7 months

Another month as come and gone and Brantley just keeps growing! August was a busy month for us.  September will even be a busier month, but that is part of life right?  Brantley is getting quite the little personality.  His laugh is so funny and it doesn't take much for him to laugh.  I just think he likes the attention.  He FINALLY figured out how to roll from his stomach to his back consistentley. Although there are still the times he gets on his belly and gets mad he just cries until we roll him back over.  He is getting closer to crawling.  He gets up on his knees, but doesn't push up with his arms at the same time. I think he is going to be into EVERYTHING once he starts crawling, but that is part of learning right?  He can feed himself cheerios like a pro.  I started giving him other finger foods this week and he has handled them pretty well.  He definitely loves his food and some days we can get it to him fast enough. He loves being in his walker and can make his way across the carpet now.  It is so nice he can entertain himself a little longer now! Brantley will wave  lift his arm up when saying hi or bye to people.  I'm pretty sure it is intentionally, but can't totally tell yet.  We are looking forward to another great month with this little guy!

Sporting his new ear muffs that reduce sound for Aggie sporting events.  We will be trying them out tonight at the first Aggie football game of the season.

This is what happens when I leave him by the diaper bag.  He was grabbing the cereal in hand fulls and shoving it in his mouth.  He was pretty proud of himself.

2....4....6....Teeth!

Brantley now has 6 teeth. You read that right 6! And the best or worst part is he got them all with in a month.  He has 2 on the bottom and 4 on the top.  Over all he handled it ok, but I am so glad it is over.  Hopefully he won't be teething again for a while!
This past weekend we had our Sessions family reunion.  On Friday we went to Morgan and swam at our family friend's house.   That night Jared and I took Brantley to the Davis County Rodeo. I had to keep reminding myself I was surrounded by a bunch of city slickers.  It was a pretty small rodeo.  Then on Saturday we went out to Erda and just visited with everyone.  That night we went to a Real Salt Lake game.  It was fun, other than Real lost in stoppage time.  Brantley handled it ok, and only freaked out a couple of times.  We are just getting him use to loud events since we will be dragging him to Aggie football and basketball games.  
It was nice to spend some time with my family and just visit with everyone!

Back to School

Yes you read that right, for Jared that is.  After being graduated for a year Jared decided he missed school so much that he wanted to go back...or something like that!  He has decided to study Speech Language Pathology.  Right now he is taking undergrad courses online to complete requirements to get into the Master program.  If all works out he will start the Masters program at Utah State next summer.  It is just a two year program which won't be too bad to handle (at least for me). I am so proud of Jared for this step in life he has taken.  This summer he has worked full time and took 12 credit hours.  He has done very well in his classes and has been able to stay caught up on work.  He will continue to work full time until he starts the masters program. Hopefully at that time my work can bump me up to at least 75%.

Jared had to reapply to USU. Here is his acceptance letter.

And of course I have to mention Brantley in a post.  He is currently cutting his 4th tooth.  I hope it breaks through soon.  This poor kid has cut 3 teeth since July 20th, working on his 4th, and had to get his 6 month shots on top of all of that.
