Pete's Wedding

This past Sunday Cousin Pete got married. This was the first time Brian got to see Uncle Peter, Aunt Effie, Pete, Debbie and all the cousins. It was great seeing the family. It has been about a year. It was very beautiful and we are so happy for Pete and Lauren. Uncle Peter was so happy to meet Brian he wouldn't put him down. It was a good day.

6 Months Old!

Wow! I can't believe how fast time is going. Brian is already 6 months old. He had his check up this past Wednesday...He is doing great. Other than his 6 month shots. He now weighs a whopping 16.14 pounds and is 27 inches in hieght. His personality just gets cuter and cuter. He is so layed back and smiles all the time. He sits up on his own now. He will stay in that position forever unless he looses his balance and falls back. He does get upset if he hits his head going back so I put his boppy behind him so he is good. He can't get into that position on his own though. I do see him get up on his hands and knees and lift his little butt in the air for a second. I think he is going to start crawling pretty soon. He has been drooling more than Diesel (if that is possible), but no teeth yet. He loves being stimulated with everything. He stares at Diesel and cracks up when he comes over and licks his toes. He is also fascinated by Sadie but she stays in her own little world following me around.

Everyday is a great day with Brian. We are enjoying him so much. It is amazing how fast they grow. It seems there is something new everyday. I am trying to relish every little phase he reaches. Oh, he has even said DA DA! He LOVES his daddy. He has his eye on him at all times when he is in the room. And those eyes!!! They just keep getting more blue. ( I love it!)

He laughs so much. Daddy knows how to push his button. He also gives the cutest hugs by grabbing our shirts with both his hands and nuzzeling his face into our chest. He is always reaching for anything that he can get a hold of. I forget that sometimes and he will grab for my drink if he is sitting on my lap. He is a great sleeper and a good eater. We thank God everyday for our son.

Happy Halloween!

Well, We had our first Halloween with Brian. I think John and I were more excited than he was. We went over to my sisters house and had a haunted hay ride which took the kids from house to house. As you can see we were Star Wars. It was John's idea to dress Brian as Yoda and it grew from there. We had a great time. Brian was mesmorized by the whole thing. He stared intently at everyone and everything. He didn't look scared. He just got sleepy. The weather was nice so he wasn't sweaty in the costume. It was great doing the whole carving the pupkin and trick-or-treating with him. Everything is that much more fun having him around. We are so excited that the Holiday season is here. I am going to try to make as many memories as I can...And it is only going to get better.
