More picts from 4th of July weekend!

Brendan is just getting to be so big. Wanted to post some more picts from yesterday. I still haven't fixed his horrible haircut yet, so bear with us until we do! :D (And he doesn't QUITE match...Lamar dressed him...LOL...good enough though...Brendan doesn't know!) Again with the blurriness...GRRR! You can still see how grown up he's getting though!

He likes to stand up on everything now, especially the leather couches...and then he likes to CHEW on them! He's worse than a puppy! :D Our solution for him crawling up the stairs...it got scary last week when he fell down just one stair and bruised his cheek! With us sitting right there with him! So we're going to have to teach him how to come down the stairs, so it's not so scary for us! Here he is trying to get to our new gate...

Hey Buddy, what are you doin'??? :)

Tryin' to get Mommy's camera as usual. He LOVES to sit and watch videos of himself!!! :D

Hi happy guy!I think he looks like me as a baby in this one!

Okay...so he just learned what "SO BIG!" means...or at least he knows to put his hands up over his head when I say it. Or "All gone!"...he does the same thing. I got him on camera doing it finally! It's cute. He's getting so tall!

Another one of "So big!"...he's so fun. I LOVE it that he's starting to understand our words/inflections and know what we mean.

K...this next video is soooo fun! Lamar is chasing him down the hallway into our spare/guest room. No that is not our bed. It's a foam mattress we use for guests that we haven't put back up yet. :) But Brendan loves playing on it, so it's hard to get up the motivation to put it up. Brendan JUST figured out today what "I'm gonna getcha" means, and now it's his new favorite game. I know all kids love this, it's just cute when it's your first kid and they first get it and want to play. :) Something clicks in their brains and they suddenly can PLAY with you. It's SO CUTE! Lamar is such a good daddy. I love watching them play.

Now, let me explain my comment at the end...it sounds funny. Lamar yesterday was pretending to be in a boxing match with Brendan, lightly touching him as a 'punch' and Brendan would BURST out laughing and try to touch/punch Lamar back. It's another favorite game of Brendan's. So when I tell Lamar to pretend to punch him, I promise we're not abusing our child! He LOVES it. AND my camera died right before the burst of laughter happens, after the punch, so it looks funny. :) :) :) LOL! But it's darling. I'll try to get it on camera tomorrow/this week sometime so you can see how much he loves 'fighting'! He's all boy. I love it! :D So hope that explains my 'punch' comment! Don't call social services! LOL
