First Steps

Brennan took his first unassisted steps today. He walked from his rocking horse to another toy. It was 8 total steps. He took a step, brought his other foot to meet it, took another step, brought his other foot to meet it, and did that two more times. He was concentrating very hard. He did it a couple more times later in the day. We are all very excited!

Brennan's new swingset

Grandpa Oakley came over to put together Brennan's swingset. Brennan had a great time "helping" him, and he loved swinging. As you can see in the pictures, he was a little unsure at first but after awhile loved it.

Standing?

Brennan has been pulling up on things and standing for quite some time now. However, he has just recently started letting go and standing after he pulls up. Today while in the bathtub he stood up for the first time without holding onto anything. It surprised him when he did it, and he bent his knees like he was going to sit back down, but instead of sitting, he stood up again for a few seconds until he fell. Mommy is anxious to see when standing (without pulling up) will become a regular occurrence.

Gran, Grandad, Aunt Lindsay, and Uncle Kyle Visit

Last weekend, Gran, Grandad, Aunt Lindsay, and Uncle Kyle came for a visit. They came to help Daddy lay the tile in the downstairs bathroom. Grandad, Uncle Kyle, and Daddy did a great job on the project. While they were here, Gran, Aunt Lindsay, Mommy, and Brennan took a trip to the zoo. Brennan had a great time with all of them!
