The last month has been huge in terms of development for Brandon. He can now crawl forward on all fours. And is he ever fast! He is so fast that we cannot take our eyes off him for even a second. This has prompted us to consider creating a playroom for Brandon - a completely "kid zone" friendly place where he can go nuts and we don't have to worry about his safety . . . at least not nearly as much.
Brandon has also become very good at standing up. He's surprisingly strong for only being about 20 lbs. If he can get a good hold of a chair, table or knee he can pull himself up to standing. He's trying to "cruise" but he's not very good at it yet.
He has a total of six teeth now and his appetite remains strong. Aside from the obvious like nuts and shellfish, there isn't anything he hasn't tried. We're slowly weaning him off formula and introducing him to cow's milk. He likes it well enough when it's in a bottle but doesn't much care for it in a sippy cup. I think it's because he believes sippy cups are for water but I don't really know, I'm just guessing :)
Brandon and I are taking music lessons every Monday morning. Of all the things we've tried, he seems to like music classes the best. He can bang on drums, hit the triangle, dance with scarves and shake the maracas. So far he's loving all of it!
This month we should be pretty busy. Brandon is going to try his first Thanksgiving dinner - first at the neighbours and then at the Finnigan's. Soon after that is his first Halloween. Brandon is going to be a bear this year so stay tuned for some cute photos. And only a week or so after that, we'll be celebrating his 1st birthday. Isn't that amazing! Time really does go fast. I'd better get started on planning a little party for him now :)
