Carter's stats, blessing, and Christmas

Carter is such a silly, little boy! He loves to coo and talk and really smile - especially to his mom! He loves attention! Likes to be held facing out! He thinks he is a big boy! Here are his two month stats:
Weight: 10 pounds 1 ounce...just a little guy!
Length: 22 inches
Head: 14.25 inches


Curtis blessed Carter and did a great job! We are so thankful for family and all who attended! There were 15 men in the blessing circle! Thanks to my family and Curtis's family for the support!

Merry Christmas!!

May we ponder the real reason.

Carter's Baby Announcement

Seems like everything I post lately is pretty much a repeat of last year's December. Oh yeah, that's because it is...just with a different Baby Boy. :) Go to the archive - click on 2008 and December.

Baby Jesus Part II

2009 Baby Jesus

Here is Carter as Baby Jesus. Cannon was Baby Jesus last year (Hence, Part II).

Similarities between 2008 & 2009 Baby Jesus': same white blanket, little boys with lots of hair, same last name, both first names start with a "C".

Differences: Baby Jesus this year needed a pacifier and cried a little while Baby Jesus last year did not cry, nor needed a paci.

And no, there won't be a Baby Jesus provided by us, the Browning's, next year for the nativity. :) Sorry! We'll let another family do that next year...plus, what if we had a girl?

Love this shot - something a typical older brother would do. :)

Two Years Ago Today This Happened...

And it was the best decision I have ever made!!!

The "Twins"

Cannon is cheesin it while Carter is screaming. Sweet!

Squeaks & Squirm

Yes, we have a nickname for Carter...it is Squeaks. Cannon is Squirm. We'll probably get really confused with the "S" and "C" names. Carter went to the doctor yesterday for his 2 week checkup even though he is almost 3 weeks. He is such a little baby! Little in our eyes anyway.

Weight: 7 lbs 14 oz (still smaller than when Cannon was born).

ONE and so much FUN!

Happy Birthday to Cannon Boy on Oct. 21st! It was a low-key birthday party (with just the three of us) since Carter was going to be born the next day. Cannon got many toys and clothes. He loved his chocolate birthday cake that I made, but we knew he'd love it since he eats anything!!! Cannon is such a good little boy! He tries to be gentle with his little brother by rubbing his hair or giving him kisses. Cannon has such a cute little personality! We promise we'll have a bigger birthday party for you next year Cannon Boy (you may have to share it with your brother though - sorry)! :)

Brothers

I have a feeling these two are going to be good buddies! :)

Carter and all of his hair!

Carter and his dad! :)

This is me today: October 13, 2009. A few days before having Baby Boy Browning #2.
This is me about a year ago: October 4, 2008. A few days before having Baby Boy Browning #1.

Not much of a difference with the pictures, huh?? Same clothes, same size, same room... just different hair lengths. Baby #1 was 7 pounds 15 ounces and 20 inches long. What is your guess for Baby #2??

Squirm gets a haircut!

Happy Autumn!

What's your favorite season? I used to think mine was summer, but I think it might now be fall.

11 Months Old

Here are a few pictures taken this past month of our Cannon Boy. He is growing bigger and smarter each day. He's such a good little boy and we love having him in our family!!

Can't believe it!

* No, this is not a picture of me.


I can't believe I'm already 31 weeks along! Now we are in the single digits counting down the weeks. This pregnancy has flown by and even though I don't look 31 weeks along, I'm still ready to be done. I will have been pregnant for a total of 18 months in less than two years...and that's nothing to brag about. :)

Cannon's 3 favorite things this month...

#1 - Causing trouble by pulling himself up the furniture and walking around it.

#2 - Watching and listening to his dad sing and play the guitar. Almost every time Curtis comes home for lunch he sings and plays the guitar for Cannon. Cannon loves it and even claps for his dad's mini-concert!

#3 - Playing with his Tickle-Me-Elmo! And P.S. his diaper hadn't leaked in this pic, Cannon had just spilled water on himself. :)

Love/Hate Relationship

Lately Curtis has been bringing half a dozen of these little puppies home to me - quite often, and I never ask for them. I have to admit, I love it and hate it all at the same time!!
