Camera shy? I think not...

So while I wait for my mom's internet to get back to working so that I can post from her trip here for Brennan's baptism, I wanted to post these pics I took yesterday with my phone. I was feeding Brennan some lunch and he was just sitting on the floor with the boppy pillow behind him. He became so intrigued with the fabric of the pillow that he stopped paying attention to the food. I took a pic to send to Mom, Dad, and Emily and the following ensued...

This is the first picture I took. Checking out the fabric (he was actually rubbing it) and the dog.

As soon as he heard the "click" of the camera he knew instantly what I was doing. And gave me this grin...
As I was typing the texts that I sent he continued to ham it up for the phone, thinking I would take more pictures. These are the ones I got after I finished sending the texts.

"If I stretch a little more, I know it'll go in my mouth!!"
" Hmmm... "
This was after he finished pooping and decided he didn't want to sit up anymore!
To my 2-3 actual blog readers, sorry it's been so long since the last post. Now that summer is officially upon us- I will do better!!

Happy Mother's Day

Finally a picture of Brennan and ME! ;) It's been a nice mother's day so far. Low key. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there especially mine and Will's!

It's been a pretty fun 2 weeks

Here's a little of what we've been up to...

This past weekend, my friend/pastor Chris's sister and niece came down for a visit. Brittany and I got to be friends a few years ago when she and her sis came down. So Friday night, Will, Brennan and I went to have a cookout and some game time with them. It was lots of fun, but the only pictures I took were at the end of the night of Brennan and Miss Britt saying good bye.

Whenever I feed him he always puts his fist in his mouth between bites. He's pretty good about getting them back out again before the next one, though.

Brennan is working on sitting up. He's doing really well at supporting himself with his hands. If he gets distracted with a toy, he'll often forget to put his hands down and he'll actually balance on his own. He has his mouth open in every one of these pictures- true sign of concentration. :)

Four months!!

Brennan turned 4 months old today!! We went to the doctor for his check up and he's 15 lbs, 9 oz and 25 in long! He's pretty average on the charts. Poor baby had to get 4 shots, but as soon as he was picked up and in my arms again he settled down! Nothing major to report. He's laughing all the time and sleeping really well through the night. Here are some pictures from the past few
weeks. They're all from my cell phone so they're not top quality.

Easter Bunny

I have a neighbor with a 7 month old son and today we took them to see the Easter Bunny and have pictures made. I broke down and bought a 5x7 and two 4x6 photos. But I got to use my own camera also. Here's the little man with the big bunny.

Uncle Thomas Comes to Town

The Parsons Clan on the beach

Last weekend William's bro Thomas came to town and our friends Ashley and Greg got married at the beach. It was a very active weekend, and Brennan fared very well. I'm pretty sure the above picture is our first family photo, and no better place than on the beach. Ashley and Greg's wedding was beautiful and lots of fun! I don't think I held Brennan much if at all that night. One thing about being the first with a baby is that everybody wants to hold him.

Sunday came with its own set of adventures. After church we went to a great birthday lunch for our friend Michael at Seasons 52 and then went on the boat out in the intercoastal. It was awesome, until the heavens opened up and we were soaked! It was also Brennan's first time with a babysitter- and I think he did fantastically well.

I've had quite a time helping Brennan get used to not being held all the time after this weekend, but I think he's adapting again. Last night he slept 11 hours! Woo Hoo!!

Family Night Out...

So yesterday William and I decided to actually leave the house together with Brennan and go somewhere other than the pediatrician's office. We went to Home Depot Expo to start trying to figure out what we are going to do with our bathroom in a few months. After coming up with some great ideas, we went to dinner at On the Border. Mmm, did someone say margarita?Brennan was relatively chill after he got some food in his belly. After dinner we went to our neighbor's house and I actually got to play a little Wii. I beat William at boxing, but he says its because he was playing with a 4 year old's player. Here's a picture of William and Brennan at dinner. What a fun evening out!

Here goes...

Well after much deliberation, I'm starting a blog. I figure this is a good wayfor my family that is so far away keep up with what's going on here in South Florida as our little boy grows up. I'll just start out with a picture of the little man with William. It's a few weeks old, but I thought it was cute.
