Hello Again!

The blog has been feeling a little neglected again. Here's a little recap of what's been going on during the month of November.

Brennan has been learning his numbers! I know you can't really understand him in the video, but he is doing a really good job. He tries to say all of numbers 1-10. Three, six, and nine are pretty clear most of the time. He can identify all ten of them easily.


We got a visit from Kyle's brother and sister-in-law. This was Amanda's first visit up here and her first time meeting the little guy. We enjoyed a long weekend with them and Brennan loved the extra attention. While they were here, Kyle and I got to go watch a UK game. Kentucky was up here playing Penn State in a tournament and we were able to get tickets. Cousin Taylor was able to join us too!

Mommy and B saying "cheese".

Even though B didn't go to the game, he was dressed in blue too!

We spent Thanksgiving with some of my family. Beth and Luke hosted at their house in Middletown. We were also able to see Taylor and Aaron, Bill and Sherri, and some of Luke's family too. Brennan had a great time playing with their dog, Miley.

We even had some excitement today! Brennan woke up and decided he wanted to talk more today. He's said several new words already this morning: mouth, magnet, sand, and tried to say Craisins. I love hearing him say new words everyday. He now also says his first phrase, "one more." He doesn't say it when asking for one more of something, he says it when there is one more of something left. It started because he loves traffic lights, so when we are coming home from somewhere I give him a warning when there is only "one more" traffic light before we are at our house. Now all of a sudden he has started saying it. He uses it in the right context all the time and says it sooo many times each day. It's pretty cute.

Today we met our friends Amanda and Parker at the Children's Museum in Niantic. B had a great time sorting colors.


He also walked up stairs on his own for the first time! He was able to do it because of the handrails, but it's a huge improvement in his gross motor skills.


I love that little guy so much!
