Just because i want to...

Practicing our spelling in the tub!
It was exciting!!! :)

With Mommy on Daddy's birthday.

Halloween Peanut!

Peanut was Jacque the Peacock for Halloween. Got the idea after trying to figure out what he should be and not finding anything that I really really liked. then I saw Jacque sitting on the floor... I had to give it a shot! :)

Walk for Hope

Our first 5k! The Walk for Hope (to fight women's cancers) the girls didn't make it too far (maybe a mile before they got a ride the rest of the way) But Peanut was such a good boy and seemed to enjoy the ride! :) We walked with some AKPsi friends of ours and had a bunch of fun. I think this needs to be a yearly thing! :) next year I think we need to dress up... theme suggestions for the walk are appreciated! :)

Pumpkin Patch!

Peanut (aka Troy Alexander Bromund) and Liam (aka William Franklin Van Duine) The April 9th birthday boys! :)

Peanut's recent trip to the pumpkin patch was a success! :) he was such a trooper and enjoyed the whole trip! 2 hrs and not a single unhappy peep! (with the exception of trying to set him down in the back of the truck for pictures... something must have been uncomfortable because he was fine being set down on the side of the truck) anyhoo, it was a bunch of fun! And peanut finally got to meet his birthday twin Liam. (yes, we have friends that had a baby on the same day!) very exciting and so wonderful to see them (it has been much too long!)

Peanut's First Wedding!

Tooth number one is in there!!!

It was too pretty not to take a picture of :)

Mmmmm...cake!

Our friend Jessie got married on the 16th in a beautiful Catholic ceremony. Peanut was a champ through the services although he wanted to chat so we spent most of the time in the nursery. :) At the reception we noticed his first tooth!! such a big boy!!! :D

Teddy Bear

So my mom sent me a text over the weekend saying she found a big teddy bear for Peanut, I was excited to see this teddy that she was oh so excited about. Mom said he was huge and I thought about a fairly large stuffed bear, but nothing prepared me for what walked through my door Monday morning...

That is a HUGE freaking bear!

:)

Chillin in his crib, the 10pm mobile show is awesome!

A boy and his bear fixating on the mobile (he was a sleepy little Peanut)

Thank you for the awesome bear Mom (Gramma)!!! :)

3 months!

You can never go wrong with a plain white onesie.

Our beautiful baby boy.

Our little Peanut is 3 months old! A quarter of a year, its crazy! But I feel that we have been taking in every moment of it...let hope we stay so patient. :) He is such a happy and smiley baby, we are so lucky he was brought into our lives! :)

Fathers Day!

Peanut and his Daddy...such a wonderful father, couldn't ask for anything more! :)

All the boys on fathers day. We had a nice lunch at Outback (its not easy to make all these guys happy....but you can't go wrong with meat and fries can you!?!? no you can't)

Peanut is such a good boy when we go out (knock on wood) lets hope it continues! :)

Does that look like two giant doughnuts stacked on top of each other to make a cake? yes... yes it is... (forgot to take a picture before we destroyed the table at lunch and busted into it) and it kinda looks icky with the filling oozing out but OH MY GOD... it was WAY too good. I mean I knew it was going to be tasty...had no idea it was going to be THAT tasty! :)

The little Peanut that made it all happen. :)

Tricky Thumb

Focused on sucking that thumb.

So close!

Lets see if the other hand will help...get in there thumb!

Awell...Ill get the hang of it soon enough, i should show off this smile of mine in the mean time!

Duckies

We decide to try out bath time with all our rubber duckies...not too exciting, we'll try it again in the future when the ducks learn to stay right side up :)

Ready for the lake!

We went to Gymboree (our favorite clothing store) Saturday and picked up some swim gear.

Practicing floating on his back... practices in the bath tub too, he's pretty good! :) now just to wait for summer...

Bath Fun! :)

We had a very enjoyable bath a couple of days ago and daddy snapped a bunch of pictures...Bath time is so much fun for all of us now! :) And just look at that cute little face... he certainly isn't our newborn anymore! :)

2 Months!

Such a laid back little guy :)

The best little cuddle bug ever. (and the cutest little 2 month old ever as well!)

Rollin Rollin Rollin

I Rolled Over!!!

Whoa...it actually worked...

Chillin on his back...post roll.

(He was centered on his tummy time surfboard before the big event!)

So we were having our daily tummy time break and weren't enjoying it too much. Lots of crying! But our little peanut had pulled his left arm under his chest and at first I thought I had accidentally set him down like that and he couldn't get it out... So Andrew and I decided to pull his arm back out, to which he immediately pulled it back in under his chest. Then we saw his right leg start kicking and pushing off the ground and he starts moving to his side. (He is still fussing and crying but he seems very focused so I let him be... and cheered the little man on of course!) and before you know it he pushes that long little leg of his into the ground and bam he is on his back and he goes silent! And then we start cheering of course! It was pretty exciting to see him really roll over and do it with such perseverance, he did NOT want to be on his belly at that time and by golly he wasn't going to be! :)

Bouncer!

I got a new bouncer!!! check out my monkeys!!!

You know you're jealous...

cause I got a new bouncer!!! :D

We made a huge step with this bouncer... he has never actually enjoyed sitting down and having time to himself. Just last weekend he started to notice toys of his and we decided it was time to get the little peanut a bouncer (or at least something with fun stuff that hangs over his head). We decided on a bouncer...so happy that it makes him so happy! :)
