STORY TIME....

Tom was telling the kids a story the other day. It was pretty cute...they were both listening so closely! :) Daddy can tell some pretty good stories!

Brandon had socks on his hands because he was scratching

at his eczema...poor baby :(

DUMBO....

Actually, the seat below is called a Bumbo, but (at first) Bailey was calling it the "Dumbo":) This seat is specially designed for babies who cannot sit up on their own, but whose neck muscles are strong enough to hold their head up (the back of the seat is really high up so it supports the baby in a sitting position).

We put Brandon in the Bumbo for the first time this past week. He looked like such a big boy! Truth be told, he was only able to sit in there for a few minutes before his head got too heavy for him and he started to lean/fall forward. My guess is he'll be an old pro at the seat in a few weeks.

While we had him there, we tried a few bites of cereal. He actually did very well with it. Much better than Boo (it took her a week or two before she figured out how to actually swallow it :). Even so, I think we're going to wait a couple of weeks and then try cereal as part of his daily diet. The few bites we gave him seemed to have upset his tummy a bit so we'll wait until we're closer to the "traditional" 4 month start date. For now I'm increasing his formula intake to keep up with his hungry little tummy. He's already up to an average of 32oz a day! What a little man!

PLAY TIME....

Bailey is a GREAT big sister. She loves Brandon to pieces. She will hold him, feed him, bring me things for him, talk to him, read to him, play with him.... just about anything and everything she will do for him.

Brandon, equally, loves his big sister. He has smiles saved just for her. It's incredibly sweet.

I know that this peaceful/loving relationship may not always be here (flash forward to those teen years...or heck, maybe just a couple of years down the road when Brandon really starts getting into Bailey's things) but, for now, it's a great start and I'm enjoying every minute :)
