So I just realized that I skipped 8 months, but nothing has really changed! We had our well visit check up today and big boy is 28 1/2" long & 22 1/2lbs! He is a big one! Dr. Dimmick said everything looks great and to keep up the good work! We also had our terrible 2's talk today. He said he has seen kids start as young as 9 months throwing temper tantrums. Brody definetely gets mad at me but I don't think we have hit that stage yet and when he does it's not gonna be fun. I am a discipliner so my poor son doesn't stand a chance. Dr. Dimmick even mentioned that in our talk. He was my Dr. growing up and if I could I would probably still go see him for random things, but he said well I know how you are so I'm pretty sure your going to do a good job when it comes to this. He also said that I need to start giving him table food. Now I am one paranoid mama and if it was up to me I would probably be feeding him baby food forever, but I guess I will let him gradually try things. He did have rice salad and some kind of potatoe casserole yesterday and did fine but it's still scary to me. Now lets get to the fun stuff that my little man is up to these day!
3-6oz bottles a day and the last one being at 3:30!
Still an army crawler but he gets were he wants to go!
Starting pulling himself up on things yesterday!
Still not a very good napper so we are lucky to get 2/30-45 min naps a day!
Still only eating stage 3 foods 3 times a day cause I'm scared to death of him choking, but he gets cereal for breakfast, a meat and veggie for lunch & a meat and veggie and a fruit for dinner!
He eats a lot and usually trys to throw a fit when we are done.
Loves bath time! I sure hope this means he's gonna love the water as much as we do!
Loves his daddy! If Bert is around it's all about him!
Gives kisses every now and then, sometimes he just turns his head and laughs at you! Stinker!
Gives his mama a hug all the time. Still won't hug his daddy.
Loves our dog Jesse! He likes Sissy too but she's mean to him.
Loves his blankies (he has 4 so I can alternate them out)! He usually never lets it go so he sleeps with it!
And he will take steps while we hold his hands and walk with him!
Brody is just an absolute joy to be around. He is always smiling and happy! Bert always jokes about how his face must hurt from smiling so much! He was a pretty fussy baby so for him to go from fussing a lot to smiling even more is just great!
We had a great long Easter weekend! Even though Brody really isn't old enough to get into it we still had fun watching the cousin play on Sunday! I am a horrible mother and didn't get any pictures. We decided to go to the bay on Friday. We took the boat and brought everything with the thought of we might finally get to take Brody out and see what he thinks. Well when we got there the wind was pretty bad so Bert didn't even want to go fishing and fight the wind so we just stayed at the bay house and made some ribeyes and baked potatoes. We went home that evening with the intentions on trying again Saturday. I can't tell you what we did Saturday but I don't think we left the house but maybe once. Sunday we got up and went to Church, then to visit Bert's mom and dad & then off to the bay again! My son never naps at the bay so I was happy he slept for about 30 mins in the car on the way there. We had a good time with the family. Brody just loves watching Dory's kids, they always make him laugh cause they are so silly! Mosquitos weren't horrible but if you got out in the grass they were and they started to stir up so we left about 5ish. I was so tired I was falling asleep on the way home and Brody passed out before the car even started rolling. So we got home ate, took and bath & were off to bed!
Now for even more exciting news!! Bert and I are having another baby!! I know I'm crazy and it's going to be a handful but I'm pretty sure I can handle it! We found out on February 16th. My sister started to sale advocare products and we wanted to do the 24 day challenge. I didn't need to lose weight I just wanted to feel better and put something healthy in my body. I started that on February 6th. I was the only one that wasn't feeling better I actually was feeling worse and at 1st I thought it was the spark cause of all the extra caffeine. I drink sodas but maybe 1 a day and spark had way more caffeine in it. Anyway the 16th I decided to take a test. The 1st one had a very very faint line so I thought it can't be but I also had a digital one and that one came out with a big fat positive! I pretty much freaked! I was shaking so bad I couldn't even hold anything! We weren't exactly trying to get pregnant like the charting or anything but we definetely weren't taking any precautions. Anyway Bert had no clue that I was even going to test and I did it at work cause I didn't think anything of it I just figured I that I wasn't feeling good for some reason. Instead of calling him I took a pic of the test and text it to him. He called right away and was like "what is that?". We are both super excited and I am a little nervous but it's going to be great having them so close in age!
Wednesday I go in for the worst part of the pregnancy and that is to have my cerclage placed. I am not looking forward to this at all. One major reason is I know I will not be able to pick up my son that day or the next day. My mom is keeping him so I know he will be ok, but I still want him with me. Bert said if he isn't on a job we can go there in the evening and feed him, bathe him & put him down for bed so we will see. I don't really remember everything from last time but I do remember getting up the next moring, and I always have my bed made, so I tried to make it and that was the worst decision I made. I will talk to my Dr. more about it Wednesday morning beofe I go in.
On anther good note we are closing on our house tomorrow morning so hopefully our builders can start with the add on soon cause we sure need it!!!
I don't really have any pictures to post but I will get some soon!
