The Great Alaskan Honas: 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.
