I can't believe May is already over and that little Brendan is almost 1 year old! Time really does fly! Brendan hasn't changed too much this month. He is definitely "talking" a lot more and squirmy as ever - getting into everything and constantly exploring. Here he is in his cute hat that his grandma bought for him. I used to think it looked goofy, but Eddie loves it. It's the only hat Brendan will leave on his head, and now that it's sunny, that works for me! ( :
I wouldn't say Brendan loves being in water, but he tolerates it! We bought this water table for him (yay Craiglist!) and take him to the swimming pool often. He always seems confused rather than interested but we are hoping he'll turn into a Water Baby one of these days! Yes, he stands up all the time but he can't do it without holding on to something. He walks while holding on to the couch, so maybe unsupported walking is coming soon!
Man, does this kid love to eat! No one could ever call Brendan a fussy eater, which makes things easy for Eddie and I. Here he is eating avocado which he loves to smear all over himself - usually some makes it into his mouth as well. And don't you dare eat in front of him if he doesn't get to eat! Whenever there is food around, he comes right over going "Mmmmm! Mmmmm!" and then usually freaks out. We think he learned this trick from Sam. It's really pretty funny but makes eating in restaurants pretty impossible.!As if May wasn't crazy enough with 4 weddings and 1 charity event, Eddie and I decided to put our house up for sale to try and capitalize on the low interest rates and low housing prices in order to upgrade to a bigger model. We plan to stay in the North Dallas area, but we expect that our house will take quite awhile to sell seeing as how it looks like a million other houses in Frisco. Work for Eddie is still a daily beating as companies have not started to rehire. We did manage to sneak away for a weekend to Charleston, SC to see our Army friend Dave Uthlaut get married and spend time with our good friend Erik. All in all, it was a crazy month and I'm looking forward to a more relaxing June!
