There are so many little things Landon does each day that I never want to forget. One of those things I want to always remember is, how cute it is now that he is talking. He has an enormous vocabulary for his age. If you aren't listening carefully it might just sound like baby babble but, to a proud mama these little words are the world. I wanted to document his little dictionary, not so much to share with all of you but, so that I never forget them.<br />
<br />
He can name most all his favorite people. "Mama" and "Dada" were first (I would just like to point out that Mama came before Dada). He also says "Nan-Nee" (Nanny) and "Pa-Pa" which double for both Poppy and Poppa. Grammie, now this one is a little confusing he has said "Ah-mi" a little but most of the time when he see her picture he just says "Mama" I think this came from spending more than a week with her and hearing me call her Mom. He also says "Paw" and "Kye" for Uncle Casey. He loves his cousins too but, he can only say two of them "Diddy" (Alyssa) this name came from Alivia trying to say Sissy when she was little and it stuck. He also says "Kay-la" (Mikayla) the others are all a little confusing. He has recently started saying occasionally saying "Brooo" (Brooke) "Sigh" (Shai) and "Prep-py" (Presley) when we look at pictures...which we do almost everyday.<br />
<br />
He also loves to greet the dogs each morning. He can't wait to get into the bedroom. Once he is in he immediately yells "Dada", giggles and then says "Jahk" (Jackson) and "Dodo" (Odie) I secretly love that he calls Odie, Dodo. He likes to give them both a hug. When we come in the house after we have been gone, as soon as I unlock the door he starts saying "Bah, Bah, Bah" or Back, Back, Back...because I am usually saying "back up, back up" because they are trying to rush out the door. He also tells them to "Go, Go, Go" when he wants them to get away.<br />
<br />
The boy knows his food and asks for it constantly. In the morning he asks for "Toas" (Toast), "Mulk" (Milk), "Mel-on" (Watermelon) and "Nan-na" (Banana). The boy also wants to snack all day long he constantly goes to the refrigerator or cabinet and says "Kah-ker" (Cracker), "Cheees" (cheese), "Boc-boc" (Broccoli) "Kooh-kee" (cookie), "Cake" and "Pie" are both very clear. "Jew" (Juice) is also popular, as is "mallow" (Marshmallow). He also knows the names of stuff he is not allowed to have (yes I let him have marshmallow, cake and pie) "Teee" (Tea), "Koh" (Coke) and "Dooo" (Mountain Dew)<br />
<br />
Sesame Street is a staple around here. He watches it every morning, it's one of the few "Soo" or Shows that he will watch. He names the characters he knows when they come on or if he sees them in a book. The two favorite are "Ur-ni" (Ernie) and "Mel-mo" (Elmo). He also likes "Grow-ger" (Grover), "Boh-boh" (Big Bird), "Koo-Koo" (Cookie Monster), "Bur" (Bert) and "Ah-bi" (Abby). I love that he names them when we are reading a book.<br />
<br />
He also will point out his (or your) body parts including "Eyeh" (Eye), "Nooo" (Nose), "Tee" (Teeth) and "Bub-bun" (Belly button)<br />
<br />
He also goes through all the transportation options on a daily basis. "Cah" (car), "payne" (plain), "boaa" (boat) and "Chooo" for train, occasionally he will say "Tuck" (Truck)<br />
<br />
He also says some things we wish he didn't know including "No-No" and "Poop" those are both very clearly spoken and need no translation *sigh* Only the beginning right.<br />
<br />
A few other that I think are cute "Wuk" or work, which is usually where Dada is when he asks. "Sye" (outside), "Nigh-ni" (Night Night) "Bebe" (baby), "Baahh" (Bath) and "Pap" (Pappy or Paci). He also says "Heh-wo" (Hello) when he is pretending to talk on the phone or calculator.<br />
<br />
In addition to all this he usually repeats everything we say. He amazes me every single day! There is nothing that makes me happier than hearing that sweet little voice and I never want to forget all his sweet little words.Brittanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262665184083443575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906774323412187256.post-80291848796547679452012-07-09T19:16:00.000-07:002012-07-09T19:16:44.086-07:00I'm Baaack...<div style="text-align: center;">
Holy Cow! Yes, I realize it has been almost 2 months since my last post. I cannot even begin to tell you all the things that have happened during that time. Things have been super crazy. I have some fun things to share and some great pictures to post. While I want to post about everything that has happened I know, realistically, this will never happen. So, I give you instead the condensed version.</div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the picture that was on his invitation. Our theme was "We've got the first year licked"</div>

I really, really, really (for whatever reason) wanted to make Landon's first cake. I had seen a cake on Pinterest that was similar and wanted to recreate it. I am not going to lie...I was really nervous that I was going to screw it up.<br />

Happy 1st Birthday Landon Dean!!!</div>Brittanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262665184083443575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906774323412187256.post-25214556208834773352012-04-14T17:24:00.001-07:002012-04-14T17:24:24.883-07:001 YEAR!!!I truly cannot believe Landon is a year old. I never in my wildest dreams thought this year would go by so quickly but, it has and now I have a toddler. I will continue to take his picture monthly for the next year but I will not do an update each month. For now, here is our last monthly update.
<br />
<ul>
<li>Landon finally started walking beyond taking just a few steps here and there. He is fully mobile just in time for his birthday.</li>
<li>He is now on whole milk</li>
<li>Copies almost everything you say and do including coughing, blowing your nose and whistling.</li>
<li>His newest words are "Boo" "Dog" "Bird" and "Cookie"</li>
<li>He signs "all done" and "more" and knows what they mean.</li>
<li>He LOVES outside and would gladly stay out all day and he LOVES to play in his water table and screams when its time to come in.</li>
<li>He has some pretty sweet dance moves!</li>
<li>Spends alot of his time driving his cars</li>
<li>Loves to get in the cabinet and play with the pots and pans</li>
<li>Sleeps ALL NIGHT LONG!!! and will stay in his bed until you get him up.</li>
<li>Eats anything and everything including sushi, Japanese food, Mexican food (which resulted in a terrible diaper rash) jellybeans and beets</li>
<li>When I go into get him each morning he wants me to kiss whatever stuffed animal he has (usually Ernie) and then he kisses him too.</li>
<li>He blows kisses, brushes his hair, brushes his teeth, points to whatever it is he wants and feeds the dog</li>
<li>Starting to get a little attitude, he screams at you if you are doing something he doesn't like</li>
<li>Still has the sweetest baby laugh of all time</li>
</ul>
To my sweet Landon<br />
Oh quickly time has passed! It seems only yesterday I was bringing you home for the first time. I wish I could tell you how much I have enjoyed the past year. You have made me happier than I ever could have imagined. I cannot wait to see what is in store for us over the next year. I love you baby boy! Happy Birthday!<br />
<br />
and now....my 1 Year old!!!<br />

My. Goodness. How on earth is it possible that I will be the mom of a toddler tomorrow? How has a year already passed? I knew it would go by fast but, I think it was more like warp speed. Don't get me wrong there were moments that I thought would never end. They did end, in the blink of an eye. There was waaaaay more fun and good times then there were stressful times. This past year has been the most amazing year ever. <br /><br />One year ago today, after a surprise water breaking incident, Heath and I headed to the hospital. I will never forget that drive. We were so excited, scared and happy for what was ahead. I will be old and gray and never forget those last few moments of us being a family of 2. Landon's entrance into this world is my most precious memory. Watching him take his first breath was stunning. My heart sings when I think of the moment we first looked into each others eyes. The world around me stopped and so did his crying. For a moment, it was just the two of us looking at each other. He was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen. <br /><br />There is nothing I enjoy more than being a mommy. I love seeing each and every one of Landon's milestones. I get so excited when he does something for the first time. Even though it means that he is growing up. I adore it when he calls for me, seeing his sweet smile each morning and when he hugs my neck when I pick him up. He brings me more joy than I ever thought possible.<br /><br />I have been so amazed to see Heath with him too. They have so much fun playing together. I love to see him rock Landon or to try to teach him something new. Landon makes us laugh out loud on a daily basis. <br /><br />Oh, Sweet Landon,<br /><br />You're are my greatest gift ever, a special delivery straight from the hands of God. I could not imagine life without you. I have treasured these past 12 months. I am honored to be called your Mommy. Tonight I put you to bed as a baby for one last time. Tomorrow you will be a toddler and while I am sad to leave babyhood behind I am thrilled to see the amazing little boy you are growing into. Daddy and I love you more than you will ever know. We would do anything for you. You are our greatest treasure. We love you Landon Dean...to the moon and back a million times. Even though tomorrow you will be a toddler, you will always be my baby!<br /><br />Love MommyBrittanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262665184083443575noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906774323412187256.post-53806651913694741092012-03-19T19:29:00.005-07:002012-03-19T19:39:38.964-07:00Embrace the Camera: Cherry Blossom FestivalOn Sunday night Heath and I took the little man to the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. We had such a wonderful time together (I will write more about that later). Heath took these pictures of us at the end of the night just before we left. I adore these pictures even though I look a terrible mess in them. Our mouths are blue from eating an Italian ice. What a perfect moment to embrace the camera!<br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 286px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721801581557649410" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4HfMuUdnsjQ/T2fsORgDEAI/AAAAAAAABSE/W4RBU37fi-4/s400/DSCF1485.JPG" /><br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 286px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721801156249912866" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f7Z-tj83aEo/T2fr1hGyBiI/AAAAAAAABR0/7FgArnnoJyk/s400/DSCF1489.JPG" /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" src="http://i54.tinypic.com/15yi6ad.jpg" /></a></center>Brittanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262665184083443575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906774323412187256.post-56513187360769843252012-03-08T17:54:00.003-08:002012-03-08T18:56:54.822-08:0011 monthsI am a little sad that we are finally to the 11 month post. The next time I do this I will no longer have a baby but, a toddler. Landon has grown and changed more this past month than any of the other months. He is starting to look less like a baby and more like a little boy. Here is what he has been doing over the past month<br /><ul><li>He wears 12 month clothes and size 3 shoe</li><li>Still only has 2 bottom teeth, I am starting to think that is all he is going to have.</li><li>He uses those tiny teeth to bite! Ugh!!! Where he learned this from, I have no idea. I also have no idea how to stop it.</li><li>This kid loves to eat! He will eat just about anything. He does still eat some baby food.</li><li>We are trying to be more careful about what we say because he tries to repeat everything.</li><li>He now signs "finished" he still isn't picking up on the "more" sign. Add that to his "milk" and "eat" for a total of 3</li><li>He tells the dogs to "Go, Go, GO!" and thinks it is super funny</li><li>Nothing is off limits now. He opens every drawer and cabinet within his reach. We will be apply child-proof locks very shortly.</li><li>He terrorizes the dogs on a daily basis. They don't seem to mind too much because they keep coming around.</li><li>He says"Mama","Dada", "Bye-Bye", "Dot" (Our cat's name) and "Balloon" on a regular basis and understands the meaning.</li><li>I love to watch him drive his car and make the "Brrrmmm" noise. It is so cute. He is fascinated with cars.</li><li>He loves to read books. I can set him in his room and he will read by himself for awhile.</li><li>SLEEP, glorious sleep! I now lay him down in his bed awake and he goes to sleep on his own. He sleeps from about 8:30 PM-8:00 AM. He will usually play quietly in his bed until I come and get him up. Sleep training has worked wonders.</li><li>He loves to see how things work.</li><li>He blows kisses and it's so darn cute.</li><li>I recently handed him his brush and he put it up to his head and attempted to brush his hair. Melt my heart</li><li>Speaking of hair, he is growing more each day and it is a beautiful, white blonde.</li><li>He has the perfect mix of up time and down time. His up time is exhausting...mostly me chasing him around. I adore his down time, he will sit in my lap and read books or just cuddle. This is my favorite part of the day.</li><li>He has taken his first steps but is still not walking on his own. I think by his birthday he will be.</li><li>On a separate note, Birthday party planning is in full swing!!!</li></ul><p>Oh, sweet Landon. I truly cannot believe you have been in our lives for almost a year now. I cannot imagine life with out you. I love to see your sparkling eyes each morning and to kiss your sweet cheeks at night. Watching you grow has been one of the most amazing things ever. I love to see you do something new. Thank you for filling our life with such joy baby boy. </p><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 286px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717711556642825218" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a6JBviCGXj0/T1lkXfXXZAI/AAAAAAAABRg/lp4lpDH0-UM/s400/11months.jpg" />Brittanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262665184083443575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906774323412187256.post-77785431920665843092012-03-03T13:29:00.004-08:002012-03-03T16:59:52.500-08:00My Child is a work of A.R.T.My sweet little Landon is a work of A.R.T.<br /><br />Well, yes, he is also a work of art too!<br /><br />What I am referring to though is A.R.T. or Assisted Reproductive Technology. Of course, if you read my blog often then you already know that.<br /><br />Struggling with infertility is one of the most difficult things I have had to go through in my life. Without fertility treatments he would most likely not be here. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to try and that it was successful.<br /><br />There are many others who are struggling as well. One in eight couples are battling infertility. RESOLVE is a non-profit organization designed to promote reproductive health and to ensure equal access to all family building options for men and women experiencing infertility or other reproductive disorders. You can read more about them <a href="http://www.resolve.org/">here</a>.<br /><br />This spring across the country, RESOLVE is hosting several fundraising walks called <em>The Walk of Hope</em>. It is a 1-mile walk that recognizes the many ways in which families are built, it helps supports local support groups and programs for the 7.3 million women and men living with infertility and raises public understanding of how the disease of infertility impacts families nationwide.<br /><br />And, guess what?<br /><br />One of the 3 walks just happens to be in Atlanta and I have a team (a very small team) that will be walking in it. Our team goal is to raise $500. Funds raised from the Walk support local RESOLVE programming which includes support groups and educational events, public awareness initiatives, and advocacy efforts to ensure family building options are available to all!<br /><br />I am walking for my sweet beautiful baby boy!<br /><br />I am walking for myself and for other mommies who have walked this same road that are now resolved.<br /><br />I am walking for all my friends and family who still have empty arms. I know one day, ALL OF YOU will be resolved! Until then I am here for you because, even though I hold my baby boy I will not ever forget what it feels like to have a heart that is struggling with infertility.<br /><br />We will be walking of Saturday, April 28th. If you would like to make a donation to our team you can go <a href="http://familybuilding.resolve.org/site/TR/WalkofHope2012/WalkofHope?team_id=2200&pg=team&fr_id=1090">here to donate</a> and click on the "Make a Gift" link. If you would like to walk with us click on the "Join Team" link. I REALLY want to reach our goal.<br /><br />Thank you all so very much for all your support! I have one of the all time best support teams!Brittanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262665184083443575noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906774323412187256.post-7894201823441850762012-03-03T12:25:00.006-08:002012-03-03T12:57:14.128-08:00February Leftovers<div align="left">I seriously have no time for blogging these days but, I still want to document L growing up.

WHAT!!! I cannot believe in just 2 short months he will be a year old. Time is literally moving faster than I ever though possible...and so is he!!!Everyday he becomes a little more independent.<br /><ul><li>Last month we accomplished crawling...this month, this man is attempting to walk! He will, with out a doubt, be fully mobile by his first birthday. He walks holding one of our hands or with his push toy.</li><li>He claps and will give a high five</li><li>He loves figuring out he can make a new noise. He clicks his tongue and blow raspberries just to hear the noise</li><li>There are still only two lonely bottom teeth. Which brings me to my next point.</li><li>One I am not so proud of...he attempts (and occasionally succeeds) to bite people...and unsuspecting dogs. Yup, I have the biter kid...I am also taking suggestions on how to break this naughty habit.</li><li>He attempts to copy what we are doing. He recently tried to whistle and snap his fingers. So darn cute!</li><li>Talking is not something he does alot of but he has recently been copying sounds that we make. So, I think once he gets this walking thing down his vocabulary will take off.</li><li>One of his favorite things to do is to ride in his wagon outside. I can already see that my summer will be filled with outdoor playtime.</li></ul><p align="left">I love watching him grow before my eyes, I only wish it would last a little longer. I can't believe he is almost officially a toddler. I guess time flies when you are having fun...and I am having the time of my life. </p><p align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cX-z66aAm1U/TzH7MebFq5I/AAAAAAAABN8/_8yL7pTAFUg/s1600/DSCF1350.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 286px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706618394598812562" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cX-z66aAm1U/TzH7MebFq5I/AAAAAAAABN8/_8yL7pTAFUg/s400/DSCF1350.JPG" /></a>I think he might actually look a tiny bit like me in this picture!</p><p align="center">I also added his <a href="http://brittanifordham.blogspot.com/2012/01/9-months.html">9 month </a>picture finally!</p>Brittanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262665184083443575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906774323412187256.post-88799494415365768012012-02-04T04:31:00.000-08:002012-02-04T04:35:46.063-08:0010 Month StatsLandon went to the Dr. yesterday and here is how he is growing. He was 19.5 lbs (25%) and 30" long (75%). His head was at 18.5" and I forgot to ask the percentile on this one. He is on target for all development. <br /><br />Today is his 10 month birthday so I will post his picture along with his 10 month post in the next few day.Brittanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262665184083443575noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906774323412187256.post-72197760055273521042012-02-02T19:03:00.000-08:002012-02-02T19:31:57.679-08:00Embrace the Camera: Music ClassAs part of Landon's Christmas we signed him up for music classes. Yes, I know this may sound silly for us to sign a 9 month old up for music classes but, they are specifically designed for children from birth to 4 years. The classes are by <a href="http://www.themusicclass.com/Center/Default.aspx?centerid=413">My First Music Discovery Class</a> and I have to say they are amazing.<br /><br />I really wanted something that Landon and I could do together since I spend alot of time at work. I cannot even begin to tell you how much he has enjoyed these classes. I have REALLY enjoyed taking him. Tomorrow is our last class but, we are certain to be back for the spring semester. <br /><br />Last week, when Grammie was in town to visit Landon she came to the class too and took pictures of us. The pictures are not fantastic because we were moving so much but, I love to see myself being a mommy. Sometimes, I am so in the moment that it's over in a flash and I feel like I missed it. So this week we are embracing the camera at music class.<br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 300px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704743322918435762" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DP2rLtVKGIo/TytR08FVu7I/AAAAAAAABNw/51jnv0eSJVE/s400/446.JPG" /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 300px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704743298233831202" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B9jkIikUtAQ/TytRzgIEjyI/AAAAAAAABNM/xB14J2xxt0U/s400/438.JPG" /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 300px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704743316309193074" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pIAvniIBNCM/TytR0jdksXI/AAAAAAAABNk/2hOSiRFbJrk/s400/453.JPG" /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 300px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704743310233797858" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aNAa3y1MLuA/TytR0M1FhOI/AAAAAAAABNY/TTwOnh5AZ1M/s400/454.JPG" /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" src="http://i54.tinypic.com/15yi6ad.jpg" /></a></center>Brittanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262665184083443575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906774323412187256.post-15189132669265186772012-01-22T18:31:00.001-08:002012-02-07T20:53:35.364-08:009 Months<div><div>Well, I have decided to go ahead and do Landon's 9 month post without his picture. I have it, I just can't get it on the computer. Soon though, soon. Here is what he has been up to though...<div> </div><ul><li>Crawling...full on hands and knees, crawling. EVERYWHERE!Pulling up on EVERYTHING!!!</li><li>He started eating table food. He loves broccoli, any kind of bread, black-eyed peas, carrots sweet potatoes and green beans. </li><li>He also started eating finger foods and loves his puffs and yogurt melts.</li><li>He also eats meat now chicken, turkey and beef...yes, I know, there were a lot of eating related milestones this month.</li><li>He is officially and fully weaned...I have to say I have mixed emotions about this,</li><li>He signs for milk and is working on his signs for eat and more. Those two are still a little confusing.</li><li>His favorite show to watch is Wheel of Fortune. I have no idea why he likes this but he is very quiet when it is on. Sesame Street is a close second.</li><li>He is learning to "pat-pat" the dogs and to clap.</li><li>If music is on his is going to be dancing well, bouncing up and down.</li><li>Size 3 diapers finally and 6-9 month clothing with some 12 months mixed in.</li><li>We had to lower the crib mattress because he kept hanging over the side rail.</li></ul><div>Oh Sweet Landon, I am so amazed at how fast you are growing. I love you more and more every day. You have the sweetest personality and I love to hear that sweet little laugh. You bring more happiness into our world than I ever could have imagined and I love watching you grow up. Even though, I secretly wish you would stay my little baby forever! I love you to the moon and back!</div></div></div><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PaZT4B0TWpM/TzH_tjHI7RI/AAAAAAAABOU/Prgh5gXNBNM/s1600/9%2Bmonths.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 286px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706623360839511314" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PaZT4B0TWpM/TzH_tjHI7RI/AAAAAAAABOU/Prgh5gXNBNM/s400/9%2Bmonths.jpg" /></a>Brittanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262665184083443575noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906774323412187256.post-5697327493321517412012-01-20T19:11:00.000-08:002012-01-20T19:13:17.807-08:00HELLO?!?Hi!

If I need to keep him entertained I can put him in the high chair with a few of these.<br /> * He has a really good army crawl and he is fast. He hasn't moved on all 4 yet except for just a few seconds.<br /> * He climbs on everything and now has to be strapped into the highchair because he has on occasion decided to stand up and turn around.<br /> * Any random object is more entertaining than any toys he may have.<br /> * He has started eating meat, but still no cereal or apples.<br /> * He is sleeping better at night now but, wakes up promptly at 7:30 each morning.<br /> * Pinching and pulling hair is pretty common if you are holding him mostly because he is trying to climb all over.<br /> * He is 100% all boy! Rough and tumble ready at any moment.<br /> * He also drinks out of a cup...like a big boy (sniff, sniff)<br /><br />And now here he is...My 8 Month Old!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g8ln7YTdcIA/Tu_q65tSVMI/AAAAAAAABLs/-LKsvGPx5yc/s1600/DSCF0948.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g8ln7YTdcIA/Tu_q65tSVMI/AAAAAAAABLs/-LKsvGPx5yc/s400/DSCF0948.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688023152036304066" /></a>Brittanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262665184083443575noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906774323412187256.post-54175707352773270142011-12-02T19:15:00.000-08:002011-12-02T19:22:44.040-08:00To whom it may concern...To whom it may concern,<div><br /></div><div>I received your very anonymous little letter in the mail the other day. It came on a day when I was certainly in need of cheering up. As you letter stated, it did in fact, brighten my day. I thank you for the $10 tucked away inside. I will use it to by myself a little Christmas treat. What a fun and mysterious way to send a smile to someone. I hope to do the same for someone else in return. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks Again (Who ever you are!)</div><div>Brittani</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Brittanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262665184083443575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906774323412187256.post-49393877698022874022011-11-18T19:46:00.000-08:002011-11-18T20:15:35.004-08:007 months<div style="text-align: center;">Yes, I know, last month I vowed to be on time with this month's post. As per usual I am several weeks late! Better late than never, right!?! Here is what the little guy has been up to...</div><div><ul><li>He is 28" long (78%) and 15lbs 13oz (10%)</li><li>He still cannot crawl but, he can definitely get where ever he wants to just by rolling and scooting.</li><li>He is eating sooo much! He has a sensitive tummy though and spits up ALL the time!</li><li>When I am feeding him his baby food and he is ready for another bite, he opens his mouth and leans forward. I think he looks like a tiny baby bird waiting for food. Oh how I love it!</li><li>There is one lone tooth in that little mouth (bottom left) it is so cute! With the one right next to it following close behind.</li><li>He is still in 3-6 month clothes around but needs 9 month pants because he is so long!</li><li>He had been having some trouble sleeping but, I think we may have gotten most of the kinks worked out. Bedtime and sleeping through the night is still a work in progress. </li><li>NOTHING gets past this guy! He is so observant, he constantly sits and watches people and looks at how things work.</li><li>He has started to get so much fuzzy white hair on top, I wish you could see it in the pictures.</li><li>He says Mama with purpose now, he clearly calls for me (I REALLY love this!)</li><li>When I come home from work he gasps with excitement when he sees me. Everyone should be greeted this way, it makes my heart happy.</li><li>If he wants you to pick him up or hold him he holds his tiny little arms up to you.</li><li>He is such a ham, he makes the funniest little faces, blows bubbles, makes silly noises and does what I call the baby whisper.</li><li>He can also recognize my parents and Presley on Skype. He gets so excited when he sees them and tries to reach and grab the screen.</li></ul><div>These past 7 months have flown by, I cannot believe in just a few short months he will be a year old. It makes me sad that it is going by so fast. I treasure every single moment with him. I want to remember everything and we are super excited for the holidays this year. </div><div><br /></div><div>And, for the Grand Finale... let me just say this was not the best 7 month picture I took. I had better ones but this one shows off his little personality so well I had to use it.</div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JvN-1G6xSfI/TscnCkhKBOI/AAAAAAAABLU/0KD9QRoQ-CU/s400/7months.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676548780439766242" /></div><div> Does anyone else think this monkey is shrinking. It sure looks like it because there is no way my baby could be this big!</div><div><br /></div><div>These pictures are getting harder to take every month. I usually have to take about 15 just to get one good one. Here are some of our out takes from this month.</div><div><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JvN-1G6xSfI/TscnCkhKBOI/AAAAAAAABLU/0KD9QRoQ-CU/s1600/7months.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gsTOHRApfac/TscnCrCtyzI/AAAAAAAABLc/DeUtUg4XnzY/s400/Picnik%2Bcollage.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676548782191135538" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 136px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div></div></div>Brittanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262665184083443575noreply@blogger.com1
