So for now he just goes backwards and gets mad.<br \/>\n-Brenden is never still. Ever.  He even moves in his sleep.  However, this means that he&#8217;s a very good sleeper.  Once you lay him down, it takes 2 seconds for him to fall asleep!<br \/>\n-He&#8217;s developing a &#8220;let&#8217;s get in trouble together&#8221; smile.  My mom says both Andy and I have that same smile.<br \/>\n-He&#8217;s become quite fond of prunes. Yuck.<br \/>\n-In order to change his outfit or diaper, you&#8217;ve got to move fast.  He can flip over and try to take off rolling if you&#8217;re not quick enough!<br \/>\n-We got him one of those doorway jumpers and he seems to like it.  However, he still hasn&#8217;t quite mastered jumping in it, so for now he just spins in circles and laughs.<br \/>\n-He&#8217;s &#8220;talking&#8221; quite a bit &#8211; but we don&#8217;t know what he says. \ud83d\ude42 Sometimes it sounds like he&#8217;s cussing in baby since most of his talking happens when he&#8217;s frustrated.<br \/>\n-We&#8217;ve moved on to formula since the well had run dry. Everyone keeps asking me if I&#8217;m sad about that, but I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.  I was always worried that he wouldn&#8217;t get enough to eat.  Now I can measure and know how much he&#8217;s really getting.<br \/>\n-I&#8217;m so not ready for him to crawl.  We don&#8217;t have enough space! I&#8217;m going to have to spend my days chasing him around the coffee table. The coffee table may not survive.<br \/>\n-We had a family portrait done at Target last week &#8211; and he did really well! He was really interested in the camera.  That helped. Hopefully we can post a few once we get them back.  Maybe next week.<br \/>\n-He&#8217;s become fascinated with whatever toy Reagan is playing with &#8211; no other toy will do. And Reagan has become fascinated with watching him eat solids.  It&#8217;s too funny to see them react to each other.<br \/>\n-He&#8217;s 1\/2&#8243; away from being too big for his car seat, so we bought him a new big boy seat.  This thing is amazing &#8211; he&#8217;ll have it as a booster until he doesn&#8217;t need any seat at all anymore.  It&#8217;s great! But we are a little sad to be losing the bucket. It makes him seem so grown up.<br \/>\n-Since the bucket is about to be history, we&#8217;re working on sitting in restaurant seats and shopping carts without it. He&#8217;s still a little wobbly, especially if he&#8217;s tired, but he&#8217;s getting the hang of it.<br \/>\n-I can&#8217;t wait until it warms up a little and I can take him to the park for the first time.  I think he&#8217;s gonna love slides.  He&#8217;s a little bit of a daredevil.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now! Have a great week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>-if there&#8217;s no Feb 30th, does that mean that Brenden gets to be 6 months old another month? -he&#8217;s on the verge of crawling, but hasn&#8217;t quite figured out how to put all the moves together yet.
