Brewer Boy at 7 Months

I'm kinda late on the post this month just because so much has been going on. Dal started his new job, we got our town home all under control, and we've been in Blanding and Delta quite a bit. This last trip to Blanding wasn't too awesome though cause Brew ended up in the ER in Monticello because he was throwing everything up. He ended up having strep and got the Rocephin shot and then got another ear infection and will be getting tubes in the next few weeks. Poor kid has had a rough go when it comes to his dang ears.  This month he:

Weighs 20 pounds

Still doesn't love solids but will eat them so much better if I let him "feed himself" aka make the biggest mess on the planet. The spoon just ends up being the coolest toy to him ha.

Sleeping sucky again, gets up a couple times a night to eat

LOVES to watch the cars go by in our backyard, we have to do this multiple times a day

Loves swimming and stroller rides. Basically anything outside will keep him happy all day

Can sit up on his own! He will fall over every once in awhile but he foes really good now.

Has one of his bottom front teeth

Gets regular hair cuts while it's thickening up

Loves to watch Baby Einstein or the Pbs kids shows. Today he was pretty into the x games and nascar ha so he just really likes TV these days

A pic for Aunt Monie in the onesie she got him

Glued to the X games

And watching Nascar today

Feeding himself

Watching cars with dad

His 7 month pic (we lost his Aggie bear in the move so we're moving his pics to his chair now)

Playing with Aunt Sagy in Blanding

He is at such a fun age and I'm getting excited for him to start crawling and all that fun stuff.  We are really liking Herriman and are loving being done with school and living normal lives! It's about freakin time ha.

Brewer is 6 Months!

I feel like so much has happened since I blogged last month.  I don't feel like Brewer is a baby anymore, he's turning into a "real boy" as Sagan would say ha. He is so fun and is getting such a personality. We had a crazy month traveling all around for Dal's interviews and visiting family, and he was so good in the car. 

This month he:

Had his third set of ear infections, it has been horrible but hopefully that's the last of it for awhile

Started eating most baby foods, and doesn't love them so much ha

Wears size 3 diapers and size 12 month clothes

Loves peekaboo, his play yard, his walker, and LOVES Baby Einstein videos. We catch him cracking up at the dressed up babies all the time ha it's so funny.

Is 28 inches long (97%)

Is 18.7 lbs (75%)

Not sleeping through the night anymore, waking up twice to eat usually

Naps every 2 hours for 1-2 hours

Loves to eat his own toes and anybody else's toes he can find haha

My phone, his wipes, his monkeys and the remote are his favorite toys

Once he gets laughing he cracks up over everything and gets hiccups after

Loves to be outside on the grass or in the swing

We get the mail everyday and he has to always hold a letter on the way inside ha

The last pic is from he Scotty McCreery concert at USU, it was the first time we have left Brewer and I cries for a sec but then I was good haha.  So now Dal has graduated FINALLY, and has accepted a job as an engineer for Kennecott. We are moving into a town home in Herriman in the morning and are pretty excited to start "real life"!

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

After our niece Haven's blessing 

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.
