10 1/2 Months Old

Here are some recent pictures of Brett. He took two steps the other day when Grandpa and Grandma Wilson were visiting! Then, the next day he took two steps while Rob and I were on the living room floor playing with him! I was glad we both got to see it at the same time!

The poor guy has been struggling from ear infections. Before the infection in his left ear had time to go away, he started to get one in his right ear! It has made for some rough nights for all. I just hope he feels better soon.

Christmas Morning

Christmas has an whole other meaning now.

Our first Christmas with Brett was the BEST! I haven't been so excited for Christmas morning since I was a little girl!

Can't wait for next year!

Christmas tree time

We went to a cute Christmas tree farm in Lacey this year. We went in the early afternoon on a Tuesday and we were the ONLY people there. It was perfect.

We saw baby goats and pigs, a turkey and some reindeer. Brett really could care less about the animals this year but I imagine next year, he will be thrilled!

We drove way in the back of the property to pick the perfect noble.

We ran from tree to tree, playing "marco polo" to find eachother. Brett was on Rob's shoulders most of the time, he had a ball!

Can't wait for next year (:

Pumpkin Patch

Brett's first trip to the pumpkin patch was a success! We went, we saw, we picked out little pumpkins for our baby friends coming over on Halloween, it was perfect!

I think next year will be a little more fun. It was just fun to visit a pumpkin patch, I hadn't been in years.

My other favorite part was that they had horse rides there ... that's not my favorite part, my favorite part is that the sign for the rides said "get a ride from duke and dick!" What the heck?!?! Who names their horse Dick! Whoa.

Toofers and on the move

Brett has two teeth and is crawling! About two weeks ago, he started to crawl! He had been kind of crawling for a week or so but all of the sudden, just took off! He is loving his new found independence! We are in the process of baby proofing our house. For now we have pillows around the fire place and blue painter's tape on the outlets, we need some baby proofing "stuff" and we need it quick! Brett has his 6 month check up on Thursday ... even though he is 7 months today! Rob is taking the day off work to go to the appointment and then we are heading to the pumpkin patch! I think a stop to Target is in order to pick up some outlet covers etc.

He also has two teeth and more that are on their way in. This has been hard. For him AND for us. None of us have been sleeping well ): I just feel so bad for the guy and wish there was more we could do for him! He seems to feel pretty good during the day but it's night time that is hard. Let me know if any of you out there have suggestions ... we are desperate!

My friend Nicole, took pictures of Brett last Thursday. I can't wait to get them back! She does an amazing job!
