This month we are definitely noticing how BIG Brendan is getting! His appetite is increasing and he is almost completely weaned off of baby food. He is getting closer to walking everyday and keeps trying to balance on his own. He still is full of smiles and laughter as you can see below!
Apparantly Brendan has gotten over his fear of the ballpit! Or perhaps he just prefers this new container! Whatever the reason, he dives into this thing like it was a swimming pool, and I spend a large part of everyday picking the balls up from all over the house! Speaking of the swimming pool, we take him regularly and he seems to actually like it now!
Although Eddie will never admit it, I know he is really glad we had a boy! After all, it would be tough for a girl to pull off Baby Batman like this. ( : In case you didn't know, his entire room is decorated in Superheroes. I think Eddie wishes that is how our room was decorated as well. Here Brendan is ready to jump in the Batmobile to save Gotham City...lol!
This month Brendan's cousin Gabriel came to visit from Denver while my brother Seth and his wife Lindsey were on vacation. Gabriel wasn't always a happy camper while he was here, but he and Brendan kept laughing at each other which was so cute. He is already walking, so maybe Brendan absorbed some of those great motor skills that my brother's kids both have!
Thanks to Andrea for letting me borrow this livesaver of a double stroller. The boys loved it, so we spent a lot of time going on walks, as you can see from their rosy cheeks from being outside in the hot Texas sun!And, as I type this at 11:15 p.m., it is crazy to think that in exactly one hour my little baby will be a year old! Time goes by so fast, and we have been blessed with a wonderful baby and a wonderful year. And it is also very exciting to think that this June I am not walking around with 35 lbs of fluid in my legs and stomach! Ha! Summer is much more fun when you are not pregnant!
Next month....pics from Brendan's 1st Birthday! Aunt CeCe said it best, "I think it's so cool that he will always get fireworks on his birthday!"
