So it's been a busy sort of time here. Lets see, where did I leave off? Right around our vacation I think.
We took our first family vacation to visit some of my family in Missouri. We left July 1st at around 7pm. It's about a 12 hour drive so we were pretty anxious to see how well the baby would do. He slept most of the way there, only waking and fussing a couple times but he went right back to sleep. So he got lots of sleep but the rest of us didn't. Good thing my grandma was happy to see us and then let us take a nap! We celebrated his first 4th of July in style with a big family get together. Then right before we headed back home we celebrated his FIRST birthday! I can not believe he is already one! My family were all very happy to meet the baby and of course the hubby, they hadn't met him before. We can't wait to go back, it was so much fun. Oh and we went to the Kansas City Zoo! Brogans first adventure at the Zoo! It was very hot that day, and we almost melted, thank goodness for the misters set throughout the Zoo! I think Brogans favorite part was when he got to pet the sheep, or more like pull the wool out of the sheep!
Coming back from our first family vacation we found out that my hubby was fired! That's right, no more income! So we are now frantically looking for employment for either one of us. It's not the end of the world and we will get through it.
A couple days after we got home we had a birthday party for the baby up here. That's right, my baby got two parties! It's a good thing we bought mostly everything in advance or we might not have had a whole lot for the party. It was a nice party with lots of family and friends, and the baby got lots of new toys that get scattered throughout my living room. At both parties Brogan didn't like touching the cake, he just wouldn't do it! When my mom put his hands in the icing at his second party he about threw a fit. He likes ice cream though!
Did I mention my baby turned ONE! How crazy it went by so fast! I still can't believe it.
Well that was the major goings on that I hadn't said anything about yet. We have another eventful week ahead of us. Today we have a developmental checkup for the baby. Tomorrow we have pictures being taken (they are free thanks to inspiration through art, like their facebook page!) with an awesome photographer. Then Thursday we finally have the year checkup, I am dreading them shots!
Guess who no longer has any bottles! That's right I finally gave them up. How was I gonna take it away from the baby if I still had one? No just kidding, of course I was talking about the baby! Yeah, no more bottles! It's kinda funny how he gets mad at his sippy cups though! Now the next step is the binky, and I don't think it is going to be too bad. I think.
