Two Month Check-Up

Yesterday, Brennan went in for his two month check-up at the doctor's office. I let them know my concern for the rashes and spit-up he's been having and Dr. Lossen seemed to think he's been suffering from a bit of acid reflux, so Bren is now taking some liquid medication twice a day (basically a baby zantac). Because he is a bit of a sensitive kid, she also decided not to give him his immunizations yet, thinking we should clear up the rash and stomach issues before giving him his shots, so we go back in a couple weeks to try again.

As far as growth goes, he's doing fine! At 10 weeks, he measures 23 inches long and weighs 10lbs. 3 oz. I can't believe he's growing up so fast!

As for Mom, I go back to work next week (part time for a bit, then full time). I'm sure I'll be just a bit emotional leaving him the first few times, but that's life! I just wish I could spend every waking moment with him... I'm afraid I'll miss something! He's beautiful even sleeping!

Brennan's First Christmas!

Well, Baby Brennan has made it through his first Christmas, and let me tell you, it was a busy one!
Here are some of the highlights:
On Christmas Eve, we packed up and headed to Grandma and Grandpa Gray's house. We woke up the next morning and opened the first round of presents. As you can see, Brennan was bit confusted at first, but he came around eventually!

He sported a "Who needs Santa, I've got Grandparents!" shirt... oh so appropriate!

After that, we headed to Great-Grandma and Grandpa Gray's house for more holiday celebration, followed by a road trip home to Grandma and Grandpa Kunst's house for our final Christmas of the day! Whew, it was a long day!

Here's just a bit of the loot collected:



Thank you all for making his first Christmas such a wonderful experience!

Smile!

Okay, so I know I've posted twice today, but while I was typing the last message, I snapped this picture... I hope it makes you smile!

Brennan and his buddy Carter!

With only a few weeks left before I have to go back to work, I'm starting to get emotional about leaving my baby! I do count myself lucky though, because Brennan is going to an in-home daycare at my friend Jean's house. We worked together at Fastenal and she is now staying home to watch her new son. The two boys are 8 days apart (Carter is the older one). We've had a few play-dates so they can get to know eachother. Here are a few pics taken yesterday... I'm pretty sure they are buddies already!

A Christmas Grump

This is just hilarious... hopefully it is not a hint at his true feelings for the Christmas season. Enjoy!

Christmas Cookies and a Cutie!

Today, Becki Shambour and I did a little holiday baking and made quite a mess in the process. On the menu are cut out sugar cookies with frosting and some Rolo candy cookies. Surprisingly enough, they all turned out great!


In the meantime, Brennan remained adorable, as always. Tomorrow he'll be a full 8 weeks old and I can hardly believe how animated he is becoming. Here are a few pics from this week... isn't he a stud???

Oh, and by the way, I added an email link... feel free to send us an email and let us know what you're up to!

Bouncing Bren... or Not!

So, Adam had the great idea to try putting Brennie in his Johnny Jump Up from Great Grandma Gray. Thinking he'd have a good time bouncing around, we propped him all up with a blanket and stepped back to see if he was enjoying himself... needless to say, he enjoyed himself right to sleep!

Check him out!

Brennan in Black and White!

So, I hope you aren't sick of seeing pictures of little Brennan, because there are more to come. He's just so adorable, I can't seem to help myself. The latest news in Brenna's world is that he's figured out he has a tongue. He doesn't seem to understand what it is or what to do with it, so he just sticks it out a lot. He is also just starting to want to smile, so you can bet there is a lot of baby talk coming from Mommy and Grandma to get him going. Here are a few shots I got of his attempts!
