But, first, his stats: Weight: 17lbs 5oz – 85th percentileHeight: 26.5 inches – 94th percentileHead: 17.3 inches – 97th percentile A few notes on Oscar’s physical stats. Walt was always (and still is) at…

Yamboree 2013
Cool air, football, the smell of fall all mean one thing: it’s Yamboree time! For those of you who don’t know, it’s the annual celebration of yams that happens in Gilmer, TX every October. It’s Walt’s third Yam-fest, and Oscar’s very first. Admittedly, Oscar didn’t get to partake in all the festivities, but boy did…
What’s in a Nickname
I’m not really sure how they came about, but Chris and I managed to nickname both the boys within days of their existence. I don’t even know how we came up with the names because it’s not like we knew what the babies would be like. Turns out, the nicknames couldn’t be more wrong for…
She Works Hard for the Money
On September 16, I returned back to work. While I know in my heart of hearts that I want to be working, the transition from maternity leave back to the working world is a really tough one. Not because maternity leave is this blissful 12 weeks where I sit on the couch and chillax. But,…
Oscar is Three Months!
Oscar is quickly becoming the cutest kid on the planet #totallybiased. He is such a happy little guy and super go-with-the-flow. We always thought Walt was a pretty laid back baby, but Oscar is even more so! He’s content awake or asleep. He can easily go four hours between feedings (though I still keep it…
As those 12 weeks come to a close…
Wow. I can’t believe my maternity leave is up. 12 weeks on paper seems like a long time. If you told me that my next vacation was in 12 weeks, I’d think it was forever away! 12 weeks from the date of this blog is just before Christmas. I can’t decide if I should start…
What exactly DO you do on Maternity Leave?
I’m about to enter my last week of maternity leave and I can’t help but be sad about it. Can’t I just sit and watch Oscar all day until he’s like 10 months old and getting into everything? My sister, Michelle, and I were were agreeing how babies are so fun from about 3 –…
The Bruns’ Boys in Moving Picture Form
I realized it’s been a while since I’ve posted some vids of the boys. Come to think of it, Oscar has yet to make his moving picture debut on the blog. So, I am sharing two of the boys’ favorite things. Walt is quite the little golfer. So much so, that he is distracted from…
Oscar’s Room
Nothing like posting pics of Oscar’s nursery 2.5 months after he’s born 🙂 In truth, his room was actually 95% complete before he was born (miraculous, I know). Chris and I were literally hanging pictures just days before I went into labor. Probably the reason the nursery got back burnered for the blog was that…
My Little Allergy Man
As many know, we found out last summer that Walt is highly allergic to peanuts. While the incident that gave us the indication was super scary, I have to say it’s been a relatively easy thing to handle. Luckily food allergies seem to be more prominent (maybe we are just more educated??) so everyone around…
