He's a big boy now!

Brennan has really grown up this summer and fast!  He is set to turn three at the end of this month and he is so excited for his birthday.  He talks about blowing out his candles non-stop and he says he can't wait for Santa to bring him his birthday presents. I guess he's a bit confused.  Also, he has been telling us he wants a cake with a crab on it that says, "Oh snap, it's my birthday".   He has a shirt that he likes that says Oh snap, time for bed.  I guess we'll see what we can come up with.

He has definitely gotten much taller and much heavier this summer.  He is squarely in his 2T stuff and moving on up to 3T.  His appetite has gotten tons bigger too.

Daddy got him a big boy bike early.  He rides it already just fine without any training wheels.  He's still figuring out the pedals a bit and pedaling backwards to stop, but he has the balance down.

 

He is also potty trained now, yay!! He got donut rewards for his first few poops in the potty.  We had about 2 weeks of intensive training and accidents but he takes himself to the toilet now just fine.  The only challenge we have left is getting him to put pants back on.  He really loves to run around naked now.

He's been having a really fun summer playing and doing all kinds of things.   He loves to play in the water, whether it's a home, the splash pad, or pool.

He catches all kinds of critters by himself.  He's partial to lizards and bugs.

We have had lots of fun outdoor adventures already this summer.  He loves getting dirty and if water is involved, all the better.

He so cute!

Still his favorite person and the person he spends the most time with is Sister (that's what he calls her).

It's hard to believe he's about to be three.  We hope to get him started in swimming lessons and violin or toddler music class in the Fall.  It will be fun to spend more one-on-one time with him when Sara goes to 1st grade.
