Happy Mother's Day!!!

My husband made this incredible video for me for Mother's Day and I would like to share it with my Mom and all the mother's that view this blog. This was my first Mother's Day and I couldn't be happier.

This an abbreviated version of the video, but it's still great. Enjoy!

"Daddy Please Stop Taking My Picture"


This will be the most photographed child ever, but how can you resist when he's so cute? Look at those cheeks!

Nightly Perspective

"Get Up...Get Up... Get Up...It's time for you to feed me", Braylon communicates to me every morning around 3:30am. Tonight I beat him to the punch by nursing him before he was fully awake and screaming in cries because I didn't know my cue. What you don't know about this parenting thing, 'Mother Nature' teaches you.

Yes, we are getting the hang of this parenting thing. I am realizing that this is the easy part. I fight constantly to keep the fearful thoughts at bay of what may happen the first time he goes to the park or daycare for that matter. I know I can't protect him from everything, and I am reminded everyday that my faith and trust must be in God to protect him; otherwise I would go crazy trying to control everything which is humanly impossible and exhausting. However, I will always do my best and will try to spend more time enjoying him instead of worrying.
He's back to sleep now, so I suppose I better get some shut-eye as well.

First Day Blogging!

How cool is this! It's my first day blogging. I am so excited b/c I have another avenue to express myself and share our lives with our family and friends. I named my blog 'meandtheturnerboyz' b/c I am the wife of Tony, mother of Braylon, and pet owner of Marlo--no shortage of testosterone in this household.

Braylon is sleeping now, but he didn't go down easily. Whomever said babies sleep all the time lied or I should say for my baby this isn't true. At a month and a half he is already demanding playtime. After a nap he eats; has about 2-3 diaper changes and depending on how the diaper changes go--possibly a bath; he plays, eats some more, and then maybe he will fall asleep.

I am so blessed to be able to spend this time with him; I wouldn't want to be any other place right now. I am gaining some independence. Today Tony watched him while I went on a 2 mile walk with a friend; sometimes I run errands just to get out of the house; and now we go to church pretty regularly. I never dreamed I'd be able to stay home with my child this long--Thank you God!
