He seems to be picking back up on his weight or at least not losing any. He was on some iron drops and that seemed to help give him some more energy as well as he hasn't been sick for a while and he's eating about twice as much now.
I've been really into making beans so he's been eating lots of beans and cheese. I usually make him a bean mash including cheddar, quinoa, and broccoli tops. He loves it and I eat if for dinner sometimes too, it tastes really good. This week I'm making a big pot of kidney beans and then some cornbread to go with it. He's never had corn bread before so I'm excited for him to try that.
He's pretty much a finger food eater now and sometimes he does not like to be spoon fed. He eats steamed peas, bread, grapes, cheese cubes, raisins, and pears all chopped up into smaller pieces. He does not seem to like bananas all that much.
He still likes shakes too. Today he had a banana, orange, strawberry shake with fresh mint leaves. Also, he will eat my green shakes. Earlier this week he at a parsley and pear shake. He seems to really like parsley, I had put a lot in the shake and when he plays in the yard he almost always works his way over to my parsley plant and starts eating it.
He has his top two teeth in now too and Sara likes to go around telling everyone about his teeth. She likes to look in his mouth a lot and count his teeth. Also Sara and Brennan really like rolling around on the floor together wrestling. Brennan is so tolerant of Sara rolling him around and man-handling him, it amazes me. He hardly ever complains about it and when he does, that means he's done but he really puts up with a lot.
He hasn't been puking as much so we got the carpets cleaned finally!! Such a relief! Also, he still falls from time to time and hits his head but not quite as much as before. Also, he's been letting go of whatever he's standing up on and standing by himself for a few seconds. He did it in the bathtub the other night and that was kind of scary, but he stood there by himself for a few seconds. I still don't know how close he is to walking but I think it will definitely be by his 1st birthday.
He seems to have a very serious nature about him. He likes things the way he likes them and food when he wants it. He is easy going and likes to have fun too though and likes to be going places.
He had a quick bought with not wanting people to hold him but I'm wondering if that's over now because he's let lots of people hold him recently without complaining.
We are really getting excited for his 1st birthday. I was thinking of having it at the splash pad but we haven't decided yet. Also, we'll be really excited if Nanna can come out for a visit and the party.
Brennan couldn't be any cuter, his cheeks are rosy and he's got a really bright clear face and eyes. Dan and I both stare at him a lot and we think he's adorable. Also, everyone always remarks on how big his hands and feet are. His Aunt Lisa says he has, "Toddler Hands" already.
I tried to upload more pics but the website is not working. Maybe this video of him walking with Dan will work at some point too.
Really fun & entertaining post. Yes, he's super cute!
