Elliott and Holly: October 2012
http://elliottandholly.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2012. Wednesday, October 3, 2012. Dan and Elliott read a book last night about the earth and how it has evolved over the years. As I was putting E to bed (for the 3rd time) he said to me:. The earth started out as hot lava (said with a super excited voice). Then, water came. Then, LIFE (said mysteriously). Then dinosaurs. Then racoons. Then us. He is very interested in space right now. We got this book at the library, The Brightest in the Sky. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

In the Life of the Blanton's: 4 months!
http://aprilandandyblanton.blogspot.com/2011/09/4-months.html
Well it's happened again.time is flying. Brady is already 4 months old! We went for his well check yesterday. His stats are 13.5lbs (20th percentile).kinda low but the doc didn't seem to worried (He is getting ready to start cereal so he should beef up some) and 25.75 inches (80th percentile). So basically he's tall and skinny like his mama! A few things going on at 4 months:. Smiles ALL the time! Sleeps on his stomach. Rolls front to back consistently. The drool.oh the drool! Sleeps from about 8pm-6pm :).

First Day of Preschool! Ok now I know time has gone too fast! Mason has started preschool! We have been overly blessed in having both grandmothers keep him instead of having to put him in daycare. I wanted to get him started in some kind of preschool so he'd learn that life doesn't revolve around him, since his world will be turned upside down come May. After hearing lots of good things about Deer Park Baptist's Child Day Out, we chose that! He goes Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9am-12:30pm. 9 mo: 21lbs 1...

We had a great Easter weekend! Started with dying eggs and a successful, quick photo shoot in the front yard. Then we went to an Egg Drop (they scatter 20,000 eggs on the field then drop 10,000 eggs from a helicopter). Mason LOVED the drop this year. Easter morning we discovered what the Easter Bunny brought. Mason cared about nothing but the "CHOCOLATE BUNNY! After church we went to Granny and Granddaddy's for dinner and an egg hunt. Hope everyone had a great holiday. Happy Easter from the Blanton's!

It has to be some kind of record.snow is Charleston TWICE in one year (Feb and Dec). Global warming.HA! While it may have only been a dusting.we'll take what we can get :). We are so blessed to have both sides of the family here in Charleston. This is great for Mason and them b/c everyone can spend time on Christmas. Putting out cookies for Santa. Christmas morning we woke up to find what Santa had brought. Mason must have been really good! Spending time with family is priceless. Yes that's what the post...

I swore up and down I would NEVER own a minivan. Not that I don't like them.they just have 7 passenger SUVs that are less "mommyish". Like the Honda Pilot which happens to be my dream car at the moment. Well, times are tough and we needed another car that would fit 2 kids and well this was a good deal. So without further adu.here it is.my new mommy car equipped with mood lights, a TV, and a VCR :) :).

Spinal Headache.otherwise known as the headache from hell. I woke up the next morning in the hospital with a headache. They gave me Motrin, Perkaset and had me drink 4 Mt. Dews (caffeine to help constrict the blood vessels). That worked so I said "I'm fine send me home". Little did I know. Friday morning I woke up with the worst headache I've ever had. A pounding, pulsating migraine headache. I couldn't get out of bed. Cure? Lay flat until it heals. REALLY? A bunch of firsts! He held it himself! Feeding ...

First family outing = Riverdogs game! It started to rain when we got there but we stood in line to get tickets then waited the rain out in the gift shop (very stupid with a 2 year old). Soon we were able to get to our seats. Mason got his face painted for the first time and we all enjoyed ourselves :) Here are a few snapshots of the night.

Mason's First Surfing Lesson. We went to the beach today and Mason got his first "surfing" lesson from daddy! Still has another year or so before he's big enough for his own board. Off to the water :). Look at that concentration. Had a blast :). Big boy got an A for his checkup. He's up to 11 lbs 12oz and is 23.5 in long. He had to get 3 shots which of course he did NOT like. Here are a few facts about Brady @ 2 months. Sleeps 7-8hrs at night. Holds his head up better every day. When you are born in the ...
