Cheerios-ohs-ohs-ohs!

Dad: Tell me about these pictures, Brian.
Brian: Well, here I'm showing everyone how well I eat my Cheerios.

Dad: I see you have quite a few in your mouth there. Is that typical, to put so many into your mouth all at once?
Brian: Yes, I eat Cheerios by the fistful so that I maximize the chances of at least one Cheerio getting into my mouth.
Dad: What about using a pincer-type grasp to put one at a time in?
Brian: Pincer grasp? What's that? Dad, did you forget how old I am? Pincer grasp doesn't come until 9 to 12 months!
Dad: Oh, sorry. Well, you take your time, then.
Brian: Dad, I'll be shovelling Cheerios by the fistful even after I've developed my "pincer grasp"
Dad: Sigh.

Dad: What's going on here? I see you have a bit of a boogie in your nose.
Brian: Geez, thanks for letting the WHOLE WORLD know I have boogers in my nose. I was sick this past week, remember?
Dad: Oops, I guess this is the internet. Well, I'm glad you're feeling better.

Bouncing, part deux...

Brian found bouncing to be much more fun when there's room to bounce around - this is at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Delaware - there's at least 3 doorway-widths worth of space to jump around in down here!

I drink milk!

Dad: So what's going on in this sequence of pictures?
Brian: Well, I'm going to show you how well I can hold my sippy cup!

Dad: That's some pretty good sippy cup-holding technique you're demonstrating there.
Brian: Sometimes I just chew on my sippy cup because I'm teething - finally!

Dad: Looks like you're having a good time.
Brian: Yeah, Mommy is making funny noises and faces over there.
Dad: Oh that Mommy, what a jokester!

I put things in my mouth

We went with our next door neighbors to the Maple Tree Inn for buckwheat pancakes and real maple syrup today. Yum! Brian had some pancakes too!

Mr. Chubbs

Took a lot of pictures of him, most of them were a bit fuzzy, so here he is, the chubby monkey. Oh and lately, he's been waking up crying several times each night... Yay!

Yes folks, 7 months old and he can stack rings on a peg! Just kidding, he just bangs them together and eats the pieces. But he likes it a lot. Thanks Auntie Denise and Uncle Tim!

Bounce, bounce, bounce!

Brian really likes his newest toy!
