Well here we are . . . lucky number 8 and Brandon continues to grow like a weed. He weighs about 20 lbs and I'm starting to think his days in the infant car seat are numbered.
It seems to me that Brandon did a lot of growing this past month. He continues to work on recently acquired skills like holding his own bottle and feeding himself but he now sleeps through the night and is completely weaned from me. His hair has grown and he looks more and more like his daddy every day.
But what's interesting to me is how his behavioural side has begun to develop. If Brandon has something and you take it from him, such as the remote control, he'll cry and have a hissy fit. If you have something Brandon wants, such as the telephone, and don't give it to him, he'll cry and have a hissy fit. He's also showing very early signs of separation anxiety. He's happy to play by himself but if he looks up and notices all of a sudden that I'm not there, he'll cry and have a hissy fit.
I'm probably making it sound like Brandon has hissy fits all the time and really he doesn't. He's still quite a happy baby and enjoys all the things he used to like the cats and his jumperoo. He was recently given a push car to ride on and he really likes that. He also loves to go swimming and hang out with his friends from play group. He still hates getting his PJs put on but I've got a feeling that will never change ;)
We keep waiting for a tooth to appear. For the past few months we've been thinking it will pop any day but still nothing. Brandon drools like crazy and chews on whatever he can get in his hands but still we wait. He's also not crawling yet. I've heard that some babies never crawl and I wonder if that will be Brandon. He just doesn't seem interested in going anywhere. I suppose one day he'll get up and walk away but for now at least I always know where he is :)
