5 Months Old!



Brennan turned 5 months old today. My how time flies. I feel like this last month went by in a blink, but I also feel I was able to enjoy it! Brennan is one of the happiest babies you'll ever meet. I know I just said that, but it's oh so true. He brings us so much joy. When I think back to finding out I was pregnant... again... so soon after Tristan, and I remember how frustrated I was, I feel like a total idiot. Now I just feel blessed :) Here's my chunky monkey in his 6mos clothes today! He is getting so good with his hands, but still is not interested in cereal. He holds it in his mouth until it turns into more drool and then just smiles until it all oozes out onto his bib. Either that or he accidentally swallows some and it makes him gag while he's smiling hahaha. He's so crazy! I am not worried about it. He doesn't like the texture and I don't blame him. I am going to keep trying every day though because he never gets angry and it's going better than it used to so he must be adapting. In time in time... one thing I finally learned is that you don't have to rush kids into achieving milestones. They'll get there when they get there.





I can't believe how much hair he's lost! It's already starting to grow back... and a bit lighter than before. I don't think he'll be another blond like Tristan though. Look at how much hair he used to have!



Brennan loves tummy time and can pull himself up to sitting from reclined in most of his baby apparatus (the swing, the bouncy seat, the boppy). No more unattended bed-laying for Bren! Any day now he's going to figure out how to flip from back to front. He wakes himself up at night sometimes when he flips from front to back. It's only a matter of time. We have strong baby boys :)



OK and now for the comparison pictures ;) I just gotta!

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
