It's been a while!!!

The last time I posted anything, Brannan & Greyson were only 4 months old ~ FOUR ~ now they are approaching 9 months old ~ NINE. That means I've neglected the blog for 5 months but never have I neglected them.

Both have infectious smiles that will melt your heart and each have their own little personality. They will place their arms above their head in hopes of being picked up, both repeatedly say "da-da" even though they may not understand, and both are adored by their parents.

Brannan weighs about 16 lbs 8 oz, sleeps all night long (9:00 pm - 7:00 am), still takes 4 bottles per day and eats baby food 3 times per day. He will sit for hours entertaining himself (his Daddy was that way, I've heard) and absolutely loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Greyson weighs about 18 lbs, sleeps all night long (8:30 pm - 5:30 am), takes 4 bottles per day and eats baby food 3 times per day as well. He does not sit long at all anymore ~ he's been crawling for about a week and got his two bottom teeth at about 6 months.

If only I knew what Brannan was saying to Greyson!!!

The sweetest little hands I love

Mother's Day 2011

I AM BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE
