In just ten short months, Brandon has gone from being my little baby boy to my big baby boy. At 19.14 lbs and 29.5 inches, Brandon is busy exploring the world, "talking" up a storm and eating everything in site.
For weeks Brandon has been getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth. Jamie and I thought for sure he was going to go forward any day. Well this morning - he finally did! This a big deal for mommy as now I have to run out and buy some baby gates. The house is mostly child proof but as Brandon was getting around this morning, I realized I have some more work to do.
Last week Brandon went into his "big boy" car seat. I've suddenly lost the convenience of carting my guy around in a bucket seat but his new seat fits him better and is definitely safer for him.
I mentioned in my last post that Brandon was cutting some new teeth. They are the top four middle teeth to be exact and they are giving him a really hard time. They come down and then go back up again. This doesn't seem fair but apparently it's quite common for teeth to do that. One finally did break through yesterday morning and Brandon seems a little happier but for the most part, I miss my content mellow baby.
Brandon continues to nap twice a day and sleep 12 hours at night. His favourites still include cats, water, eating, playgroup and now a fun game of peek-a-boo. He still hates getting his PJs on but now he also hates getting into his new car seat.
I'm back to work in less than two months and the hunt for good child care is in full swing. We've visited a few spots that I feel really comfortable with and we'll have to make our decision next week. I find myself wrestling all the time with the fact that I won't be with him 24 hours a day anymore. I know it's a mother's job to let go sometimes but honestly, I'm just not there yet.
