A Boy and His Balloon, Part 2

We felt really, really bad when Brennan's balloon popped. I mean, he loved playing with it and only had it for about half an hour before it met the popcorn ceiling. Today, Brennan and I went out to the park for a walk and some time in the baby swing. When we got home, Daddy had a surprise waiting for Brennan in his room--an Elmo balloon! It was love at first sight! He grabbed onto the string and had a blast bouncing it around and laughing super hard. We'll be keeping a close eye on this one in the hopes that he'll get much more enjoyment out of this one than his first one.

Brennan is also 7 months old today! It's definitely hard to believe that it's already been seven months since he entered our lives. He's just such a great kid!

Highlights at age seven months:
1. He's been sleeping about 11 hours (sometimes longer) straight at night! What a treat!
2. The only food he's tried that he really doesn't like is papaya. He doesn't really care for peas, either, but I just discovered a great way to get him to eat them. I mix peas, sweet potato, and carrots together. It sounds gross but he gobbles the whole bowl up!
3. No teeth yet. We've thought he's been teething for the past three months. All the signs are there, just no sign of those pearly whites!
4. He's a moving machine. I plop him on the floor for some tummy time to build those crawling muscles, and the next thing I know, he's rolled halfway across the room!
5. Bathtime is SO much more fun now that he's sitting up by himself. He loves the water and starts splashing as soon as he gets in the tub. The downside is that Mama gets way wetter than before!
