Standing up by himself...daddy there waiting for the fall!

Old CRAZY people we live by....

It's not the best picture. I will get a better one tonight. Right now they are sitting on their back porch and I think it would be a bit weird to go out and snap a picture while they watched me. So I took this from my dinning room window. If you read my other post you know what's going on. They took down those ridicious boards and added the lattice on only 3 sections. It would actually look nice if they continued it around the rest of the fence. Right now it looks dumb because it looks undone! Oh, well! I hope this blows over soon. They are still ignoring us and when they drive by our house they go super slow and glare! Just silly!

BRADY HAS A TOOTH!

(He's eating a popsicle out of his "safety" holder thingy)

I was on the phone with my mom and telling her that he is so GRUMPY and she said maybe he has a tooth. So I looked and guess what? HE HAS A TOOTH! Finally at 9 months he decides to pop one out! I am so excited :) Hopefully, the rest will follow soon. Well, that's my BIG news for the week.

Messy Boy!

This is what JELL-O and Top Ramen looks like on a 9 month old :) We will NOT be doing this again. Only ONE messy thing at a time. (You would of thought I would have learned by now...but it's been 3 years since I've had such a little baby I've forgotten things :)

MY POOR SICK BOY!

:( He doesn't feel good. We are on our second round of anitbiotics. The doctor explained everything to me yesterday in regards to why he keeps getting so sick with pneumonia and bronchitis as this is his third time with it since right after Christmas. It starts as the common cold and because he was premature so are his lungs and they can't handle the cold so what happens is the cold turns into worse really fast. He is on his antibiotic which is a combination of two different medicines, 3 different breathing medicines through the nebulizer and of course tylenol and motrin for pain. It is so sad to see him sick. He is such a trooper and even will smile for me. He is also being such a big boy sleeping in his crib for all naps and bedtime even though he feels so bad. He is not allowed around the church nursery for 2 months after all symptoms are gone and we have to take some precauctions when we go out in public. Here are his stats :) he weighs 21lbs and 6 ozs, he is 29 3/4" tall and his head is 17 3/4"!!! He is such a BIG Mamma's BOY :)

We are leaving to the other side of the mountians tomorrow morning for some shopping :) and Easter and to spend some time with family and friends. Brandon will meet us over there friday night! We can't wait to see the older girls as it has been a week in a half since they went home with the grandparents.

C*R*A*Z*Y Neighbors!

So for those of you who don't know we live between 2 "older couples" they are retired and one of the couples is soooooooooo GRUMPY! They are (were) friends and bought in our development because of the nice rambler floor plans. Last summer as we were coming and going the girls would always wave to our neighbors and say on our right since their back yard butts up against our side yard. They would always totally ignore them and not ever say hi to me or the girls EVER. They did however, talk to Brandon and when we were deciding what fence to but up Brandon went to talk to them. They were not willing to entertain any of our ideas and went ahead and built a horrible fence (not only building below the 6 foot line but they used horrible boards). Now, the other couple did take our thoughts of a fence to heart and went with the same one we would do. They built theirs last fall and built it 6 foot above grade where as the other couples ended up being 6" or more shorter than what we needed it to be to be able for our fence to attach and look nice. So Brandon just built ours right up by theirs. Well, they are NOT happy!!! Here are some pictures of what our neighbor did because our fence ended up being a little higher that his!

The other couple is so sweet and assured us that he can get mean sometimes. They are shaking their heads and now the grumpy old man won't have anything to do with the nice couple since he was helping Brandon some last week. I actually found it funny that he went out bought a few boards and nailed them up to make some point. We are having a great time killing him with kindness. I mean, really what else can you really do. But we aren't frustrated like he is hoping we would be! I think it is sad. Hopefully, one day soon this will all blow over.
