Update

Just a few pictures and updates!

My roses from Matt for Valentine's Day all opened up and beautiful!

Today we had Brode's 5 month pictures with Sarah Celine. He did well, even with his horrible cold! We got some cute smiles! Here are a few from her website.

Matt got his tattoo yesterday of Brode's footprints and initials on his shoulder blade and it turned out well!


Here is Brode after his bath last night. He hates the part of putting clothes back on, so we just hang out for a while!

Well thats about it going on right now. Not too much going on this weekend just going to see some family, they haven't seen Brode in a while! Have a good week!

Eating!

Ok, I promised Tiff I would update on some things because I havent in a while and that I would get some new videos.

We've gotten into our routine pretty well, but then things get messed up on the weekend when everything changes again! School has been going well, I really like my classes so far, but I still don't know if this is the right major and I need to decide soon. The girls in LaCrosse say I need to pick something they have there so I can come back... we'll see. Brode has been doing well at Day Care! I've gotten a few calls but nothing too serious, all he does is sleep so they don't mind having him! Today was his first "field trip" the New Zoo's Zoomobile was coming and they were all going to the gym to see all the animals that they bring! We'll see how he did when I pick him up today!

We've been doing really well with cereal. He has now mastered the rice and the oatmeal so he is getting some other flavors instead of that darn formula. Here is a little video of Matt feeding him. He makes the same noise every time the spoon gets to his mouth and his hands are always in the way but its been going well. Filling him up a little more helps him to sleep from 8:15 until 6:30 though!

We've haven't been making much progress on things with his doctors in Milwaukee. They were suppose to call last week but didn't then I forgot to call back. I called today and they said they haven't gotten anything yet so we'll see when we can get some of these things figured out.

Brode officially has gotten his toes in his mouth all the time! His pictures are next weekend so there isn't much we can do, hopefully she won't be mad!

The nice weather is really nice, Libby loves it the most out of all of us. We packed Brode up in the stroller a couple times for a walk with Libby around the neighborhood, but he always falls asleep! The fresh air is really nice though..

This week isn't too eventful. I'm going to Wicked with my parents on Wednesday and I'm really really excited everyone said it was really good so we'll see! Brode is going to hang out with Matt that night, and then this weekend he is going to Minneapolis for a Wild game so he'll be gone for Brode's pictures.

Well I think that is all we have to update on, I thought I had a couple more pictures to put on here but I guess not! Have a good week!

Busy!

Well the chaos has started! Monday morning we started our routine off right away. Brode has been waking up at 6 so my mom dresses him and feeds him while I shower and get my things ready, then grandpa takes him to day care and I start my commute to Oshkosh. Classes have been going well, they're going pretty fast so it isn't too bad sitting through them. I haven't gotten too much homework but I'm trying to stay on top of it so I dont end up cramming because I dont have time for that. Day Care is going very well for Brode. He really likes it and the girls there really like him. It is nice that he is right at the Y so I can get a workout in, then run downstairs and pick up the little guy. I am definetaly tired and sore from the workouts but I like being able to get more done and I'll get used to the routine eventually.

Here is a little video. Brode loves the big frog he got some Auntie Sam and giggles unstoppably.

LaCrosse!

This weekend was great, and a perfect relaxer before the chaos begins.

I secretely talked to Tiff and surprised everyone in LaCrosse. They each had their own reaction and they were all quite entertaining. It was great to catch up with the girls and see a lot of people again. It definetaly made me really wish the gap wasn't so big and I think they agree. By the end of the week Brode and I will have 16 houses there because everyone is looking. It was pretty hard to leave this morning because I have no idea when I'm going to get back now with everything going on.

I came home very excited to see the little guy. I hadn't even been away from him for 24 hours so the 72 was a little much! He was just as excited to see me and had his huge smiles as always. He does look three times the size now though. We hung out for a while tonight, he got a bath, we tried some more cereal and he didn't make one peep at bed time. We'll see how long he sleeps though because he gave daddy a very hard time this weekend!

Tomorrow is Brode's first official day in daycare and my first day of school, all on my 20th birthday! We have been visiting daycare for a couple days and are very very happy with it so leaving him won't be hard. Grandpa will be dropping him off to save me some time and gas so they will bond in the mornings. I don't know if im excited for classes or not. I definetaly need something to do, until I have WAY to many and I'm too stressed out! On top of school and daycare tomorrow Brode has another doctors appointment and I plan on talking to her about a lot because nothing is getting solved and Brode is uncomfortable. I'll be so busy I probably will even forget I'm turning 20!

I'll be sure to write again tomorrow about how everything went! Have a great week, and Happy Groundhogs Day tomorrow, lets hope for Spring because this weekend was gorgeous!
