It was a special day today for Brendan. He has now officially been “around the block”, only I mean it literally. We loaded the stroller with the two boys and Bill and I took a walk around the whole large block. We even passed 4-5 yard sales along the way. It was just over 3/4 of a mile.

It was a special day for Trevor, during breakfast this morning, I saw that a new little tooth had just cut through the gum line. That is his fourth one on the bottom now, and he has the one top one just part way in. That makes it 5 teeth each now, although I think Brendan has one on the way, just not sure which one.

Brendan did something else new today at lunchtime. All this time watching Trevor must have been motivating. I put a pile of Cheerios in front of him because he usually likes to push them around. Today he decided to grab one and put it in his mouth! Bill and I were shocked. It did not make him mad, but he did not know what to do with it once it was in there. It didn’t stop him from shoving in two more!
He shoved them around his mouth a little and they ended up in his cheek where they started to dissolve. Then he finally started to spit them out. Sorry for the yucky picture, it was a big deal for him!

Trevor says all his Cheerios are in his big full belly!

There is always room for one more bite of avocado though, he loves it

Brendan did actually have a little bit of a Cheerio cause him to gag. Suctioning out his drooly mouth was the only fix, although Brendan insists on doing it himself.

We had a very full day and we have a long night ahead of us.
Aunt Erin is in the hospital for another night, it is looking like it may be meningitis, we will know more tomorrow. The boys send healing kisses with baby drool and we hope that she is able to recover quickly.
