Busy weekend









We had a busy but fun weekend. Rich, Debbie, Ben, and Zack decided to come for a visit. They got here around dinner time on Saturday so we went to Stu's parents house for dinner so we could see them. Yesterday we went to a first birthday party for triplets that were in the NICU with Brandon and then Rich, Debbie, Ben, Zack, and Stu's parents came over here to hang out and for dinner. Brandon had a lot of fun playing with his cousins and going in his wading pool with them. We put warm bath water in the wading pool since we hadn't filled it earlier in the day and didn't want Brandon to be too cold so after he played in the wading pool he wound up having his bath in it.

Brandon has been sleeping much better lately. He has slept through the night 3 out of the last 4 nights and even when he woke up the one night that he didn't sleep through it was because something was bothering him, not because he wanted to be awake. Once he fell back asleep he slept for another 6 hours.

Brandon is about to cut at least two more teeth but I am guessing he is going to really cut four more. One tooth on the top is about to come through and one tooth on the bottom. The gum has already split where each tooth will come through. He already has two on the top and two on the bottom that are all the way in. The doctor said the next two he would get would be two more top teeth and then two more bottom teeth. That is why I think he may be getting ready to cut four teeth even though the gum is only split for two.

Brandon is pulling up on everything now. And is very quick at it. We finally lowered his crib mattress yesterday since Friday night he pulled himself to standing in his crib. He loves to stand and I am sure it is only a matter of time before he lets go of what he is holding and stands on his own and then takes his first steps.

Thanks for the comments!! I can't believe how big Brandon is getting either. They are growing up way too fast. As far as the sippy cups, he's really liking the Nuby (the ones without the handles)...you can bite down on them and the juice/water still comes out so it helps them while they are teething. Do you have an email address?? I can send you the link to the exact one.
