We love fall!
One of the reasons I love fall this year is because it's time to put Brennan in footie PJs and I LOVE THAT! So snuggly and it helps that he's a cuddler too.
My little stinker is SUPER smily these days. It's so fun to "Talk" with him. He's trying so hard to talk back... too cute! He won't smile at a camera but if I have his daddy come over and talk to him he'll smile away. Guess he's gonna be my little conversationalist. :)
Brennan talking to me. :) He has so many expressions. My favorite is when he lifts one eye brow and looks at me with a serious face... like "really, mom?" :)

Introducing Brennan to family
Brennan got to spend a lot of time with Nanna. Since he was so off schedule due to the time change, mom would help me watch him while I caught another hour or so of sleep in the mornings. SUCH a blessing.
We took a 24 hour trip up to Greenville so that Abbi and Suzanna could meet their nephew while he was still in the semi-newborn stage. While there we got to have dinner with my cousins, the Bullocks, and we stayed the night with my cousin Jess, her husband Tim, and their adorable new baby, Kyle.
The funny thing is that they're about the same size. Kyle was born on May 30th and Brennan on September first. So they're approx. 4 mos. apart and relatively the same size. lol
Abbi was so sweet with him. She and Suzanna gamely shared their time with him. Let's just say he was never put down during that whole visit. Brennan didn't mind... he is defintely a cuddler. :) Abbi's boyfriend Brett was also able to visit with Brennan. Apparently they've already bonded, for as Brett pointed out, they both belong to the club whose member's name's begin with the letters BR :)
The trip was amazing and Brennan did amazing. It was well worth the mess up in schedule and we're all looking forward to having Aunt Abbi and Suzanna come home for Christmas!

Getting Ready for Baby
Ryan's dad and brothers have tremendously helped us over the summer. They've been a blessing to be around and have been SUCH hard workers. Hopefully by the end of this week, the new sprinkling system will be in and we'll be able to put in new planters. Next week, we'll seed the lawn. I'm sure our neighbors are looking forward to seeing grass again. I know I am. :)
My parents have also been helping us gear up towards baby's arrival. My dad is building a changing table/dresser. So far it looks amazing. He's done an incredible job and I'm looking forward to seeing the final product. It's going to match the crib that he got us perfectly!
Dad has also matted and framed the pictures that we cut out from one of our favorite children's books to use as the inspiration for the room decor. Below is a picture of the type of picture we're using, but I'll have to post the finish matted product once they're hanging up in the room.
Mom has been helping me (*making for me* ) the baby's bedding and curtains. The curtains are almost done, but the bumper pads and crib skirt look amazing :) Tonight, Ryan and I are going to buy a matress and it will be so fun to see the crib all put together.
Today is Ryan and my second anniversary! We went on a special trip a couple of weeks ago since we didn't want to risk being gone when the baby came. In the midst of the chaos of the house remodel and the complete landscaping makeover, this trip is truly a blessing. We had no schedule whatsoever and so it was a nice time to just sit and talk as we looked out over the ocean below the property where we were staying. Truly Beautiful! Now as we are home again and once again hitting the grind stone, we are getting more and more excited to meet our precious little man.
