So i do this every time i post and always put the pictures i wanted to start with at the bottom..frustrating but oh well at least they are all on here right? We have had one of those months.. it seems like since our Christmas break things have gotten all outta whack again..aka..two year old (i guess he is technically 3 now) having to reajust once again to not being the center of attention, me having to remember how to be a single mommy again, Brigs big # 3 birthday plans that didnt work out, and lots and lots of sickness..i swear we might not even have immune systems:) All the while our baby is forgetting he is our BABY. he is literally just barely four months old and already scoots his way off of everything and pops himself out of his bumbo. its seat straps and full surveillance for that little man! anywho, i have been meaning to update for a while, even though im pretty sure no one even checks our blog anymore. still its good for me to write and share events in my life, i guess you could say (lame as it is) that its one of my "outs" from everyday life. and even though no one talks back to me, for the few minutes i am blogging and thinking of what to write i feel like i am having the tiniest tiny est adult conversation, which in my life is priceless! if that makes any sense?!
Throughout the month it seems like we have had moments where we feel at the end of our ropes and also moments where everything seems to be falling into place and perfectly. welcome to life i suppose:) Seth is narrowing down his options for his specialty and this has been both stressful yet very comforting to know we are almost to the point of knowing where are lives are going to be going. i am beyond ready to start planning.. looking into options as far as city's we might be moving to, housing options, schooling options for brig, I CANNOT BELIEVE WE ARE ALMOST TO THAT POINT IN OUR LIVES! and most importantly where we will hope to set stakes and begin "real" life as a family.
Baby Gravy has had one heck of a month. lets see it started with a cold, then to a stomach bug then to starting to teeth (ALREADY!), and finally to good ol' RSV. luckily he is a big chunk of a baby (95 percentile! ) so he wasnt hospitalized, we were able to bring him home and do treatments here. He is such a happy little boy he just smiles and is a complete trooper.
here is our little buster all ready for bed in his snuggli and the nebulizer
we tried rice cereal for the first time. he was excited at first to see a spoon of something coming his way..then he tasted it:) he is not a fan by any means! im pretty sure he would like to skip to the good stuff were eating and forget all about this baby stuff!
He is such a yummy babe
Brigham and Graysen "just chillerin" as brig says it..thanks to uncle mike for teaching him to use slang:)
For Brigs birthday we had made plans to take him to an indoor swim park here in Omaha. Its such a cute place but expensive for our poor mans budget so we thought a birthday was a perfect time to slurge for him. This didnt end up working out and luckily we hadn't said anything to him about going so i scrambled to find something else that would be super fun for him on his special day. im not usually a huge birthday person and rare to go nuts for them but when its your kids its different. especially this year, with a new baby and brig having a hard time adjusting i felt like he needed to be the center of everything for a day. we ended up going to a husker basketball game, it was really fun. unfortunately not a husker football game or he would have been in heaven. we got him a big hand to wear that said 'corn born" (even though he isnt) it was funny to see such a little man waving and jumping around with it. And of course we had to get cheek tatoos! i thought he would go nuts over them but he didnt, he asked all day to put them on then once i finally did before the game he tried the ENTIRE time to get them back off..oh well i though he looked adorable in them. here is a little taste of how the day went..when asked where he wanted to eat he said "i dont want food, im never gonna eat food!" at the game we asked is this so fun Briggy?.. he responded "no its not fun!" I learned that you can never please a boy tangling with the terrible two's, but at least we had a fun day out as a family and he enjoyed his presents and cake:)
in the car on the way home i was looking through my camera and Brig noticed majority of the pictures were of Gray. i had to explain that that's what happens when you hide and pout when i try to take pictures, i think he could tell i was disappointed he didn't have fun so he decided he wanted to be happy and smile for pictures. he was going crazy saying take a picture of me doing this mom and take a picture of me doing that..such a clown but we sure do love him!
haha poor gray!
it was SSSOOO loud in there! brig sat like this every time the opposing student croud would chant.. it was too funny. He would do this then turn and look at them almost in awe that people could make such noise!
these two are some of my very favorite pictures of both Brig and Gray, cuties!
