I FINALLY Made It!

Ten years, a wedding, and a baby later, I finally graduated from college on Saturday. I was the first person in my family to graduate with a bachelors degree. The graduation ceremony made me want to go back for a masters degree but I have no desire to do any more school work. I think one day I may do an online program for a master's degree in reading. We'll see though. I spent Saturday with my family. Krystin had everyone over for dinner. Even my dad and grandmother came which was a surprise because my dad doesn't go out later in the day because of the heat. He can't be in the heat because of his paralysis. My aunt came from Tennessee to celebrate the day with us. It was a great, relaxing night! Last night we had some friends and family over. It was a fun night and I am so grateful for everyone that came.

Brigham has also graduated to holding his own bottle! He has been doing it for about 2 weeks now. He had been putting his hands on his bottle while I was holding it for a while but if I would let go, the bottle would fall. All of a sudden one day he was able to hold it up on his own. The best part is is we are out and it is time to eat, I can just lay the back of his stroller down and he will just feed himself. This is my favorite part of his new skill
On Friday, Brigham measured at 19.2 pounds and 27.5 inches long. His weight is in the 50th percentile for his age and his length is in the 75th percentile. He is growing so fast. We look forward to him being able to walk and run so we can chase him and play more. I also look forward to playing with him at Carowinds all summer! I can't wait to put this season pass to good use. I also hope that I can find a swing for him to hang up between 2 of our trees. I think he would enjoy swinging and I want to give him as much outside fun time as possible. I will probably get him a small kiddie pool also.
