Brogun's milestones

Brogun has had a couple different milestones this past week. One wonderful and the second not so great..
First one is that we hit the immunization mark and he had to get his first series of shots. I am not sure who this is harder on, the baby who has to have these dang sharp needles put into there little legs that soon become stiff and sore. Or for mom, who is supposed to be the protector and can do nothing but hold the poor little things down. I think I bout cried as much as Brogun. I am happy to say that he did do well after. Ran a slight fever (thank goodness for baby motrin), but otherwise didn't seem to have much of an affect on him. He also weighed in at 13 lbs and is 25 inches long. Putting him in the 56th percentile for weight and 92nd percentile for length. Dr. Jackson said he is on the road to being a big boy. And his motor skills are at a 4 month level. (yes I am bragging)
Now for the wonderful milestone...Brogun has been sleeping thru the night for the last week. YEAH!!!! Goes to sleep about 10:30ish and wakes up around 7:30. I am still not sleeping all thru the night being the nervous mom that wakes to check him at least 5 times a night. I am so happy that I have such an easy and happy little man. I just keep wondering if this is the "calm before the storm". Terrible two's might have me eating my words. But for now I am bragging and enjoying every minute of him. It goes way too fast.
The realization of that is hitting me now that Sienna is at the end of her 5th grade school year and about to turn 11 and enter into middle school. YICKS!! Where has the time gone? Derrick and I must be crazy having a newborn and a pre-teen. We will enjoy the quiet time for now, before the boyfriends and hormones really start knocking on the door. The girl is already our drama queen can't imagine what the next several years have to offer. Possibly duck tape and bolted doors! Just kidding.. or am I?

Mission Reunion

We had the opportunity a couple of weeks ago to travel to Salt Lake to attend Derricks mission reunion. It was so much fun to meet some of his companions and hear about experiences that he had. The highlight of the evening was to meet and visit with Derricks mission President Kevin Pearson who is now Elder Kevin Pearson of the seventy. It was such an amazing and spiritual experience. He also spoke in Sunday afternoons general conference. We were hoping to be home by then to watch, but the truck decided to loose 5 of our 8 lug nuts just outside of Gunnison. We were so fortunate to not be on the freeway at 80 miles an hour. So thank goodness Derricks parents came to rescue us and we had to have the truck towed to Richfield.. needless to say it was an eventful weekend.

Sleepy Time With Dad

There is nothing sweeter then your new baby and daddy taking a nap together. Brogun quickly falls fast asleep everytime he cuddles up with dad. He is such the little Derrick as everyone can see, but mom is determined that "MOM" will be his first word!

Baby Boy Bath Time

Brogun has finally decided that bath time is fun. He especially likes the BIG bath and not the baby tub that he has almost out grown already. I forgot how fast these little ones grow.
