8 Months Old





Brandon is now 8 months old and it still just feels like yesterday that we were blessed with this beautiful baby boy..... and now he seems to be changing into a little toddler before our eyes. Brandon has been crawling for a few weeks now but has now changed into a different gear.... FAST! He can pull up on everything, loves biting everything to include Grandmas favorite coffee table, he waves goodbye and laughs at the same time, he says mum-ma, dada dada pretty good, he stands very well by himself and can move around the table walking with assistance.... we figure he will be walking around 9-10 months.... definately an over-achiever but nothing less is expected of this little boy;) We are thankful for his swim lessons and his love for water because he definately loves being in the water and we love that- he splashs A LOT and likes to kick his chubby little legs.....

I don't know his exact measurements but he is around 20-21lbs.... pretty average for his age:)

First Beach Trip- OBX

Hanging out in the house
At the beach
Brandon had his very first trip to the beach- Outer Banks in Nags Head North Carolina:) We spent an entire week there and it was very relaxing and full of fun! Our friends the Mayes Family and Peters Family shared the same house. Our week consisted of heading out to the beach at some point in the mid-morning where we only stayed for about 3 hours. Brandon and his friend Trent mainly napped down at the beach so mommy and daddy could have some "cold beverages." The water was pretty chilly the first couple days but it warmed up towards the end. The afternoon was spent by the pool- Brandon enjoyed splashing around in his little float. A new thing has emerged as well- Brandon now has a slight head butt and did this multiple times to his friend Trent (we say thanks daddy for teaching him this)- we currently say it's just a sign of love:) The beach was full of great weather, food,memories and most of all awesome company:) We are definately looking forward to next years trip!
