What's New

We are finally in our house. It's so fun and perfect! Brady did a good job building it. I'll post pictures later when I have it the way I want it. That might be a while though. I'm a little slow.

Brady is really busy with work. It's funny because with hair, it's certain times of the year that I'm busy. That makes sense right? Well that's the same with cabinets. (Which doesn't make sense) This time of the year is always busy. I'm trying my hardest to be supportive but I want to be selfish to. I want him home all the time. I just need to remember that at least he has a job with work.

Baine is growing like crazy. He likes to talk. He likes to spit. He likes to blow bubbles. He is VERY social. If you start to talk to him you had better make sure you have time to keep talking. He doesn't like short conversations. He gets ticked when you walk off. So when I'm trying to get stuff done I just try not to pay attention to him when I put him in his chair or swing because then he'll want me to stay. They other day we were playing and he started to giggle when I was bouncing him. He hasn't done it since. It was fun though. He is almost out of his 3 month clothes. He will be 3 months tomorrow.

As for me, I'm staying busy with hair and trying to get everything organized at home. I'll get some more pictures posted soon. Those are the best part of blogs.

I know I know

I know I post WAY too many pictures but I have to. This is my journal/scrapbook. Plus who doesn't love looking at pictures!?! I thought I had something to write about but my brain left me 12 months ago and hasn't returned so.......

I'll have to get a video of him trying to talk to his mobile. Pretty funny.
He's helping me wash dishes!
I took him to his first soccer game. Jaxon's the all-star. That's no joke. That kid has talent! He is pretty much good at whatever he does. I'm a little jealous. (yeah I know he is only 6)
Bryn was taking pictures. She did pretty good if you ask me.

So humble. You would never of guessed that this picture was taken right after he scored a goal.

2 Month Appointment

Monday we went to the Doctor for Baine's 2 month appointment, I lost my dang papers so I can't remember the exact % of everything but he weighs 13 lbs - 84%, his length 23" - 50%, his head 15" and I don't remember what % that was. Last time his weight and head were both in the 50% and his length was in the 24%. So he's growing good. I was really worried about his weight when they told me he was 13lbs. Dr. Clark assured me that it was just fine and that breast fed babies gain a lot at first but then level out. So I feel better about that.

Baine also got his 4 immunizations. He loved that stuff that they have them drink. He screamed for the shots. When they were over and I was getting him dressed I gave him some Tylenol and he calmed right down. I gave him his binkie (I don't know how you spell binkie) and I have never seen him suck on it so hard. When we walked out we ran into Grandma Audrey and she was asking him how the shots were and he started talking back but he sounded like he wanted to cry. He was telling her ALL about it. It was so funny!

Well this past week has been good. A little crazy but good. Brady leaves me from 5ish to 9ish everyday. It makes for long days for him. They're long for me too, despite what he thinks. I can't wait until we are in our house so we can enjoy our time together again. I try to go there as much as I can. I don't do anything but get in the way. For some reason though Brady likes it and keeps telling me to come "help".

Baine is growing like a weed. I find out tomorrow what percentile he is in everything. Last appointment he was in the 50th in all of them. Exciting! I started trying to get him to nap in his bed. After a lot of crying and me feeling bad, it seems that he's getting the hang of it.

I think he has his mom's neediness because sometimes he just whines until I go talk to him then he gives me great big smiles and starts talking back. It's worth the crying and whining to see him cheesing it.

As for me, I can't wait until I have a sink and a chair again. Something about washing everyones hair in the tub is just getting old. I'm staying busy enough for what I want. It's amazing to me all my clients who are driving out here, especially if they are at the other end of town. That was the one thing I didn't want to give up. Eventually your clients turn into your friends and I was going to miss that.

More Pictures

The house is coming along good. We should be in by the end of the month. It's all up to Brady now. He is pretty much doing the rest of it so we'll see. It's looking good. I'll have to get a picture of the front when all the siding is on. Hopefully it's all on by Monday.

Baine's Blessing

We blessed Baine on September 5th. Grandpa Brooks blessed him. He was a little late because he got the times mixed up. I'm just glad he made it, and made it there safely. He has a lot going on right now since he got a new calling to be a Bishop of a student ward. Baine cried through the prayer. I had kept him up all morning and fed him right before we left so that he would fall asleep and be content during the blessing. Well it didn't work out. That's ok, it was still a good blessing and then he fell asleep right after.

Here are some "not so wonderful pictures" of the dinner after. I tried to get a picture of everyone who came. Let's just say I'm no photographer.
Molly and Aunt Nancy. Molly thinks she's a big girl already and loves to hold Baine. She is really into babies right now. Most kids when their parents are holding a baby they get jealous and want there Mommy or Daddy to give the baby up and hold them instead. Well not Molly, she is jealous and wants the baby.
Ronin and Bryn. This girl is going to be a great babysitter one day!

Jaxon

Nancy, Phil, Kara and Liza

Good ol' Matt.

Again I'm no photographer since Steph and Sonya's eyes are closed. Then there's Grandpa Del and Stacey

Grandma Joycelyn and Brady

Mom and Baine

Greg, Suzette, Jess, Lauren, Glade, Jordan, Lindsey and Grandpa (again)

Here is our 1st family picture (so sweet)

One day when I figure out how to make a picture collage my posts won't be so long.

Lately.......

We have been so busy. I was crazy for not thinking that having a baby wouldn't make me as busy as I am. I love it! Some days I don't get going until around noon. It now takes me 2 hours to get us both ready. By the time I feed, bath, and clothe him, then get me ready. Yup pretty much 2 hours. So I usually try not to plan to go anywhere until around 11 or 12.

This last weekend we went to Vegas for the millionth time this year! Brady had a job there. It was still fun. We left Baine home with Sonya, Steph and Matt. I guess he wasn't the best sleeper for Sonya. He woke up pretty much every hour and a half. He has only done that to me one night. He always sleeps 4 to 5 hours a night before waking up to nurse. He made up for it when he smiled for her. I missed his first smile that wasn't for gas. I was a little bummed when I heard but I know things like that will happen and there is nothing you can do about it unless I don't leave his side ever. Anyways I missed him like crazy and I don't know if I can do that again anytime soon.

I gave Baine his first haircut on his 4 week birthday last Monday. I didn't get a picture because you really couldn't tell what I did. I just cut a few stragglers around his ears and made his mullet less thick. It's still kind of a mullet but not as much hair is there. I did it right after his bath. He was a little fussy so I turned the blow dryer on and aimed it towards him, (he loves that) layed him belly down on my legs and started cutting. He just layed there the whole time.

Our house is being sheet rocked or just got done with the sheet rock. Either way it's coming right along. So crazy. I feel like I'm having a out of body experience with everything going on. I also feel way too young to have a baby and a new house. I'm not very responsible. My Mom and Dad would tell you that. Haha.

Also this past week was our 3rd year anniversary! It doesn't sound like very long but it feels like I've known Brady forever. He bought me some beautiful roses and we went to dinner at Maddox. It was a lot of fun. I love him and everything he does for me. He's one of the hardest workers I know and that is one of my favorite things about him. Even though I complain about him never being home, it's just because I'm a needy wife. Last week at one of his softball games a bunch of the men were gathered around complaining about their wives and that married life was overrated and if they had it to do all over again they wouldn't get married. It ticked me off. I hate when people say things like that. Some of these men I almost expected those comments out of but the others were such family men I was surprised and disappointed. They even asked Brady (in front of me) if he thought that it was hard. He said no that I was easy to be married to and it wasn't work for him. (good answer) Then the "family man" said to wait a few more years and have a few more kids. That might be true but I was still disappointed and a little shocked with a few of the men. I know that there's people that disappoint you, I half expect to be disappointed sometimes. I just don't want to be the one disappointing people. I will always try to keep my home a place that Brady will want to come home to. Some days it might not be very relaxing, but hopefully it's a happy home in the end.

Well here are a few new pictures.....

He loves this bouncer thing. It vibrates and puts him right to sleep.

It's funny how you can kind of throw them around and they will still sleep.
He LOVES his tub. He would soak in that for longer if I would let him. When ever I pull him out he cries. Yeah people might tell me it's because he is cold but I think it's because he didn't want to get out. :)
