Hoogle Zoo

Daddy and Mommy took me to the Zoo for the first time yesturday. I had so much fun and got to see lots of funny animals. I couldn't stop laughing at the elephants and I really liked watching the giraffs and panguins. Here are some of the pictures that we took. I started to get tired and cranky towards the end and I didn't want to take any more pictures. Mommy also took me on the marigoround and I didn't like that to much either, but for the most part I had alot of fun and can't wait to go again next summer and show all the silly animals to my little brother.

Catching Up

( Note from mommy: Sorry everyone I have been really busy and have had alot of things on my mind latley so I apologize for not updating Bransons blog more. Once we get all moved and get used to the fact that there is going to be a new baby, hopefully I will get better and things will settle down around here. Thanks for understanding, hope you enjoy!)

Baby Animal Days

East weekend was the baby animal days and it was so fun, I went with Mommy and Aunt Kandice cause Daddy had to work. I got to pet so many animals and seen so many new things. Here is the baby cow that I got to pet. It was really soft.

This the baby lamb, I tried to pet it but the bigger kids kept climbing the fence and stuff so Mommy didn't dare let me down, she was worried that I would get hurt. Its ok though cause the lambs mom didn't want many people around any ways.

This one was the one I liked the most, it is a baby chick. It was soft and it was making noise, I kept trying to grab it but Mommy said it was to little and I had to be careful. I wanted to take it home with me. I didnt like the horse much, I just started to cry when Mommy got to close to it.

Then it was time to get a drink!

I really liked this one too, it was a big turtle, it didnt move much and it didnt make any noise but it felt funny and it didnt try to lick me or eat me.

Then right before we left to go home after our long day of playing with the animals, I got to sit on the easter bunnies lap. I kept petting his hand cause he is so soft.

My first Easter

My first easter, it was fun. We went up to Grandma and Grandpa Porters house the night before and colored eggs and had good dinner and I got a easter basket just full of stuff. Here is one of the toys I got, Mommy fills it with water and then the fish inside of it swim around.

My weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Gorders

I started the weekend off by eating licorice, I got really mad when this piece was gone cause it was so good but I had to get all my clothes off after wards cause I was so messy.

Then the next day we went over to my Great Grandmas house cause we have 5 generations and they wanted to take pictures, this is the third time this has happened in a row, my Mommy was a 5th generation and my Grandma was too. I am the first boy though. They put it in the newspaper down there in Richfield cause I guess its a big deal.

This is my Mommies 5th generation picture when she was a baby like me

Silly Mommy

The other day Mommy and me had a day full of laundry, we finally got it all done and the Mommy put me in the laundry basket. I fit just perfectly and Mommy thought it was funny. Do you see the tooth brush in my hand? Thats my new favorite toy.

The Willow Park Zoo

On Monday, Mommy and Daddy took me to the zoo, I love to see the animals, there were so many to look at and so many sounds coming from all of them but this was the prettiest one, this bird kept chasing the other ones all around and doing funny stuff, Mommy said he was trying to get a girl friend :)

Then we went over to the park and I got to swing for the first time. I liked it a little but Daddy pushed me to high and I got scared and started to cry.

Big Brother

I am going to be a BIG BROTHER!

Mommy and Daddy told me the other day that I am going to be a big brother. I am not to sure what to think about it, I suppose it will be lots of fun and I will have a friend.

Mommy goes to the doctor in a few weeks to see when the baby is going to come.

Well I have been a very busy boy the past few weeks and I am getting so big and mommy and daddy say that I am learning so much and they are always laughing at me. I have lots of pictures to show what I have been doing.

I took a nap one day and I was not tired when mommy put me to bed so I decided to play a little before I fell asleep and I got turned and had my legs through the bars on my crib so this is what I looked like when mommy came to check on me.


Then mommy decided to share her peeps with me. I LOVE them she held it for me while I sucked on it. After I sucked all the blue sugar stuff off she took it away from me and I just cried. I really liked it and I wanted more. My face and tongue was stained blue for awhile after that.

Then we had a very big snow storm and mommy had to do the shoveling cause daddy had surgery and couldnt do it so I decided I would go outside and keep her company. So here I am all bundled warm to go shovel with mommy.I went to my four month check up this month and I am 25in. long and weigh 14lbs. 15oz. and I was in the 40th percentile for both of those and then I was in the 70th percentile for my head. mommy said its just cause I am so smart. They gave me my shots while I was there so this is me not feeling to well afterwards.

This weekend I went to see my new cousins we are all just about the same age, left to right is River was born in Nov. then Me in Oct. then Bennett who was born in Sept. River was a little shy and he didn't play much but Bennett kept rolling over to me and we had fun trying to play with each other.

Then we did some family pictures, mommy fixed this one for me to use, its a cute one.
