4 Months!!
Brandon is now 4 months old! I seriously can not even believe it. He's such a little ham now. Constantly cooing, blowing bubbles, and giggling. We had him in for his 4 month well baby visit this morning. So here are his stats!
Height: 25 inches (50%)
Weight: 13lbs 3 oz (25%)
Head: 16 3/4 inches (60%)
He's very healthy and happy so that's awesome! Plus he's eating like a horse. He's been getting us up again in the middle of the night lately. If it keeps up I think we are going to start him on cereal as when he wakes up he's hungry. So the milk might not be cutting it anymore. But we'll see. I'd really like to wait until 6 months to start him on solids.
More pictures will be coming!!!

I'm going back. Back! Back....
Back to school! LOL! Well I am, but not for what you all might think. In fact I'm heading back to my alma mater, good ole Minnetonka High School. Go Skippers! :)
Why may you ask? Well I'll tell you! My chiropractor's friend is the new yearbook advisor at Tonka. She wanted to find a photographer to come in and talk to the kids to help them out with their pictures for the yearbook. Well she thought of me (god love her). When she told me, I looked at her and said "I was the editor in chief my senior year at Minnetonka, plus I was the photo editor." LOL! Fast forward 2 weeks and I get an email from her friend.
So now I am pleased to say that next Friday I will be going back to High School for 2 days. Friday I'll be "teaching" and then sending the kids off to take pictures. Then on Monday I'll come back and we'll see what they shot. I'll give them some tips, and such.
I'm super excited and nervous all rolled into 1. So I'm going to put a presentation together for them as well as some form of a handout.
Wish me luck!

2 months
We had Brandon's 2 month well baby visit this morning. He did pretty good with his shots. It didn't take a long time to soothe him.
Here are his stats and for fun, what his big brother's were at 2 months as well.
Brandon:
Weight: 10lbs 12oz - 99%
Length: 23 inches - 50%
Head: 16 inches - 50%
Noah:
Weight: 12lbs 4oz - 75%
Length: 24.5 inches - 95%
Head: 16 inches - 75%
So he's pretty close to what his brother was at 2 months. He was also a week earlier than Noah too. I would like to know how they do the percentages though. LOL!

Summer Fun!
Yes yes, I know it's been over a month. Things have been a wee bit busy! I am back at work and that has us really busy during the week now. My maternity leave FLEW by! We did have some fun though the last few weeks! Our good friends from Florida came up to visit the last weekend of my leave. We had a BLAST! I've loaded up the pictures in the July album. We'll see them again for Thanksgiving and I can not wait! :)
Brandon is 2 months old today! I really can't believe how fast it has gone by so far. He's a good baby. He only gets us up 1x a night, but last night he slept the whole night. Maybe it's a sign of good things to come? Like Momma getting a FULL nights sleep? :D Oh I'll be super happy about that! LOL! We go to the doctor for his 2 month visit next wednesday. I'll make sure to post his stats. I feel like he's getting huge already... Just like his big brother.
Noah is thriving and loves his baby brother. He's super helpful. His new thing is to throw stuff away for us in the garbage. So that's nice with dirty diapers. LOL! Shawn and I laugh every day in some shape or form at something that Noah does. He is a little comedian. And in my opinion has the cutest belly laugh. We are now also entering the parrot stage. He's started repeating words that you say. But if you ask him to say a word, he'll just stare at you or say "No!". Oh and everything is a car. Doesn't matter if it's a truck, tractor, motorcycle, etc... To Noah it's a car.
As for Shawn & I, we are doing well. Just a wee bit pooped out. But that is to be expected when you are working full time and taking care of 2 little ones. :) Especially a high energy toddler. LOL!
I promise to update more often. Really I do. :)
TTFN!

Who Says
You can't travel with a 3 week old? LOL! Brandon made his first road trip up to the northern wilderness of MN this past weekend for the 4th of July. Despite waking us up every 2-3 hours to eat during the night, he did really well. In fact both boys did well. :) We had a lot of fun hanging out with the fam this weekend. Noah even had his first ride on a wave runner with Shawn. Grandma Kathy was a wee bit nervous about that, but I think we got her to calm down... :D
It was a great weekend, and thanks to Brain & Val for letting us stay with them. We always have a great time! And thanks to Uncle Ron & Aunt Lisa for letting us all hang out with them on the 4th!
Oh and we finally got a family picture of the 4 of us! Noah sat still long enough for it! LOL!
