Brennan's First Trip to the Milwaukee Zoo

So happy to be at the zoo!!Comparing Brennan to a baby gorilla--he was too facinated by his toes which he's recently discovered, he wasn't participating in the fun
so tired after a long afternoon at the zoo!

New Pictures from Brennan's Third Month (with a few others thrown in)

These three pictures are from the end of May, so not his third month, but cute. He's wearing his huge floppy hat with his Great Grandma.
Taking a much needed nap on the couch.


In the waiting room before his two month appointment. 9 weeks old

playing in the mirror while we waited for the doctor to come in
smiley boy--9 weeks old
wearing the same outfit and still smiling--11 weeks old
just chilling with daddy (this was before he started to tip over, we were just pretending he can sit up! )

Growing Big and Strong!

Life is continuing in the Mauer household, many times still in a state of chaos--luckily we seem to either be getting used to the craziness of life or it's lessening! I don't even remember what it's like to exist without a little person depending on us--Brennan's a great addition to our life and definitely makes each day an adventure!!

Brennan had his two month check-up this past Monday--he's growing up big and strong! He is now 12 pounds, 13 ounces and 23 3/4 inches long. He is extremely alert and notices pretty much everything going on--he loves to look around and provides lots of big smiles! It's fun to see how simple things (usually inanimate objects) make him so happy!

He's figured out that his hands cause a reaction, so has been very interested in hitting his toys so they fall over or make noises.

Basically it's fun to see him interact with the world around him--who knew such simple things could become so all-consuming and that these things would captivate us so much each and every day!

I haven't uploaded many new pictures recently, i'll post two from Brennan's first soccer experience last weekend (he got to come to the 2008 Kindergarten Jamboree for my job)!

Hopefully newer pictures will come soon!
