Schrammsberg Estate Wedding

Ryan's cousin Galen got married on Saturday and we had such a blast. It took place at a secluded seven acre estate in Nevada City....very rustic and country. It was great to be able to spend time with everyone and I loved all of the little details. Brenden is such a party boy! He loved all of the attention and excitement. Best Wishes Galen and Kaylie!

XOXO,

We spent the entire day at a volleyball tournament. Good thing for Plants vs. Zombies!!!

At the batting cages.....My old man is such an athlete!

Kylah's team won 1st place!

I made Chicken Adobo in the Slow Cooker this morning so dinner would be ready for us.

For my birthday boy...good thing I took the time to make it last night.

Eclaire Cake....It was scrumptious and super easy to make!

My boys!!!!

Brenden Goes To Work

We had a very eventful Date Day Friday. Brenden drove around the house in his new truck, then we went to the the recycling center to cash in our plastic bottles....we started saving all CRV recyclables and have decided to put every penny in the baby's piggy bank. Today was our first attempt and we got $12.60. Woo hoo! Then we went to a metal recycling plant and dropped off a bunch of scrap metal....we got $40!!! He had a hard day of work and made $52. Finally,  Kylah had a volleyball game this evening, so we dropped her off and before watching the game we went to Bouchon Bakery in Yountville and grabbed some delicious pastries and coffee. Go Braves...they won!!!

Welcome Home...Almost

We signed our final docs and did our walk through.

 Escrow closes on Monday!!! 

The sellers are moving to Hawaii and 

will be renting back the house until the end of September. 

That means I have some time to pack.

Check out our views of the vineyards and valley...

Just hop over the fence to the winery. :)

Isn't he lovely........

XOXO,

Brenden :: Nine Months

Happy 9 Month birthday my love!

This photo shoot was by far the hardest. You would not sit still!

 

Little Man BC, I say it every month but time is flying by. This has by far been our most eventful month. Starting with the fact that YOU STARTED CRUISING along the furniture. I still can't believe it. It was very impressive. I'm just thankful I was there for those first steps. You are into everything and want to stand on whatever you can use to pull you up or push off on.

You are learning something new every day. You've learned that banging your toys on the table makes a loud noise that makes you giggle. You've found that screaming brings mommy running. You've learned how to eat Cherrios and hold your own cookie. You know how to give big, sloppy, wet kisses.

Your sleeping still sucks. I'm not sure what we're doing wrong but you end up in our bed most nights still. But I really don't mind, I enjoy the cuddles and I know it won't last forever so I'm savoring it. Daddy doesn't appreciate how he is practically sleeping on the edge!

You have four teeth. Four. You like to grind them which makes me cringe like nobody's business. You've also bite my boob once in awhile. Not fun times. I'm sure you'll love reading that sentence when you're older.

Baby Led Weaning is working out great for us. As of 9 months, you are getting 2 meals a day. You absolutely do not like pureed baby food or a spoon. So that was easy. You love it when I chop up whatever we are eating and give it to you. Broccoli is by far your favorite ever. Yes! I said broccoli!!! You love it and leave your mouth open the whole entire time. 

Reading time is so special for us. You back up into my lap and listen quietly. I am so impressed. Your favorite book is The Very Hungry Caterpillar. You get so excited and kick your feet. Also, you love watching VocabuLarry from the Baby First channel. He makes you start smiling and clapping.

Your personality is just so cool. So happy-go-lucky, independent and fun. Your dad and I are amazed every single day. We love you, BC. 

XOXO, 

Tania
