What an exciting weekend we had! For starters, it was a long weekend, which is always welcome. We headed out to Gilmer for some Nana and Papa time and apparently that’s all Oscar needed to entice him to get off all fours. Admittedly, the very first time this happened was two weeks ago. At Walt’s…
Oscar Has a lot to Say
This kid has so much to say. This doesn’t even scratch the surface. Usually he is most chatty when looking at pictures and photos.
Oscar’s Bookshelf Project
I typically have good intentions when it comes to DIY projects. I’m a pretty handy girl. I can use a hammer and I’m definitely not afraid of a paint brush (or some spray paint). But, my normal DIY project usually goes like this: Stumble on an adorable project on Pinterest Assess the amount of work…
Oscar is 10 Mos
Oh boy. We are now in double-digit months. Two months away from a whole year old. It’s really unbelievable how quickly the first year goes and how much they change. Just 10 short months ago, we had a teeny tiny (ok, fine. He was never teeny tiny) infant who just ate and slept. hey everyone!…
Bruns Brothers
I felt it time to dedicate a post to the two Bruns Brothers. I don’t know what their relationship will be like when they are older (hell, I don’t know what it’ll be like tomorrow), but since Oscar was born, these two have been best buddies. These sweet boys of mine Walt wears the big…
Oscar Gets a Haircut
From the moment we first saw Oscar, he had a full head of hair. In fact, I remember one of my ultrasounds and the tech noted she could see hair on his head. Not surprising given Chris has a full head of dark black hair and I have typical Italian thick hair. You can imagine…
Sticking to your Guns
I admit. I’m a pushover. I try and try and try to instill boundaries, but sometimes the battle is harder than what’s being asked. Luckily, Chris and I have a great partnership where we encourage each other to teach our boys good behavior and still promote strong, independent personalities. Have you read the blog about…
Oscar is 9 Months
It is so fun having a 9 month old. Oscar is becoming quite the little observer and he wants to try everything. Everything from food to doing whatever big brother is doing. He’s started to babble a LOT, which is hilarious. 9 months also means a doctor visit, which is great because I get to…
The Bruns are Going Sustainable
Ok, fine. We aren’t living off our land anytime soon (not sure 1/4 of an acre track housing would allow for much farming anyways). But, Chris got some inspiration and built a raised garden planter. He was so excited about it that he pulled Walt out of school early to help him plant the goods…
Walt Plays Soccer
Pretty much since birth, Walt has been attracted to any kind of ball. Basically from the time he could walk, he started kicking balls. I couldn’t wait for him to finally be old enough to actually get some coaching. We recently enrolled Walt in a little soccer skills programs. They don’t play other teams, but…
