Catch up!

Since it's been over two months since my last post, a LOT has happened. Instead of boring you with words, here are a TON of pictures!

 Bronson LOVES swimming. My parents bought a house with a pool in the backyard and we have been using it all the time. Here's my little fish. :)

 The view from the pool. Absolutely beautiful.

 Eating solids!

 He's turned into a pretty happy little guy.

 Here's his 5 months picture.

 Oh, I just LOVE this kids faces.

 He REALLY likes eating and gets a little upset sometimes when the food is finally gone.

 More swimming and getting loves from the dogs.

 We had a family reunion over the 4th of July week up in Eden Utah and went boating all week at Pineview Reservoir. It was a lot of fun!

 He literally puts EVERYTHING into his mouth.

 I ran a 10k on the 4th with some of Ryan's family.

 We've had many blowouts before, but none like this one. The picture doesn't show it, but it was all over his shoulders and even up in his hair. Ryan was gagging. :)

 6 month picture!

 6 month well check at the Dr.'s. Weighing in at a whopping 20 lbs .5 oz and measuring 27 3/4" long. We have a big boy!

 Cutest little bum. When does it not become cute to have dimples all over your bum?!

I just LOVE my little guy. These past 6 months have been some of the happiest and hardest months of my life and I wouldn't change it for anything.

Lately

Bronson is growing like a weed! He is talking (gibberish) all the time and smiling a ton. I swear he changes daily. In just a few days he'll be 4 months! CRAZY! It seems like time is flying by, but I can't remember life before my little man. Here are a few more pics from my phone. I swear half of my phone's memory is dedicated to pics of Bronson. I just love him so stinkin' much!

Our first try at the Bumbo.

Sweet cousins holding hands.

This has to be my new fav picture of him!

Our second try at the Bumbo. Getting better.
 

He is always snackin' on those chubby hands.

Daddy's Yankees fan. (The Rangers are better though)  :)

Bronson Update

My sweet baby boy is 3 and a half months!!! Time is flying by! This little guy is just smiling and talking up a storm. I don't think Ryan and I could have made a cuter baby. I am just SO glad I'm his momma and that he is FINALLY doing better. It has been a ROUGH three and a half months, let me tell ya. Here are some cute pics of our little Bronson.

Tummy time! (He HATES this!)

His first baseball hat. Mommy would have preferred a Texas Rangers hat, but oh well. Can't win them all.

My little ladies man.

All dressed and ready for church!

My bunny ears on Easter.

We go for a lot of walks to Macey's.

A video of our little man talking and smiling. PLEASE ignore my annoying and extremely high pitched voice. Oh, the things we do to entertain children [and ourselves. :)]

I just can't get enough!

Here are a few pics I downloaded off my phone. He is just so stinkin' cute!!!!

Bronson's Blessing

We blessed Bronson on the 17th of this month.  My sister and her family were in town from El Paso, Texas and we really wanted to do it while they were here. Ryan was out of town playing softball the Sunday before so we did it the Saturday morning before my sister took off. We just did it at our clubhouse with immediate family and it was wonderful. Ryan gave a beautiful blessing and Bronson actually stopped crying long enough for the blessing. I was really nervous about that! I am so grateful for my little family.  Bronson is such a blessing in our lives.  Even though he has been a very difficult baby, I am so grateful he is mine. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father has trusted me to take care of this little spirit. Hopefully, I don't mess him up too bad. :) Here are some pictures from the morning:

Update!

Oh my goodness time is flying! I am back to work (insert sad face here) and Bronson is growing and changing so much.  This poor little guy has really had a rough go at things.  At first we thought he had reflux, but after trying Zantac then Prevacid and no change in his tummy troubles, we're on to trying new things. We've done rice cereal in bottles, Gripe water, essential oils and massages, probiotics...I mean, there probably isn't anything we haven't tried. We switched to formula and now we're trying different formulas to see if things can improve. Even though he's a very fussy baby, I can't get enough of this little guy.  It's amazing how much I love this little person. Here a few things we've been up to lately:

Bronson has been getting LOTS of love from cousin Kallie.

 Working on his Zoolander Blue Steel pose.

 Working on smiling.

 Chillin'

 Eating LOTS and going into a short coma afterwards.

 Sleeping in his 'straight jacket'

Working on getting "regular"

 And since we're now two months old...getting shots! This poor little guy was passed out cold after crying for about 2 hours and then I had to wake him up to get his shots. :(  Here's the before and after photos.

Honestly, I know this makes me a bad mom, but I LOVE the second photo. This is what he looks like for most of the time.

Here are his two month stats:

Length: 23" (50% percentile)

Weight: 12 lb 6 oz (50% percentile)

Head circ: 40 cm (25% percentile)

We love our heavy boy with a small head! We just think he's perfect!!!!
