Lock the Cabinets… Walt is A’scootin’!

I have so many posts this week, so they might be a little out of order.  Today is Walt’s 7-month birthday, but I’ll blog about what he’s doing later in the week along with some cute photos. Also, Grammy Girls did a memorable brunch yesterday (with babies), so there’s more to come about that later…

Walt has Friends!

While I was on maternity leave, I really tried to take advantage of the stay-at-home thing. While I’m very comfortable with my decision to go back to work at this point, one of the things I miss the MOST is being able to escort Walt to play dates. This week, Walt had two play dates!…

Family Road Trip to Austin

Last weekend, The Bruns family met the McClure Family (Jeff, Janna, Cash (3.5), Blake (1)) just outside Austin to celebrate a milestone birthday for Jeff.  I took my camera, which was a feat in and of itself.  My parents were always terrible about bringing their camera (our family photo albums consist of Christmas and July…

Walt finds his inner soprano

No, I don’t mean his inner Italian. We’re waiting for that (fist pump or GTL we hope will be avoided… but who are we to judge?). Walt has developed a very controlled squeal (or screech) that he often emits when he’s very contently playing. He is most content while in his activity center (or “roundabout”,…

Six Month Stats

Saw Dr. G today and got lots of A+’s 🙂  My estimations are true. He’s still very tall and though he’s not quite as lean as last time (I thought I noticed he was chunking up!), he’s still in a lower percentile in weight.  Here goes: Weight: 18.5lbs (75th percentile) Height: 28 inches (97th percentile…woah!)…

Walt is Six Months!

It seems Walt keeps hitting milestone birthdays when I get back in town from business trips. This past Friday was no different. I was gone to San Francisco for one day (see post), and got to come home to a rambunctious little six-month old!  We see Dr. G on Tues to get all his physical…

Why I love Cali!

After a short 24-hr trip for work, I am reminded why I love Cali so much. Here goes…1. In Feb in LA it is easily 75-80 degrees2. In July in San Fran it is 65 degrees 3. Organic and locally grown food EVERYWHERE. I bet even McDonalds has organic stuff!4. Bike lanes… Biking and carpooling is…

Working and Schooling Mommy Madness is Upon Us

I don’t even know why I’m blogging right now. There’s about 9,394 other things I should be doing.  Somehow in the past three weeks, my job just skyrocketed into major workload increases and a little bit of job scrutiny.  On top of all that, I’m taking two online classes for my MBA and they are…

Walt is Five Months!

It’s another monthly birthday! Every month I think I like this one the most, but that keeps evolving with each passing month.  Walt actually celebrated this b-day on the day I got back from Nashville. Luckily he was in a fantastic mood when I picked him up from day care, so we snapped some pics….

I survived the business trip!

I am minutes away from getting to see my little Munka after being gone for almost four days!  Before I had Walt, I didn’t travel for work a lot, but I definitely traveled some.  I’d say probably 6-8 trips a year.  When I returned from maternity leave it was right in the middle of trade…
