Catching up

I have to play catch up due to my nearly insensitive lack of blogging lately. My apologizes to Amy, Holly, and Brad :)

Our son was finally blessed! We had scheduled his blessing for February 3rd but as you can all remember, it snowed so bad that day that church was canceled. So we had to wait until March 9th when he was finally given a wonderful blessing. The whole time during the blessing I was bouncing my legs as if he was sitting on them in some odd attempt to keep him from crying. My Dad told me he was watching Brynner through the blessing and he was just fine looking around at everyone. I was really relieved. I admit I have an irrational fear of Brynner crying in public and me not being able to console him. Odd, I know. To this day I still have a hard time going grocery shopping, for example, without Brad. It's not that Brad can magically stop the crying, I just feel better with him there. We unfortunately didn't get a get a ton of pictures of Brynner in his blessing outfit because he was so sweaty and uncomfortable that we promptly changed him not long after we got home. We did get a few..none of Brad and I, but here is one with my Mom. She is the one that made the adorable outfit. I had her make it out of the train of my wedding dress. It really means something special to me to know Brynner and I shared two of the most important days of our lives wearing essentially the same thing. With that said, please do not tease my son that he wears girls clothes...appreciate it. I had to ship the material to Arizona where my Mom made it in just three days. Thank you Mom, you're the best!

The Easter Bunny also made an appearance at our house as he did undoubtedly to yours. For some reason Brynner was given things like a kite, candy and other ridiculous things such as a book and movie which he cannot (or should not, rather)enjoy yet. Don't be concerned, Brad and I discussed it and will play, eat, read, and watch his things until he comes of age.


As far as things that have changed with Brynner. Last night he slept 8 hours straight! Do you know how exciting that was?? So why couldn't I enjoy it?! I woke up countless times from 3:00 to 6:00 and had to go check on him to make sure he was ok. Man, I'm beginning to sound like...oh I know...a first time parent! This is huge if he keeps this up, I'm so proud of him!

Another very important thing he started doing last week was going phhhhhww. I have no clue how to spell it but it just might be easier to show you on video. I dare you to spell it. No I triple dog dare you. That's how long I pondered on the spelling of this rather adorable new trick.
