4 Month Old Stats

We have a healthy 4 month old baby boy!

He is now 24 inches long (20th percentile) and 12 lbs, 11 ozs (10th percentile).

His shots made his little legs knot up more this time so we had a very fussy weekend after his appointment. I could tell he wasn't feeling well Friday night and Saturday cause it was so easy to get him to sleep. Saturday (Oct 18th) Brendan had his first taste of rice cereal and didn't like it at all (yes, there is video of it!). He's gotten better now but I'm not sure if his little tummy likes it cause we've had a few fussy days. But who knows... that could probably be from any number of reasons.

We trick-or-treated to Gringo's with Brent's parents and to my parents' house for Halloween. The pictures of our little bean are too cute!

Saturday November 1st Texas Tech beat the number 1 Longhorns!!!! We discovered during that game (and the next day at the Renaissance Festival) that Brendan does not like loud noises. He got scared and started crying a few times when we were yelling/cheering at the TV, lol. So we don't know if Brendan likes fireworks yet or not. We were going to try to stay for the fireworks at the Ren Fest but the yelling of the crowd beforehand upset him... so I'm guessing he doesn't like fireworks yet. We'll see on his first July 4th in 2009... or at least first one to celebrate.

Hurricane Ike and 3 months old!

Well, we survived the hurricane with very little damage. We had part of our fence knocked down and a cedar tree in the backyard fell but didn't hit anything. Sorry for the delay in posting but after the hurricane we were without power until the 23rd of September and then we've just been busy. So here are tons of pictures and a couple of videos.





These pictures are from when we took Brendan to the Discovery Green park in downtown Houston. Brendan was sleepy when we first got there.

I love taking pictures in Sepia... they turn out so good!





I love this picture. "Daddy, what are you doing?" Lol.







Gotta love these laughs!



"Now Brendan..."Playing with Aunt Shannon





Brent caught me and Brendan napping on the couch when he got home from work one day



This is the light pole that fell at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Luckily it didn't hit anything.



I love this picture of Grandma and Brendan!

Playing with Daddy

I love his smile!Watching football with PapawCuddling with TiggerThis and the pic above are from Brendan's first play date with our friend Jamie's daughter Elly.



I hadn't taken any pictures of Brendan in his crib so since he was wearing baseball stuff this day I decided it was time.



Okay, so this isn't of Brendan but I was proud of Brent and Pat. They won their second softball championship out at Big League Dreams. They've been playing there since 2006.



These pics are from Brendan's first trip to the lake house. We had a fun time relaxing and it wasn't too hot but we brought a fan outside for Brendan anyways.



The lake house got a new paint job since the last time we visited.



The lake was really low this time. I don't think we've ever seen it that low.



We were a little bit crowded with Brendan's playpen there but it actually fit better than I thought it would.



Brendan "The Thinker" Bean



Brendan's old man pants, lol.3 month-old pics... once again we spent too much but less than both the previous months. Maybe next month we'll behave... maybe.

The first video is Brendan sucking on his thumb/fist. The second is one I took the morning after the hurricane.

Brendan is so much fun. Each day brings something new. Recently he's started rolling over from his stomach to back. He usually does it while he's sleeping though and he ends up crying cause he hates sleeping on his back. So in his crib I've started putting those two pillows (that are in the crib picture above) next to his side so he can't roll over because one night I had to put him back to sleep twice cause he had rolled over. Brendan's started playing on his stomach longer now too. He's not crawling yet but he does a really good imitation of an inch worm. He likes to inch around in a circle and sometimes he'll go forward.

The next checkup is on Friday so I'll update with Brendan's latest stats after that.
