He Can See!!

So I know I have a ton of catching up to do and I have lots of pictures I want to post it's just a matter of finding some time. School started again and I just got back from my backpacking trip so my time is very limited, but I just had to post these pictures. Bronson can finally see! Here are some pictures of him in his very cute new shades...

He is so excited he can see. He gets very excited to go outside and look at everything. Before everything was just a blur but now he can actually see who I am when I'm across the room instead of just recognizing my voice. I think he is stinker cute and I just love him in glasses. Watch out ladies!!!

A Day With B

Lately Bronson hasn't been taking his usual three naps a day and its exhausting! Here's what we did today to pass the time. Bronson LOVES to lean on the couch and look outside. He could do it all day if his little legs didn't get tired.


He thinks it's hillarious when I got outside and play peek-a-boo. He likes to make this face when he sees me (not to worry...there is supervision inside incase of a tumble)

Here's a picture of him compared to the couch...he could easily not be seen because he's so small. It just cracks me up!

For lunch today I decided to make some mac and cheese and see how Bronson liked it. It was very messy. He refused to let me feed him. He wanted to feed himself but those darn noodles were just to slippery. So he would scream at the noodle until he managed to shovel some in his mouth.

At first he wasn't too sure about the mac and cheese. I think he had a better time squishing in between his fingers than eating it.

He then thought it would be fun to shove all the noodles off his plate and try and hit me. When a noodle did he would just start laughing. He thought it was a great game. Here Bronson is trying to figure out how to get the noodles on the edge of his plate off....(notice the drool)

The after math wasn't quite worth all the trouble. We had noodles everywhere! Wet noodles aren't so easily wiped up. They tend to smear....needless to say, we won't be having mac and cheese anytime soon.

Bronson just got the hang of this sitting up business. He loves to sit up and play with his toys. His new thing is to take stuff in and out of something. Here he is playing with his fish bowl.

Bronson loves the game of peek-a-boo. He thinks it's the funniest thing ever. I honestly played peek-a-boo with him for an hour and it was non-stop laughter.

sorry this was kind of long...

My New Business Venture

For Bronson's 1st birthday Julie wanted to send out little card to everyone who came to visit in the hospital to tell them thanks and to let them know how Bronson is doing. Well, Julie is a busy woman so I designed the cards myself to save her the headache. I still need to add the message that Julie wants but I think they turned out pretty dang cute (if I do say so myself). I'm thinking of starting a business....

Ya I know you all are probably totally jealous that I made this (yes...the whole thing from scratch). If you are interested, I might be willing to make some for you ladies with little chillin'. Ya know I can make invitations, announcements, christmas cards...you name it. I'm pretty crafty when it come to the computer but no so much when it come to crafts you make with your hands....

Let me know what you think. I like to be praised (who doesn't?)

Three's a Crowd

So my wonderful friend Whitney tagged me and I thought i'd give it a whirl. I still can't get my camera to download so this will have to do until then.

List 3 joys, fears, goals, current obsessions/ collections & random facts about ME!

3 Joys:
1. Taking care of my nephews
2. My little Dixie dog
3. My husband...i guess jk

3 Fears:
1. Never being done with school
2. Always being strapped for cash
3. Not being in control of everything...seriously

3 Goals:
1. Get back into shape
2. Get into Pharmacy School
3. Get out of debt

3 Current obsessions/collections:
1. Buying all the gear so I can ride my road bike (you all know how I feel about having the best of everything before I start a new hobbie)
2. Finishing the Charmed series (it used to be on TV and now I'm watching all the DVDs in order to get the whole picture)
3. My nehpew Bronson....obviously! have you seen my blog?

I tag: Whoever doesn't have anything else to blog about....go for it!

Me and My Teddy

In lue of Bronson's 1st birthday I thought I'd update the teddy shot. If you click on the pictures they should open up so you can see them better. Here is a picture of Bronson in the hospital when he and Teddy meet for the first time.

Teddy was same size as Bronson back then

This is the 6 month shot next to the 12 month shot. It's crazy how much he grew in just 6 months.

Bronson has another crib buddy that's named Teddy2 (okay I just made that name up). But here he is with his big teddy 6 months vs. 12 months.

Bronson was all smiles today (as long as I held him) but Brittan got him laughing really hard and this is the shot. I just thought it was so cute I had to post it.

O-N-E

In two weeks my little peanut turns one! (yes I said "my" and to tell you the truth, when Julie's not around I claim him as my own) I can't believe it's been a year since Julie was rushed to the hospital about to die of Preeclampsia and Bronson was brought into this world.

It's been an awesome year. I quit my job to help Julie out and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Bronson's such a sweet little baby and after Brittan (the terror) the man upstairs knew she couldn't handle another baby like him (bless his heart).

Well, he's turning one and we all just can't believe it. It's gone by so fast. I thought I'd just take you all on a trip down memory lane...enjoy

Here's bronson right afte he was born. 1 lb 9 oz

This is bronson getting ready to leave the hospital to come home. (p.s. that's his dad Chad)

Here he is a little older, still on oxygen but not on his monitor. It took him a while to start growing but once he did....he just keeps getting bigger. Julie is going to send out little cards to everyone who visited in the hospital for his 1st birthday to tell them thanks and let them know how he's doing. I took some pictures today for the cards so here they are...

This is the look he usual gives me when I try and get him to smile. I just know he's thinking..."you look like an idiot, so keep trying cuz I'm not going to smile!"

everyone asks me how big Bronson is and he's 13 lb 5 oz (with clothes on) but here's a picture with some perspective. This is me this morning making Brittan some breakfast (I like to pull out all the stop and put some effort into making him a nice breakfast...)

Incompatiblity

So for some reason I can't get my pictures from my camera to upload onto Julie's computer and since I don't have internet at home....you get the idea. I have lots to update on so until I figure this out...I'm sorry
