A couple of things

Taken today...love the double chin when he's sitting in my pillow. He's feeling better! Yay!

Just wanted to share a couple of things.

A couple of nights ago Brendan was falling asleep, so he wasn't too fidgety. He was cuddling in my arms looking up at me without moving around as usual. He was intensely studying my face and looked so happy. I told him "I love you Brendan...soooo much!" He looked at me in my eyes and both of us had so much love in our eyes...it was too much for him...he laughed!! We were sitting there smiling at eachother with so much love that he kept laughing softly! He'd study my face smiling, and then stare through my eyes into my soul and laugh. There were so many sparkles of mommy/baby love. We love eachother! I almost cried. I can tell he already has a huge capacity to love, like his mommy....his little eyes give him away. They are so old already...just full of love and happiness. I loved so much that he seemed to understand the love in my eyes, and then returned it. :)

Brendan has started getting visually excited for his bottle! He just about jumps out of my arms every time Daddy brings the bottle over! Well today he decided that he wanted the bottle in his mouth even if he wasn't that hungry. He would pool the milk in his mouth and then SPIT it all over me!!! (Nipple still in his mouth) Then he would just giggle!!! I'd giggle too and say "No no honey...that's not how you're supposed to eat", taking the bottle away from him temporarily...trying not to laugh...and he could sense I was laughing at him. So he did it over and over again 'cause he could tell mommy thought he was being funny. :) He's very perceptive. The little stinker.

We found another thing that makes him laugh huge belly laughs...we'll try to get it on tape tomorrow. We'll take his feet and bonk them on our foreheads, and then pretend he kicked us-fall backward with sound effects. Oh he just LAUGHS!!! He thinks that it is so funny to 'kick' mommy and daddy in the forehead. Especially when we take his feet and go really really fast 'kicking' our forehead...he sounds like he's going to laugh so hard he's going to explode!!! It's so funny. It's probably not a good thing to start...LOL...but it is so cute that it makes him laugh sooo hard! We'll have to get it on video. It's adorable.

Tonight I was eating a bowl of soup in front of him and he started yelling for some, with his mouth wide open! And getting mad about it! So I quickly scooped him up and fed him some more rice cereal...the little thing PIGGED OUT! He had a whole bowl of rice cereal, AND a whole huge container of peas! AND a bottle!!! He was a hungry little monkey tonight. I just thought it was funny that he wanted to eat what mommy had NOW!

I joined Weight Watchers last week...ugh...not working fast enough!!!! Hopefully soon...
