Viv’s 4-month Stats

Vivy’s 4-month well check was a few days after her 4-month birthday, so here goes… Weight: 12lbs 8oz (14th percentile)Height: 23.5″ (12th percentile)Head: 16.5″ (82nd percentile) A few observations… we got a petite little nugget here!  Oscar at four months was 5 whole pounds bigger at 17lbs 5 oz.  That’s more than 25% bigger than Viv! The…

Merry Christmas 2016

Another Christmas in the books but this time as a family of five.  Chris and I agree that this was one of the best Christmas’s in our lives together. High praise! I am so lucky to work somewhere that shuts down from Christmas Eve through the New Year. That’s not to say that the days…

Vivian Elise is 4 Months Old!

Little miss is four months old! This last month was really fun (as things typically are between 3-8 months…juuuuust in time to go back to work). Lucky for us (me), I’ve had the luxury of having Vivian home with me during my first month back at work. We had so many wonderful helpers for her…

Christmas Celebrations

This weekend we really got in the holiday spirit.  Not just because the temps dropped to arctic levels (that’s enough out of you, Mr. 9 degree windchill), but we had holiday programs and Santa visits galore! First, on Friday, both Chris and I got to visit Walt’s classroom for his Winter party. The volunteer parents…

House Update #3 – SOLD!

It’s been a while since I’ve done a house update, but truthfully, there hasn’t been much to report. Since September, we’ve pretty much just watched the exterior come together. But, in the last several weeks we’ve listed our current house for sale, SOLD our current house, and seen lots of progress on the new house….

Vivian Elise is 3 Months

Our little princess is 3 months old already! I know things won’t slow down (in fact, they will probably speed up)! This also marks the end of my maternity leave. I go back to work on Monday after Thanksgiving. So, this is also the end of a very well-defined piece of my life. More on…

Walt Soccer – Fall 2016

We wrapped up another great season of fall soccer with Walt’s team: Team Chaos.  These boys have been together since they were 3 and now they are all turning 6.  It seems crazy to say, but they have truly come SO far.  All us moms were commenting at the last game how much fun they…

Oscar Soccer – Fall 2016

Oscar first organized sport is in the books… thank goodness. Phew – that did not go as we expected. Granted, when we started Walt in soccer, he was six months older, but this experience should have been marketed as 3-Year-Old Cat Herding.  Talk about wheels off! If someone wasn’t crying, screaming, yelling or dancing, then…

A Bruns Family Halloween

Phew! Halloween kind of snuck up on us! All of our attention has been on a clock and a calendar (Ok, it’s Tuesday so Oscar has soccer; Ok, it’s Friday so Walt has to dress like a piece of cotton candy; When does Vivian feed again?) but apparently the 31 on this month was meaningless…

Vivian Elise is 2 Months!

Here we are again! Another month. Time is on a freight train right now. I barely remember month one.  Now sweet Viv is two months old and I know it’s just going to come faster and faster. I hate to say Vivian is the best baby because someday the boys will read these blogs and…
