Week 21 - almost caught up!

It's now the end of week 22 and I'm just getting last week's pictures up.  I'm happy to say I'm back to only being one week behind!  This was the week of the teething (though the tooth didn't come through until this past Thursday), and the week of the tongue.  He really found it this week, and started sticking it out in lots of funny ways.  Here are some (OK lots) of the highlights from this week.  He's just so cute, I can't leave anything out!  But the biggest change for the week is sitting up!  He's sitting up and playing on his own now. 

Toes.  Always toes.  In any position, at any time of the day.

Our future doctor, and his Daddy, the future doctor.  How cute.  

 Brian loves cats!  We can't have one with Cory's allergies, but Grandma Amy has a neighbor with a cute one.  Brian loves to pet Kinsie, but she isn't too sure about his "petting."

Lounging.

And playing.

And sticking his tongue out.

 And practicing to crawl.

 And riding on Mama's legs.  Giddy Up!

And rocking in the hallway with Daddy

Playtime - sitting up on my own!

Random "Good Morning, Mama" cuteness thanks to Grandma Amy

Teething - poor baby.

In my Star Trek uniform.  Last time we took pictures in this was week 4 - Halloween.

 

 Sitting with the froggy.  He loves this one - a present from Thomas and Lauren.

 

And more random sitting up and playing pictures - it just doesn't get any cuter!

 And last, but certainly not least - Daddy playing Stitch!

Week 20

So here are some pictures from week 20.  I'm so behind that I can't remember the funny stories and new things except where I have pictures - so we'll just launch into the pictures. :)

Miscellaneous fun with Mama

New carseat - Brian hates to have to lay back so the old infant seat just wasn't working.  This new big boy carseat is much better!

I threw my back out over the weekend, so I stayed home from work one day and played with Brian.  Here we are "working" on the computer together. 

Random eating of the fist - it just tastes so good!  Too bad he can't get it all in his mouth at one time. Not for lack of trying though ...

Here we were heading out for a walk.  The "Grandpa's fishing buddy" hat is a little too big still, but works well for keeping the sun out.  And the sun glasses are perfect.  :)

We got a new hat to try out for walks.  It's a little big, but it works pretty well - after some fine-tuning that is.

Now that Brian is sitting up so well, we've started using the high chair as a place where he can sit and play. 

Here you can see our little bugger playing in his swing.  You can't leave him along for even a second anymore - he wants to sit forward and check out everything from his feet to the floor. 

A random game of...

Head:

Shoulders:

Knees:

& Toes:

And some more cute shots from that morning.

Brian wants to crawl so bad.  Here he is trying to figure out how to get mobile.  One of these days, very soon, we won't be able to get him to stay in one place!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Some cute pictures of Brian with his Daddy!

Grandma Amy holding the little man.

Ah, it's so wonderful holding the sleeping boy.  Here he is curled up with me (and the bunny!).

Miscellaneous cuteness ...

We are going to need a jungle gym when we get moved to El Paso. Brian tries to crawl/climb everything.  He certainly has gotten good at using the toy-holding bars to scoot himself around.
