Dan the Man and Brandt the Mandt

I'm seeing double!

For lucky 7/7/7 we put Brandt in his mini-Danny outfit (thanks, Copperman and Jamie!) and he rocked it...and looked just like a miniature Dan.

I really wanted to take the dapper duo out for a walk, but rather than brave the 111 degree heat outside I had the bright idea to hit the mall. I'm now reminded why I hate malls, but at least we got some good walking in. If I'm feeling the need for a walk tomorrow we'll either drive the hour to Mt. Charleston or check out the fancy Fashion Show Mall where we can at least people-watch the tourists or cross the street to Wynn if it's too full of mall rats.

Yesterday Brandt and I made it to the new mommy mixer. I noticed halfway through that all the boy babies had ended up on one side of the room and all the girl babies on the other--I thought that didn't start until school dances! So Brandt's "Hello-oo-o Ladies!" onesie was wasted on his neighbors (well, the moms dug it). Brandt was again by far the cutest and smartest baby in the bunch. Since he was happily snoozing in his sling and I didn't have the heart to wake him, I didn't weigh him at the end of the meeting, but I did measure him once we got home and he's now 23.25 inches (59 centimeters) long.

Developmentally, we're working on mommy-assisted rolling over this week. He sometimes rolls over on his own, but I think it's accidental since it tends to piss him off. He's also started giggling, but only a little bit so far.

Le Tour de France update: yippee, the Tour started today and Brandt wore his Team Astana Blue gpants all day (OK, normally they're called Global Blue gpants) in honor of Alexander Vinokourov, his pick to win the Tour. Go Vino!
