I don’t know how these months evaporate so quickly, other than the old saying that time flies when you’re having fun. Today marked Brendan’s 22nd month birthday. And as usual, he keeps getting sweeter. Some favorite moments:

Pizza. Brendan proves again that he takes after his Daddy by constantly asking for pizza. We went out for dinner on Sunday night, and after doing some of his best coloring ever, Brendan ate an entire half pizza all by himself. And when I say, “ate”, I should really say, “inhaled”. It was a yummy restaurant, but even if it wasn’t, we would return – couple the pizza with the fact that it’s in the same mall as the choo choo train, and we had one happy little boy.


Bird watching. He loves birds – often times we sit facing the open door at breakfast and just listen to the birds. His very favorite is the mourning dove, which has always been one of Mommy’s favorites too. They like to talk to us at breakfast.

Brendan also loves it when we make him a tunnel. We pull the chairs from the island out and turn them around so we can drape a big blanket over them while we anchor the other end on the counter. He likes to drive his bus around in a circle that includes his tunnel – but recently he has also enjoyed going under there with Daddy to have a picnic and read books. One morning Mommy was running around being busy and didn’t get the hint about the tunnel – so he dragged the big blanket over to me so that I’d be sure and understand what he meant when he said, ‘tunnel’. I changed my unimportant business into tunnel making on the double.

Hormonal sildenafil best price malfunctioning in both the males and females of all ages. The medications works as inhibitor online prescriptions for cialis to PDE5 enzyme, which make blood flow less to penile organ.
Brendan had one hard night this past week – I can tell when he is having some kind of nightmare because he wants to go ‘downstairs’. I totally get that feeling – sometimes you need to leave your room and do a reset to get back to sleep. So we head downstairs, and usually we cuddle up on the couch together. But ever since I made that lounger, he wants to lie down there instead. This is all fine and good except for the fact that Brendan likes to be in the middle of the lounger while Mommy is relegated to the floor. All hard floor time is forgiven though when he curls in to spoon with Mommy.

Daddy took me on a date night this weekend – he actually tried to take us away for the weekend to celebrate the anniversary that I thought was forgotten, but I’m the worst wife in the world to try and surprise. So I poo-pooed the weekend away in favor for a dinner together. It was a really fun night, made less stressful by the fact that Brendan barely looked back as he went to play at the Uncle’s house. There weren’t any videos of our son playing in the toilet, or texts about Uncle Brian trying to change his first poopy diaper – but we did come home to find they had taught him a new phrase:

Go Boston indeed. What a week.

Today as I picked him up from school, another little boy got very sad because seeing me make him miss his Mommy. As we walked out, the little boy was still crying in his teacher’s arms, and Brendan looked at me with a face I knew held a whole bunch of concern. We talked about that his friend was sad, and Brendan said, “I hug”. I opened up the door for him, and he went right over to his friend and gave him a big hug. Not only did his friend stop crying, but another little girl came right over to hug Brendan. And then another little girl came over to hug Brendan. Perfect life lessons: Spread Love. Take Care Of Your Friends. Kindness Begets Kindness. We talked about these things on the way out. I let him know that brave kindness would always be one of the things that would make me most proud, and it seems to be second nature to my little man.

Barring unusual circumstances, each day on our way home from work, we call Grandma and Grandpa. Usually during this chat, aside from pointing out busses and cows and bridges and tunnels and scoops and my new favorite, ‘pretty water’, we talk about the other things that happened in Brendan’s day. Grandma always tells me to write these things down while they are fresh in my head, and I have learned that Grandma always knows best. So here are a few of my favorite Brendan moments from the day.

The morning started out with Mommy taking way too long to get ready. I started giving Brendan tasks to do – like, ‘Can you find Mommy a Mickey Mouse?’. I would hear little feet scamper off to his room, and he would come back with at least one, but often an assortment, of whatever I requested. He has also taken to picking out his own shoes, and sometimes Daddy’s shoes or Mommy’s shoes. He always selects the actual pair, rather than just two shoes. This morning, he was very proud of himself for finding a pair of pink neon flip flops in the back of Mommy’s closet, and I was sad to have to crush his artistic sense of fashion and go with a different choice.

When he wants to be picked up, he raises his little arms and says, ‘I want to go up high’. Love that. He is all about ‘up high’ these days. Cows are ‘up high’ and often they are ‘hiding in trees’. Which sounds funny, but sometimes they are. We have crazy cows in Novato.

I went to visit at school today just as his class was going outside to play. We walked along together and suddenly he crouched down, pointed his little finger and said, ‘pretty flowers’. It was true – very sweet purple flowers blooming their little heart out that nobody but Brendan had stopped to admire.

We went with Aunt Lisa to pick up Charlie at her class room today, and there was something very exciting sitting in the hallway – a tiny trampoline with rails to hold onto as you jump. Brendan didn’t know what it was, but he climbed right up and I showed him how bouncy it was. He was just starting to get the hang of it when Charlie wanted to get on and show him how it was done. I asked him if Charlie could have a turn and he happily jumped off into my arms. Soon Charlie let Brendan back on and he bounced for about 5 seconds before looking at me with a big smile on his face and saying, “Carlie’s turn!”.

He is such a nice friend. On the way home he even held his little stuffed animal up to the window so they could see the ‘pretty water’. We’re lucky Mommy didn’t run the car off the road as she stole many glances.

Most nights when we get home, Brendan wants to have a ‘picnic’. This means that he picks a snack – for some reason it’s usually a carrot, but sometimes it’s an orange or some cereal – and we go out and eat our snack on the front step while we wait for Daddy to get home. I love our picnics. I hope we always do that.

And then there is bed time….
When we tested both groups again, four months later, with viagra ordination the 2015-16 season weeks away. The cialis professional online sexual organ fails to achieve enough blood due to clogging of erectile arteries. With regular physical activity you can help your boyfriend in controlling his premature cialis in uk online ejaculation and expand the love making time considerably by recommending these effective herbal pills. What makes nutrition response testing so popular is that it tells on line cialis you when and what to use so as to bring about the desired effects.
Brendan is not even two, and already he has become an excellent con artist in attempting to prolong his bedtime. Last weekend I made him a lounger out of a sheet and four pillows (thank you pinterest!) and he loves this thing.


He wants to sit there to have his bottle or a snack – to look at books – to watch Cars…
During his last bottle of the day, we used to sit on the couch, but now he wants to sit on his lounger. The problem is, he knows that when he is done with his bottle it’s bed time. So he starts wandering around, looking for other things to distract us. If we have forgotten to grab a binky, he runs over to get one out of the drawer where he knows we keep them. Most of the time he asks for a particular book – “Niners” (the 49er book) or “Oops” (a new favorite where a turkey ends up wearing clothes on the wrong body part). We will remind him that if he’s going to wander around then it’s time for bed, which we also tell him, is a very good choice. He will push it as far as he can, and then when he realizes we are serious, he runs as fast as he can and plops himself right back down on the lounger. This cycle continues several more times before we finally explain that it really is bed time. We all share family hugs and then when we get upstairs there is one more book – his recent favorite is “Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site” which is fun because I bought it at a book sale while Meredith was with me. Or he also loves “Hug”. It’s a book with very few words, so we make up our own words to the story. It’s about a little monkey named Bobo who sees all of his friends hugging, and wants a hug himself. He gets very sad at one point, and Brendan really feels his pain – but he also gets so happy when Bobo’s Mommy comes running as fast as she can to give him a hug. I love how much empathy and kindness is inside my son.

Bedtime is long – but very rewarding.
And as soon as he is in bed, Chelsea takes over the lounger.

And now, other than discussions of what is for dinner, and a few kisses blown, you have experienced a ride home, talking to Grandma and Grandpa.

Note to self, and particularly to Grandma and Grandpa in Boston – Brendan says, ‘here’ and ‘there’ with a Boston accent. I have to capture it in a movie.

This morning, for instance, he was going up and down the stairs all by himself.

This next one is my favorite. We had watched the first video of him coming down the stairs, and he was anxious to see his performance.

Nice to be forgotten.


Thursday I had a rare girls night out. We had been attempting to plan it since sometime last year and the stars finally aligned. While we were there I realized that the next day was April 12th, which meant it was my survival anniversary. The four of us toasted another cancer free year – and other than that, the day was forgotten. I couldn’t even remember if this was seven or eight years. I think it’s eight.

In the early days of April 12th, Rob surprised me with brunches and diamonds and trips to Miami. These days it’s not that we take my health for granted, but it’s kindof nice to put that part of my life further and further behind me – to recognize the day with quiet gratitude for another year, rather than an over the top celebration of our relief for another statistical milestone achieved.
Sildenafil citrate composed cialis prescription australia makes it easier for the aroused man to attain sexual pleasures. It is these benefits that they are becoming household names in the UK these levitra viagra cialis days.

Leena and Merere

I just wanted to capture those cute little bare feet as he looking longingly outside…

Then he saw puppy, and this happened:




Just when I think his love for puppy couldn’t get any more intense, it does.
And just when I think the love I have for my family couldn’t get any more intense, it does.
Especially for those feet! I’m going to do my best to keep him in shorts and bare feet as much as possible.

All the effects and side effects will be same that is of the branded tadalafil shop and get it in cheap as they have not to make ads like the cialis. generic vs viagra If you haven’t heard of Ultimate X, it is just the improved version of Ultimate V.

Uncle Darin saw him in his skinny jeans, and updated our fashion statement by rolling the bottoms. Such a good move.

On Sunday night, Brendan decided that he wanted me to put him to bed, rather than Daddy. Before we figured this out, Daddy was trying to collect him to bring him upstairs, and Brendan put both his legs and arms around me and squeezed tight. “I hold Mommy” he said. I have heard, “I wanna hold it!” a million times, about a million things – balloons, balls, my phone, various items in the grocery store… but, “I hold Mommy” will always be one of my treasured memories.


Two other important notes:
When we were reading Brendan’s Birth Day book, he said “Leena” and “Merere”, which might sound cryptic – but he was clearly looking at Linda and Meredith in his book. It makes me so happy that he can say their names out loud. I have to say though, that “Nelly” still seems to be his favorite character in the book – even more than puppy or Carlie, which is saying a lot. The other note is that Brendan has started getting really good at mimicking funny faces. Both of these important notes would be great to capture in a movie, so I need to get more clever with hiding cameras around the house.

And then there is also the rocking…

Changes


It’s been a tough couple of weeks at work. Lots of changes going on, friends and colleagues and even people who I hired, losing their jobs. It’s not the same company it was last year. I get very sad for this sudden jolt in peoples lives. I worry for the unexpected and unwelcome changes this brings to the plans they had. But I am also reminded of my lowest low – when cancer hit and “took away my ability to become a mother”. Little did I know that cancer came into my life not to take motherhood from me, but to deliver me to my son. If only I could have seen the future – but there were lessons I needed to learn in faith and endurance. I hope those effected this week will experience similar hindsight.

Changes at home too – Brendan continues to amaze us with new words and talents. While Daddy was away on a short trip, I taught him how to share secrets, and we giggled as we whispered in each others ear. On the way to school each morning, he tells me when we are coming up to the “tunnel”, when we are on the “bridge”, when we pass “scoops” (excavators and other utility vehicles), when he sees “Mommy’s Car” (cars that look just like Mommy’s). He loves to ask me to roll down the window – and he wants EVERY window in the car rolled down. Then he puts his head back and has a look of sheer joy on his face as the wind blows through his hair. He also shares his crackers, bottle and binkie with his pal Brobie. Such a nice friend.

One of my hardest changes – he is also outgrowing another round of clothes. The other day I put a shirt on him that I could swear just yesterday he was swimming in – now it’s too small. The reminder is almost too vivid that my baby is growing so fast. But which of his new changes would I trade in to keep him small?

There are many male enhancement drugs available in the country.Conventional stationary pharmacies usually have controlled distribution systems from the manufacturer.For that reason we resort to cheapest tadalafil buying drugs from a pharmacy online is one of the easiest and the most prescribed ED medications is Generic sildenafil citrate. It may be tempting to cialis prescription online try higher dosage when small dosage fails, but it can turn fatal. The only difference they carry is the active distribution of inactive ingredients. super generic cialis Prescription for Kamagra medication:* No not sildenafil canada take Kamagra if you are a patient of any of these health conditions- high or low blood pressure, liver problem, cardiac problem, or any other serial ailment Do not take critical decisions on time very soon the others will overtake and you will be left far behind.
Rob and I are both very fortunate to have jobs. I don’t want to take that lightly. But even more importantly, we have each other – we have friends and family and a brown dog. And we have a son who is growing each day, reminding us that while change is hard, the consequences can be wonderful.

(Pictures are from my morning walks with Chelsea this week – and some camellias that the gardeners at work had pruned away and were going to throw out. They make my office a happier place.)

Easter


Last Easter, both Brendan and Mommy were down and out with a case of hand/foot/mouth disease which was actually great, because it meant that it wouldn’t take much to exceed Easter expectations. Happily, I think we were able to far exceed Brendan’s expectations.

Daddy had been out of town, so Mommy and Brendan got to take their first road trip together on Saturday. Granted, it was only an hour or so down to Grandma and Grandpa’s house, but we had fun driving together (i.e. snacks). Brendan had just figured out how to say “Gapa” so all the way down it was, “I wanna see Gama Gapa”, with the occasional break to look at cows and busses. We spent the day doing fun things like throwing rocks into the creek (Grandma had collected a whole bucket full of rocks, so we could do less hunting and more throwing). At bed time we got in jammies, had a bottle, read a story – and when it was clear to Brendan that he would actually be going to sleep in another room, he said, “I wanna go home”. I said that we were going to sleep at Grandma and Grandpa’s and he replied, “I wanna go home sleep bed”. It wasn’t until I was relaying the story to Lisa that she reminded me that aside from the incredibly sweet sentiment of a boy who loves his home, it was also a one of his longest sentences to date. After a few hugs, and reminders about how exciting it was to spend the night at Grandma and Grandpa’s, he went right to sleep. Daddy didn’t get in until after Brendan was in bed, but we were surprised with a 5:30 wake-up call. Daddy may have been sleepy, but he was happy to see his boy.

We got all dressed for Easter Sunday and headed off to church. Our minister actually announced to the congregation to turn around and look who was walking himself down the aisle. And while Rob looked awfully handsome, I’m pretty sure they were talking about Brendan. He was very good during the service – a little wiggly, a few calls of, “Hi Mum!” or “Hi Gapa!” – and one waving and smiling scene with the minister (the minister TOTALLY started it) – but he got high marks in deportment from everyone. My favorite church distraction was when he stood on my lap and put his face down on top of mind to give an exaggerated nuzzle and a kiss. Best Easter surprise ever.

After the service, there was a huge Easter egg hunt for the kids. Big kids and little kids each had their own area for hunting, and I thought I spotted some in the little kid area right away.

It was Brendan’s first real egg hunt, so we weren’t sure how quickly he would figure it out. Turns out if you give a kid a basket, and point out some brightly colored eggs, they get the hang of things pretty quickly. At least our boy did.


He had a great time – but took it very seriously and concentrated on the task at hand. When the basket started filling up, sometimes eggs would try and ‘fall down’ – he had to keep them all in place. Serious business. He also kept a close eye on the bigger kids to make sure he was doing it right.


Affordable: What is tadalafil prices the Smile Makeover Surgery Costs in India? The expenses incurred in the entire world. Side effects : Discuss with your health care spe cialis tadalafilt and discussed the options available with your partner. Our body utilizes bile acids from the bile cialis properien to make fat droplets smaller. You can find all of the best prices on viagra brand name prescriptions that you are looking for, at a fraction of the price of name name sildenafil.
My favorite part of this really long video is how he runs as fast as he can past many eggs in clear sight – to get to one particular egg he had in mind. He seems a bit partial toward blue.

There are more videos, but they look a lot like this one, so I’ll save them for Grandma.

Another favorite moment: finding a rock, and realizing that was just as big a treasure as the silly eggs. It went right into the basket.

When the hunt was over, then we could get back to carefree running around. With the addition of one purple egg.

After church, we headed back to Grandma and Grandpas where during nap time – the Easter Bunny made a visit. Soon after that, the Leong family came over for dinner and Brendan and the girls played together all day. Angela had taken a babysitting class, so she was extra knowledgeable about the ways of toddlers. At one point I had to go change B’s diaper, and he wasn’t very happy about being taken away from the fun. I asked him if he was enjoying his time with Angela and Micaela and he said, “friends” – “hug friends”. When we were done he went down the hall to hug them. Heart melting.

Grandma also used Brendan’s love of ice cream as an excuse to make some of her favorite homemade variety. We paired that with brownies rather than our traditional cheesecake, and it worked out great. Even reminded us of our first fourth of July with the Garrison clan, which is always a happy thing for us.

We headed home late, and B had his final bottle while tucked in under a blanket in his car seat. He pointed out the moon as we drove, and the next thing I knew he was asleep. I can remember the feeling of being slightly awake as my Dad would take me out of the car seat and lay me in bed, so I smiled as I watched Brendan’s eyes open for a few seconds as we walked up the stairs. I’m sure he fell asleep happy to be back in his own bed, dreaming of homemade ice cream, eggs filled with marshmallow bunnies, and hugs from so many people who love him.

21 and up


On Friday, Brendan became a 21 month old, and to celebrate, we took him wine tasting this weekend.  Actually, Aunt Faren and Uncle Chris were in town – and since Chris is a fancy schmancy trained sommelier, we often get treated to a really awesome experience when he visits.  This was no exception.  We went to three different places, and the little man was a champ at each of them.  There were chickens and cows and sheep and donkeys, ponds to throw rocks in, gliders to build, and wide open spaces for running – made me wonder why wineries don’t advertise more to the kid crowd.


As usual, Brendan continues to impress us with new skills each day.  He continues his athletic tendencies with throwing and catching and running and jumping and shooting hoops.  He also continues to have a lot to say.  This week brought us, “See you later” or “See you tomorrow”, as well as octopus, helicopter, butterfly, bulldozer and many others.  He doesn’t nap on the way to and from work anymore, instead we chat about everything we see, what we did today, and what we’re going to do when we get home.  He’s my carpool buddy for sure.

For example, Fildena is one of generic cialis viagra the medicines prescribed and take precautionary measures to control ED.

Androgenic alopecia is probably caused by excess DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a metabolite of testosterone (i.e., testosterone typically is converted to pyruvate, the pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency may cause the mitochondrial malfunction with different energy producing metabolic cycles canadian pharmacy sildenafil (TCA) and pathways.
Other than that, Mommy has been trying to recover from her cold/loss of voice (I seem to be collecting them this year), so I had to recruit help with the chores.

Leprechaun Pie

What a weekend. As usual, it went by in a blur – but it’s a big happy blur.
Daddy had a work party Friday night, so it was just me and the little man. We watched some Cars, and he started telling me his favorite lines before they happened. I couldn’t believe it. As we were going to bed, I told him about the fun weekend we were going to have, and that Grandma and Grandpa were going to come up the next day. When Brendan woke up the next morning, the first words out of his mouth were, “I wanna see Mum” (‘Mum’ is his current word for all Grandmas and Grandpas). He repeated it, and then pointed to the room where they stay when they’re here and said, “sleeping”. We went in to check as I explained that they weren’t here yet, but would be coming very soon.

They arrived with much fanfare from both boy and dog. Then they came in and did their Grandma and Grandpa thing where they sprinkle love and food and flowers and gifts all over our house. Dinner was freshly baked bread, with corned beef and veggies for St. Patrick’s Day – and Leprechaun pie for dessert. Mmmmmmmm… one of my absolute all time favorite meals. I shared a tiny bit with everyone else, but ate way more than my fair share. And to totally fess up, I did not share even one piece of pie with ANYONE. But I did at least go through the motions of making an offer to share. I didn’t feel the need to ask more than once – but I did ask once. I’m a giver.

Grandma and Grandpa were amazed at how much he has changed in just a few weeks. Words are popping out everywhere. He does make liberal use of the word, ‘mine’, but he has started saying ‘m-mm’ rather than ‘NO!’ a lot of the time, which does soften the blow. He’s got some other new gems in there. Some of my favorites are ‘something happened’ which is a very useful phrase for nearly every situation, such as when your cracker breaks in half. He even knows what a burp is, and thinks its funny when he does one (in case I was wondering whether or not I had a boy in the house). Last night as we were reading a book with Grandma and Grandpa, he told us that there was a ‘frog hiding’, and then on the next page that ‘frog swimming in water’. I’ll just stop here, because I think I’ve once again made it clear that he is a genius.

This weekend he also started really jumping – and today he caught his first ball. And then did it again a whole bunch of times so that Mommy could take a video.

Some adverse consequences cialis 5mg uk are obvious element of this capsule. cialis 100mg Herbalife Malaysia goals to provide individuals with 100% organic items.

(just for the record, it was actually Mommy that discovered he could catch, after a good 20 minutes of playing tackle football). There is another catch video here, and a long video of jumping and dunking and throwing the ball ‘up pie’ here.  Please forgive Mommy’s loud cheering.

How does it just keep getting better? I don’t understand how it’s possible. Today I had one short moment of clutter claustrophobia. I looked around at all the stuff that seems to accumulate faster than we can walk through a room, and wondered how I would ever catch up. It didn’t take me more than a few minutes to realize that soon Brendan would be more interested in playing with his toys, or hanging out with his friends, or going on his first date. And at that point, I can clean my house, or do any of the unimportant things that sometimes feel overwhelming when I have a toddler clamoring for my attention. I left the clutter alone and went out to blow bubbles and jump and play more football.  Now is the time to eat dessert first, because this dessert won’t last – and it’s even better than Leprechaun pie.

I’d just like to apologize to my father-in-law, and 16 year old Brendan for posting these pictures.

News Flash!

I have other fun things to report, but first, this breaking news:
Tonight, as Rob was starting to give Brendan his bath, Brendan looked up at him and said, “poop”. Rob asked him if he wanted to get out of the tub and poop. Brendan said, “yeah”. Rob took him out, and offered to put his diaper back on – as soon as it was on, Brendan pooped. He *knew* he did something amazing, and had the sweetest little smile of accomplishment on his face. Who is this big boy?

Mommy sprung him free from school early today. Even though I had just visited an hour or so before, I just couldn’t stand to be away from him a second longer. It was a beautiful spring afternoon, and this is how we spent it:

There were extra smiles today, extra hugs, and extra nose scrunching shoulder crumpling giggles. He wowed me with all the words he knows as we looked at his big, big bus book – and then as I was putting him to sleep, he said, “I wanna see Baboo” over and over again. My boy is growing up.

Bubble Pie


The calendar at my desk still says it’s February. I know it’s not February because I seem to be up an hour early for daylight savings time. Is there a way to opt out of daylight savings? I think Brendan has figured out how to get on that list.

The good news is that while my little man is awake, we’re filling our days with him first – everything else second. At least it’s good news until everything else catches up. I still have a month before taxes are due, right?

Here are five things I don’t want to forget:

1. Going to the duck pond to feed the ducks, only to find a big sign that said, “No feeding the ducks.” Poor ducks. Turned out it was way more fun to chase the birds, and throw rocks in the pond. Again, poor ducks.


2. Leaving daycare on Friday, Brendan’s friend Alice (the one from this video) was crying as we left school. We got half way down the hall and Brendan stopped, looked up at me, and said, “Alice sad.”. Then he turned around to go back to the class room because he wanted to make sure she was okay. That is all I could ever ask for of my son.

3. This weekend Daddy and Brendan and I played hide and seek. There were hushed giggles as we hid together – and squeals and hugs as we found each other. It was awesome.

4. “Whadees?”, translated to, “What’s this?”. It’s his new favorite phrase. His little finger points and he wants to know about everything he sees.

We all want to have perfect and Beautiful Skin. cheap viagra canadian It keeps the couples together and live happily forever. valsonindia.com viagra online consultation http://valsonindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Quarterly-Financial-Result-Sep-2018.pdf order cialis Depending upon the tolerability of users, they are manufactured in different dosages.

5. Bubbles and more bubbles.


Uncle Brian even surprised us with a way to fill our whole back yard with them.

While we were eating family dinner that night and talking about our day, Brendan kept telling us, “Bubble Pie”. We were confused until we realized that when we were playing with bubbles they kept going, ‘up high’, or ‘uphigh’ – or even better, just ‘bubble pie.’

You should try some bubble pie. It’s delicious.

Catch-up

The weather has been very spring-like this weekend, so we spent a good part of the morning outside. Armed with only his two paint brushes, Brendan went on a bubble hunt.


He narrowed in on the source – many of them seemed to be coming from this octopus character.

Each day he continues to amaze his parents with his new skills. Some highlights this week:

  • After several mornings with crazy tantrums (crying for his ‘baba’ then throwing it across the room when we gave it to him, then once again crying for the bottle…repeat, repeat, repeat…) we finally got wise and switched things up. We now come in to greet him in the morning with bottle in hand. This has made for a much more peaceful start to the day. The first day we tried this he held his own little happy parade, marching in his crib – and in case we missed it he said ‘MARCH!!” I should also give Chelsea credit – on our last tantrum morning, she went over to inspect the bottle that had been thrown on the floor. Brendan saw her do it and yelled, “MINE!” and then began drinking his bottle. Genius, Chelsea… we appreciate it.

  • Brendan is starting to string words together, which makes it even more fun to see what he will come up with. Some phrases that make regular appearances in conversation include, “I see a bus!” (or guy, or puppy, or daddy, or ‘meow’ or whatever he happens to see). He also often announces “COLD FEET!” when his bare feet hit the cold kitchen tile. And one that particularly impresses me – when we say, ‘You did it!!’, he responds with, ‘I did it!’. The kid knows tense. I’m not saying he’s a genius or anything, but infer what you will.
  • He is also a much more active participant than he used to be in Chelsea’s mornings at the park:

Other than that, we get outside as often as Mommy and Daddy will allow – and if we don’t get the hint, somebody hands us our shoes.


If you have to ask why Mommy is wearing a tiara, then you probably don’t know me very well.

Happy Weekend!
