Two posts in one day. Wow.

Just a couple recent pictures.

Brian preparing to try out for the new Star Trek movie. (I can't believe I actually bought my son a Star Trek Halloween costume... but it's so funny! - Sarah)

Going for the popped collar look.

“She turned me into a newt!” (I also can't believe I let Ben post a picture of me in a witch hat on our blog! - Sarah)

New hat.

He decided he was going to start waving at people last weekend. Which was nice.

Few videos of Brian, being his usual cute self

We haven’t been able to get videos working on here for a while, so some of these are pretty old. Like the videos of him walking two months ago. By the way, for those who didn’t know, he’s walking now. As of two months ago. Don’t know if Sarah mentioned that.

Some of his first steps

He thinks this is so fun now

Love the concentrated look on his face.

Brian and Dad outside of Cracker Barrell

We had a great weekend down in Utah over Conference weekend. We got to spend a lot of time with my college roommates (we missed you, Michelle!!) Emily, Lisa, and Lindsay and their cute kids. Emily, Linds, and I were all pregnant with boys at the same time, all born last June and July, so it was fun to see them play together. We also got to go to my mission reunion and it was fun to see old friends there, too. Then we got to spend some time with my aunt, uncle, and cousins and we got to go to the Sunday morning Conference session which was great. Brian did so good on the trip!! We were worried he wouldn't sleep in a strange place in a different bed, but it wasn't bad at all. And, he slept the whole plane ride home- yay!

One year check-up

Eating a popsicle with Dad (kinda- he mostly wanted to play with the stick)

In his muscle shirt - ha ha

Asleep on his tummy with his rear in the air

Walking

Brian had his 1 year check-up yesterday. It was the earliest they could see him with all the back to school appointments they've been having recently. Here are his stats so I can remember:

Weight: 24lbs 13oz - 50-75%
Length: 30 inches - 50%
Head: 18 3/4 - 75%

He has done really good catch-up to his age group even though he was born 2 months early. It's so fun to see him learning new things and understanding. He's been taking some steps and getting braver with walking. He gets so excited and loses his balance sometimes, but he's getting better.

Brian's first year video

Here's a link to a sweet video that Ben put together of Brian's first year. We tried uploading it so you could see it here on the blog, but it wasn't working, so just click on the link and you'll be able to watch it. Enjoy :o)
