Tonight, we went with Alissa (Brogan's cousin) to her 9 yr old's basketball game. Micah is so dang funny. She is a straight up spitfire of a girl and she has that black girl attitude problem that is hilarious. She is half black by the way so go figure :-) Ha Ha! Saije was completely fascinated with the game. As the girls would run up and down the court she would follow them with her eyes and hardly made a peep. I think I got a sporty girl on my hands! YAY! Look at those cheekies and that bottom lip!
Out of nowhere Saije started sucking on her bottom lip tonight. She kept doing it and wouldn't stop! Micah thought it would be funny to immitate her. Lol
I realized the other day that the only time Saije ever spends on her tummy is when she sleeps, so I have started giving her tummy time during the day and she LOVES it! She is so strong it's ridiculous. She will be 16 weeks old on Sunday so it's about that time I suppose. I think I secretly tell myself she's not old enough to be doing these things to convince myself that she's NOT growing up! Ha Ha!
Last week when Brogan was home, we had such a great time! We found this handmade Boise State beanie at a craft boutique and couldn't pass it up. He looks so dang cute it in it's ridiculous! He's our little BSU stinker! :D
Ahhh! My boys once again! I need to figure out how to upload videos because just before I took this pic Brogan was beat boxing (he's a pro) and Channing was dancing to the beat. He LOVES when his Daddy beat-boxes! In fact, when we were taking family pictures a few weeks ago, the only way we could get Channing to smile really big for his individual pics was for Brogan to bust out his beats. It was hysterical. Even the camera lady was laughing cuz Channing got the biggest kick out of it! That kid, I tell you what, is one of a kind. I loves loves loves him!
Another thing, he will be 22 months old on the 27th and he has already hit the "Terrible Two's"! TRUST ME! Brogan has been saying that for awhile, but seriously...it's gotten worse! Ha Ha! He is climbing on whatever he can climb on and getting into everthing he can get into and opening anything he can open including every single door in our apartment! Phew! It's Go Go Go with that kid! A very cute thing happened last week though that made me feel good. Brogan was doing dishes in the kitchen and I was trying to change the channel on the TV so neither one of us were really paying attention to him. In that split moment, he tried climbing on the table. His hand slipped and he fell HARD right on his noggen and got a HUGE goose-egg right on the back of his head. It wasn't just a goose-egg either. It drew some blood! Brogan INSTANTLY dropped what he was doing and grabbed him off the floor and I ran into the kitchen at the same time. He was crying hysterically as you can imagine! He is a Daddy's boy through and through, but believe it or not he reached out his arms to me and wanted me to cuddle him until he stopped crying. He has never done that! When he is mad or sad or upset he ONLY wants his Daddy! It made me feel really really good! He has always liked me, just never wanted me when he was hurt or upset. We're making progress! Mommy Jayne loves you big boy! MUAH!!!
Last Friday we all went out to Brogan's Aunt Laura and Uncle Rick's house and had a game night with the whole family. Brogan's family is really really close! He was raised by his paternal grandparents since his Mom was in prison his whole childhood and his Dad suffered from MS, which later took his life. His Dad had one sister, Laura, and she has two daughters, Alissa and Ashley. Brogan considers them more his sisters than cousins because they have always been super close. Brogan also has an 18 year old sister, Kayla. They have the same Dad but different Moms. Anyway...everyone but Kayla, Ashley's boyfriend Brad, and Uncle Rick were there and we played "Quelf" (hilarious) and "Things" (even more hilarious)! Oh I forgot, Alissa's daughter Micah was there and also her husband Cory. Sorry guys! We all brought snacks and we just muched, talked, played games, and enjoyed one another's company. I love the Gransbury family. They have accepted me and loved me as their own since the first time I met all of them. Talk about real genuine people with HUGE hearts! Grandma and Grandpa consider Saije one of their great-grandchildren and they have pics of her all over their house! I love it...being part of such a great family feels amazing. Love you guys!
So...to explain the pictures! Ha Ha! So Micah is half black...and she totally dresses the part! She is such a tomboy, has a fro, loves rap and hip hop, has the black girl attitude, and is so flippin smart! Brogan was makin fun of her hat and sunglasses look so he striked a pose. Micah did the same exact pose and we all got a kick out of it. Only in this family! lol
Still as happy as ever! This pic was taken at 15 weeks. What a cutie-pa-tootie!
I decided to add some brown back to my hair instead of going all blonde still. My hair needed a break from all the bleaching. We still added SOME blonde, but did dark brown in there too. I really really love it. Especially during the winter to be a little bit darker. Alissa does hair so she's my go to girl when it comes to hair ideas. Now I just need to work on growing it out! IT WON'T GROW THOUGH!!!
This has got to be one of the best pictures of Saije's beautiful smile. I know I've said this before, but she has to be the happiest baby on the planet. It's all this girl does! And it's soooo contagious! Love you baby girl!
Daddy and his kiddos! They sure love their Daddy! I am absolutely mesmerized when Brogan plays with the kids on the floor or whatever. I just stare at him and think to myself "How do other men not want that? How do bad Dad's even exist?" He could do it for hours and it's like nothing else matters. He lives for those moments! He has the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met and it's made of straight gold. He would give the world for those kids and for me. I am so lucky to have such an amazing man in my life. I am truly truly blessed!
The bond Saije and Brogan have is undescribable! Even at such a young age, she knows her her Mommy is and who her Daddy is. I know I've mentioned this before, but the quote "any man can be a Father but it takes someone special to me a Dad" is the best way to describe Brogan's relationship with Saije. He knows he's not her Father, we all do! But he IS her Daddy 100% and without a fraction of a doubt. Seriously...what did I do to deserve him? My life has been turned upside down in the most amazing and incredible way possible! I love you baby! Will you marry me? ;-) Ha Ha! Oh wait! We're already engaged! March can't come soon enough!
Last but not least, Brogan comes home on Sunday after only being gone a week and he's home for TWO WEEKS STRAIGHT! I am so excited I can hardly stand it! We will leave Christmas night to head back to North Dakota with him again for another two weeks. I told him that I am getting the BEST Christmas present in the world: having him home for Christmas! He wasn't able to be home for Thanksgiving so to have him home for this Holiday will be special!
We have a TON of presents under the tree for the kids and each other, but nothing compares to being together as our own little family on that special day! We knocked out almost all our Christmas shopping in one day last week when he was home. Almost broke the bank if I'm being honest, but what other time can you spend a crap load of money on clothes and toys and stuff and not feel guilty? Ha Ha! Thank you babe for already making this Christmas the best I've ever had! Christmas with kids brings on a whole new meaning for me. I know Saije is only 3 1/2 months old and doesn't know the difference between Christmas and any other day of the year, but it's awesome to buy her gifts and wrap them and put her name on the gift tag. Same with Channing. He doesn't quite understand yet either but it's the concept of giving that is absolutely amazing. I love MY family! Merry Christmas everyone! Hope your Christmas is filled with love and joy and true happiness because you all deserve it! Cherish your loved ones and count your blessings. We have so much to be thankful for!
