What a cutie!

I thought I would share a few recent photos of our little man!

Sickness and Hives!!! So sad

Brenden woke up Friday morning with a few red spots on his neck. He went on to Mrs. Lori's and I went to work, but being a little cautious sionce it was friday we went ahead and made a doctors appointment. Lee picked him up from Mrs. Lori's and by the end of the day, he was covered in hives!!

The doctor said that it was from a virus. He was acting like himself (until the benadryl kicked in and knocked him out) he just looked terrible. It was very sad.

He woke up this morning and most of them are gone but he still has some patches of red on him. Hopefully he will be fully recovered by tomorrow or even by tonight.

Aggie Football

Well....Aggie football disappoints again!!! Last night was the A&M vs Arkansas game in the new cowboys stadium, and of course the aggies did not play good at all. We lost 47 to 19!! We did have a great time in the new stadium. People have described it to us, but you can never really imagine that the stadium or that screen is really THAT BIG! Over the years we have traveled and paid lots of money to watch the aggies play bad football, so we have just learned to have fun no matter what. And we did! Brenden stayed home with my mom and she said that he was a good little boy :) We had a good time but I still missed him. Lee and I also learned a very valuable lesson. No matter how late you stay out, the baby still wakes up at the same time.

The rain forced us to tail gate in the back of my car. It was a pretty day all day...until we got to the stadium.

Poor Danny stepped in a puddle and had to hang dry his socks :(

Farmer Lee

Lee is very happy that his peppers have turned out so great this year. We have more peppers than we know what to do with. He has got lots and lots of salsa to make!

3 MONTHS OLD!

I can not believe it but our little man is 3 months old!! I do miss the little bitty Brenden, but this 14 pound 23 inch big boy is so much fun! He smiles and laughs with you, he is always talking to you, and he is so close to rolling over! Watch the video it is pretty funny. If he could just figure out how to roll over his arm, he will be there. We are still working on sleeping at night, but it is getting better. He is also growing so fast! Some of my favorite 0-3 month outfits he has already out grown...and some he did not even get a chance to wear. Brenden and I are having so much fun during the day, and I am going to be very sad when I have to go back to work, but I am thankful that I was able to spend so long with him. He will be about 16 weeks old when I go back!

Smiles and Giggles

It took Brenden a while to master the art of smiling, but now that he has I just can't get enough!! We have even gotten a few giggles out of him in the last few days!! I miss my little newborn snuggle bug sometimes, but this stage is so much fun. Every day he is learning something new. It is just going to make going back to work that much harder!!!

Trip to Conroe

Brenden and I took our first trip alone to go see my family in Conroe for my nieces 3rd birthday. We had a great time but the drive was hard on me. I realized how much of a pain it is to stop for a bathroom break. Take Brenden out of the car...carry the car sear in....go to the bathroom...hope he does not wake up and scream for the next 20 minutes in the car. Besides the ride the weekend was a fun trip and I really enjoyed seeing my family!!

Date Night

Lee and I have also now had our first night out! It was lots of fun and much appreciated. My friend and her daughter came over to watch Brenden while we went to dinner and to have drinks at the wine bar (man I missed that place) We checked out the new restaurant Sauce in downtown Mckinney and it was awesome! We had a great time and it was fun to talk as husband and wife instead of mom and dad for a little change.

11 Weeks Old Today!!

Brenden is also celebrating his 11 week old birthday today. As a mom I have learned that no two babies are the same. I freak out every time a baby around the same age hits a milestone before him, but then shortly after I stop freaking out, he hits it. It took him a little longer to smile than I wanted but it made it all the more exciting for me when he finally smiled back. The let go and let God is something that I am working on. His last doctors visit revealed a perfectly healthy on target baby :)

7 hours of sleeping bliss!!!

My little buddy slept for a whole 7 hours last night!!! He went to bed at 9:30 and woke up at 4:30! I was so happy and I hope that this is a new thing for him and not just an accident :)
