I know it's been a long time since I've written, though I've found time to post some pictures, at least.
Things have been great lately! Brent is officially 100% walking, and it's the most adorable thing he's done, if I had to pick one. He falls a lot, but mostly because he is trying to RUN already, though he's only been walking for about a week or so. Sometimes he'll try following me down the hallway, and I'll put my arms out. He'll get all excited and hurry to get to me. Then I lift him up and act like he's just won the olympics! His little face lights up like he's just the happiest kid in the world. And sometimes, I really think he might be.
Sure, we have our spats these days. The car rides are still a major hassle. I spend half the time trying to ignore his tantrums, and the other half saying "NO!" really sternly hoping to somehow communicate how completely annoying he's being. It doesn't really work though, so I go back to ignoring him, or turn the radio up and hope he screams himself to sleep. Sometimes he puts his arms out toward me so pitifully, as if I am the worlds cruelest mother for strapping him to that seat and refusing to pick him up. I guess until I can explain to him that I'm currently driving down the highway at 70 mph, we're stuck with this little routine.
But besides a few ripples, I couldn't ask for anything sweeter. And he's getting so smart, too! I was sitting in the living room yesterday while he was running around, and I asked him where Daddy was. He pointed down the hallway and said "Da-da". My boy! Or sometimes he'll saunter down the hall to find him. Or sometimes he just gets bored and wander off in search of better company. Who can blame him, really?
Well, I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. And I'll try to write more often.
