So maybe once a week was a little ambitious. Unfortunately my camera is dead (and I have yet to charge it), so no new pictures :( Well, here's what we've been up to...
I officially started my business Scrap n' Sassy. I have been to one school so far, and am planning on going to a few others. I also have set up a carnival to sell at. Slowly but surely the word will get out, and I'll get busier. For now, I like this once every few weeks thing, because it is my hobby... not job. If it becomes a job, it won't be fun anymore.
Zach goes out of town every now and then, and many of you know that when Zach is gone I usually head to Kingwood complete with a Tahoe filled with diapers, dog, Braeden, strollers, suitcases, toys, etc... all for a night, maybe 2! Well, NO MORE...I'm a big girl, so it's time to start acting like one. Not going to lie, the first few times were hard, but it seems to be a lot easier each time. Braeden has a hard time when Daddy is gone, but now he just always tells me "Daddy work", and he doesn't freak out when Zach isn't home to put him in bed.
Braeden seems to be learning new things DAILY. Here's what he's been doing the last month:
He figured out how to climb into the kitchen chair, and one day got in it while I was making him lunch. So, no more high chair, and we skipped the booster seat. B is a big boy now!
He is also VERY interested in this whole potty thing. I know this sounds weird, but I do NOT encourage it. However, he is very persistent, so I finally bought a little potty for him to try out. I let him go occassionally and everytime he goes "pee pee in the potty." Once we get back from our trip to Mexico in April, I will go a little more full force in this department. What's really funny is that when he is done going "potty", he grabs some toilet paper and fake blows his nose and flushes it down the toilet... just like his Daddy. It is hilarious!
Braeden is in love with the new sport of the season (and Zach's favorite), baseball. He got a baseball tee set for his first birthday last May, but wasn't quite ready (i.e, I was not ready for broken things and dents in the wall). Well, I finally took it out and set it up in the backyard. He LOVED hitting the ball off of the tee, but it was not enough for him. He wanted to hit the ball out of the air, and he did! Only now that's the only way he'll play, and he will follow you around the house dragging his bat and carrying the ball, waiting for me to play baseball. Can get annoying, but is oh-so cute...especially when he puts his arms out and tells me "hug". How could I resist?! He definitely has a knack for sports, so we'll see where he goes with it. My bets are on a future shortstop. Probably not going to be tall enough to follow in the family position of pitcher, but who knows.
His newest "trick" is climbing on top of the table. Today I was making him a "cheese" aka, grilled cheese sandwich aka, the everyday lunch. I had turned on the Fresh Beat Band to keep him entertained while I was fixing lunch. I look over after a few minutes, and Mr. B had stood up in the chair and was marching along with the show, so cute....but SO unsafe. So I told him to sit down and went back to sandwich making. Not even a minute later, I turn around and now he is not only standing, but he is standing on top of the TABLE! He thought he was so funny...ahh little boys :)
That's about it for now. Zach is turning 30 this Saturday, so check back soon for an update on how that all goes. I promise to post some pics soon.
Goodnight!
