Visiting the Farm

Last week we went to the farm for Brennan's first visit. Brennan enjoyed playing the Uncle David's hat, looking at the huge tires, getting in the combine with GGpa, looking at the straw and wheat, and spending time with his family.

Big Accomplishment!

Brennan went poop in the potty today! So it wasn't really any of his own doing... Mommy saw the look on his face and rushed him into the bathroom. He had already gone some in his diaper but finished in the potty. Then Mommy praised and praised Brennan. He knew he had done something very good!
We aren't really ready to start potty training yet, but we thought we would get the little potty out and start talking about it. We are hoping that he can get used to the idea of it to make it easier for when we actually start trying to train.
Brennan has always been fine with going around in a poopy diaper until Monday. On Monday, he pooped his diaper, took it off, and brought Mommy a clean diaper. Other than tracking poop on the floor from stepping in it (yuck!), Mommy was very happy with this because it was the first time he had seemed to care.

We love the zoo!

Yesterday Brennan and Mommy went to the zoo with Grandma, Aunt Kayla, Uncle Brett, and Rachel.

Swimming

Brennan has had a few opportunities to go swimming this summer. First he went swimming at GGma's with Uncle Josh. Then he went swimming at Grandma and Grandpa's with Grandma, Mommy, Uncle Josh, and Rachel. And last week he went swimming twice at the YMCA with Aunt Krista, Uncle Justin, Grandma, Aunt Kayla, Aunt Michelle, Uncle Josh, Mommy, Kate, and Rachel. For now, Brennan definitely prefers shallow water that he can stand and sit in to splash.









14 Teeth

Brennan has been very drooly again the last few days, and Sunday night Mommy saw that another tooth has popped through.

Cowboy Brennan

On Saturday Brennan decided he wanted to wear Daddy's cowboy hat. For the most part, he wore it down over his eyes as he walked, but we were still able to get a few cute shots.
