9 Months Old

Can't believe it. My baby is 9 months old. He is so full of personality and life that it amazes me sometimes. Braedon is even mean sometimes. His newest thing is "fake" crying. He throws his head back and makes a face and makes a crying a sound. We can't help but laugh at him when he does this. It is really pathetic though. Braedon is crawling (really crawling like normal children no more army crawling), pulling up on everything, he can pat-a-cake, say bye bye and wave (although its backwards; he is waving to himself), and sometimes it sounds like he says YAY when he is clapping. He is into EVERYTHING and he is super quick. He even took 2 steps to my daddy who we have been calling "ole man". I guess he is just short of walking.
It has been a long few weeks. IT IS HOT for one and I hate hot although it means pool time. Pool time is not what it used to be. It used to mean grabbing a towel, maybe a drink, and some oil and head to the pool or lake and relaxing for the day. NOW its pack up the house, rub baby down in sunscreen, load the car with everything from the house, and head to the pool or lake where you never even get to sit down or relax for even a minute. Its not as much fun as it used to be BUT then again its wonderful having a little one.
Friday, June 19, 2009 Laurel Greer Franks was born in Columbus. She weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and has a head full of dark black hair. She is beautiful. Congratulations to Carrie, Jeff, and Layla...
Saturday Braedon and I went to Baby shower for Morgan and Mary Milton. We got to see lots of old friends and their children. We hate Mackinzie and Macki didn't make it and we hope they are all better soon. We had a blast and Morgan looks GREAT pregnant. I will post pics soon of the babies.
Sunday was Father's Day and unfortunately Johnathan had to work but we did get to see my daddy and Pawpaw Presley. We had a great lunch at Mawmaw's and of course Braedon loves Mawmaw lunches cause he gets to eat EVERYTHING IN SIGHT. I hope all the Father's had a great day Sunday.
Today we went to the dr for follow up check up with Braedon's breathing. We have been to the dr like every week for about 6 weeks due to his wheezing and coughing. Last week it got really bad and I got worried so I ran him up there Thursday. He was put on treatments 4 times a day which was awful and I was told that if he was not better today, we would be hospitalized. WELL PRAISE THE LORD WE GOT WONDERFUL CHECKUP. He said his lungs sounded great. SInce we were there, I asked him if we could go ahead and get his 9 month check up out of the way since I was suppose to have an appt next week but I really didn't want to go back next week. Thank Goodness he said yes. We got a wonderful check up, had a great visit, got a shot (Braedon didn't even whimper), and was told he'd see us at 12 months. Let's hope so; but I am guessing he will see us before hand knowing my luck.
We want to say CONGRATS to our wonderful "extended family", Landon and Savanah Stapleton for making all stars. Can't wait to see them play in the coming weeks. We love ya'll and good luck.
Anyway that is all for now. We are looking forward to a great 4th with Johnathan.

Almost 9 months

Can't believe it; time does fly. Braedon will be 9 months old next week and it seems like it was just yesterday I was still pregnant. He is doing so much now. Crawling like a normal child... no more army man, pulling up on everything, standing alone, walking behind anything that will move, he can wave and attempt to say bye bye, he has da da down pat, and he can pat-a-cake. Matter of fact when he gets in trouble or is told NO he turns around and smiles at you and claps like he is proud of himself or something. His little hand has been even been popped numerous time but he goes on and does it anyway and grins while doing it. He don't understand that concept yet. We still have no teeth but they are right on the surface. Guess they will all come in at the same time. We do have lots of bruises everywhere; he is a rough child or rather I say a true little boy. We have still been going to the lake or the pool a lot. He loves it; its just not as relaxing to me as it used to be. It's more of a workout kinda like church now. Anyway no more major news. I will try to have an update and pictures next week for his 9 month milestone. Hope everyone has a great week!!!!

New Week

Nothing much as been going on in my world so I have not posted much on here. Just work and Braedon which is a job in itself. We have been to the pool or the lake the last few weekends and he loves it. He either eats the sand or drinks the water so it's all good. I am having a hamburger supper at daycare this week so I will busy busy all week long. Johnathan will be home tomorrow and he will be cooking the hamburgers so since we will be at the church maybe we won't kill one another. I also had another ortho appt. I now go next Tuesday to the oral surgeon to discuss cutting out my wisdom teeth, removing two baby teeth and placing buttons on two impacted teeth in the top of my mouth... OH WHAT FUN! Anyway I have no news for now. We are still patiently waiting on Laurel Greer Franks... hopefully soon but for sure by the 23rd of this month. Anyhow got to run to the dreaded grocery store. Have a great week everyone!!!!
