4 month pediatrician appointment

Here are the stats:
Height: 28 inches: over 100%
Weight: 19lb 10oz : 99%

Still bummed out the little dude didn't break 20 but happy at the same time..my arm gets tired. The pediatrician said that Bronson is as big as a 9 month old. His head is a little flat in the back but hoepfully that will straighten out when he begins sitting on his own. He had no complaints and thinks Bronson is growing wonderfully. He did get 4 vaccines today so now he is a little grumpy. We initially had this appointment the day we planned to leave Alaska but thought that would be a bad idea.

We are really excited to be going home. There is suppose to be a huge snow storm here tonight 12 inches or so then rain. I hope they have it all clear by the time friday rolls around.

Fun week

It's been a busy week for Bronson. On Wednesday Kris had a team builder at Alyeska Resort in Girdwood. It was Bronson's first time not sleeping in his own home. He did pretty good. He got to take advantage of the pool. I did dunk him, much to his dismay. Little does he know that we have swim lessons planned when we get back from Idaho. As always he got a lot of attention from kris's co-workers and he even literally got his cheeks pinched. Then on Saturday Kris had his annual Xmas party. We started the day at our friend Stone's house with ugly xmas sweaters, got ready, and went downtown. It was fun. We had a babysitter for whole 6 hours. Bronson was awake when we got home at around 10pm. I guess he was making sure we made curfew. We are really excited to be going home soon. We leave on Friday night/saturday morning. My dad will be picking us up. It will be his first time seeing Bronson. Since we will be on the red eye he will also get to babysit while we nap. Lets see if he remembers how to hold a baby.

4 months old

Alrighty, so it's been awhile since I did a blog, but I have a few legitimate excuses....1. Apparently my free blog isn't all that free. It had told me that i had met my limit of uploaded pictures and i would have to purchase more space. I had to do some soul searching to think if i really wanted to do this, since I am very frugal. But I had some feedback that pushed me to purchase the space and so the blog is back! 2. My mother was here for Thanksgiving so our priorities changed.

Well in the last few weeks we have been busy. The most important thing that occurred is my mom was up for Thanksgiving. We had a great time. The last time she saw Bronson when was he was 8 days old. How time flies. They had a great time getting to reacquaint with each other. She spent her time knitting him hats and playing. She even let Kris and I go spend a night in a hotel and she did the overnight duty. Thank goodness Tank was a good baby and slept through the night. Her being here meant that I had a black friday partner. She was a lucky dog and won me a 100 dollar gift card to Army Navy (which is now all gone). It was sad to see her go but not too hard since we know we get to see her in less than 2 weeks.

Bronson also had his first full day of daycare. Everyone said they loved him and he was full of smiles but he really didn't nap. Which meant, when he came home he was a bear!!! Also, Tanks first day of daycare was commemorated by having the largest earthquake I have experienced while living in Anchorage, 5.8.

Bronson is growing and thriving. In fact, he turned 4 months old today. He is being more smiley and giggles more. He hasn't mastered rolling over yet. He has done it once in his bed but that's it. He isn't saying any words yet either; we are working on that.

Upcoming events; tonight we are going to do our first sleep away from home. Kris's work has a hotel at Alyeska for him and family. So we will see how that goes.
Sat: BP xmas party. We have a sitter so we can enjoy some adult time
Dec 14; tans first flight home!!!!! The red eye. We apologize in advance for anyone who might be on that flight.

Bronson woke up to a new face; Grandma Nana
