Behind Bars...

Mommy took this picture of me this morning. I woke up, looked around and saw no one in my room, so I started making some noise but still no one showed up, (mommy says she was washing dishes). So I decided to take a peek to see where mommy was. I crawled over to the side of my crib and pulled myself up. When mommy walked in she was so surprised to see me kneeling and holding myself up like that. When I saw her I smiled and laughed and she must have thought it was cute because the next thing I knew she was running into the room with a camera. So I posed, like I normally do. We're so silly sometimes.

I spent the day at the mall and had lunch with Aunty Joe and then we came home. I was so tired that I fell asleep a little early, and then woke up shortly after. I had fun in my bath with mommy and daddy and daddy even brushed my teeth! I crashed out pretty hard about a half hour later.

Maybe I'll surprise mommy tomorrow morning and STAND in my crib, she'll love that!

Whoa, how did those get there?

This is what it looks like when you've just realized that you have shoes on your feet! It was fascinating...and then I tried to eat them. Those dogs deserved it...

Today...

This was me this morning. This is my favorite pose, it was no accident that I was sitting like this! I didn't even realize that mommy put shoes on my feet, and when I turned around those puppies were staring right at me!

Who you callin' active?

Don't mind me while I crawl and climb. I like to stretch out my legs and practice standing whenever I get the chance. I'll be walking before you know it!

Healthy gums start early!

Last night was the first time I had my teeth brushed. At first I didn't know what to make of the pokey bristles, but I got used to it. Now I like to grab the toothbrush and help mommy brush my two little teeth. Mommy says we have to be careful because I tend to try to put the brush in too far or bite on it.

Catching up with me...

Well, it's been a long time since I've blogged. My first Christmas has come and gone and to sum it up, I was pretty spoiled! I got everything I wanted and I even got some things that I didn't know existed! As you can see in the picture above, mommy and daddy got some new safety gates for Christmas since I decided to start crawling on Christmas day, what a gift that was, right? I am now crawling with ease these days, and if there is a remote control that is carelessly left on the carpet, I am going to get it!
I was busy nursing mommy back to health over the past week and a half, and now it's her turn to nurse me back to health. I felt a little under the weather last night, and got a little feverish. Mommy gave me some Tylenol and I felt a little better and managed to sleep until 7am. I started to feel hot again later this morning, and was given a little more Tylenol. Daddy felt so sorry for me that he let me nap in his arms. I think he did it because mommy was out running errands, otherwise, she would have told him to put me in my crib. But, I liked to sleep in daddy's arms, and I slept for almost two hours. I slept a lot today and finally felt more like myself lter in the afternoon. I played for a little bit and laughed when mommy stuck her tongue out at me and shook her head. But now it's past my bedtime, so I better end this blog. Mommy wants to go and watch her hockey game too, and daddy is going to come home from work soon.

I'll try to keep updating this blog, but when mommy gets busy with work, she can't proofread and edit my entries, so I am stuck!

Take care,
Love,
Brandon

Happy About my New Tooth!

Even though it hurts more than you know, I can still smile about my new tooth! It finally came through yesterday. It must have come out overnight because I went to bed with nothing but swollen gums, and yesterday morning a little bud of a tooth was poking out! Yet another milestone!
Oh, the reason for my nakedness in this picture is because I insisted on helping mommy feed me and we both managed to get oatmeal and applesauce everywhere! It was time for a change anyway, I was still in my pajamas.

Everyone says I look just like my daddy, but personally, I think I look like my mommy :)

My first foods...

I started eating foods other than oatmeal on Friday, December 21st. They tried to feed me something they called avocados, and at first I was so excited when I saw my bowl that I opened up wide and took a big mouthful. It turned out to be the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. I didn't like it at all, and I spit every last bit of it back out at mommy. She tried again, and it made me gag! Next, they disguised the avocado by mixing it with my oatmeal, and although I could tell there was something different about it, I ate it anyway. The next day, I ate the green tinged oatmeal and actually enjoyed it. Then I tried applesauce for the first time, and I didn't like that it was different at first and made a face that everyone thought was funny. It didn't take me long to realize that applesauce is really the bomb, and now I gobble it right up! At first, I would cry when they didn't feed me fast enough, and then I would cry when I ran out of food to eat!
These days I am eating a variety of different foods such as prunes, green beans and sweet potatoes. Mommy feeds me my oatmeal mixed with fruit in the morning, then I have some sweet potatoes for lunch, followed by green beans for dinner. I really love my new menu, and can't wait to try other things! When we went to the store, mommy almost got me some guava and mango, but she realized it was a 2nd stage food, so it looks like I will have to wait for my exotic fruits!

Baby, it's cold outside!

This is my new bundle-me sack that I can use in my stroller and carseat to keep me warm when we walk Kona. I love going for walks with mommy and Kona, but it does get cold in the evening these days, which is why I am glad we have this! Don't I look thrilled to be in it?
