last night, finally, i got a break and remembered what it was like again to be twenty or just "Roya" and without the mom title. these times don't happen too often but it was well worth the once weekly outing i get. we ventured to our local bowling alley with our little group, which included, Jordan, Ian, Seth, Tara and myself. i was quite surprised to literally see, half of vero crammed into the bowling alley..i'm starting to think the bowling alley is the new thing on wednesday night, but, you can't beat $1 a game, $1 shoe rental and of course Seth loved $1 beers.

 i am clearly no pro at bowling, honestly it's seriously not my forte but it was actually really fun, i'm starting to think this needs to be a weekly routine of something to do, seeing as there's not much to do around here. the whole night, i wanted to kind of avoid people since there was a few people i knew there. i'm sorry, i'm just not one to see people i use to be friends with, don't like, or anything usually when i'm out. normally there's just some type of confrontation, and i'm just not about that anymore. there's a part of life where you grow up and would avoid it at all costs since there's more important things in your life.

But, today Seth and I took Brody for his 4 month appointment, if anyone can tell you this, let it be me. Seeing your child get shots hurts you more than them. Sure, Brody had a mental breakdown for about 20 minutes but even now just thinking about hearing him cry like that and seeing the nurses hold him down to give him six different shots..well, it wasn't the most pleasant experience. But, otherwise, Brody is one huge little 4 month old now! As you can all see now!

Look at this cute little Buddha! Brody now weights 20 lbs 6 oz and he's 26 inches long. Meaning, he's in the 95th percentile for his age, and he's way above how big most babies are at 4 months old. I get the feeling, he's going to be one big boy, not even in weight just length. He's the size of a 12 month old already!

After his doctor's appointment, my mom took Brody so Seth and I could do a few errands, get some food and I could take him home. We got Brody a whole bunch of things at Target, I've gotten tired of onesy and we've moved onto just t-shirts and shorts for summer and two piece pajamas for bed. He's getting too big for most stores, I get the feeling by the end of the summer we'll be in toddler sizes. Which I have no problems with, I enjoy buying for him more than myself. He got his first pair of Thomas the Train pajamas too but they're in the wash so I don't have a picture of them yet! Of course, diapers and formula came with it, along with more infant's Tylenol.

And the one thing mommy got today was this beautiful, amazing, bag that I'm head over heels in love with from Target for only $8! what a steal and you know i couldn't pass this up. (i'm also noticing i'm going back and forth between typing in proper "etiquette" for typing on a computer or writing in general to just me being one lazy son of a bitch) either way, i need to eventually get some sleep tonight. i felt like busting this update out since, well, for once i'm keeping up with a "blog" type thing..amazingly. it's something to pass the time when Brody is sleeping.
