5 Months Old!



Brennan turned 5 months old today. My how time flies. I feel like this last month went by in a blink, but I also feel I was able to enjoy it! Brennan is one of the happiest babies you'll ever meet. I know I just said that, but it's oh so true. He brings us so much joy. When I think back to finding out I was pregnant... again... so soon after Tristan, and I remember how frustrated I was, I feel like a total idiot. Now I just feel blessed :) Here's my chunky monkey in his 6mos clothes today! He is getting so good with his hands, but still is not interested in cereal. He holds it in his mouth until it turns into more drool and then just smiles until it all oozes out onto his bib. Either that or he accidentally swallows some and it makes him gag while he's smiling hahaha. He's so crazy! I am not worried about it. He doesn't like the texture and I don't blame him. I am going to keep trying every day though because he never gets angry and it's going better than it used to so he must be adapting. In time in time... one thing I finally learned is that you don't have to rush kids into achieving milestones. They'll get there when they get there.





I can't believe how much hair he's lost! It's already starting to grow back... and a bit lighter than before. I don't think he'll be another blond like Tristan though. Look at how much hair he used to have!



Brennan loves tummy time and can pull himself up to sitting from reclined in most of his baby apparatus (the swing, the bouncy seat, the boppy). No more unattended bed-laying for Bren! Any day now he's going to figure out how to flip from back to front. He wakes himself up at night sometimes when he flips from front to back. It's only a matter of time. We have strong baby boys :)



OK and now for the comparison pictures ;) I just gotta!

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl

Victim Triangle

Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on  establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries  so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken. https://www.karpmandramatriangle.com/ The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected
