Wow, I never meant to take this long to update but clearly life has been too crazy for me to think about blogging. But with the new baby coming any day now I figured I better hurry and update on Brew and get everything documented before I get no sleep and forget all things about life haha. Brew has changed so much since I last posted and is the funniest/craziest boy. Some of my favorite things he says are:
Everything he talks about is either "huge" or "tiny". He classifies everything this way and also by the color that it is. So every semi, truck, 4-wheeler or anything else he sees is like, "huge, red four wheewer".
When he gets hurt he makes sure to yell at whoever or whatever object hurt him. It's always, "dangit dad" or "dangit huge" (if he doesn't know what hurt him or what its called he just calls it by the huge or tiny or the color of it. One day he was playing downstairs by himself and all of a sudden he comes pounding up the stairs as fast as he can yelling, "dangit downstairs, dangit foosball".
He is still beyond obsessed with all things vehicle. Bulldozers and fourwheelers are definitely at the top of his list. We cant lose any of his toys because he asks specifically for one of the 20 fourwheelers he owns and he will not rest until he gets to play with that toy.
He is so happy to play outside all day, especially if hes doing work like shoveling or raking or something.
Basketball is definitely his favorite sport as of now. He will actually sit and watch it for quite awhile and loves to play it with Dal.
Any game or sport that's on TV he'll say "Go Cougs" multiple times throughout the game, no matter who is playing or what sport it is. We obviously have some brainwashing going on in our house.
He is a pretty dang nice boy, but does have his naughty moments. He LOVES to go to time out, so that doesn't really help when I need to punish him. The only thing that works is what he calls scary mom and its me just getting really onery with him and he will always say, "sorry mama" and give me a hug or "wuvs" and everything is good again.
I am only called mama or moms and nothing else. Dal is dad and Dowwan and its hilarious when he gets ticked at him and yells "dangit Dowwan".
He is super polite and always saying please and thank you. It really ticks me off when its 6 am and he comes in my room and wants to go watch George on the couch with his milk and I say no its still night time, and he says "pwease mama". I always give into it.
He loves to factime his aunties and Mimi and Papa but only if its when he chooses to. I can't make that kid do anything.
Eating is still a struggle. He is either starving and will pound the food, or its a fight all day to get him to eat anything at all. How in the world would that be? His favorite foods are strawberries, green apples, ramen noodles, pizza, red mac, alfredo, and salad. The kid either eats like absolute crap or eats so healthy ha its the weirdest thing.
He always falls asleep with some type of vehicle. Just after I uploaded all of these pictures I went in his room to see if he was asleep and he had a 4 wheeler in each hand. Obsessed is seriously an understatement.
He loves to watch shows, and videos of himself. But only of himself. He sings all the songs from Daniel Tiger and Mickey all day long.
He is still very good at memorizing and loves to learn. He knows all of his alphabet, upper and lowercase letters, and knows what sound most of them say and a word that starts with that letter. He can spell his last name and is super proud of it. He can recognize the words Brewer, Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter if they are written out. He knows all of his colors and shapes and points them out all over town and all over the house. He notices shapes in things I never would have thought of.
He is quite the little liar these days. He blames broken toys or messes on everyone else. Mainly Dallan and Tressa.
Takes 2 baths a day because he has so much fun cleaning his vehicles and playing with his letters in the tub.
He likes to color and paint and recently he decided he really loves to put stickers on paper. We only let him do that at church because that way he wont get sick of it and it will keep him somewhat occupied during sacrament meeting.
Still napping most days for about 2 hours. Today he tried so hard not to nap and I was so pissed because I was so tired. I finally gave up and started doing things around the house and he asked if we could, "go ride, get pop" which I didn't think much of until we got in the car and he fell right asleep. I actually had an awesome time driving around listening to the radio alone haha. Sad the things that are awesome as a mom.
Brew also got his second set of tubes and his adenoids removed in February. I had heard lots of different things about the adenoidectomy and some people said it was rough on their kids and other said it was no big deal. I was hoping that he would react really well to it but man, it was awful. He now has the BIGGEST fear of the doctor and never misses a day of saying, "all done doctor". He is seriously terrified. His sleeping afterwards was awful for 2 straight weeks. No naps and up every hour or two everynight for those 2 weeks. He also wanted me to sleep on his floor most nights which was not easy being 8 months pregnant. So we are VERY glad he is back to normal and we are done with the whole thing. Hopefully the adenoid removal was worth it.
I just asked Dal what he wants to remember about this stage and he said, "that he wants to be outside 24/7 and that he whines a lot when he doesn't get what he wants". Both true.
Hes normally in the front yard in the afternoon when the kids are all coming home from school. He waves at all of them and says "hi kids" and waves like a lunatic. Some say hi back but most don't and it kinda ticks me off. They probably don't say hi back because a 2 year old is calling them kids and they are mostly all in middle school haha.
Christmas cookie dough. He thinks we only make cookie dough in the mixer.
Petrified of Santa
Obsessed with Target, but aren't we all?
Also obsessed with 4 wheelers obviously
The rest of my freaking pictures wont upload, so I'll have to do another post of those when I get a sec. Cross your fingers this baby doesn't come before Friday or I'll never get it done!
