Yes I know I am a couple hours late, but just think of it as getting some attention on a non specific day!
So I found a card that gave the history of Fathers Day. It was simple, and I can totally see it happening this way! So do you wanna know yet? Well it said something like, Fathers Day was invented because about a month after Mothers Day somebody said, "Wait a minute!" It was one of the best cards I saw! Then I got a card for my dad from his grandson and it said, Grandpa, I know I'm cool and I know your cool, so what happened to that weird generation in the middle! That was also one of the best I have seen!
So to all the fathers, soon to be fathers, and single mothers who fill that description as well,
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

Playing Catch Up!
So it's been a little bit since my last post and some things have gone down as they say. I don't know why they say they have gone down, it wasn't much of a downward motion for me, but you know how it is. Don't you hate it when people say you know how it is? What exactly? I might know how it is but I have no clue at any given time what you are thinking, and how it is for me probably isn't even close to how it is for you! Anyway, now that I have wasted the appropriate amount of time on nothing in particular, lets get down to it!
I had a couple of birthday parties to go to just recently. They were both for the babies 1st birthdays. Yeah! So anyway their actual birthdays are at the beginning of June, just four days apart, so I knew the parties were probably going to be the same weekend. Boy was I dreaming! They ended up being on the same day! Yeah! So the first party I went to was a little better for my baby because he actually got to play with other babies. Although there was this little 10 month old that was walking everywhere! The little girl whose party it was is NOT walking and my baby (11 months) is NOT walking, so this little 10 month old is walking around showing our babies up! She tripped on something a couple of times though I had nothing to do with it! I'm just kidding, I was the one tripping her! No I was kidding about her tripping, she didn't actually trip on anything. She was bigger than both of our babies though so maybe that had something to do with her walking so soon! Yeah that's what I am going with! I didn't get to see the cake smash for her party though because I had to go to the other party!
So I left to go to the other party and I was asked to pick up the balloons for this party on my way there (I was going right by the store) so I stopped and made my mom (the unofficial grandma for all the babies in question) hold all the balloons on her lap, well in front of her face because I didn't want my baby playing with the strings. It was pretty hard to see around these balloons on the way to the party and then we saw two cops on the way, I just knew we were going to get pulled over! We made it to the party without a ticket though! This party was a little slower. First we had to wait for the birthday boy to get there. Then they played pass the baby, which is fine, but like I said not very fun for my baby! Finally we got to see the birthday boy drop the cake in his lap! It took some encouraging but he finally started to really make a mess!
Whew! Glad that day is over with!
On the home front Brogan has really been trying to walk. See, he didn't like getting shown up by that 10 month old either! He does really good at walking around the furniture, and he can stand in one place (without holding onto anything) for a little bit before he starts to fall. We got him one of those toys that he can push and walk with and he walks all over the place with it. Well until he comes to a wall, or a piece of furniture, or one of his toys. Then he kinda just gets caught up and stands there waiting for someone to help him get going again. He hasn't gotten the hang of turning yet! He does love cruising the house, whether it is in his walker or as far as he can go with his push toy. So now I am trying to stay caught up with the baby as well, if he's not in his walker getting into things then he is crawling EVERYWHERE getting into things! I love that he finally crawls though! Tonight he was cruising the furniture and decided to just let go and gave himself a fat lip! This is the first time he has really fallen and hurt himself so he cried for a good amount of time till I gave him something cold to chew on.
We also tonight put his crib down to the lower setting! It's pretty exciting, my baby is getting so big! We didn't have to worry about it until now because he wouldn't pull himself up to anything, well he did sometimes, but in his crib he would just lay there looking at his musical toy or at the most sit up. So we moved it down before he decides he wants to make a great escape!
Now this month I have two more birthdays, two baby showers, and a bridal shower. Yeah I didn't need any money this month anyway! Then of course the big first birthday for my baby next month! Not to mention our trip to Missouri to see my family (my dads side) who have only seen pictures of Brogan. I am excited to be getting away honestly. Even if we don't have that much spending money!
