:: 2 Months ::

WOW Brogan is already 2 months old! I can't believe how fast time has gone! He has grown and changed so much in the last month alone. Now he has almost total head control, and is starting to giggle! He's giggled twice once on Easter and once at the doctors yesterday. Its SO cute! He's really starting to "talk" a lot more he's experimenting with so many different sounds. Not just coo's anymore he makes scratchy noises, and coo's and gurgles. Its so neat watching him learn how to communicate with people. He's sleeping through the night most nights, although he has the nights where he will wake up and stay up at 4 until i leave for work, which make for LONG days! REALLY long days. I have been back to work for 3 weeks now. It is so hard to leave my baby at home, but he stays about half the week with my mom, and the other half with Kathy the babysitter. She does SUCH a good job and is just in love with him! What more could I ask for?

Brogan went to the doctor yesterday. His new stats are 11lbs 13 ounces, his head is 41 cms and his length was about a half inch longer than last month. (I have a hunch thats not very accurate though) Brogan now almost wraps around me he is so getting so long. :)

I'll post pictures on here in a few days, His professional ones should be here by Saturday!

Easter

Easter was so special this year. Buddy came home!!!! We missed him so much even though he was only gone for a week. Brogan and I had semi matching outfits too! "Auntie" Michelle bought Brogans for him when we were in CO. So we went to church with my entire family, including Chelsea who came home from Lansing with her boyfriend for the weekend. Then we scurried over to go to church with Buddy's family, and ate dinner over there. Brogan loved his easter presents, his NEW SOCKS because his feet are so big (9 month socks) from grandma Alyce and new easter bib that he wore all day that said "My first Easter egg hunt" I also got in the easter basket with all the eggs after uncle Calebs easter egg hunt and posed for some pictures with all the colorful eggs! I loved them!

State Weekend

What a long weekend. Brogan and me went with Buddy and his family to the Wrestling state championships to watch uncle Caleb wrestle! It made for a long couple of days. Once we had enough wrestling we went over to watch Aunt Morgann in her state hockey tournament that was also in Detroit that weekend! Brogan slept through pretty much all of it though. He was all snuggly warm in his cute snowsuit! What a fun weekend!

:: Leaving on a Jet Plane :

"Your brave" and "good luck" were two phrases I heard a lot , but we made it to Colorado safe and sound!!








Traveling with an infant is not as easy as I thought it airport!! Everyone on the plane was helpful too!! We got upgraded to first class for free because the seats were empty, so we had an extra large comfy seat for each of us!! But mostly cuddled on the plane ride. Getting through the airport was a lot harder than the actual plane ride although being able to check the stroller and carseat at the gate was SO helpful, along with Buddy bringing us in. All the people were so nice. The flight attendant took time to take a picture of us! Brogan was so good on his first plane ride!!!




When we got to Colorado, Michelle came to pick us up. Abby also met us there to see the baby!! We visited for a little bit, after mom figured out how to get on the tram to get her baggage (Thanks to some helpful people in the terminal)
Then we left to see the beautiful mountains on the way home!


On Saturday it was 75 and sunny. We went shopping at an outlet mall in Castle Rock, and in Denver on 16th street at an outdoor mall. While we were there we stopped and ate at the Cheese Cake factory! It was really good, and got an easter outfit for Brogan. It was our first outside walk in the stroller and Brogan loved it!!










The next day when we woke up it was time to go home. It also had plummeted from 75 to 25 degrees and was snowing, they got about 7 inches. When we finally got on the plane to take off we ended up sitting on the run way for 2 hours waiting for clearance and then for out plane to get de-iced. When we finally got in the air we were going pretty fast till we found out there was a strong thunderstorm in Whichita, KS where we were making out connecting flight to Chicago. By the time we finally landed... after being hit by lightening and having to circle a million times, it was 6:30 and our other flight was supposed to leave at 5:50 so we thought we missed it. Actually though that plane wasn't even able to land at the airport so we had to wait another 2 hours for it to come and didn't leave Whichita until 9. I thought our troubles were over then we got to the luggage carousel, and nothing came out.... They lost our entire flights luggage SOMEwhere in the airport that they "couldnt get to" We didn't get out of there until 1 in the morning when they found our luggage. We had to wait because the carseat base was inside mine and couldn't leave until they found it.

All in all it was a greattt trip and Brogan took it so well. Although i don't think we'll be doing it again anytime soon.
