Brennan's 1st Birthday Planning

So, this weekend I spent a LOT of time on Pinterest and Etsy googling "monkey," "monkey birthday" and "monkey first birthday."  So far, we have a monkey pinata, some monkey goodies and Brennan's birthday hat, bib and banner.  I went ahead and got 2 different sets of birthday hat, bib and banner.  I figure one I will use for the cake smash picture and the 2nd for his actual birthday.  Here is some of my inspiration...








This is the backdrop style I'm thinking about purchasing, not sure if the yellow works but I like the chevron print.  Is this too busy with the bib and hat I'm thinking about???


The monkey hat is one of the ideas as a picture that will go on the birthday invitations.


The bib will actually be the gingham as the main print and the dots as the #1


Same hat, it will just say "Brennan."

Swimming!

Today Brennan had a blast swimming with daddy!  He did 3 submersions and was unphased at all.  He also had a great time moving his arms and legs "trying to swim."  He especially loved mat time and was swinging his hand like crazy and smacking the mat.

Weekend Review:

Saturday:
Brennan had his swim lesson at 9:30 a.m.   He had a great time as usual swinging his arms and trying to kick his feet.  He got to go under the water 2 times!  Each time he went under he was just like "cool."  This kid loves the water.  He is not like his mommy. 



After the swim lesson, we went to Best Buy so Dave could meet with the guy that is putting together our media room in the basement.  It sounds like it will be done in time for the Super Bowl.  Woot woot!!  We then went home and relaxed.  After that it was Gymboree time, Brennan had a good time staring at everyone.  After Gymboree, Ceamone came over and watched Brennan so Mommy and Daddy could have a date night.  Brennan LOVES Ceamone and his face lit up when  he saw her and he kept giving her hugs.  She did an amazing job and we will definitely be using her to babysit again.

Sunday:

We tried out a new church and then worked around the house.  So much to organize!!!  And Daddy put together Brennan's jumperoo, HE LOVES it!!!



Hope everyone had a great weekend!!!

Brennan Cutting 2nd Tooth

Last night was a rough night in the Meschke house.  Little man is in the process of cutting his 2nd bottom tooth and it is rough on him.  Poor little guy woke up screaming at 3 a.m and never really fell asleep again.  He woke up this morning with a fever, so mommy stayed home to take care of him.  He seems to be feeling better!  This cutting teeth stuff is rough!

Welcome

Today is my first post on our new blog.  I thought this would be a good place to find out what is going on with the Meschke family.  You know that Tempy and Pedro are always up to no good! 


Brennans 7 month update:

Brennan turned 7 months December 31st and he is so much fun! 

Milestones:  He is sitting up unassisted.   He is also eating solids, so far oatmeal, avocado and sweet potato.  He can roll over tummy to back and back to tummy and he is attempting to army crawl.  He is also good at dragging toys towards him and moving them from one hand to another.  He also loves to follow the dogs around.  A fun new thing he is doing, is he throws his hands up if he wants to be held. 

Temperment:  He is a very happy baby!

Sleeping: He is sleeping through the night, with some rare exceptions when he was sick.

Teeth: Yep!  He has one..

Here are some recent pictures...
