September 28th

I have a cold & was snuffling, and he was copying me! : P

Loves to read "bright & beautiful", the recorded book that Grammy Donna gave him. : )

September 27th

Says "Ba" for Grampy (I think), and "Ma" for Grammy (because if I call for her, I say "Mum," and he copies me).

September 26th

Wanted (grape) tomatoes  for breakfast first thing this morning, Lol! Why not?

Climbs on things--drawer pulls, bookshelf, beds, bunk, etc.

Started really building with his blocks today!

September 25th

Scarfed his supper again tonight! Yay!

Got quite a kick out of Shelby & Hyde sneezing.

Whistles when he blows on something hot. : )

Played peek-a-boo with Grammy at suppertime.

Put Pooh in his highchair. : )

September 24th

Knows the titles of some of his books. Asked him to bring me Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and he did!

Ate his supper SO WELL! Best he's eaten at any meal all week!

September 22nd

When you say "hot", he blows (to cool it off!).

Brought me a magazine off the bunk to show me a pic of a little boy making cookies on the back cover. Showed me 3 or 4 times.

September 21st

I went to tend the chickens & cats this morning, and honked the horn as I was leaving. He ran right in, hopped up on the heater & waved! : )

Has stacking cups, stacking bowls, and 2 sets of blocks, and has played with cans all day (stacking them).

"Mm'na" or "Maaa" = Meow

September 20th

"Purrs" all the time (rolls his r's), it's his favorite new noise. : ) Greatly preferable to the ear-shattering shriek he used to like so well!

Licks pb/cheese off toast, or butter off his crackers.

Pretends to stir & eat or drink, with  the little pot and spoon from his kitchen. : ) Wants to share w/Mummy, Daddy, Grammy, Grampy.   

September 19th

Likes to tip up his bowl (cereal, soup, etc.) and drink the milk or broth.

Can drink out of a regular cup without spilling (usually).

September 18th

Played so cute with Rhyse on the boat (in the playroom).

Brendan was very glad to be home tonight! Excited to see the dogs, Grammy & Grampy, play with his toys.

When we sat down to rock at bedtime, he sighed & sighed, many happy, contented sighs, and kept saying, "Mmm, mmm." Lol! : )

Very quietly went to bed in his own bed.

A very long weekend for him, but he's been a very good boy all in all, and had a lot of fun! We all had a nice, lazy, relaxing weekend...and ate way too much Fielder's Choice ice cream. ; ) 

September 17th

Rode on Grammy's ride-on mower with her.

Likes to climb in the dogs' kennels. : )

September 16th

Played outside with the dogs (Kara & Wyatt), and had lots of fun exploring in the woods. Daddy later informed us that a BOBCAT has been hanging around Michael's--we were right behind his house in the woods. : |

September 15th

We're here! : ) Travelling yesterday went much better (overall) than I expected. We had one meltdown, in the last 2 hours of the trip, just like last year. He only had one very short nap.




Today, Grammy got up with Brendan, and let Mummy & Daddy sleep in! : ) Then, we shopped while he napped, and Grammy babysat. Yay! We played in the yard when he woke up. Explored the trail behind the house.

 

Brendan makes a "vvvv" noise, imitating the microwave. : )

 

 

 

September 12th

~ Happy 3rd Anniversary to us! ~

Drank out of a "big" cup today--the orange cup w/handles, without a lid. He was so proud, he wanted to  do it again & again & again. Wanted it more than beets!

Loves saying hi. Says it over & over. : )

September 11th

We were playing in the back hall, and I laid down on the floor. So, Brendan laid down, too. He was sucking his fingers, so I got him a big fleece blanket & his pillow & puppy. We laid and played back there for a good half hour. : )

September 9th

Wanted Daddy to take him outside this morning. Put his boots on, and went to the door, making his usual whiny noise. When Daddy didn't listen, he came in, and started to close the laptop, so he'd pay attention! LOL!!

September 8th

Meowed at a caterpillar (cuz it's a "cat"-erpillar). Lol!

Sleeps with his gorilla "pillow pet" now. : )

September 6th

Learning to use the shape sorter. Always knows where the circle goes. : )
Figured out to dip his bread in his beans, all on his own, lol. : )

September 5th

Pouring today, magine we'll be splashing in the puddles after naptime.

Said, "Down," to the cat (copying Grampy).

September 4th

19 Months Old Today!!

Gave his pic on the computer a kiss!

September 3rd

1st HAIRCUT TODAY!!

Was so good, hardly even squirmy. Ate a cookie while Debbie (Dexter) very quickly & deftly snipped away. Never fussed or shed a tear--and neither did Mummy or Daddy, Lol!

Looks SO SWEET!! : )

BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER:

September 1st

Was being fussy & climbing all over me, and I threatened to put him in his bed or play pen. He went right to his play pen & wanted to get in. Had a lovely time in there. Lol...guess that wasn't much of a threat! 

August 30th

First night EVER away from Brendan. Went out to Sheena's camp for a girl's night. Everything went fine. He woke up once, got in bed with Daddy, and went right back to sleep. Grammy & Grampy took care of him the next morning.
