5 Months!!!

Brewer boy is growing so dang fast, it's crazy! He's five months old today and everyone that sees him thinks hes like 9 months old. He's quite the chunker, but it's pretty spread out since he so tall.  

Right now he is:

Wearing 9-12 month clothes and 12 month pajamas

Wearing size 3 diapers

Sleeps from 8:30-5:30, then eats and goes back to sleep til around 7

Has gotten over a double ear infection which sucked

Eats 6oz every 3 hours

Is starting to laugh really good and it is the cutest thing

Loves to FaceTime, mostly because he can see himself in the camera

Hates rice cereal, but does okay with vegetables

Can roll from front to back, and back to front but won't do it very often

Loves to lay on his back on the floor, still working on trying to get him to like sitting up

Probably around 17 pounds now

Sleeps for 1 hour every 2 hours

Still has kind of a flat head on he back, so we're working on that

Loves to be outside in the stroller and see what's going on

Picture overload:

Mimi, Bryir and Brew last time we were in Blanding

We didn't have a baby bath in Blanding so we had to improvise and put him in a bowl haha

How I found them one night while they were waiting for me to get ready 

Rice cereal...none made it into his mouth haha

How i found him after a nap one day

Always so happy after a good nap

Best buds

Crashed out in St George

Me and Sag at Dallan and Nate's softball tourney

Loves tummy time on my lap

His 5 month pic, clearly wouldn't stop wiggling!

Brew has been so much fun, he is such a good, chill boy and makes my days so fun (for the most part) haha. Dallan is busy applying and interviewing for jobs, and as of now it looks like we'll either stay up in the valley, go to Springville or Salt Lake area. He's waiting to hear back from a few companies so we'll see where we move after graduation in a month! This weekend we are going to Salt Lake for another interview, so Sagan and Nate are gonna come stay in a hotel with us and take Brewer swimming for the first time, and them go to a BYU football BBQ with my parents, should be a fun weekend!

4 Months Old

I feel like this last month Brewer has changed so much and gotten so old. Dal says he's getting to the "fun" stage but I think he's always been fun! He's crashed out right now from his shots, he did so good but it's always so dang sad.  Luckily Dal could come this time so I didn't have to watch. 

This month he:

Sleeps without being swaddled and now sleeps in his crib! I just lay him down, give him his binkie and he usually goes right down.

Has found his toes and his crotch region ha.

Loves going on stroller rides when it's warm

Sleeps from 9-5 ish, then eats and goes back down til 7 or 7:30 ish. Naps every hour and a half all day long.

Loves to sit up like a big kid and check out what's going on in the house.

Always has his ball, hr usually holds it while he sleeps.

Figured out how to take his bink out but can't put it back in.

Wears mostly 6 month clothes and 6-9 month pjs.

Wears size 2 diapers.

Loves to FaceTime people, he gets so amused.

Still likes tummy time and will roll over without really knowing he's doing it.

Loves bath time and getting his ears cleaned out ha,weird I know.

Hates if I leave him to go into another room. Has an absolute meltdown, so we're pretty much attached at the hip.

Is getting quote long for his car seat.

At his appointment he was 15.12 lbs (75%), 26.5 inches (90%).

3 months!

From 2 months to 3 months Brewer changed SO much. He is now only formula fed and it has helped him a ton. He's now a little chunker and I love it!  We blessed him yesterday at our apartment and our families could not believe how big he'd gotten.  

A few things this month:

Still loves his bath, getting his clothes changed and getting his diaper changed. He still won't sit in a wet/dirty diaper for 2 seconds.

Likes tummy time ok but doesn't love it unless I'm down by him talking to him where he can see me. 

Can roll from his front to back but won't do it when he's crying crazy boy. 

A lot of times I'll hold him and think he's asleep, and I'll look down and he'll peek out of one eye and if I'm looking at him he gives me a big ol cheese.

Super smiley, happy baby.

Loves to sing songs, especially "Take me out to the ball game", " ABC's" and this counting song that one of Bryir's toys taught us ha.

Sleeps great, he usually goes to bed around 9-10 and wakes up at 5:30 to eat then back to sleep til about 7:30.

Naps every hour and a half still, for about 30 min to an hour. In the afternoon he usually takes a 2 hour nap.

Will take only the Nuk binkies but only while he's sleeping or almost asleep.

Has to be swaddled to sleep still.

Still so long, he wears 6 month pants and they will be too short pretty soon.

All his cute hair fell out, he's starting to grow it back but it was a bald couple of weeks!

Brewer at 2 Months

So Brewer hit the 2 month mark a few days ago! I wanted to wait til he had his appointment to post so that I could record all his measurements.  We just got back from the appointment and the poor boy hit his shots, but he fell asleep before we even got out to the car, so hopefully he'll sleep for awhile and will forget all about them! He actually did way good, I'm sure it was harder for me than it was for him ha. At 2 months he is: 

          -10 lbs 3 oz (25%)

          -23 3/4 inches (90%)

          -15 inch head (40%)

He is still so tall and skinny! We're gonna try and plump him up though. Problem is, it all goes into making him taller, not fatter lol. This month he loves: 

          -Getting his diaper changed. He hates being in a dirty diaper more than anything! Even if it's the tiniest bit wet he cries until it's changed and then he's fine.

          -Watching TV. It entertains him for forever.

          - Reading books

          -Taking baths

          

He hates:

          -Getting swaddled, but once he does he sleeps so good.

          -Dirty diapers

He has a love/hate relationship with his binky. He quit taking the soothies, so I switched him to the Nuk ones and he takes it so much better, when he decides he wants one.

We've started supplementing and I feel like it's helped him a ton. In just the week we've been doing it he sleeps from about 9:30-4:30, then back to sleep til about 8, he's a lot happier Inbetween feedings/naps, and he's finally getting a tiny bit of chub. I was so anti doing this but I feel like he needed it and it's helped him and my sanity, so all around its a really good thing. He will only drink out of the Nuk bottles though. And FYI, they don't sell any plain ones that I can find, so if anyone sees any let me know! He has a cute camo one, but then he has a gay one that has mustaches all over it and says "hipster baby" on it and I'm pretty embarrresed to even own it, let alone have to use it. I don't understand the while mustache and hipster craze? 

I tried to take a few pics with his Aggie bear so I can compare his growth every month and he was just wiggling away!

I finally got this one that looks like imposed him to hold the bear's hand or try to pose like the bear ha.

In his Utah State t shirt that's a 6 month size, but itmactually fits him, it must just run small.

In other news, today was Dals last "first day of school"! This semester is so chill, we're pretty excited about it! He'll be home a lot more to watch Brew so that I can go do hair or go running or whatever.

Christmas 2013

For Brew's first Christmas we were in Blanding with my family. We stayed for a week and we had so much fun. This was the first time that Bryir got to see Brew and oh my heck, it was so fun to see them together. We mainly just chilled at my parents, cheynas and both the grandparents houses and ate a crap ton of food. Dallan was in heaven playing basketball and hunting all week ( he had a cow elk tag but missed the only time he saw one ha) and i just got to chill with my fam, so it was a nice break from being at home in Logan! 

Traveling down to Blanding...he slept pretty much the whole time, it was awesome

Bryir sharing her nativity baby Jesus with Brew while he was napping...so cute

mimi reading to the kids

Grams Kathy with Brew and Armanii

Every morning my dad would try to make him smile, and he actually did ha and that doesn't happen very often

On Christmas Day we traveled to Delta and he was so good the whole way. He finally woke up the last 15 ,minutes of the drive and was happy as he could be!

A few pics

Here are a few pics I've taken the past 2 weeks with Brew around

 I don't normally have him sleep in his crib, but we are trying it out a few times a week just so he'll get used to sleeping wherever.

 Twinsies!

 So out of it after a nap, but love this cute outfit my mom got for him

 Hangin out

 Dal's brother Cory sent him a pic of their new little boy Brogan dressed up on Saturday in a BYU beanie for the BYU game so Dal had to put him in his Utah State one and send a pic to them.  The boys are only 2 weeks apart so that will be fun!

 First walk on the last warm day we had up here.  We'll be stuck inside for the next 6 months it feels like

 After his first real bath at home.  I love a baby right after a bath, its so cute

 Dal says he got 2 things from me, his open mouth sleeping and his crying ha

Heres one of his newborn pics that Raquel Young did for us.  I'll get the rest of them up soon, they all turned out so cute!


Brew will be 3 weeks in just a few days and we're starting to figure life out a little.  During the day he eats every 1-2 hours, for anywhere from 30 min to an hour, and at night eats every 3 hours if he doesn't fall asleep during his feeding.  If he falls asleep he'll wake up in about an hour and a half and want to eat again so we've got to work on that.  He naps so good during the day and hangs out awake for awhile during the day now, so he's starting to be more alert which is so fun.

I'm healing good and feeling a lot better this week.  Just excited to start working out and being a normal person again.  I don't go anywhere during the week normally so lets just say getting ready doesn't really happen anymore ha.
