Bronner Turned 2

So we have officially entered the two year old phase! Everything is mine or no or I dont want it. Yep we have an attitude but it is so stinkin funny it is hard not to laugh! Bronner turned 2 on November 10th, 2010. We celebrated his life at a birthday party on the 6th with family. We had a Thomas cake (which by the way he is obsessed with), lots of good food, and time to visit with family. Mimi came into town for the celebration and stayed and spoiled the boys for a week. They also got to stay with Neese and Poppop for the party. Bronner has developed so much in the last few weeks. He is talking so well and can easily carry on a conversation, counts items up to 15 or so, knows most of his colors, has learned to jump, hits a ball with a bat, and loves his bicycle but we are still learning to use the pedals. Tonight Jerms and I were shocked while watching his beloved Thomas he named all of the trains at the end of to show. He loves his trains and new table that he got for his birthday and will sit and play for an hour or so! It is so nice that he is getting to the age that I don't have to constantly entertain him! He loves tv and we have to limit his time or he would watch it all the time. I think I am more concerned than Jerms and I'm not quite so sure what they do on nights that I'm not home! He loves the "backagains" (backyardagains", "gabba" (yo gabba gabba), and "gogo" (go diego go). He like the "pets" (wonderpets) too but they have fallen down the list. He loves to sing with the "backagains" and tonight while playing in the tub he heard them on in the living room and started singing with them. It is so funny to hear his rendition of the theme song! He is still using the potty occasionally but we haven't been pushing as hard as before because they aren't taking him at school so I figure what's the use. When they are willing to work with him too then we will start back. Probably after the first of the year. Bronner has been really sick over the last few weeks and we have been on, off, and back on antibiotics for pneumonia. Hopefully this round will cure it and when we go back for our appointment on the 16th he will finally be well! Praying so anyways!
Little Sawyer isn't so little any more! He is growing up so incredibly fast. It seems every time I turn around he is doing something new. He is pulling up but not quite cruising yet. He has 4 teeth, 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom. He loves his walker and chasing his brother or Chloe around the house. It is amazing how fast he can get around in that thing! He also loves to do anything his brother is doing, play trains, read books, watch tv, or take a bath. He is so content when you take him outside he will sit for hours on the back deck. He loves to be in the tub or the water and will sit and play with Bronner for 30 mins or so each night. They love splashing each other and having a good time. They are finally starting to really interact with each other but with that comes the brotherly fighting too. I can't wait to watch them grow together over the next few years! Sawyer loves to eat, continues to eat 3 meals a day, a few snacks here and there, and nurse 4x a day. He is a chunky fellow and I love it!
Sorry for the long delay. Hopefully I will be better about posting! We recently have spent time at the pumpkin patch with the Hester's, at Trunk or Treat at church, and Bronner's birthday party. It seems like life is flying bye and I never have a spare second to write! Hopefully that will change soon and it will calm down soon but with the Holidays fast approaching I'm thinking probably not. Surely I will get to post again with pics but since it takes awhile to upload them and then it interferes with Call of Duty I have to wait :)! Yep I get the wife of the week award because I surprised Jerms with the new game!

10/10/10

10/10/10 was a great day at our house. Little Sawyer cut his first two teeth, the middle top and learned to pull up! I have a feeling that he is going to be into everything shortly! Bronner is now 23 months old and singing his ABC's, randomly counts to 14, can id Thomas and Percy any where we go and loves to be outside. I can't believe how fast my little guys are growing up!

Sawyers 9month checkup

So I'm sitting in the publix parking lot waiting on little S to finish a nap so I thought I'd update with our stats from the morning. He's 23 lbs and 2oz. Only 7 oz less than B at a year! He's also 29 inches so definitely leading his big bro in both departments. His check up went great. No concerns and they think he looks great! We got shots but he really did well with them. Only a few secs of crying! He has really started army crawling fast these days and gets anywhere he needs to be. He's jabbing away and loves Bronner. He's one happy little man and is such a joy to raise! I will try to post pics soon!

Long over due for an update!

Well my weekly blogging has gone downhill recently but it is because we have been SO busy! Since I last blogged Bronner has begun talking. I only thought he spoke well before. I mean the words he uses are unbelieveable and he's using complete sentences to the point we can carry on a conversation. It's so awesome to watch him develop. It's like you can see his mind working. He can count to fourteen spontaneously now, knows the sounds of countless animals, prays before meals, sits in a booster seat, is in a big boy bed, poops in the potty, working on potty training, is in love with all things boy except bugs, constantly wants to watch Thomas, and loves being outside. He is growing way to fast. It seems like yesterday we were pregnant. He's now 22 months and fast approaching our 2nd birthday party!!

Sawyer will be 9 months in a few days. Time really is flying bye. He is army crawling and getting around well. We go for our 9 month visit soon and I can't wait to see his stats. He started crawling on labor day, he loves to eat, is still nursing 5-6 times a day, eats 5 jars of baby food a day, loves crawling after Bronner and Chloe, and giggles uncontrollably when tickled. He still has no teeth or hair both of which I love. His toothless grin is priceless! He is a great sleeper and an all around joy. I found him eating dog food today and he thought it was great! He's such a funny little guy!

Alabama has started football again so that consumes our saturdays and we love it! I can't wait for cooler weather, lazy Saturdays at home, and a big pot of chili! Sounds so good. The boys look so cute all dressed for the game. I'll have to post pictures soon.

In our newest news we are an aunt and uncle for the first time as of yesterday 9/15/10 Brody entered the world. At 31.6 weeks and 3 lbs 3 oz and 16 3/4 inches. He so long and skinny!! He's mighty cute too and he opened his eyes for Dyana, Tammy, and I today! Hopefully about a month from now he'll be going home and growing well! I can't wait for Dyana and him to snuggle I know she's ready too!

So that's our month late update! Hopefully I'll get better at this blogging thing soon!

Summer Pics

This week S is finally sitting well enough to enjoy bath time with his brother! I think showers are over for now because the boys LOVE being in the tub together and it is so easy!

Our trip to the beach the weekend after the 4th of July! We enjoyed our time there so much and tried to get a classic photo to remember it by!
This is Bronner's I'm not cooperating with this picture face! It is one of the best ones from our 4th of July party. Their shirts turned out so cute for night before project! Love me some applique now that Katie taught me how it do it!

So that's all for tonight. Just some pics to get myself caught up! I put a blanket over the packnplay so that I could use the computer and it is working great! Not even so much as a wimper from my little man! He is not having a good day so hopefully some sleep will help. I think tooth number 1 might be on it's way even though we don't feel anything. His diapers and tummy say something's just not right! Bronner peed on the potty today too! We have pooped twice but accomplished peeing today! YAY! Now if only I had the motivation to fully potty train him. Hopefully by the time he's two we will have it down! Part of me can't wait for the day just to have one in diapers due to the cost but the other part ... probably the bigger part ... doesn't want to see my baby grow up. He is growing too fast!

A Lazy Weekend

We have had a busy week which means it's time for a lazy weekend! We have laid around all day! Little S isn't feeling so good and is most likely teething but taking him out isn't an option unless ofcourse I want to clean up explosive poop at Target! He is growing so fast!! Now he's sitting well and clapping which is so cute! He loves to steal his brothers juice and laugh when he gets it. The boys are much more interactive these days and just took their first bath together last night which is so fun! B is all over the place and into everything. He still doesn't nap well but we are still sleeping late in the mornings which helps. He learns words everyday and uses the appropriately. He is learning all about fish and sharks this week in shark week with J! We are all looking forward to a visit from Poppy and Mimi this coming week and I'll try to post pics soon!

Attempting mobile blogging!

So I know so many peole that mobile blog I figured I could try it and it would be much easier to keep up with! Thankfully things have slowed down around here some! The boys went to Neese's house last weekend while I work and I took call Saturday night and Katie and I had a sewing date! It was much needed and we got a ton done. I later got called into work so I ended up making money too! Work has been great lately. I got to see a nursing school friend and admit her in spontaneous natural labor which was super fun and she went in to deliver later that morning! Can I just say that spontaneous labor is so fun! Love it! Hopefully if there ever is a next time my body will cooperate! You are supposed to contract after your water breaks!

Bronner is talking so much! Saying some phrases and definitely putting words together! He loves backyardigans especially Pablo the blue bird! We went to bass pro shops today to see the fish but when a catfish swam up with his mouth on the glass in front of B he had had enough! He freaked out and we had to leave! It was pretty cute! He loved the boats and loves to drive anything. He also has a new found love for thomas the train. He has Thomas pjs and asks for them all the time. I'm sure it will only get worse but right now it's pretty cute!

Sawyer is growing up so fast! He is now officially in 9mo clothes! I changed out his closet yesterday with a little helper. We really don't have many pics of B at this age due to mommy laying on the bathroom floor most of the time but they still look just a like to me. Sawyer is sitting really well and will probably be crawling soon. We are going to have to kick him out of our room soon. Just as soon as he gets a crib! I really don't want to but I know it's time for him to go. B was sleeping in his own room at 3.5 mos! I just haven't decided if I'm going to put them together or separate the at first? They will eventually share a room but I just haven't decided. Any suggestions?
