Mimi and Andy

My Mimi and Andy came to visit me this weekend.

They got some great pictures of me

Mommy made me this outfit I had to wear and show my Mimi.

Mimi wanted a picture of my two front teeth.

We went to eat and I was a good boy the whole time.

Thank you for coming to see me. I love you guys.

Eight months

Our little boy is eight months. He is so much fun these days. I have a hard time putting him down. He loves to laugh and play with Ryan, and is always giggling at him. He has two bottom teeth, and we are awaiting the top two any day now. He is trying to crawl but thinks it is much more fun to roll then roll some more. He is waving bye bye to the nursery workers; when we leave he will say the "B-B" sound but not quite bye bye yet. He is saying DADADA all the time, but we are not yet counting these as his first words. Ryan and I took Brantley to our Neighborhood fair this weekend. We had so much fun together. Daddy is so proud of this hat he got for me.

Brantley tried so hard to get his hands on the cotton candy.

Daddy won us a Big Purple Dinosaur! Way to go Daddy

Mommy thought it would be fun to ride on the baby swings, but it made her sick.

Roll Tide

" Let's play some football boys"

" I am here if you need a break, Julio. "

"Watch out Leigh Tiffin, I am getting ready for those Bulldogs. "

"Coach Saban how can you say you can't put me in yet; Julio is young too?"

"Looking good boys, Roll Tide!"

Our little boy is growing up

Heather Swanner is a local photographer and she is also from Valley. We met her for a session last week and she posted a few pictures of Brantley on her blog. She is phenomenal. Can't wait to get them in. Here is our little six month old.

Ride 'em, Cowboy!!

Wanted: Brantley the Kid

Height: 25 inches

Weight: 17 lbs (with diaper)

Eyes: Baby blue

Hair: barely, with rub ring in back

Proceed with caution when approaching from either end.

He is likely armed and dangerous.

Known as the fastest measuring cup or spinny mirror draw east of the Mississippi.

When Brantley is not playing cowboys, he likes to pretend to be a magician. Here he is caught red handed in his vanishing act. This occasion, we left the room, and to our panic, later discovered the room void of our baby. He, however, has learn to multi-roll until he gets under the nearest shelter, i.e. his crib. The dust ruffles are meant to keep out dust, but not a baby boy with much momentum.

Here is Brantley's first lone swing ride. He seemed to thoroughly enjoy himself, but he is still a little small for the crotch-bucket seat.

At the outdoor movie, Baby Bear and Daddy both exhibit their patented postprandial glaze-out.

Brantley's Friends

I am a little behind on posting these pictures form our play dates two weeks ago.

Brantley, Ryan, and Jake Now.

Jake, Ryan and Brantley almost 6 months ago. How they have grown. It has been so much fun to watch them grow.

Ryan admiring Jake's ability to get his mouth around the blue ring.

Porter's Mommy let Brantley take a bath with him and we all had so much fun.

Thanks for being my friends.
