It's been way too long

Okay so I've been pretty lazy when it comes to my blog. It's been a bit of a stress filled time since I last posted a blog.
Brandon is now 21lbs 27in. He eats everything that I eat, plus stuff I don't like, such as formula :)
He has pretty much skipped that whole crawling bit and is now working on walking. He is trying to pull himself up on everything and gets very impatient when I think I have other things to do besides hold his hands and walk with him so he can wander around the house, or lead me to the doors so he can go outside! He has 4 teeth and has 1 or more coming in; I say 1 or more because anytime I try and look or feel around he gets upset or wiggles out of my grasp and won't have anything to do with me having my fingers in his mouth.
I've had to cut his hair twice, but the 2nd time he moved too much so I kinda made it real choppy... But he already needs another one and I'm hoping since his hair grows so fast we are going to both get better at the handling of the haircuts :)
Brandon says da-da without discrimination, but he knows me & will only say ma-ma or mom when he is upset and wants me to fix something. He also jabbers with the g-sound, the t-sound, and multiple other letters that I can't remember at the moment.
He is getting to be such a happy boy! The first 3 or 4 months he was always cranky and crying but he has really mellowed out and I've really learned how to respond with what he needs when he needs so most of the time outrageous bawling sessions don't happen, and everyone is much happier!
Brandon sleeps through the night very well, and if he does happen to wake up he rarely needs anything but to be flipped over and for me to give him his pacifier.
He loves to eat rocks & dirt, likes his jumper seat, LOVES bathtime, but hates lotion time that always happens after the bath lol
Let's see, a little about me, I'm doing okay, its been a rough go of it for my marriage, but we are trying to work through things now.
I'm living in North Las Vegas with Patrick & Susie, who are very tolerant of Brandon & I taking up their space lol
I'm going to start training for a new job tomorrow, I'll be a Rope Course Guide, which is basically being a safety guide and a team work guide for kids and teens. I'm excited that I'll be getting to work outside!! Hopefully I'll get a little bit of a tan and get in better shape.
I think that is a pretty good summary of what is going on right now... I didn't actually talk about what has happened in the middle lol
Well, thats about it for today, I'm gonna go wash some dishes!!
