We have walking!

A couple of weeks after his first birthday, Brennan started to walk.  We were excited that Nanna got to be here to witness it.

Evidence that Brennan and his sister have fun with his new car.

It's not very graceful but he can get into his car by himself by climbing over the side.

At his last doctor's appt we found out his slightly anemic and we also mentioned to the doctor that when he gets angry and cries he will sometime hold his breath, turn blue, and pass out.  The doctor said that being anemic correlates with that behavior and makes it worse.  We are treating him for the anemia and hopefully the breath holding spells will lessen.  So far, he has a passing out spell sometimes once or twice a day, and some days not at all.  Seeing his Dad walk away into another room seems to set him off the worst.

He is a very intense little dude.  He really knows what he wants and when he wants it.  He likes things all his way.  He's also really observant and smart.  He has already figured out how to drink his bottle and hold it by himself.  He maneuvers obstacles really well and he repeats sounds and makes up funny games.  He turns the turn signal on on his little red car and turns his head back and forth with the clicking sound and looks at you and wants you to do the same.  Also, he likes to blow raspberries a lot.  He will also give little toys and dolls rides in his scooter.

He is getting a ton of attention for walking and he really likes it, it has encouraged him to practice a lot this week.  He can take about 25 steps consecutively when he gets on a roll.  It's strange to us to see him walking and we'll miss the turtle crawl which is getting less and less common.
