. You are getting so big. I can't believe that you will be a year in 4 months. I love being your mommy and it is so fun to play with you and talk.

Easter in pictures

I tried to update my blog the other day and my computer wouldn't let me so my plan is to try it again soon. Sorry I haven't updated as much as I should!

I am realizing that I need to listen to Ben more with Brandon. Most of the time he is right. It would take less time figuring it out and more having fun!
