Brendan turns 14 weeks and celebrates his first Thanksgiving

November has been a crazy month for Brendan. In the beginning of the month he was busy celebrating Tuck and Aunt Danas birthdays, joining a mommy and me group and even checking out the Academy of Science in San Francisco. He slept through most of that and the Planiterium freaked him out so him and I had to leave while Mike got to enjoy. We had no plans to head East when unfortunatly Mikes dear Uncle passed away. He was a wonderful man and will be missed so much. After this turn of events we decided to head back East to see everyone and try to bring a little joy to a sad situation by introducing them all to Brendan. He met the whole gang. He got to meet all his wonderful aunts, uncles and cousins in New York as well as New Jersey. We were so excited to introduce him to his three wonderful great grandmothers who all adored him and he got some special quality time with his Grandma and Grandpa. He did an awesome job on both plane rides he really is an amazing baby. When we got back we got to see all the California family after the Christmas tree lighting. Then on Saturday Brendan got to meet his Aunt Beth and have dinner with his Aunt Hilary and Uncle Andy. We rounded out the crazy month with heading to Half Moon Bay to bring Scoobs to the beach and get Brendans first Christmas tree. It was such a fun day and he loved hanging out with Nanny, Poppy, Kenzie and Cass. He is busy trying to roll over and loves using his voice. I head back to work tomorrow and am not looking forward to it but know Brendan will be in good hands and will be racing home from work everyday to see him. Happy Thanksgiving to all and hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season.

Brendan 11 weeks

Brendan went to the doctor today and weighs 11 pounds 6 ounces and is 22 3/4 inches long. He is doing all the things he should be and growing and growing. He is such a happy boy and loves to smile and giggle. We have been going on a lot of fun family adventures, to the beach, San Fran, restaurants and lots of walks. Brendan really loves to be outside and explore the world. Auntie Jules came for a visit last weekend and Brendan loved all the attention from her and her Aunt Shell, Aunt Cate and Aunt Hil and Uncles Justin and Andy. We are so excited for the holidays to come and especially our New Years trip to Mexico. Hope all are well.

Brendan is 10 weeks!

On Friday Brendan turned 10 weeks old and he is becoming such a funny boy. He loves to give out lots of smiles and perform his new tricks of punching and kicking in the air. He loves to go under his "school" and kick at all the toys that are hanging above him. He is practicing using his voice and talking to Scoobie. Scoobs is becoming very protective and loves to lie next to Brendan and gives him more and more kisses. We are still working on his love for his crib he is very attached to sleeping next to his mom in his co-sleeper. I sort of love it too. Mike had Hernia surgery on Wednesday so Brendan and I have been trying to nurse him back to health. The patient is doing well and feeling better every day. We now both have impressive scars. Brendan had a great first Halloween. He got dressed in a black outfit with a ghost on it and a ghost hat. We of went to Saint Rita and Brendan got lots of love from my fellow teachers and loved looking at all the kids. He was even in the faculty picture. Later in the day we headed to Aunt Danas and got to see Maddie, Tuck and Beach in their costumes. So Cute! To finish the day the three of us got pizza and went home and Brendan got in his pumpkin pajamas from his Grandma Patty. Love to all!
