Never does it when I'm recording....

Going from Baby "B" to my Little Man

I can't believe that in one short month my baby is going to be turning one, it makes me want to tear up just saying it- and to rush my emotions even more we are throwing a birthday party 10 days early for him to seperate it from Christmas.  He is changing so fast, his head is finally filling in with hair making him look like a little boy, he's eating normal food, he's walking here and there, his baby toys barely entertain him enough, and we barely call him Baby "B" anymore.  I have tried to make Brayson cuddle more thinking that it will make me feel like he isn't growing up so quickly if I just hold him close, sure enough he wiggles away though. The fact that he is now walking once in a while proves that I need to realize he's not that itty bitty baby anymore. I am excited though to see him rip into his first present on his birthday, smash into his birthday cake, and see all of our friends and family there to help us celebrate even if it makes me a little said that my first year as a mommy has already come and gone so quickly.

about the guy who made me Mrs Drake



My husband is so handy (when he's not being superdad), he seriously has turned our house to a whole different look and I must say it looks good! He has redone our bedroom, baby room, staircase opening, staircase banister, poured a new back patio, landscaping, put up a privacy fence, built a pantry, built a tool shed from scratch, an arbour for a rock garden the list goes on and on. I am so thankful for a guy who works so hard for his family and does a great job at it.

Halloween

Little man looked so cute for Halloween this year, he definately was hit at the costume lineup for his age group. Ord does a little kids parade where the kids all walk around the square around the courthouse to all the local businesses. After hitting up the square we hit up the grandparents that are here in town. Then we headed home to pass out some candy to all of Brayson's little friends that stopped by!

mealtime has turned into quite the conversation time around our house, everytime we are feeding Brayson its like he just wants to start chattin away about everything that he has done that day! It is adorable- he even talks with his hands and points around, this morning he even said apple, I know he really didnt mean to say apple, but I like to think that he says big people words sometimes:) he really is quite the conversationalist.

10 months!

First of all how can my little man be 10 months old  in a few daysalready, that means he turns 1 in just two very short months! Wow what an amazing 10 months it has been!
Here are some of the things he has accomplished
-standing on his own
-going for strolls along the couch
-feeds himself (I didn' say he was clean about it)
-eats everything we eat
-sleeps 9-10 hours at night
-crawls everywhere
-tipping over the dog's water
-loves bathtime
-patty cake
-gives the best slobbery kisses
-he can high five
-wave bye-bye
-Sounds- makes vroom, vroom noises and roars like a lion nonstop
Ah...I was watching our videos from when I was home with him for those first 3 months :) here's one of them

Date Night out in Kearney

Saturday night, Brent and I went to Kearney with some friends of ours for supper at Thunder Head Brewerey and the "Pink in the Rink" Tri-City Storm Hockey game. They dye the ice pink for breast cancer awareness, it was such a fun game. Brent and I had a fun time- especially during the inbetween parts of the game were very entertaining with the fun music and our amusing dancing. I think we will definately be going to another hockey game in the near future!!

I LoVe FALL!

I seriously love fall time, I love having my windows open and smelling the fresh air, the changing colors of the leaves, the crisp mornings, the pumpkins, and fall decorations
(being my kitchen is orange- they match perfectly)! Here is some photos of what I made tonight with a cut up fence post, old paint from my kitchen, and some broken branches.




Fall also makes for the best pictures on my front porch with this cute babe

Brayson

Brayson is almost 10 months old and I can't believe how fast he is growing. At his 9 month checkup last week he weighed in at 21 lbs and 15oz, and 29 inches long. This last month he has sure been on the go we have gone from crawling to speed crawling, and pulling himself up on things to standing on his own! It is so fun I dont know why people make it seem that once they are on the go its going to be so much harder- this little man just seems happier :)
