A 9 week Brandon

I told myself that I would get better at keeping you all updated on Brandon! So here I am, trying to keep my promise :)  

Well Brandon is officially 10 weeks as of now, but I usually am a week behind, so this will be his 9 week update!  Let's see, well last week was my second week of work and I feel like I have mastered the hard part of it.  Which was getting ready!  After my 1st week back to work I realized that the best way to cut my time and stress down when it comes to getting ready is to do it before Josh leaves for work.  Ya, it is 5 hours before I have to be at work, but it's nice to get ready and not have to worry about Brandon.  I can take a shower, do my makeup, and pack the last minute things for him.  I usually get his bag packed and ready to go the night before, but I usually have Josh double check it because he always accuses me of not packing enough stuff!  Between the both of us he seems to be the one who is organized!  It's funny, because before I was pregnant it was the other way around.  I think that the pregnancy brain and now Mom brain has definitely gotten the best of me!

So, twice a week my Mom is in charge of the little guy and once a week he will go to my sisters.  He's been adjusting very well with his new surroundings as well as being away from me.  I've realized lately that since he's being watched by people other than Josh and I, his crying has cut down dramatically!  I'm not sure why, but Josh and I have felt so much more at ease!  He also has been sleeping a lot better through the night, especially when he's over at my sisters house!!  I think that being over there with his 3 cousins, he is more stimulated which gets him very tired... Which makes me so happy in so many ways! I love that he will grow up with cousins who are funny, smart, and loving!   he is also learning early social skills, and evrn though he's not able to physically play with them yet, he loves to listen and watch them play!  Josh always tells me how sad Piper, Skyler, and Prue are whenever he picks up Brandon!  There's not a better feeling in the world than knowing that your little one is good hands when you're not there!  Josh and I are truly blessed to have such an amazing family!

Brandon's Milestone

He still loves to smile and talk!

His eye sight is getting a lot better!  He is able to see things further away!

He loves his hands.  He is discovering his face and head.  Thank god he hasn't wolverined himself too bad!

His cheeks are starting to sag due to his chubness!

He is forming fat lines in his arms and inner thighs!
