8 months

Brandon turned 8 months last Sunday and like I mentioned before, it's getting harder and harder to get him to sit still! Luckily I think I got an okay picture out of it. We were even luckier to finally get a nice picture of both Justin and Brandon together.

Brandon is finally starting to get his teeth. His bottom two popped out this week! It's a good thing because the kid is really wanting to eat regular food. Baby food isn't quite cutting it for him so now I'm scrambling to figure out what he can eat with two half teeth.

He can also pull himself up now - yikes! I swear this is earlier than when Justin started pulling up, but all of a sudden we'll find Brandon standing at the train table or at the coffee table. He even figured out how to get up on one step of our staircase *gulp* Baby proofing is in order soon I believe!

The next milstone that's up is switching him out of his car seat. I need to weigh the little bugger soon...I have a feeling he's approaching the weight limit...

 

 

Feeding himself puffs - he quite enjoys them!

Bath Time at the Wongs

Bath time is a bit crazy with two kids who can't be in the same tub together yet (can't wait for that to happen!). It usually involves both boys running/crawling around naked for one reason or another. Brandon will be crawling away from me naked because he's free from the confinement of his clothes and I'm praying that he won't pee on the carpet (already happened once). Justin will be running around naked and announcing the fact while jumping around. We also introduced Justin to the shower on non-bath days which he find completely ticklish.

Craziness all around, but I can't resist the smell of a clean kid...

Not a particularly interesting photo unless you hear Justin in the background saying, "Hey Brandon! Don't eat my butt cream!" Hehe.

 

Justin won't stop giggling in the shower!

All clean!

Ole!

Love those rolls

While Mommy is trying to take a shower on the weekends, Brandon has to sit in his exersaucer in the bathroom

The camera was on some weird setting which is why it looks like Brandon's face is melding into the carpet. But I do love this cheesecake shot!

Boys Will Be Boys

Catching up on my blog again. Just some pics and a video of the boys being boys. When I was recording Justin on his tricycle and Jay and Brandon on the scooter, I was surprised that Brandon wasn't freaking out or anything. I imagine that it probably felt like he was ziplining...Imagine if you were strapped in mid-air zipping along and all you could see was concrete flashing by? Hehe.

 

 

Crawling!

Brandon finally got his mass working in his favor...tonight he finally starting crawling forward! You'll notice that he had to really get "rev'd" up to do it. And he wasn't too pleased about showing off his new trick when all he wanted to do was go to bed :)

Now if he could just learn to roll from his tummy to his back, we'd be golden. (Or at least Mommy would so that she wouldn't have to flip him over when he gets stuck in the middle of the night!)

7 months

It's getting harder to take a picture of a baby on the go! As soon as I sat Brandon down, he wanted to eat the paper, grab the camera, and crawl around the chair. I think I need a camera with a faster shutter speed. Luckily, since I always take these photos in the morning after he's eaten, he's in a good mood, so taking the photo isn't too hard.

I really need to trim the poor kid's hair. People are starting to think he's a girl :)

 

 

 

MMA Training?

I'm not sure if it's funnier that it looked like these two were training for a cage match, or that Justin was trying to pick up Brandon to bring him to the table for breakfast. At any rate, you can see in the video that Justin decided that waffles were more important and Brandon could fend for himself. I'm sure this won't be as funny in a few years when all I hear from the family room is "FLYING ELBOW!!!!"

 

 

 

Baby Yoga

I love watching Brandon try to crawl. He gets himself into some interesting positions and it amazes me how flexible babies are! These photos reminded me of yoga positions that I'll never be strong enough for ;)
