This little guy has been giving me some looks as of lately and I happen to capture a few of them when he got stuck in the bucket and was getting a little worked up over it. All I could do is laugh and take a picture. And this is the look I got!
You can't tell it but he's giving me what for in this picture.
And I think he finally decided that he might as well read a book while he was there and thought he'd give me one more "are you enjoying this" look. And yes, yes I was. Still laughing. Oh, if looks could talk.
Then he ignored me. Shortly after the door bell rang and I left him there to go see who it was and guess who was able to get unstuck and come see who was at the door. :0)
Oh this toy. It was the cause of Bricen's first public meltdown. I had already decided we would get the toy. He pushed it all through Baby's R Us. I'm sure I was the absolute favorite customer that day. And before we left I had to use the restroom and the toy had to stay outside in the cart. And there's your meltdown. In the handicap stall, I'm trying to use the restroom and keep him from making a dash under the stall and he's still screaming crying. We get that accomplished and I decide I'm not going to give it back because that's just asking for trouble when it has to be scanned and he has to get in the car. Continue meltdown. Marty called during all this and with concern in his voice he asked what was wrong with Bricen. Oh, that's just your son, having his first public meltdown. Daddy thought this was hilarious. I did too. I mean what can you do but laugh sometimes. Meltdown continued until we got in the car and the toy was across his lap. Don't judge me. I did not want the crying to continue and a throw up happen while I was driving. Hind sight and rookie mom move # 4,172 would it have been soo bad for the toy to go in the bathroom? No. What was I going to do? stick it down my shirt and steal it? Right. And I'll say this. There are parents out there that would give anything for their kid to have the mindset and ability to throw a fit. So yes, even this I am thankful for.
He also got a lawnmower to push like daddy while he mowed our yard and then we took dinner out to Grandma Delpha's so Marty could mow her yard. I do love my hard working husband. There are not to many men that would work all day and then mow two yards that evening.
Guess who wanted nothing to do with the lawnmower. This guy, Mr. Big Stuff. Coolest kid I know. :0)
Now, at home I will say he is not spoiled but loved a lot by two rookie parents. At Aunt Bri's, as he pushes the drawer that he pulled out from the fridge around the living room like a car, I'd say he just might be spoiled.
Finally big enough to sit on this thing.
Look how big he looks in this picture! I forgot to add at the previous dev peds visit he was almost 18 lbs! I feel the need to preface my hideous vent in the background. I got a hair up my butt. That pretty much sums it up. We needed to change the vent. Pretty much was going to need to order the right size. I wanted to rearrange my living room so the hole was going to be visible and so I went to Wal Mart and got the wrong size and insisted we put it up. Now to change it out we would need to spakle (I think that's what it's called) and paint. So, now I have this hideous vent. The end. :0)
My little Mister is needing a hair cut so I tried a comb over before we went to meet daddy at the eye Dr to help pick out glasses for him. I think it's pretty adorable.
Brilynn and Brett got a hold of my phone. Brett has been our little sidekick lately. He is such a good little helper. Brilynn started dating Heeeenry (and I say this in my best grade school teasing voice). But now Brett has a girlfriend too. Too fast. They grow up too fast!
And my oldest niece.
Getting married in July, a sophomore at U Indy in the nursing program and more drive and determination than anyone else I can think of. She had a grand mal seizure last Saturday in the middle of Mc Donalds while on the way to some country concert with her sister, Heeeenry and another couple. She has medical problems but has never had a grand mal seizure before. She is getting a full body work up and I pray we can get to the bottom of this and I ask that you all do the same. Love her more than I could ever express to her and I'm already so proud of the young lady she has become. It was tough for Brilynn to witness. I can remember my sister with cerebral palsy having seizures and even as a nurse it's never something that is easy to watch. I also ask for prayers for my sister. I'm really not sure how she holds herself together at times. And I often wonder who she gets to lean on but then I remember she has our Lord. I know it's hard not to wonder where God is at when things are rough but I have to believe that he's there carrying us through those times and how much harder would it be without his grace?
