Brecken's Field Trip


 Mr. Breck here went to the Fire station for a preschool field trip in November.  He loved being able to climb up on the truck and get his picture by it.  He doesn't want to be a fireman, because he doesn't want to deal with fire, but he still thinks they are pretty cool.

Landon's 1st month.

Landon is another spitter…enough said.  With the spitting comes gas and belly issues.  When we go in for the 2 month check up will see about reflex.  I know he has it all my babies do, but not much can be done about it.  We have him sleep inclined and that has helped with night time a little.  He still spits, but he doesn't drowned in it, and choke on it every night.  He has a little nose just like Shaylee, and Brecken did.  I know it's to early to tell, but his eyes should be blue, they look blue already.  He loves the noise of dryers, fans, and water.  He loves laying by the fire, and being in the warm bath.  He sleeps pretty good for a month old.  We get a good stretch out of him the first go around.  We put him to bed about 9:00, and he wakes up around 3-4.  Sometimes 2.  Then he starts to get gassy, and grunts and make noise, but still sleeps around 5 or 6.  I usually feed him again between 6-7:30.  Don't get me wrong, some nights aren't always that great.  Last night he had a horrible night, and was grunting from like 11 on all night long.  He woke up at 12:30, and then 2 more times, plus spitting, pooping, and making all sorts of noises….it was his worse night to date.  Yuck.  Over all though I can't complain to much.  He eats every 3 hours, and has figured out he usually gets feed when he is waking from a nap or sleep, so if he doesn't eat right when he wakes up he gets really mad fast.  I think I got a couple smiles out of him around 5 weeks so a little after his month mark, but have yet to get another one.  All the kids love him, but don't care for his crying so much.  Brecken has adjusted well to a new baby, and does well in taking matters into his own hands when mom can't help him out right away.  He has a chair he pushes around the house to get what he needs.  He can make himself lunch, he gets himself drinks, and all sorts of snacks, and goodness while I'm feeding.  He is a good boy though, and he loves his new little brother.  He is a big helper and hates to hear Landon cry.  He runs, and finds blankets, burp rags, and Binky's when Landon is upset.
