A post for Brennan!

Is it possible for this to be going to slowly and too quickly at once?...Because that's what's happening. And that's all I will say about that.

At the age of 13 months, 11 months corrected, Brennan knows two signs and says six words. Okay, mostly half words! He says "mo mo" for more, for example. But it counts! What a smart little boy! He's so smart, in fact, that in the last two days he's walked into the wall three different times! That poor boy does take after his mama.
We've been dealing with serious, uh, rear end issues ever since Friday. I'm starting to think maybe he is lactose intolerant after all. I really, really hope not, because cheese is his favorite food and yogurt is one of the few ways I can sneak healthy food into him! This boy will not eat whole vegetables unless they are pureed. Fine, we have a blender. But no, he is a Big Boy now and won't eat baby food! I don't know how to get him past the texture of veggies. For now we've gone back to formula until we can figure out if the milk is making him sick or not.
Brennan had his first overnight away from home this past week! I surprised Ken by having his parents pick Brennan up on the way home from work. It was tough to be away from my baby, but I did enjoy myself! Don't tell anybody. I love that little guy to pieces, and I'm mentally blocking out the fact that I am going to be gone for 5 weeks this spring. I'm actually starting to think that I will come home for the ten day wait, and go back alone. We'd have to find more money to do it that way, and I'm a little leery of traveling in a foreign country all by myself. I'm not really the adventurous type, so we'll see.
First, we need to raise the money to get there in the first place! We are having a fundraising concert and silent auction on December 3rd at our church in Blaine. I hope I will see you there!
