Update

Its been awhile since my last post, I've been having a hard time finding the time to write one lately.  John's grandfather passed away on the 18th, so he went back to Missouri for a week.  Breckin & I kept busy while he was gone so it went by pretty fast.  I finally got caught up on all of the books from John's mom.  5 of them were Karen Kingsbury books, & 1 was by Francine Rivers.  I always get sad when I finish their books, I get so drawn in I hate to say goodbye to the characters, lol!

Tomorrow night is when base housing is participating in trick-or-treating, so we're going to get Breckin dressed up & take him around the neighborhood.  We've been told they give away the good candy here, so John & I are excited!  There's nothing wrong with using our 5 month old to benefit ourselves is there?!

On the 6th, Breckin & I are flying to Missouri for  a week.  I'm excited, but also a little nervous to fly with him alone for the first time.  Luckily the trip there & back just have short layovers so it shouldn't be too bad.  I'm praying that our connecting flight is just a gate or two over though since we'll be in Atlanta & that airport is huge!  Oh well, we'll be fine & I'm sure I'll get a great story out of it!  It's cheaper to fly into Kansas City, rather than Springfield, so my aunt & uncle have offered to drive up there & pick me up for my parents since they have an appointment that morning.  I'm so excited to see my family, John's family, & a few friends while I'm there.  It will be a fun week & hopefully I can write about it soon after I get back!

Until next time,

Daddy's Day Off

Today is Columbus Day so John has the day off, yay!  We went to the pumpkin patch at Boone Hall with our friends, "G", his wife Adrianna, & their daughter Jessalynn.  The weather was perfect for fun!  We took lots of pictures & picked out a few pumpkins.  Even though Breckin was sleepy, he liked looking at all the pumpkins, probably because they're so bright.  I think he's pretty smitten with Jessalynn, every time he sees her he just stares & smiles at her.  I haven't seen him do that with any other baby he's been around.  We're going to get together with them on Halloween & take the kids around the neighborhood, we parents finally have an excuse to go trick-or-treating again!  Here's a couple pictures from today:

I'm so excited that we finally have a little one to do these things with, & can't wait to see what fun we'll get into next!

Until next time,

Breckin's Photo Shoot

We had Breckin's photo shoot on Wednesday morning. It was a beautiful morning, but a little on the cool side. Breckin wouldn't smile for anything, I think he may have been a little cold. I've gotten to see a few of them & I think they still turned out cute.

                                Yep, he's definitely a keeper! 

Until next time,

Commissary Fun & Breckin's appt

On Sunday, we missed church due to Breckin taking his morning nap & we didn't want to wake him & have him mad at church. Once he woke up, it was almost time for the commissary to open so we decided to go then instead of waiting until later that afternoon. We got there right after they opened & it was a madhouse! Every isle was packed & people were not paying attention to anyone other than themselves. Kids were running around unattended, & I had one old man almost run me over, while another lady almost took off my foot when I was reaching for the jelly! We would say "excuse me" when we needed to get by someone & they just would just glare at us as if we had called them a horrible name. Needless to say, we have decided to stick with our weekday trips to the commissary & make it closer to closing time since that seems to be the best for us.

On a much more fun note, Breckin had his 4 month check-up yesterday. The doctor he saw this time was from Kansas City, so that was pretty cool. I think she ended up staying in the room with us longer than normal just because we were talking about Missouri so much! Breckin did really well, he now weighs 14.9 & is 25.5 inches long. He wasn't thrilled about the shots, but got over it pretty quick. He gets to start rice cereal now & she said we can try giving him water here & there to see how he likes it. I can't believe how fast he's growing!

Tomorrow morning is his photo shoot! We're excited for it & got him a couple of new outfits. Hopefully he'll show off his sweet smile for the camera!

Until next time,

4 Months Old!

Holy cow, I cannot believe that my baby is already 4 months old! It has gone by so fast & he is growing like a weed! He has started laughing, but I'm not sure if it's his "true" laugh, this one is more of a silly one & we've heard another one break through every once in a while. He's also working extremely hard on rolling over. John saw him do it once, but other than that, he just goes on his side & gets stuck on his arm! I know he'll be doing it in no time though, he's very persistent with it.

On Monday we take him for his 4 month check-up, which includes the next round of shots. He did well the first time, so hopefully it'll go smooth again. I'm pretty excited to see how much he weighs & how long he is now. Wednesday is picture day for him! I'm really excited for that, we have such an amazing photographer!

Anyway, I'll just end today's post by sharing a picture of him

Isn't he the cutest thing ever?!

Until next time
