March 2009

It's so funny how fickle babies can be! At my friend Leah's house, Brendan absolutely loved playing in the ball pit. So, of course, I went out and bought a bag of balls (which aren't cheap by the way!). When we got home and put Brendan in the pit, this was his reaction

He was completely frozen and stayed in this position for like 30 seconds. It was hilarious! Now he just crawls out of the ball pit as fast as he can.

Brendan hasn't really changed too much this month. He continues to crawl and pull up on everything in sight. His new favorite activities are tearing apart magazines and attempting to eat the pages, watching the dogs fight and laughing hysterically, wrestling with Eddie, and making a sound that sounds like a roar. It's pretty cute.

Also, he is getting one of his top teeth; however, it's a side tooth, not one of the front ones. It looks pretty funny. I think we are going to start having to call him Cletus the Slack Jawed Yokel (watch The Simpsons!)

Super Baby! Here's Brendan imitating the super heroes who are all over his bedroom! He loves to reach for things that are far away from him such as the toys in the bathtub and the water in the toilet. Ew.

Two words every mother should know: CRAIG'S LIST! That is where I get most of Brendan's gear including the jogging stroller seen here! Unfortunately, the desire to jog is not available to purchase on Craig's List, but it makes for some nice walks to the park! ( :

Everyone begs for food in our house! Ha ha! Poor Sam was bestowed with the shock collar this month, though our sweet little dimwit Beagle doesn't seem to figure out the correllation. Ahh....he truly is like Lenny from Of Mice and Men, and he ate my copy of that book this month. There's irony for ya.

In other Commender family news, Eddie's job totally sucks right now as corporate recruiting is rather difficult when there are no jobs to recruit for. He is hanging in there, but it's not very much fun for him to go to work each day. At least he has happy little Brendan and his always cheerful wife to come home to. I'm here as well. ( :

Business is going well for me and I am very busy working on the charity gala that I am coordinating. If you'd like more information, visit www.soundsoftheseason.org.
