Brew Boy at 11 Months

So we are really finally done leaving town every other week, so It's been nice getting Brew back on a schedule again.  We had a little sickness for a couple days but other than that she's been pretty smooth sailin.  This month he:

Learned how to give kisses (open mouth, lick your cheek kind of kiss but it's my favorite)

Still wearing 18 month clothes, size 4 diapers, and size 4 shoes

Wearing hats a lot better 

Has mastered climbing up both flights of stairs but not so much the down part

Is cruising along furniture but still quite a way from walking

Has 4 teeth, two bottom and two top, and is getting one more

Sleeping from 7:30-7 most nights and 2 naps a day

Was an awesome eater until he was sick and then he was thrown off for a few days, now he's getting back to eating better again

Is pretty into buckles, cords, cars and books 

LOVES bathing and we pretty much do it every day now cause he thinks it's so awesome 

He learned to clap during the BYU game.  Everyone else was clapping so he was really serious about doing it too

We took away his bottle so now he only takes sippies

Playing on the church lawn

Every day when we get back from our runs Brew heads straight for the front porch to play.  He's always in the craziest pj/warm outfits that I have to document.  This one is mild for sure.

Checkin out the map of the lake with Papa

Very serious about the game

We ran into the Halloween store and we thought this mask would freak him out but he thought it was hilarious

Loving the sand

Loves the selfies

Brewer is back to sleeping in his crib after about 2 weeks of thinking it was "play zone" so during that time he slept in his pack n play...so glad that's over.  I'm a little stressed about having to switch him to normal milk in a month but hopefully it won't be too bad!

10 Months Old

This month I feel like Brew has made lots of progress in the mobility department.  He is all over the house and yard and I love it. Everyone says how bad it is when your kids get mobile but I love it. I love that he can get whatever he wants without crying for me to bring it to him. I'm getting more and more excited about him learning to walk, even though it still might be awhile still. This month Brew:

Went from army crawling to real crawling, except for it's not on both knees.  One knee is on the ground while he is on his other foot, like he's walking ha it's so funny.

Still sleeping awesome. Sleeps from 8-7 with naps from 9:30-11:30 or 12 and 3-5. Perfect schedule.

Still eating everything, loves red Mac the most, which makes me so happy cause it's my fave and Dal hates it haha.

Is pulling himself up and trying to walk holding onto me or furniture.

Says mama and dada.

Wears size 4 diapers, 18 month clothes and size 4 shoes.

Loves to be outside all day, every day.

Will not wear hats soft longer than a few minutes.

Thinks animals are awesome, we'll probably take one of Bryir's cats home us soon so that he has a pet.

Will only watch Baby Einstein, Dinosaur Train and Curious George.

Travels awesome (he better, we pretty much live in our car)

Still has 2 teeth but a top front tooth is breaking through as of today.

Not so great with the sippy anymore.

Drinks about 24oz of formula a day.

The boys at the Parade of Homes, clearly one is happy and one is not ha

Playin with Great-Grandma Black

Chasing ducks at the Lake in Daybreak

4-wheelin

Working on learning how to climb stairs

We just got back from the Shumway labor Day campout in Blanding and I swore that that was the last time I would go home for awhile but Sagan is flying in from Kentucky in a couple weeks so it looks like I'll make one more trip ha. Brew has been such a good traveler, if not, there would be no way I would go near as often as I do. We are looking for homes out in Stansbury Park right now, and just staying busy with Brew, our families, and Dal's job.  Now that football season is here I feel like there is a never-ending game on TV. We've got tickets to a BYU game soon and try to hit the high school games when we can. My stake does a workout class every morning at the church right across the street from us so that's helping my sanity when I'm in Herriman, and the ducks at the lake keep us busy most afternoons now that our pool is kinda cold. We are so glad to be out of Logan but can't wait to buy our house and get out of the city.

9 months

I'm getting later and later on these posts, they just come so fast! This month Brew had his 9 month appointment with his new doctor, and she said everything was great. This month he:

Is army crawling all over the place

Is starting to try to pull himself up on anyone or anything he's next to

Still wearing 12-18 month clothes

Weighs 21.8lbs (77%) and is 30 inches tall (97%)

Eats about 26 oz of formula a day and 3 real meals. He'll eat pretty much anything now, the gag reflex is not near as bad ha

Loves to drink water from a cup or water bottle, he gets so mad when I only give him a sip or two

Really into looking at books by himself and being read to

Has a train, crab toy and a ball that are each his favorites

Thinks playing in the bathroom or with vents is really cool

Loves to play in the trash and looks at me every time he does cause he knows he's not supposed to 

Sleeping usually from 8-7 ish and taking 2, 2 hour naps a day (best schedule ever)

Still loving to be outside swimming or going for walks or whatever

Quite the picture overload but this might be the only "scrapbook" this boy has haha. He is so fun and his personality gets funner everyday. He gets so excited when Dal comes home from work and gets to have some boy time. 

Hopefully my next post will be right on time!

8 Months!

I feel like I just barely posted his 7 month post, summer just goes by so dang fast. We've had a busy month with going to Delta and Blanding, having visitors stay with us, and Brew's surgery. Cheyna had her baby Aiker last time we were down and now I feel like Brew is a straight up toddler after seeing them together! This month Brew:

Is eating solids soo much better. He'll down a jar of squash in about 2 minutes.

Has started giving high fives and saying mama.

Loves all "real" things more than his toys, like glasses, cups and shoelaces.

Still wearing size 3 diapers.

Wearing 12-18 month clothes.

Has both his bottom teeth and getting one of his top one now.

Still napping like a champ (2 long naps a day) but sleeping like crap at night.

Got tubes in his ears.

Loves swimming. I'll sit him on the edge and count to 3, and at 3 he lunges forward to me, it's the cutest thing.

Loves the swing and slides at the park.

WILL NOT wear shoes or hats, has a complete come apart until he rips them all off.

Gets regular hair cuts, the clippers still scare him a little but we get through it.

Loves to be held and jump, he could do that forever.

Trying to figure out how to crawl. He goes from sitting up to all fours but can't figure out for the life of him how to move.

His ear tube surgery went really well and I feel like it's already helped him so much.  The worst part was the 10 hours before surgery when he couldn't eat. Thanks freaking heavens for his favorite shows that kept him somewhat occupied.  We went to Dr Park at Primary Children's and he did so good. From the time they took him from me and then told me it was done it was like 10 minutes, it was awesome. He ended up not having to get a IV cause he reacted really well to the basso that was good.  After surgery we had to put drops in his ears for 3 days and that was such a pain, cause if you know Brew you know if he doesn't want something he'll knock it right out of your hand ha so it was a struggle getting those drops in. His doc said he had lots of fluid and that he basically has probably had a lingering ear infection for months...so sad. Hopefully that's all behind us now!

Lovin the selfie
