Reading/Walking Video

This is a video of Brennan walking around the living room reading his book.

New Things

This week Brennan has had several new accomplishments...
He said "Grandma" for the first time.
He started standing up on his own regularly (up to this point he has mainly only stood up from pulling up on something).
He also put two words together to tell Mommy what he wanted. - As I have stated before, Brennan loves to brush his teeth. A couple of days ago, he followed me into my bathroom (where we always brush his teeth), looked up at me, and said "brush teeth." I was so happy. We brushed his teeth, even though it was about 5:00 in the afternoon, an abnormal time for us to brush teeth.
Brennan also has started "reading" aloud as he looks at his books. I will post a video later of him walking around while "reading."

Helping Grandpa

Grandpa was working on our sprinkler system yesterday, and Brennan really wanted to watch him and help him.

Brennan's Words

Brennan has quite a few words that he says now. He has surprised Mommy a couple of different times by naming something when he sees it that I didn't know he knew. He repeats words that I say all the time (not listed below) but will not say a word if you ask him to. The words listed are the ones that he says on his own. Here is the list:

all done
amen (??? he says something at the end of the prayer everytime, but it doesn't really sound like amen)
apple
ball
book
bottle
bye (inconsistent)
cheese
Cheez-It
cracker
Dad
Daddy
diaper
done
down
drink
Grandad (only twice so far)
Grandpa (only once so far)
Mommy
more
please (very inconsistent)
Rachel
shoes
sit
sock
thank you (inconsistent)
this
uh-oh (a very fun word)
up
yes
zoo (several times, but only yesterday)

Great example of using words to communicate what he wants: Brennan loves for Mommy and Daddy to sit on the floor and read books to him. Yesterday he took a book to Daddy, said "book", and then said, "sit." Daddy was trying to go out to work on the lawn but could not resist when Brennan was so clearly letting him know that he wanted him to sit down and read him a book.

Zoo

Yesterday we went to the zoo with GGma, Grandma, Aunt Kayla, Aunt Michelle, Kate, and Rachel. We love being outside!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Tonight we celebrated Grandpa's birthday. Brennan loves his Grandpa so much!

Brennan's New Cousin Judah!

Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Kyle had Judah Beatrix Rose on June 2 at 10:50 pm. She was 7.5 pounds and 19 inches long. Brennan, Daddy, and Mommy are all excited to get to meet her.
