1st Turkey Day

We went to grandma and grandpa's house for Brecken's first turkey day. He sat in the antique high chair and watched everyone eat dinner and then I fed him some sweet potatoes, peas and cereal. Uncle Jeff held him up to see the light and he really liked that. After dinner, we drove up to Truckee for desert. It was a fun day.



This is brecken's six month picture. I ordered the package with the picture of him sitting up in the blue shirt. When I went to pick them up they had printed the pictures of him in the tub for a special promotional price, of course I couldn't turn them down when he looked so darn cute. So, I got suckered into it. Sometimes I have no will power.










Brecken's new favorite thing to do is say "dada" He is constantly babbling with drool covering his face (2nd tooth broke through on the 21st) I will say "mama" back to him and he looks at me smiles and then keeps saying dada. He knows that I want him to say mama but he thinks dada is a lot more fun. Everyday is more fun with him. I think that 6 months was a big turning point in his development, he gets more of a personality with each day that passes.

Rolling Over




It has been a busy couple of weeks. Brecken learned how to roll over from his tummy to his back. I was in the other room and when I came back he was on him back talking away. At first it took him 5 min. to do it but he can do it in a matter of second now if he wants something.


Brecken sleeping by the ocean. We have taken him to the ocean twice now, to San Diego and to Santa Cruz. Both times he has fallen asleep. Apparently the ocean is not very exciting to him. Daddy had these great plans of putting his foot in to say it was the first time he was in the ocean, but you can’t do that with a sleeping baby.




We went to the Dr. yesterday and we still have a little beef cake. He is 20p. and 27 ¾ in. that puts him in the 85% for weight and 90% for height. I think the nurse thought I was concerned because as soon as she told me she said that he weight was “just right” for his height. He has always been a big baby so I wasn’t surprised at all. I actually thought that he was more.
