{cross your fingers for a little soccer player}

- He pulls his pants or undies down if they are SLIGHTLY too high, which is every time they get put on.

- We made some family goals to start out the new year and two of his are 1. Be nice to Brendon daily & 2. Learn all the sounds of the alphabet with no mistakes. He is doing great on both! I've been VERY impressed with how well he's remembering to be nice to Brend. He'll help Brendon out then look at me with a proud smile and say "My Goal." Good to know he's remembering.

- learning to ride his bike well.

Brendon

:: 6 months ::

 
What's new with Brend:

- Sitting up well.

- Loving baby food solids. He has eaten anything and everything we have given him. He even eats the green veggies {Cohen would not}. Peas do make him gag at times, they have to be plenty warm and mixed with rice. He eats rice cereal and about 2 jars of food every time he eats. I'm almost positive he'll be passing up his big brother before we know it.

- Sleeps from 8 pm to 8 am, takes a 2-3 hour nap in the middle of the day, sometimes a tiny cat-nap late morning.

- Just getting over a nasty cold, but wasn't grumpy for a second the whole time.

- Happy happy happy happy happy.

- Smiles at anyone that makes eye contact with him.

- Starting to laugh at many more things.

- Still thinks Co is the best in the world.
- Size 3 diapers.
