Brandt Man

Our sweet sweet little boy! Brandt, born December 4, 2012, is our wonderful surprise. He is the absolute best baby anyone could ask for. He has always been a great sleeper, never having his days & nights confused and not hard to put to sleep. He has mastered sitting up and is currently working on crawling. He does, however, have his little army crawl that he uses to get around. He loves his big sister and imitates her when possible and always wants to see what she is up to! He has the most adorable laugh and a smile that melts your heart. He has alot of his daddy's features which means he will be a heart-breaker for sure! Brandt, like his sister, is a breastfed baby. I made the choice to breastfeed Brynna and although it didn't last long, I new it was something I was going to do with Brandt. Aside from food and cereal, he has been exclusively breastfed for almost 8 months!!! Brandt has been a great blessing/addition to our family, besides it helps make the house equal (2 males 2 females). Brandt started having food around 6 months and loves it!!! He has not been accustom to some fruits, he gets a real soured face, but overall he eats everything you put in front of him!!He looks up to his big sister and she absolutely adores him! They play so well together and I can't wait to see how good they play once he starts walking and when they are older!! Brandt Neal Foster, daddy, Brynna, & I love you to the moon & back!!!!!!

Brynna Brynna

This little princess who graced her presence with the world on March 18, 2011! Brynna is now almost 2 1/2 years old. She has a very independent personality. I have come to that conclusion because there is not a door in the house she can't open. She can open doors with the child proof covers on or with the deadbolts locked. She can even open the garage door. Oh and if she wants something to eat and she sees that mommy or daddy whit are busy, then she gets a chair from the kitchen table and pushes it over to the pantry and gets what she wants out. This is how she has managed to have Oreo cookies for breakfast. She can't quite get the refrigerator door opened yet, thank goodness, but I feel the day is coming. As this independent personality sometimes feels like a curse, like I am definitely paying for my raising, it's also a blessing. Brynna loves to help do laundry, dishes, cleaning the house, and help out with little brother. When I dust she likes to go around with the dry duster and get the dust off all the furniture. Brynna likes to load the dishwasher, I do have to rearrange a few items after she is finished, lol. Aside from her personality she has the cutest smile, which you can now see so much better since we have completely given up the Paci!!!!!!!!!  Brynna up until this past weekend has been addicted to her Paci. She would have to carry around multiple ones. She had it with her all the time, so you can see how it's a big deal that she doesn't have them anymore. It was an easier process that I thought it would be and we are relieved!! There is so much joy this little girl has brought into my life in just the short amount of time she has been alive. I love her so much and eagerly anticipate what she sill say, do, or come up with next!! Brynna Cecile Irvin- Daddy Whit, Brandt and I love you with all of our hearts!!!!

 

Our Story

Recently, I tied the knot with my first love, Whitley Foster!! Whitley and I started dating about 11 years ago, right after we meet at our schools Homecoming Dance. I, being the extrovert individual that I am, wanted to dance (we were at a dance after all). I saw this handsome guy standing to the side, so I decided to ask him to dance. His version is a bit different, he will tell you I just grabbed him, lol. Anyways, after dancing the night away I was head over heels!! After dating for awhile we called it off, being young and immature could probably be to blame. Years went by, we both went on with our lives, but  1 1/2 years ago our lives crossed paths. Long story short we are happily married with two children. Brynna, an independent 2 year old, is my daughter from a previous marriage that has taken to Whitley and loves being his little helper. She is the best big sister to Whitley & my little boy. Brandt, who will be a year old in December, was a pleasant surprise and has been a blessing to our family!
