Brett & the Guitar

Brett really likes to hangout with me as I play guitar. He is always very intrigued by the strings. We will be releasing our first father/son album soon. Overall, he is doing great. Crawling really has opened up a whole new world for him. I think it has also started to annoy the kitties! Tomorrow we are having people over so I am sure Brett will enjoy all the activity. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Brett's cousin is a....girl

Just found out that Brett's cousin is going to be a girl! Jason and Megan are due in early Jan. so we still have to wait a little bit to meet her. The hand me downs will have to wait for the next baby. It will be fun watching them grow up.

The video I posted is from last weekend at out friend Rachel's wedding. Brett got dressed up for the occasion too (mathched Kristin who was in the wedding). Weather was hot, but we had a good time.

Brett is crawling!

On Sunday Brett started putting the motions together and started crawling! While it's not super fast he's able to get to objects far away now. The baby proofing has begun! Him and I were out on the grass after work and he kept crawling towards Annie. Check out the videos.....

Brett Sleeping Shhhhhhhhhhh

Brettski

Brett had a great day! Kristin took him to Target and bought him his own remote control (of course the Seasame Street version) and he loves it. Now he won't take ours and change the channel during the middle of golf. This morning we got up at 6am and had fun getting ready for the day. He seems to like watching me run around the kitchen. Tonight he fell asleep in a funny position. I promise to post tomorrow.

Brett is feeling better!

On Friday, Brett starting showing signs of being sick so Kristin took him to the doctor. Apparently, he got Coxsackie infection, which is fairly common in babies. The symptoms for Brett included high fever and sores in his mouth which made it difficult for him to eat. This concerned us so much that we took him to the ER in Chelsea on Saturday morning because he would not eat and had not had a wet diaper for a while. The ER said he was not yet dehydrated and to keep trying to give him liquids. Believe it or not we were in and out of there under an hour and it's only 5 minutes away. Unfortunately, on Sat. Kristin had a wedding shower she had to throw so I worked on getting him better. Every 30 minutes or so I had to use a liquid syringe to feed him a little at a time. Half would leak out of his mouth and I could tell he was in pain. Obviously, he was not sleeping good and thus we weren't. Some how we got through it and Brett is doing TONS better today. It was rough to see him like that but now I know we can get through it! I took him for a walk already and he is acting more and more like himself. While he has not started breastfeeding again, he has no problem taking a bottle. We hope his sleep habits and the breastfeeding returns soon. I'll update early this week.
