Big E Milestones

Here are just a few pics to show what Big E is doing these days...

Just call me tri-pod. He is sitting up on his own now. Not forever, but long enough to grab onto things. Also he wore is first baseball style cap...and I must say that he is the cutest baby EVER!!!!






So in these two he is in love with his jump-a-roo. He thinks he is big stuff in it. He loves to push himself up and down. And yes if your thinking it it is happening...Caiden loves to "help" brother bounce in it and they get a little out of control! That is when parent monitoring comes in handy!




Were Back...


So we have been so BUSY!!! Talk about crazy times...no one warned me that moving with two kids under the age of 3 was not the most sensible thing to do. But as my dad would say, sometimes I have to learn the hard way. So just a warning to all you parents out there and the soon-to-be parents...DON'T DO IT IF YOU CAN AVOID IT!

I just want my "normal" life back. Living out of boxes is not my cup of tea. Thank GOD for Gma and Gpa Odle coming up to save the Brown's from decorating "new moved in" style (for those of you confused that means nothing was done). So enough about all of that, now on to what we have been up to. Let's let the pics tell the story.


So the first nice day out and we went for a walk...you all should have gotten or will be getting the pic of the two boys...Big E is wearing his new kicks that Aunt Tiffy got him. Let's just say he wasn't quite sure of them, he had to beat them against the stroller for awhile and then that tired him out and he fell asleep.



So this is our WT moment...don't kid yourself we all have them. We are in Wal-Mart at the we hours of the night, hence the reason why my kid is in his pj's, and Caiden wanted to try on every color of batting helmet on the shelf. He settled for the red one and while he wasn't looking during our crazy shopping extravaganza I put it on a random shelf. Can you believe he never missed it?


So the next set of pics are from Big E's dedication at church. It was so nice to have all the family that showed up there.


I did not say make a funny face before I took the pic...totally unplanned on my part at least...they must have discussed it ahead of time!

Gma and Gpa Odle with their 2 favorite great-grandsons :)



That same Sunday we celebrated John's 31st b-day. Yes i didn't make an error, 31st b-day. Big E got his first taste of ice cream from Gpa Odle. Isn't it funny how I would have never let Caiden have that at 6 months but with the 2nd your like sure as long as he doesn't choke!?


So this would be feeding time...Caiden is a great big brother. He love to help take care of brother or baby as he like to call him.
We are so blessed with all that is taking place. the boys are doing great and John and I like each other again with most of the stress gone. Love was always there but liking not so much! We close on both houses this Friday so wish us luck!
