Teeth!!!

Ok let me start off from the beginning of last week.  I was a little sick but I just thought it was allergies.   Monday morning we woke up to a pretty snotty nose but a happy baby!  He didn't have any fever and didn't seem like anything was wrong so off to school we went.  When I picked him up that day he was super snotty but still happy.  Tuesday morning we woke up still snotty and had a slight fever (100.6 the highest it got) and a horrible cough so I made an appt right away.  In general he was still pretty happy.  We went in at 10:15 and by then his fever had gone down but that cough was so nasty.  She came in and checked him out and everything looked good and then she heard the cough.  She said that was to bad of a cough for a 4mth old so we had to wait for chest x-rays.  Thank goodness those came back with nothing.  She said he just has a cold and everything should be fine but if his fever goes over 101 I should bring him back.  Wednesday he still had a little fever (99.4) and the cough so I decided to keep him out of school another day.  Mom kept him that morning while I came to work and got some stuff done.  Thursday was the same thing except he had no fever at all so off to school we went.  Well Thursday night was horrible.  He didn't hardly sleep and whined & coughed pretty much the whole night and I just couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.  I maybe got a total of 2 hours of sleep that night.  Then Friday night he slept all night long until 6 the next morning...Great!!   Well then Saturday was another horrible night but not as bad as Thursday.  I just couldn't figure out if his throat was bothering him with that cough or if he was gassy or what.  Sunday morning I was getting ready for Church and Bert got up and was talking to Brody about how bad he has been and I walk over there right when he started smiling with his mouth wide open and tada we have two teeth on the bottom!!  I couldn't believe it...that was the last thing on my mind for our horrible sleepless nights.  Thank goodness your only a first time mom once.  Now we are finally back to sleeping through the night again and I couldn't be happier!!

4 Months!!

Time sure does fly by when your having fun!!!  Brody is now 4 months old and he just keeps getting bigger and more fun!!  We had our 4 month well visit yesterday and I was so not looking forward to that cause of the shots but once again Brody did great!  He is now 16lbs 8 oz (exactly double his birth weight) and 25" long.  Bert and I were both thinking around 17 or 18 lbs so we were pretty close.  He is in the 90% for weight so he is a little above average but he's still not a chunky baby just long and filled out.  Dr. Dimmick had accidentally gone to Wharton so we had to wait for him to come back but we had fun playing in the room while we waited.  He checked Brody out and told me what we should be doing now as far as our sleep routine and eating.  He said he should be sleeping through the night which for the most part he is but the past week or so mommy has given into him a little.  For about a month now he would wake up around 3ish and I would give him his paci and he would whine himself back to sleep.  Well the past week and a half when he wakes up its more like a cry so I usually give in and make him a bottle, but we have got to stop this.  I know he can go without it cause he has for a while so I just need to stick with it.  So last night went pretty well, he did wake up a couple times but he just whined for about 3 minutes, then he woke up hungry right at 6.  I was also told not to go over 32 oz. of formula and we are right at that.  That means we get to start food!!  I don't know why but I have been looking forward to starting foods!!  He wants us to start out on green veggies so we went out yesterday and got green beans and peas.  I'm going to start him with green beans for the first 5 days and then we will try the peas.  They say to start with one thing at a time in case they have an allergic reaction you know what is causing it.  Last night he was pretty fussy since he fights taking a nap during the day so around 6:00 we decided to get the video camera out and get ready to see his reaction.  I don't have a seat for him and he doesn't care for his bumbo so we just put him in his bouncer while I fed him.  I thought we were going to have a complete mess!  Of course he screamed and fought me while I was putting his bib on and everything but once I got those green beans in his mouth he calmed down!  I would just put a little on the tip of the spoon and put it in his mouth.  Most of it was coming out since he wasn't sure what to do with but by about the 3rd or 4th little spoon he couldn't get there and mommy wasn't fast enough.  That little mouth was wide open and wanting more!!  It was so cute!!  So far we really like green beans!!  I didn't want to give him to much since it's new I didn't want him to get a tummy ache.  About an hour later I tried giving him his bedtime bottle and he only ate like 3 oz and was full!!  I guess maybe that could be a reason he slept better last night cause he had a fuller tummy!!  Looks like we need to invest in a high chair soon. 

Let's see if I can list what else Brody is up to these days!  He is eating 6-7oz of formula every 3-4 hours.  I tried doing every 4 hours all the time but he isn't having that.  He loves tummy time and holds his head up way high so he can see you!  He is pulling his little legs up under him and picking up his butt and I really thing he could scoot himself forward if he would learn how to move his left arm!  Bert said he moved this morning but I didn't see it.  He still hasn't rolled over again.  A little over a month ago he rolled belly to back but Dory missed it once and missed it once and saw it once but with no camera.  He is so strong though I just know if he wanted to he could roll over with no problem.  He still doesn't seem that interested in toys.  He laughs out loud and it is the cutest thing I have ever heard!!  He loves to talk, mainly to me or Bert, and usually in the mornings or in the evenings.  I also think we are going to have a little fit thrower.  When he gets mad he stretches out and arches his back and turns bright red and just screams.  I have a feeling one day I will be walking away and leaving him screaming down an aisle in the store like who's kid is that??  He can be happy a smiling and talking one minute and the next he is throwing a fit.  Hmmm.... not sure where he gets that temper from.  I'm sure I missed something that he is doing these days but this is what I can think of.

We started daycare 2 weeks ago and let me tell you I still feel bad when I leave him.  I know that he enjoys it and all but I feel bad leaving him with complete strangers and I just wish I could spend more than 2 whole days with him.  I know every working mom does it but it sucks.  At least when I drop him off he is smiling cause if he would cry I don't think I would be able to leave.  A good friend of mine has a little boy that is about 2 months older and they are in the same class!!  I just know they are going to grow up to be best friedns!!  The other day I went early to get Brody and Mrs. Viola had him and Chaz in the stroller and they were both zonked out!!  It was so cute!!  I guess that is all for now.  I'm sure I forgot to mention something but I will make up for it next blog and I will post pics next time.

3 Months!!!

I can not believe my big baby boy is already 3 months old!!!  He is getting so big so fast and I want it to slow down.  He is absolutely just perfect and I still wish I could be with him all day long everyday!!  He does seem to be a little needy but it's really something I can't control.  When I pick him up after work and we go home I pretty much talk to him and play with him the whole eveing since I don't see him all day and he loves this and obviously wishes we could do it all day long cause he whines when someone is not in his face or holding him. I know I shouldn't do that but I just can't help it.  He does like his activity center so that will keep him occupied for a little while and for the most part he likes tummy time.  There are times he just does not want to be on his tummy or playing and he will let you know.   I have even been neglecting my husband in the evenings until Brody's bedtime (7:30-8:30 depending on how tired he is).  I don't know the last time I actually cooked him a good supper, I usually just throw a link of sausage in to boil.  And since I am still so tired I usually fall asleep on the couch shortly after Brody goes down (and wake up very grouchy to go to my bed) or just go lay down in bed while he is still watching TV.  He still does pretty good at night time with last night being an exception.  He just didn't seem to want to sleep at all last night so neither did mommy, but we don't have those nights that often.  He has gone the whole night 8:00-5:00 a few times but usually he still wakes up around 3-3:30 for a bottle.  Sometimes I can just give him his paci and he goes back to sleep but not always.  We are still having issues with him keeping his head turned to the right side but we are working on that.  I don't always make him turn it cause he does get fussy but I do try to keep it turned more than people (Bert) realize.  He has been sleeping with it turned to the left.  Sometimes we turn it when he's already passed out but a few nights he has fell asleep with it already turned all on his own!  He is still getting 4-5 oz bottles, but when he drinks all 5 oz he acts like he could really go for more so maybe soon we will be moving up to 6 oz.  About 2 weeks ago he was at 14lbs 4oz so I'm pretty sure were over 15.  He has really good head control.  This past weekend on tummy time I noticed him really pushing himself up on his arms and was just amazed at this so Monday I put him down again while Bert and Chris were there to see if he would do it again for someone else to see and he did!!!  He was on his activity center and I was kind of standing back a little and he had his head way up high looking at me pushing himself up with his fore arms.  He was just smiling away (if he could laugh out loud I bet he would of been) and kicking his little feet.  He kept pulling his legs up and pushing out like he wanted to get to me, so he has the concept of crawling down he just needs to work on it some more.  When he would push himself forward a little he didn't know to move his arms and he would face plant but popped back up smiling!!  I have also started pulling him up to a sitting position by his arms and he just thinks that is funny!!  I really think that I am going to have a thumb sucker on my hands, not exactly excited about this because you can take a paci away I just think it would be really hard to break him of this, but he hasn't quiet figured it out yet.  He really sucks on his hand a lot and a couple times I have caught him with his thumb in his mouth.  Now I know he doesn't know what he's doing yet but I just have a feeling.  And he loves his blankie!!  He always has that thing in his face chewing on it.  I really have to be careful with him cause he will cover his whole face up and that scares me a little.  I'm hoping to buy him some new toys in the next couple weeks. I have been researching like crazy for the best thing to buy him right now.  They have a kick and play piano that has really good reviews with babies his age but there is a jumperoo that has great reviews for babies starting around 4 mths and if he has good head control now he might be ready for that around 4 mths so not sure what we are going to do there.  I would hate to buy him a toy that he will only use for a month but I really think he gets bored sometimes with what he has and needs a change of scenery.  I guess I could always use this stuff for the next one!!

This past weekend was really busy for us.  Brody has already been to a JV football game to see his cousin Nick play but we went to our 1st Varsity game and he did really well!  He really likes being in his stroller so since Daddy just stands along the fence at every game we decided to stroll him in there and park!  There was only 2 times he got a little fussy, the first he was hungry and the second he was super tired and couldn't sleep through the loud noise.  He did doze off a couple times but at every good play he would wake up from the screaming.  Saturday we went to Victoria and did a little shopping.  I wanted to find him some wrangler blue jeans (like Daddy's) cause we wanted to go to the rodeo at Breckenridge later.  Well we had no luck but I did buy him a few new clothes since we are in 6 mth clothing already.  When we finally got home I barely had time to change us and get him fed and get there before it started.  We were about 15 minutes late but that has been happening a lot lately.  Again we took him in his stroller.  Poor baby was so tired when we got there and transferred him from his car seat he never woke up but when we got inside the arena it was loud and he was wide awake.  He only started to fuss one time and I got him calmed down pretty quick.  The rodeo's are never really long so I think we were out of there in about 2 hours.  He slept all night that night!!  I'm just really happy that we are both ok with taking Brody to different places and meeting new people all the time.  Sometimes I think he is a little overwhelmed but he does really good around a lot of people!  This weekend I promised him I would go one whole day without putting him in his car seat so we will see how that goes.  He doesn't hate it but you can tell he gets tired of going in and out of it. 

I did forget to mention in my last post that Brody has 2 new little girl cousins!!  Paislyn Brooke Drapela was born on Sept 19, 2011 weighing 6lbs 4 oz!! Congrats Nathan and Jessica!!  Also Rhemy Beth Beard was born on Sept. 17, 2011 weighing 6lbs 4.5oz!!  Congrats Robert and Kelly!!  We can't wait to meet both of these beautiful little girls!!




I will leave y'all with a few pics that Aunt Dory took today for Brody's 3mth Birthday!

Sleeper vs. Swaddle

We have been debating ever since we came home from the hospital what we should do about him at night and we have tried both the sleeper & swaddle.  The day we came home we just put him in a sleeper cause he did not want anything to do with that swaddle and it stayed liked that for the 1st month.  Then I got to thinking I have got to get some sleep.  He was waking up atleast 4 times a night sometimes more.  So at about a month old we tried the swaddle again.  He hated it and fought it so bad but he slept way better.  At 1st I think he got up twice a night and then it went down to once.  Now don't be fooled he wasn't that good all the time.  There has been many of nights that he would get up at 2 or 2:30 and not wanna go back to sleep so that means I don't go back to sleep.  At night we would constantly hear him fighting that swaddle in his sleep and he would squeal and whine but never really wake up or if he did I would give him his paci and he would go back to sleep after about 10 mins. of whining.  A couple of weeks ago we decided we were just going to put him in a sleeper and see how he did.  Well that night Bert got called out on a job and Brody decided to wake up at 12 so since Bert wasn't there to tell me just let him go back to sleep I got up and swaddled him and he slept good and I kept on swaddling him after that night.  Our son has always been a little fit thrower (that's what I call them ) but now it can be really bad.  He starts screaming and stiffens his body out and turns to the side stiff as a board still and turns bright red and almost wants to roll over.  Well he started doing this when I went to swaddle him Tuesday night.  I fought him and got him in the swaddle but felt bad about it but he went to sleep after about 15 mins of fighting.  I had to go keep checking on him since he does his stiff body turn thing in the swaddle and I was scared he was going to roll over.  He still only got up that once at about 2:30 for his bottle.  Wednesday we talked about and decided to just try a sleeper again since I heard a horror story about a baby rolling over in there swaddle.  Well he did great!!!   We could still hear him move at night but he had nothing to fight so we never heard any whining and he had his arms free since he likes his hands in his mouth and I feel like he was just a happy baby!!  He didn't wake up for a bottle until 3:30 and then went right back to sleep after!!  Last night was good also!  He woke up about 3:50 for a bottle and I gave him his paci and went to the kitchen to make it came back and he was out and slept until 5!!  I really feel like we are super close to having a good night's sleep all night long!!  Watch now that I am talking about it it's probably going to reverse again and be up all night.  I am happy that my baby seems happier and he is happy cause he is free to move!! 

On another note we went to visit the Dr. yesterday.  Brody's right ear seems to have a lot of wax and between Dory & I it got cleaned all the time.  Well Wednesday night while I was burping him I smelled his ear and it was horrible.  So the next day Dory was looking at it and she said the hole looked smaller maybe he had an ear infection.  There were a couple other things I was wanting to ask Dr. Dimmick about also so I made an appt.  He said his ear was fine and I asked about weezy sound he has when he's breating heavy but he said his lungs were fine to.  So we made a trip to Wharton for nothing but at least I know my baby is ok.  He also got weighed while we were there and in 2 weeks he gained another lb. he is now 14lbs 4 oz!!  Everytime Dr. Dimmick walks in the room he says big Brody!!  He is a big boy but so super cute!! 

I almost forgot about my 1st whole weekend away from our little man.  September 18th was our 1 year anniversary!!  Yes 1 year and we already have a baby!!  We planned to go to San Antonio and leave Brody behind with my mom.  I wasn't sure how this was going to work but it ended up ok.  Friday morning we dropped him off with Dory and I said goodbye and had to get out of there before I started crying like a little baby.  I called to check on him throughout the day but I would say I did pretty good and didn't bother them too much.  Bert and I had a really good time! I finally drank my whole 1st beer!!  I have taken a sip or 2 out of Bert's before and I drank half of one but that was it.  I must say that it tasted great!!!  I was kind of worried that I wouldn't like the taste as much or I wouldn't be able to handle as many but that was not the case at all!!  By the time Sunday rolled around we were ready to get back home...it was kind of hard since we did have a few to many Saturday night but we made it!!  Here are a few pics I have!!

My little hunter!!  His camo shorts are just so cute!!


Happy to be at the bay!!

2 Months!!!

Ok I can not believe my baby is already 2 months old but I guess when they say they grow to fast it's the truth.  I will start off with our appt yesterday and then go on to things my sweet baby is doing.  So yesterday was our appt for his 2 month check up and SHOTS!!  I was a little nervous on how things were going to go with that so I asked Bert to come with us and plus I like him to be there when Dr. Dimmick is going over things and answering our questions so he can be there to hear him and not think I'm crazy later when I tell him.  My big boy is growing so fast he now weighs 13lbs 4oz and is 23 3/4" long (almost 2').  I was worried that they were going to tell us that he was too big and we needed to cut him back some (cause that's usually what they do) but he is perfectly healthy.  Dr. Dimmick came in and checked him out and talked to us and answered all our questions we had and everything looked good.  One question I had was about him being fussy.  Bert thinks I'm nuts cause he says it's all cause he is spoiled but I think he's wrong cause he will start to cry even when he is being held.  He said it was all a baby thing and he should start calming down more between 2-4months.  Then the nurse came back with the shots.  I finally layed him down and then Bert went and stood over there with him.  She gave him the liquid stuff which wasn't bad then came the first shot in his little leg.  He started to wimper a little bit then she stuck him in the other leg TWICE.  His face turned bright red and his mouth was wide open like he was trying to scream but couldn't.  Then he let out a little cry and stopped!!  He was perfectly fine and took them shots like a champ!!!  I'm so proud of my big boy.  She told us to bathe him tonight and let him kick around in the water for a little bit.  I always hear stories of babies getting a fever and being fussy so I was a little worried about that.  Right before I put him to bed I checked and no fever.  He as a little fussy but nothing our the ordinary.  All that activity must have wore him out cause I layed him down at 8:30 he fussed for a few minutes and went to sleep and didn't wake up for a feeding until almost 3:30!!  Usually we wake up at 2:00.  I'm hoping tonight goes the same and hopefully we are close to sleeping through the whole night.

Brody at 2 months:
Goes to bed at 8-8:30
He has 4-5oz of formula every 3-4 hours
sleeps until about 2:00 am then goes right back to sleep after his bottle til usually 7:00 am
has rolled over a couple times from tummy to back.
smiles like crazy (when he's in a good mood)
started talking to us (and this is adorable)
still hates being swaddled but sleeps so much longer



Bert left to go on a hunting trip on 8/23/11 and didn't come back home until 9/3/11.  Me and Brody had a lot of time together while he was gone.  He was already smiling before Bert left but not as much as he does now so Daddy had some fun stuff to come home too.  Of course I was sending him picutes daily but being in the mountains he only got them when he would come down to call.  This past weekend is when Brody started making his little noises and seeming to enjoy life a little more.  Saturday I had him under his activity center and now that he can see better he constantly watches his little music box thing that lights up and seems to really like it.  He kicks to the music and gets faster when the music does or slows down...it is so cute!!  Well he let out this screech the other day and was smiling and was just loving it.  I got that on video.  When we talk to him he is always smiling and every now and then he will say something back.  The other day he was really on a roll and told me all about his day at Aunt Dory's!!  Day's like that is when I really don't wanna leave him during the day.  I would just like to stay home with him and talk all day long (i know that wouldn't happen but i would still like more time with him).  He had always seemed like a pretty fussy baby too me, he still is but not as bad, and it makes me happy that he is finally starting to enjoy things.  I started reading to him last night, I'm going to start doing this before bedtime, and he just looked at me like I was crazy but loved the fact I was paying attention to him!!  Hopefully this evening we will put him in his stroller and go for a walk.  He really likes being in that thing.  He still loves to be outside no matter how hot it is so maybe this weekend we will go down to the bay.  I will leave you with some pics and maybe next week I will have some pictures from the bay!  


p.s. Amy we loved the outfits!!!

6 Weeks!!

I really don't have much to talk about but I will do a quick post to let everyone know what my little man is up to!!  Notice I said little man cause he is getting so big he just doesn't even seem like a baby to me anymore :(  Dr. Dimmick didn't make us come back for a 1month check up so that means we haven't been weighed again and I have been curious how much he has gained cause you can definetely tell he's put on some weight.  So the other day at mom's I weighed myself (which by the way I was very happy with being I had just had a baby 5 1/2 weeks ago at the time) and then I weighed holding him and well it showed he weighed 12lbs!!!  That is one big boy!!  I really think that he just ran out of room in me cause he has been growing like crazy.  He is still eating 4-5oz of formula every 3 hours.  I make him 5 everytime and sometimes he eats and sometimes he doesn't.  For some reason the past week he has been fighting me a little finishing a bottle.  He will shake his head and stretch his body out just trying to get the bottle out of his mouth and then he seals his lips shut and I will wait a minute or two and he will act like he is starving again and take it.  He is still a little bit of a cryer but he is getting over that some.  Still not sleeping 100% through the night but he usually only wakes up twice for a bottle and I feed him and swaddle him and he is back to sleep so it's not to bad.  And know to the best part of it all....he started smiling!!!  He gave me his first gummy smile last Wednesday and I was just the happiest mommy ever.  Right after that I called Bert in and he started talking to him and there was that smile again!!  He usually will only give us a smile in the mornings and every know and then in the evenings.  This morning while Daddy was feeding him and came in and started talking to him and bottle in his mouth and all he just started smiling and couldn't stop!!  He is so sweet!!!

Know to the worst part of my week!!  I started work Monday :(  The beginning of last week I had come in to do payroll and stuff and my boss had asked when I planned on coming back cause my higher up boss was asking.  I originally was going to try and stay with my baby until 8 weeks which would have been the beginning of September but after he had said that I figured I should come back.  So August the 8th I called Dory and told her she would be starting her job sooner since she will be keeping Brody for us.  Well that didn't work out as planned.  August the 6th we had Coopers 1st B-Day party and all it was was just family.  Well Dory got a call the following Monday from Brent's sister and her youngest daughter had hand, foot, & mouth disease and for Dory to keep an eye on the kids since we were all just there Saturday.  As of Tuesday everyone was ok and mom and Dory were planning on taking the kids to Splashway and I was gonna keep Cooper and Brody (they wanted to go before I went back to work).  Wednesday morning Dory called to say hold off on coming to town Cooper's not feeling good.  By Wednesday afternoon she was taking both of her boys to the Dr. and sure enough all 3 of her kids had it.  We were at the party to so I was worried about my baby getting it.  She told the Dr. we were there he said Brody should still have some of my immunities in him and should be fine but to keep an eye on him and bring him in if I notice anything and he also said that she could not keep him that this stuff needed to run it's course since there's not treatment for it.  Thank goodness my baby didn't get it but I still needed to figure out what I was gonna do with him.  Mom and Dad had finally gotten to go to the bay and weren't coming home until Monday evening and then mom had a Dr.'s appt Tuesday morning.  So since my bosses were ok with Brody coming to work that's what we did.  I guess my son doesn't like the work environment cause he was not a very happy baby Monday and I pushed it and made it at work until about 2.  Tuesday he was coming back with me until mom got out of her appt.  well that lasted longer than we thought so I had him until about 11:15 which wasn't bad but he still wasn't too happy.  Then Wednesday came...my 1st whole day without him and I hated it.  Even though I took a longer lunch and spent it with him I barely made it to 3:45 before I left to pick him up.  I don't know how today is going to go but hopefully better than yesterday.

1 Month Old!!!

Ok I am going to go ahead and post a 1 month blog while I have time and feel like doing it!!  Our little Brody is growing like crazy and changing everyday.  When I feed him I put my boppy around me and lay him across it, well it doesn't look like I will be doing that for long since he barely fits on there anymore.  We won't be going to the Dr. for a 1 month checkup so I won't know how much he weighs until 2 months unless I figure out a way to weigh him at home.  At our 2 week appt. when we left they told me to make a 2 month appt and I didn't think about it and made it and left, but then I thought he needed to go back at 1 month so I called and they said he was doing well and the Dr. didn't need to see him until his 2 month shots. 

So let me talk about what all is going on with him right now.  He is eating 4 oz. every 3 hours and he loves to eat and normally does not miss a feeding.  Every now and then he is super tired and won't finish a bottle but it doesn't happen often.   He is doing pretty good with his schedule.  Usually he will stay up between his 7:30 feeding and 10:30 p.m. feeding which is fine with me I can feed him at 10:30 and we both go to sleep pretty good.  He does usually have his time at night that he stays up between feedings and lays in bed and cries and I try to sleep through it but that is pretty hard.  I was kind of worried about him crying because I feel like that is all he does when he is awake Bert just thinks that I have him spoiled and he wants to be held and I do think that is some of it but not all.  Dory had told me she remembered with Cooper she had the same problem so I went back on her blog and sure enough Cooper was a crier which is weird cause now he is such a happy baby and I don't think I have ever heard a real cry out of him.  Dr. Dimmick had told her it was normal and should go away by 8 weeks so we have 4 more weeks to go.  When we first got home from the hospital we tried swaddling but he would through a fit until he could get his arms free and then he was happy so we just stopped swaddling.  Last night was the first night I have tried it since and he did ok, still woke up every 3 hours and still had his time in the middle of the night he was up between feedings but he also is a very warm baby and he sweats like crazy in that thing.  We keep it at 74 in the house which we think is a good temp, I guess he's just gonna be a hot one.  I think he is holding his head up pretty good already and he throws that thing around like crazy.  We also think that he is getting close to rolling over.  He gets so close to it all the time and usually when I first put him down to sleep and I randomly go check on him he is laying on his side.  I know that sounds crazy but one day he will do it accidentally.

Brody had his first modeling gig the past Monday.  A photographer out of Wharton had done pics with Dory and the kids a few months back and she did a wonderful job.  Since then I have been following her on facebook.  The other day she posted that she needed a model between newborn-4 weeks so I hurried up and messaged her since she seems to book up pretty quick and we got it!!!  She had got some new things she wanted to try out with a baby boy so the session would be free and I could get 5 digital images for free.  Well since my baby seems to be a bit of a crier I figured it wasn't going to go to good and we wouldn't be there long but he did excellent and we were there for 1 1/2 hours!!!  Of course she has all the pics ready and they are all so good so we do have the option to purchase one of her packages which we are going to do!!!  I still can't believe how well he did!!  I guess that's all for now and I will leave y'all with some pics from our photo shoot!
