My First Ear Infection! YUCK!!

Brian has officially had his first ear infection!! Mommy and Daddy both got colds last week and Brian ended up with one, too. Unfortunately, his cold also got to his left ear - so, here we go with the "pink stuff"!!! Thankfully, he really seems to like his medicine and takes it like a champ! Drinks it right down! And, as you can see, after less than 2 full days on the medicine Brian was back to his old self!!

Hehehe!! I have learned to stick out my tongue and blow and make lots of fun noises!!!

Fun Day at Hillridge Farm

On Sunday, October 11th, we went to the Hillridge Farm Pumpkin Patch in Youngsville with our friends Jennifer and Brayden! It was so much fun! They have LOTS of things to do and see! Mommy & Brian and Jennifer & Brayden played in the "Corn Box" - it didn't have sand, it had kernels of corn!! Brian wasn't too sure about it at first, but then decided it was fun to kick all the corn around with his feet! Then Daddy took Brian down the BIG slide - that was fun, but daddy said it was really bouncy! There were LOTS of animals to see - goats, chickens, horses, ducks, bunny rabbits, fish, and even a Llama!!! Brayden & Brian liked to watch the train, too! But everyone's favorite part was the hayride and the pumpkin patch! Brian LOVED playing with all the pumpkins!!!

The Corn Box!!! What's this stuff??

WHEEEEEEE!!! Down the slide with Daddy!

8 Months Old

Another month old and learning so many things every day!!! Brian loves to be on his feet and our coffee table is definitely his favorite place to be! Every day he gets better and better and cruising back and forth along the side of the table! Even though he will get up on his knees and scoot some, something tells me he's not going to be much of a crawler! I think we're going to go straight to walking with this little guy!!

This month he has just exploded with new things he has learned to do! Brian loves to play "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!" He doesn't make much sound when he claps, but that's really okay with mommy!! He has learned to wave and loves to wave bye-bye to everyone! He has also started putting some consenant sounds in front of his vowels, so we've heard, "ba-ba" "ma-ma" and "da-da"!! We did hear ma-ma before da-da, but his first official word was "uh-oh"!!

We still don't have any teeth yet, but Brian LOVES to eat his puffs, apple slices, and whole dill pickles!!! He'll gum almost anything we give him! His gag reflex has gotten so much better in the last month!! YEA!

We can't wait to see what month 9 holds in store!!!

My First Pickle!!

Mommy & Daddy had to lower my mattress when I learned how to pull up and stand in my bed!
