14 weeks

Hello all. Bronson is now 14 weeks going on 15. We have had a fun but sad week. Our best friends, the VOLFS, who just had their baby Aubrey (who Bronson is betrothed to) left for their new home in Montana. They are very excited about this as they are from Montana but we are very sad to lose our friends. Abbey and I had been through a lot including NP school, husbands who love the cowboys, and now babies. I know we will keep in contact though and always be friends.

As for Bronson. He is learning new things everyday. He really discovered his hands and feet. He will stare at his hands and they always end up in his mouth. We don't use pacifiers, he doesn't like them and prefers his hands. He likes to grab his toes when he is in the position, but his big gut prevents them from  reaching his mouth. He is grabbing things more often too. His little mobile has an object you can pull down on and he has learned to do this with purpose. Being grabby he has also learned to grab mommy's hair! Ponytails for the rest of my life now.

We haven't mastered rolling over but he has mastered going to his side. In fact this is his preferred sleeping position. (just like mommy). When we put him on the ground for tummy time he isn't quite there yet either. His legs have the crawling motion and sometimes he will scoot his face across the blanket but he hasn't figured out he needs to push up with his arms. His head must be too big and tiring.

We also got accepted in to daycare at BP. We start nov 29. We had our intake interview yesterday. The facility is great and i am not worried about Bronsons care but i am worried about my perfectly crafted schedule that we are on, which includes him sleeping through the night. I still plan on working 2 days a week so hopefully it won't be too bad.

My mom comes on Tuesday. We are excited to have family for the Holiday. \We are going to put her to work though and Kris and I are going to have our first overnight.

We had a going away party for the volfs. Here is abbey and liz

13 weeks/ 3 months

Hello all. Time seems to get away from me when I am trying to do this blog. With Halloween last week, football this week, me going back to work, things have been busy. But HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRONSON, you are officially 3 months old today! NOVEMBER 5^th.

So Halloween was fun. WE didn’t do too much but get dressed up on the Sunday before and carve pumpkins with a group of friends that also have children. It was fun though and our superhero family was a hit. Kris was superman, we spray painted his hair black and he was very excited to have a large onsie. I was catwoman and Bronson was Batman. He is so big. We had to cut the neck of his suit so that it wouldn’t choke him. Next year we will have to plan a little more in advance and come up with a more original idea.

This was also the first week I went back to work. It went exceptionally well. I worked Friday and Saturday and Kris watched Bronson. I felt very at ease knowing Bronson was in capable hands and Kris knows my routine. The biggest pain in the rear was pumping at work. Bronson has still only had breastmilk. I have a pretty decent stock pile so I hope that we can delay formula for at least a few more months.

Bronson is learning new things everyday. He has now discovered his toes and grabs them when his big belly isn’t in the way. He still coo’s and giggles a little bit. The next goal is for him to make repetitive sounds like MAMAMAM and DADADADA.

So also, since he is growing, we actually don’t have a lot of 9-12 month onsies and full body outfits…so if you want to get Bronson a present for xmas bigger clothes would be it.

WE are getting excited for the holidays. My mom will be here for Thanksgiving and we are headed home DEC 15^th for 2 weeks.

We played dress up all week
