Picture Fun

In honor of my little boy turning 9 months old today... here are some pictures that we have taken recently of Breydon that I LOVE.

I love how old he looks in this picture. We were on our way to get him his first little dish of frozen yogurt!!

He wants ALL things electronic...

... and fudgecicles. :)

This face!!

 He CAN use a sippy cup... when he feels like it.

Bath times are still a favorite! (I was questioned about the amount of bath water Breydon gets. I can assure you that when he gets this much, I am ALWAYS right next to him in the tub.) :)

This little stinker kept escaping from his towel, where he was SUPPOSED to be drying off. It was too cute to not take a zillion pictures... and a few videos of his naked butt crawling across the room. ;)

Still naked. But standing this time.

The first bottom tooth. :) My only hint was that he was chewing on everything and had runny diapers. He was still as happy as could be!

Yes, its true-- Im jealous of my sons eyelashes.

Hahaha... booty in the air, sleeping soundly.

Happy nine months old Breydon!!!!!

Twenty-One

In the last 21 days, my baby has learned to: roll in BOTH directions, sit himself up from a laying position, crawl, and he even got his first bottom tooth. My little baby isnt so little anymore... :(

I may regret this...

... But I voulnteered to "play softball" on Tuesday in the mens church league. Hahahahahahha!! The thing is... I ALWAYS go and watch the games because Michael and my daddy play. Even when its freezing cold, even when I have a 8 month old and the game is late, even when Im pregnant and on bedrest, Im there. I like it that much. So the thought of forfitting a game, simply due to a lack of players... If I can do something... I will. So... I might be watching the game this week FROM the field instead of the stands. :) I cant promise that Ill touch the ball... and I can GUARENTEE that I wont hit the ball... but Ill stand out there, and pretend to play. And Ill walk up to the plate to bat. Michael? Dad? You better love me. :)

So... Im tired of being stuck in the house. And almost every day Breydon and I fill up the jacuzzi and take a bath, because we need something to do, and he loves water. So. This is my solution to not wanting to be inside every day. :D

And I went back to the OBGYN today to re-check my blood perssure. 128/80, which is a little bit high, but probably because I was nervous. ;) HOWEVER, I am completely done with BP medicine. And we are 100% clear to try again for another baby! So, hopefully shortly after Breydon's first birthday we will have some happy news to announce! (Or keep secret, until the second trimester like we did last time..)     ;)

Mothers Day!

Yesterday morning I woke up to Michael and Breydon hovering over me. I noticed they were there because mister Breydon is NEVER quiet when he is awake. Such a boy. :) I quickly saw that there were donuts for me on the table next to my bed, and that Michael had gotten me my favorite flowers. So sweet! Breydon had finger painted a card for me, and Michael had a card for me as well. Inside he had written me a letter telling me how much he loved me, and how thankful he was for me. It also said that next Satuday he's taking me to my favorite resturant, and out to dinner, and CLOTHES SHOPPING which is like... my favorite. :) After church Michael let me take a nap which was wonderful, and we grilled for dinner. It was quite the day. I am SO lucky to have those boys in my life. SO lucky!! :) Happy first mothers day to meeeeeeee!

Breydon is the light of my life, the reason that I wake up in the morning, the reason my heart beats. I love him more than ANYTHING in this world. The closer he gets to a year old, and the closer we get to thinking about having another baby the more I wonder if I could have another baby that could even come close to comparing to him. He is sweet, snuggley, mommy's boy, and he's cuter than any child Ive ever seen. ((Yes, I am being very biased. Mommy's are allowed!! lol)) But seriously though! Hes perfect.

I should be graduating from college this weekend. But Im not. Im trying not to cry as I type this, because it makes me sad. I KNOW that I have something (someone) much more important than a diploma. I have Breydon. And I know that I will graduate, its not like I went to school for 3.5 years, just to not finish. Im working on it, slowly. I would have never thought when I started college, that I would be HERE right now. It just goes to show that God's plans are bigger than mine. It doesnt matter if I wanted to graduate today... God decided that it was time for me to have a family instead. Thats fine with me. Cuz all I have ever wanted, my main wish for myself, was to be a mommy. And that- I am! :) :) :)

Blasting to the past...

I can't wait to do this again... :D

This was just a random day that I woke up looking HUGE because he switched positions. I went back to normal the next day because he had moved back. My belly looked so round here!! The rest of the time it was oblong. :)

I cannot imagine how HUGE I would have been if I carried Breydon to term!! Hopefully next time, Ill know. ;)

I love you.



6rf67ukhm y 7byyyujk, (This is how Mr. Breydon would title this post...)

This has been the longest weekend of. my. life. Honestly! I am an introvert, so sitting in a classroom from 8-5 every day this weekend with a bunch of people I dont really know, was EXHAUSTING!! But, now I am certified in search and rescue, triage management, first aid, and extinguishing smallish fires. Good thing.

Tomorrow is Mr. Breydon's bi-monthly cardiologist appointment. Im not nervous for it, because usually they are boring. Yes- my son's heart is still doing something weird, NO- we arent going to increase his medicine... and Yes- he is getting another EKG. And those SUCK because he wont sit still long enough to get a good reading. So it takes a year to do. And he grabs the wires and rips the leads off, so its like a never ending test.

Bahhh.

A quick note from Breydon:
