Four Months Old!


Our precious little boy is four months old today! It's hard to remember what life was like before he entered our world. He grows more fun to be around every day, and we sure are enjoying life with this gift from God!

Brennan's Likes:

Sitting in his bouncer
Playing with the fish on his activity gym
Mornings
Smiling
People
Being kissed
Watching TV (yikes!)
Elmo

Brennan's Dislikes:

Being awake and alone (when we don't get him quickly enough after naptime)
Being in his car seat for extended periods of time

Formal Family Fotos

Yes, I know. "Photos" is spelled with a "Ph". But who can pass up the FFF triple combo?

Here's what a (semi-) professional can do...

Brennan Does Minnesota

Brennan enjoyed a visit to Minnesota last week, during which he got to meet lots of relatives and attend his first baseball game. In other words, he had lots of new faces around him and new people holding him, had his picture taken 387 times (evidence is below) and had his nap disturbed several times by annoying people who kept yelling every time someone hit a ball with a piece of wood. He also spent long stretches of time strapped into his car seat as we carted him from Richmond to Washington to Minneapolis to Rochester, back to Minneapolis, back to Rochester, to Preston, to Rochester, to Minneapolis, to Washington and back to Richmond (with a sizable delay thanks to a dead car battery). That's a lot of miles! He was pretty cranky on Thursday, his first full day back home. He's better now thankfully, and we won't be taking him on any big trips again for a while we hope.

So, here we go... here are some pics.

Dad and Brennan at his first baseball game! Dad consented to allow Brennan to wear Twins gear since it was a Twins game. Red Sox indoctrination will commence shortly.
