Three Months!

Bryson is three months old today! I'm way behind on uploading photos, so I'll upload Halloween, etc soon!

Milestones:

* still sleeping from about 9:30/10pm to about 6:30/7am.

* better head control

* you love to stand!

* you started using your jumperoo and you like to stomp your legs while 'jumping'

* you are now wearing size 3-6 month in onesies and one piece outfits

* you are drinking about 4-6 oz now per feeding- you still love your food, and hate to burp!

* you've started drooling more, thus you've been wearing more bibs.

* you had your 1st ear infection last week :(

* at your ear infection doctors appt, you weighed 14 lbs 3 oz!!!! You are a big boy!

* you wear size 2 diapers

* you love to smile at those around you, and everyone eats it up!

* you sleep in your crib every night now

* I found this mobile at a garage sale- you love it!

Diapers!

Walgreens is running a decent sale on Huggies diapers right now. Here's how I used the coupons I had to walk out with some pretty cheap diapers:

4 packages of Huggies diapers- $8.99 each
- $5/25 purchase coupon in this weeks ad
- 2 $3/1 Huggies diapers coupons I received in the mail
- 2 $2/1 printable Huggies diapers coupons
= $20.96, or $5.24 per package

THEN- if I send in the Caregivers Marketplace rebate
- 4 x $0.75 a package

= $4.49 for a package of diapers!!

We have been crazy busy lately, but I'm loving it! I have alot of photos I need to upload, but I've just been enjoying our time at home together as a family. I'll eventually get them up.

Also, we're getting geared up for the 3rd annual Friendsgiving celebration- I can't wait!

Target deals

I went to Target this morning at 8am (Bryson didn't get the memo about the time change) for the post-Halloween deals. I noticed that Kelloggs cereal was on sale- and I scored big! Here's what I did:

Buy 3 boxes, get 1 free
4 x 2.66= $10.64
-$2.66 (free box)
- 4 $1/1 Kelloggs cereal target printable coupons
- $1.50/3 Kelloggs printable coupon from their website
= $2.48, which comes to $0.62 a box!!!!

Since our school colors are orange and black, I always stock up on the Halloween cups/plates- they are great for tailgating!

Fall Catch-Up

Football season is in full swing; thus, we have a very busy fall! I love this time of the year though.
Last weekend, we went to OSU's homecoming. The house decks didn't seem to 'wow' me as they have in years past, but it was sure nice to be in Stillwater and participate in Walk-Around. This was my favorite one- can you believe all this is done with chicken wire and tissue paper?!?!

Every year, we have our photo taken at Theta pond- it never turns out as well as I would like, but we still attempt it every year!

In Bryson news, he loves to sit up now- he sat like this for over 30 minutes last weekend! It was just too cute!

And here's our little pumpkin- we took him to Pumpkin Town, which is something Brandon and I have done since we moved back to town. It was different this year to take a baby with us!! I can't wait til he's a little older and can participate a little more, but we still had a good time.

In Leia news: she has adjusted to Bryson! She isn't scared of him anymore and she enjoys giving him kisses from time to time :)

Two Months

Bryson is now two months old!

Milestones from this month:

* He sleeps from 10pm to at least 6am (sometimes as late as 7:30am) every night!

* He weighs over 13 lbs

* I'll know his length after his 2 month check up- my guess is 24 inches

* He is such a little ham- he smiles at everyone!

* He can roll over from his tummy to his back, but only to the right. He's done it on 7 occasions now!

* He spent the 1st over-night away from us, with MiMi and Grand-daddy

* He really seems to enjoy preschool/daycare. He loves to watch his friends crawl around.

* He now wears size 2 diapers, 0-3 month pants and shirts

* The 0-3 month onesies are getting to be a little snug- Bryson's just too long!

We are so blessed to have such a sweet baby!

Today

My 11:30 patient cancelled today, so I seized the chance to go to the grocery store and coupon! Homeland has some pretty good deals this week- so I decided to go there. Here's how I did:

Total spent: $24.37
Total saved: $29.66 (54%)

free deodorant- dove and degree
$1 Honey Nut Cheerios
$0.97 Pace Salsa
free colgate toothpaste
parchment paper (for holiday baking)

My total was a little high due to the fact I bought velveeta, chips and a balloon for one of my patients birthday's :) Overall, I was really pleased with my trip. It was nice to go to the grocery store by myself and to not feel the need to rush.

Time flies....

Time really seems to be flying by right now!

I started back to work last week, thus, Bryson started his 1st week at church preschool. I took these photos at the 6 wk, 1 day mark- his 1st day at 'school'.

During week 6, Bryson started to sleep even longer- on two occasions he slept til 7:15am!! He's also become quite the little ham. My friend Kristen got married this weekend, and I was a bridesmaid in her wedding, so we had quite the weekend. I was so happy that Bryson was well behaved- he even stayed awake for the wedding and reception!

Kristen is one of our last friends to get married; Brandon and I are definitely starting to feel older. For a long while we were in the 'wedding/wedding shower' stage of life, and now we have transitioned to the 'baby shower' and 'early bedtime' stage of life.

Several of our friends are moving away though, and it feels like graduating from college all over again. It's not as easy to make friends now- we're so busy with Mr. Bryson and just life in general. It makes you really appreciate the friends you have!!
