Spring is here!!

We have been having pretty nice weather lately. My sister bought Brian a swing to go under our deck and he likes it, though you wouldn't be able to tell from the above pictures- again, we couldn't get him to smile for the camera! But, he kicks his legs and gets all excited when he's in it. He just doesn't like the sun to be in his eyes- he must be from Washington. :o) Brian is getting better at standing up and holding on to things, like the ottoman. He just needs to learn that he has to keep holding on the whole time or he'll fall backwards. We're also trying to help him learn that he can move his feet/legs and get places. He's still pretty content in staying in one spot, though. Be sure to scroll down, I did a few posts today.

Sunday best

Brian is finally big enough to wear this cute Sunday outfit we got him. The pants are still a little long, and I couldn't button the top button for him to wear his tie because it was too snug, but it's still adorable! As you can see he preferred to eat his shoe instead of smile for the camera, but we got a few good shots.

8 months old

Brian turned 8 months old yesterday. It seems like I just posted his 7 month shoe pictures! Time is going so fast. Ben actually got him to smile in some of these pictures, so you can see him looking off to the right at Ben. Brian is getting bigger and stronger everyday. We love him so much!

March so far

Playing in his exersaucer Saturday morning

Brian relaxing on the couch one night

Love these rocket pajamas (size 18 month and getting snug!)

Classic Brian picture face, and the empty water bottle that has become his favorite toy

I watched my cousin's little boy one day and Brian loved watching him play

7 months

Brian turned 7 months on February 22nd, but we're late in posting his shoe pictures. At 7 months, we think he is about 20 pounds, maybe heavier. He is getting so big! He is sleeping through the night now, which is wonderful! He usually goes to bed between 8:30 and 9:30 and will sleep until 6:00 or 7:00. He is sitting up really good on his own and we are trying to help him become more mobile, but he still hates being on his tummy. He is also still working on rolling over- he'll roll to his side, but can't quite move his arms enough to fully roll over. One time we put him on his tummy and he immediately rolled to his back, and we were so excited that he had rolled over, but he hasn't done it since! I am sure he'll get it soon enough and we'll be wishing he wasn't mobile. :o)
