Mr. Smiles

Brennan continues to amaze us every day! It's incredible to watch him grow and learn!

He's becoming quite the talker and smiler. He'll smile at everything...Daddy, Mommy, Miss Tracy (babysitter), pictures on the wall, ceiling fans, and anything else in his view. He enjoys having conversations, especially when you mimic the sounds that he makes. He also likes to talk and smile during diaper changes-a great improvement from his previous cries and screams!

He's also able to roll over onto his side. We haven't seen him roll in a few days, but he did it about half a dozen times one evening last week.

I've been weary to post about his recent sleeping habits in fear that it was just a fluke, but he's had the same pattern for over 2 weeks, so I think it's safe. Brennan is able to sleep for up to 9-11 hours overnight! He's been going to sleep between 8-9pm and I've had to wake him at 6:30am most mornings to eat and leave for work! He's still not a regular napper during the day, but is beginning to have at least one "long" nap (1 hour) each day.

Brennan is making it clear that he's not a performer. It never seems to fail...as soon as we pull out the camera to take a picture or video, he stops his smiles/coos/etc. We had several picture/video moments tonight. As soon as I turned on the camera, he stopped. It wasn't even in front of him, yet! Then, as soon as the camera was off, he resumed! What a stinker!
