Week 32 - water baby!

During week 32 (May 9-15), we put Brian in the pool for the first time, and he loved it!  He's definitely a water baby.  Here are pictures from this week, and a couple of videos.  Enjoy...


Here's a video of Brian splashing in the pool with Daddy.

And  some pictures of the pool time.










Sitting in his chair (watching Star Trek - what else?)

Miscellaneous cuteness...


Grocery Shopping - Brian is such a help.  It's like having a supervisor along ... :)

Out walking with Mama.

Playing with (or maybe torturing?) Walter at dinner.

With Daddy at dinner.   He was making friends with the folks at the next table over.


Random picture of Brian with me and my Mom.

Brian playing with Papa Chuck after work

Behold, the joys of eating!  There's Peas, and carrots.  And yogurt all over the table!


And last but not least, a sweet video of Brian with his Daddy.

Week 31 - forward progress

OK, I'm trying to get caught up.  Here are pictures and a video from week 31 (5/2-8).  We discovered that Brian really liked Cory's black and yellow shoe laces - great motivation for making forward progress with crawling.  Now he's definitely mobile.  Here's the cutie ...

First, the video of Brian ready to crawl.  He actually crawled quite a bit this day, but I didn't get a good video of it.

And some pictures of the fun ... In the last one he's looking up at Papa Chuck


Daddy pulling Brian in his basket/sled.  This corner was a little fast ...



Laundry baskets make great toy bins!

Enjoying his yogurt ...

What an expressive boy!

Misc. cute pics in his crib

And then, Gram, you put the lid on like this ...  He just looks like he's giving a demonstration  here

Happy Boy!  He's completely grown out of his little bouncy seat now.  We've had many good times with this thing - definitely saved us a few times!  Thanks, Uncle Scott.

Give my regards to the chef ...

My first Mothers' Day with Brian in my arms.  Here's a picture of the three generations ...

I love this set of pictures.  Brian decided this toy was too far away.  He leaned over and grabbed it, then pulled it to where he wanted it.  :)

Random cuteness...

More of "the best toys aren't toys"

Walter was getting a makeover.  He looks so serious here!

Brian insists on sitting sideways in the basket so he can see where we're going.

Here he's holding onto my Zags hat for me ... thanks Brian!

8 months old!

Brian is 8 months old today!  We had a wonderful day today with friends out at the pool.  Brian is so wonderful ... everyone loves him!

I know I'm 4 weeks (or maybe more) behind on pictures, and I'm really going to try to get some up this weekend.  He's changed so much!  Totally mobile, so much fun, and with a mouthful of teeth.  He does new and fun things every day!  Today we've been enjoying him shaking his head.  It's so cute the way he does it!
