Lakeshore Learning

I think Brandt might sprout his first molar soon. He's been a little grumpy the last two mornings and while I can't feel anything inside his mouth, it looks like his left bottom gum has stuff going on below the surface. Thankfully he's still sleeping fine at this point. Actually, maybe not. I accidentally woke Bettie up at 6am, and she in turn woke Brandt up and he wouldn't go back to sleep (he usually sleeps until 7:30/8:00, if not later). I don't think he's ever been awake so early. We took advantage of the early hour and walked the dogs. Then he caught up on sleep by taking a monster nap from 9 to noon.

Well rested, we went to Lakeshore Learning in the afternoon. Brandt found a lot of fun stuff to play with. He was most excited by the bouncey balls, but he spent a little time with the globes (the thematic cartographer in Dan will like that!) and drums. That store will really be dangerous when he's old enough to play with more stuff--I'll want to buy everything!

And here's a first look at the sweet new Sweet Shoes. He seemed to walk just as well with the shoes on. Go soft soles! He's still only taking five or so steps at a time, though. And always with the mummy arms. I'll try to get another video soon since the mummy arm phase is the cutest phase.

I weighed Brandt yesterday (we were at the other Barbara Greenspun Center to talk to the new mommy mixer about various AP stuff) and he's 19 pounds 3 ounces. The last couple days he's felt so big to me so I figured he was up another pound. Woo hoo!
