Uncle Daniel got married on August 25 to Annette. She is from Australia and I'm super excited to have another auntie. Lots of family came into town and I got to meet some of my 2nd cousins on my Nana's side. Caroline who is 3 months younger and Max who is 9 months older were so much fun to play with. I especially loved playing ring around the rosey with Caroline and singing Itsy Bitsy Spider.
On a side note from mommy: the terrible two's are coming out. We are currently not able to go to out to any restaurant for the foreseeable future. Brandon is just not able to sit at the table- so for right we are eating all dinners at home- we hope to return to the restaurant seen at some point! Also Brandon has a couple new tricks. He now climbs out of his crib and can scale the pantry shelves. Yes he disappeared for about 1 minute into the kitchen last night, and I found him at the TOP shelf of the pantry. Just when you think everything in the house is "child proof" you have your almost 2 year old show you that you don't! With the climbing out of the crib, it has now become difficult for nap time. Now we have incorporated a few more walks outside to tire him out- in hopes that he forgets about climbing out- we have been successful a few times. He even will wake up in the morning and instead of his usual "momma" "dadda" that you hear through the monitor, he won't say anything, quietly climb out of his crib, open his door and yell from the top of the stairs "momma". At this point I usually hear the door open and am ready for his move down the stairs. It seems as if these terrible twos are coming on strong..... wish us luck- especially since he is just so darn cute.
