Giggles!

One of my favorites......

Bowling

Last weekend we all went bowling! Brett was unsure of it at first but as we played more he thought it was pretty cool. I forgot how good of a bowler Kristin was, she almost beat me in the first game. The bowling alley in Chelsea is smoke free so I think we will be going more this winter.

Brett in Jail

Brett is now standing by himself more regularly. I don't think he will be full-on walking by Christmas, but I am sure we can show the Grandparents some "baby steps". He seems to be getting a voice too. His first official word is definitely "ma-ma". He started putting that one together last weekend. We are also working on more aggressive sleep techniques as Brett has become more and more stubborn about good sleep habits. Last night went a lot better so we hope more sleep is on the way for The Bingham's!

Brett's Santa Adventure

Catching Up

It's been a fun last week. For Thanksgiving, we went over to Brett's Great Aunt and Uncle's house in Manchester. We had lots of good food and lots of great company. There were plenty of other kids there that Brett could hangout with. Then last Saturday we had some more good eats at a friend's house. Some of Brett's buddies were there from mother/baby group so he was having fun. New toys at other people's house is always exciting to an 11 month old.

Kristin has been decorating the house for Christmas and getting a lot of help from Brett. He loves all the ornaments and the other fun holiday stuff. Yesterday I put up the Christmas lights as Brett looked on. When we came back in the house we were playing near a low drawer and I gave him something to hold on to. While he was holding it, he didn't even realize it and ended up standing up all by himself for a good 10 seconds. Kristin got a good glimpse too. I know it wasn't long but it's a start! Below is more recent video of Brett & I jamming!
