Shrinking Mama
With summer quickly approaching I've been hitting the gym every weekday morning since march in preparation of putting on a bathing suit. I've been dreading this all winter but today I put some pre-baby clothes on and they looked good and I weighed myself Friday and I'm down 59lbs since Peter was born. Granted I'm no Victoria's secret model but I feel great and confident I can loose the last college 25lbs.

Fun at Lake Accotink
Brandon has been asking to go to the Choo Choo park for days. First it was raining the beginning of the week then we needed a couple of days to let it dry. But today I finally agreed to take him. The boys had the most fun on the swings.

Visiting GiGi and Pop Gallagher
Last week I took the boys to NJ so we could spend sometime with GiGi and Pop. Then head over to my college for a good ol reunion. The boys were awesome the whole ride up. But when we got by Newark International airport things got crazy. Brandon kept screaming Mama plane, or Mama truck, and the last one Mama train! I thought I would go nuts with all his hyperness.
Wednesday night B and PJ were so happy to be out of the car and explore all the new toys GiGi got them. Brandon was also very excited for his own room with a bed rail, I was even happier that he slept in his room all night Wednesday nigh minus a midnight visit to Pop. Thursday he woke up around 3 and came to me.
Thursday night GiGi babysat and owner out with my friend Gina for pedicures and Irish food. My mom called only once to let me know I was missed. Friday morning we left GiGi and Pop around 10:30 WCC! We had a WCC new mommy reunion. I have 4 girlfriends who all have new babies. 3 weeks, 2 months, and 3 months. My boys were the trouble makers!
After WCC we went to visit Aunt Christine, Uncle Todd, Tyler and Lauren. We had dinner and saw a car show then went back to their house for Brandon to jump out his energy on the
trampoline.
Here are some pictures from our trip

Peter 8 months
Peter 8 months
He can wave hello or goodbye by waving his fingers
Peter got his first tooth last week
He loves to stand and pull himself up all day
Mommy got Peter to go to bed on his own. He cried it out the first two nights but now he's a pro at putting himself to sleep
Peter sleeps longer at night. It's not all night but he goes to bed between 6-7:30 and wakes up for a bottle between 11-1. He won't take a bottle before bed that's why he wakes up. But he sleeps until 7 am after his midnight bottle
Peter is officially crawling
He lights up whenever he sees Brandon.
He loves balloons just as much as his older brother.

Visiting Aunt Christine, Uncle Todd Tyler and Lauren
After college reunions yesterday we drove over to my sister in laws to get dinner and have the kids play. We we to a car show and tried to get a picture of all the kids in front of a car. But Brandon was on stimulation overload and kept trying to run into street traffic. So we got one at their house and it's so cute.

2 years old a few fun facts
2 years old. My how fast that went.
Brandon can talk in 3-5 word sentences. But it's hard to understand him all the time. But that doesn't stop him from chatting all day long.
Terrible two tantrums have been really popular when he doesn't get his way
He just learned to put on his own shoes but always puts them on the wrong foot. It's cute how independent he wants to be
Brandon started his first art class and used glue sticks for the first time. It was a hit
His other class is a gym class and in 3 classes he has learned how to jump, roll down a hill, and walk on a balance beam
He's actually playing with friends instead of parallel play
Brandon has a fear of Mosquitos. He shakes in fear if he gets near them
Loves to break out into dance. It's really funny cause you never know when it's going to happen
Our little preschooler also learned some bad habits of pushing and hitting. We are working on stopping this ASAP
He loves to ride in other peoples cars. I guess it's an adventure to him or he's already sick of his mama
Brandon always has had a healthy appetite but lately he's starting to want to play first and eat later.
He knows when he goes potty but we are working on getting him to go on the potty
He loves airplanes, trains, cars, playing in the park, and sand box
His new favorite food is fruit smoothies
He hasn't had his 2 year old well check yet but I'm estimating he is 3feet and 32lbs (that's about 6 inches and 3 lbs growth since he turned one)
Brandon goes up to Peter and gives him a kiss and says I love you Peter. We are thrilled how much he loves his brother
We love our 2 year old!! It's still a shock that two years can go by so fast
