Watch Brenden Grow!

2/4/10
Brenden is 7 months old! And if you can't tell from this picture which was taken 2 weeks ago (the drool all over his shirt), his first tooth finally came through this past Saturday!  He's becoming quite the mover, he army crawls like his sister used to and is getting himself all over the place.  I forget what it was like to have everything baby proofed! He also is babbling a lot and we hear "mama",  especially when he's crying, but I don't think he actually knows what he's saying. :) And even though we just cut his hair a month ago, he's already looking like he needs a trim again! And his hair is getting a little curly.  Wouldn't it be ironic if my boy has cute curly hair while my girl has stick straight hair?

I'm sure you've all been wondering where Brenden's 5 and 6 month pictures are - well here you go! The wait is over. :)
Wow! 6 months old!  It just goes by so fast! Brenden is becoming quite the little boy - as I write this, he is sitting in his exersaucer bouncing up and down as hard as he can and banging on the toys along the tray.  I don't remember Kaelyn really ever being like that. :)  He has been rolling since about 4 1/2 months and at 5 1/2 months was able to sit by himself, although he has had his share of tipping over.  He is starting to inch along just a little - not crawling, but enough that he doesn't stay in one spot for very long anymore.  He has started solid foods and gets so excited about eating.  No teeth yet, but I'm hoping that they arrive shortly because I definitely think he's teething.  He is still our sweet, smiley, laid back little boy, and it is so fun to see his personality emerge more and more.

Poor Brenden, the second child! I haven't updated this since he was a month old - but, I have been taking pictures along the way, so all is not completely lost!! Here are his 2nd, 3rd, and 4th month pictures. What a big boy he is becoming! He smiles and laughs all the time. He is such a laid back and easygoing baby, he is such a joy and delight to have around. He has really made having 2 babes easy on me (his sister on the other hand, is another story!) :) In typical boy (and probably second child too) fashion, he is a little slow on his motor development. He has only rolled over from his tummy to his back one time, where Kaelyn was rolling at 2 1/2 months. But, he is putting everything in his mouth, and loves it when Kaelyn plays with him - she makes him laugh and smile more than anyone else. He's our little buddy Bren, and we love him so much!

A little late, but here are pictures of Brenden when he was a week old. I wanted to post these to show how much he has already grown! We had his one month appointment last week and he weighed 10 lbs 4 oz.!! He gained over 2 lbs in just 3 weeks!

One Week Old

We started a tradition with Kaelyn of taking her picture every month on her "month birthday" in this chair with the soccer ball - to watch how she was growing. We want to continue that tradition with Brenden. It will be fun to see how much they look alike, and how close in size they will be - do you think Brenden will be bigger because he's a boy? We'll see!
