10 Months Old!

Hi everyone. I am 10 months old now! I'm a pretty big deal.
Here is what I have to say about it.

Mommy Makes Me Laugh!!!

Sometimes when I'm eating breakfast, or lunch, or dinner, or second breakfast, mommy plays with me and finds new things to do that make me just CRACK UP!!!

Here's the newest trick.



Isn't she funny?!

I'm cute and hilarious.

Happy New Year!

It's a GREAT NEW YEAR so far, and I'm walking all over the place when I can hold onto people's fingers! It's super fun! I can go where I want to, but mostly it's just to chase after mommy and daddy.I had a good time with Adam and Kristen who came to visit from Buffalo, NY. (They showed off their dance moves on one of our first blog videos.) They're going to have a baby soon! I think they'll make super good parents because they played with me all the time and made me laugh and walked me around the house and fed me food. I was sad when they had to leave.

See?
So sad. But it's a new year, and there's a LOT of walking to look forward to.

Happy New Year everybody! Thanks for reading our blog!

Brecht Family Christmas

So after we opened presents yesterday... remember? It looked like this: ALL of the Brechts came over. I'm talking cousins, grandpas, grandmas, aunts, uncles, greatgrandpa and greatgrandma. MAN, it was a lot of people.
39 people all at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

It was a lot of people.

But I got to see a few of my new friends. I think I call them my 2nd cousins. Jordan is almost my size, but he's only 3 months old. Miranda was born 1 month after me. Their mommy's are cousins with my daddy.

There were SO many people I decided to eat my first stocking to soothe myself.

Then Miranda and I played with the new glockenspiel she gave me.
And we had a "who has the bigger cheeks" contest.

I won.

This is my family. The Brechts.

I love them, and they love me.

Merry Christmas!

PRESENTS!!

The moment has arrived!! The time has come!!
PRESENTS!!
Well, I was more excited about crawling around on the floor with Uncle Cal.I was everywhere! I was gonna open my presents! No one could stop me!

Except for Aunt Jennifer. She's a quick young lady if you ask me.

She handed me over to Grandma. I showered her with kisses all day long. I love my Grandma. She makes me smile.

She got me this cool chair!!

It's just my size.

Check out all the rest of my presents! I think I am one loved little man.


After we opened all those presents, I kinda went comatose. It was definitely naptime for me.
But I haven't stopped playing with Aunt Jennifer's cool tool box she got for me. I also really like the blocks Aunt Nikki got. And Grandma got me so much stuff I haven't even had a chance to use it all yet!

It was worth the wait.

The Day After Christmas

It's the day after my first Christmas and I am STILL hungry! You wouldn't know it by looking at me, ladies and gentlemen, but I ate 3 helpings of Grandma's mashed potatoes and gravy yesterday and came back for more today.

You think that would be enough to satisfy my little tummy, but NO!
I'm eating Cheerios like a big man now.

See?

And only 1 more day and I can open ALL my presents!!

Christmas Day

Guess what?! It's Christmas day and I think Santa came.

Bert was jealous of all my presents.
But mostly he was jealous that Grandpa played with me so much.

We laughed and laughed!
I had SO much fun with Grandpa!

Really? NO! Santa gave ME presents?!

WOW!!!

I was SO excited I ran around the room on Jaxxon! Not even Dad or Uncle Cal could hold me back!

Except for Aunt Jennifer. She's pretty good at catching me.

Then Grandma gave me just one of the presents to open because Uncle Justin and Aunt Nikki weren't coming until SATURDAY. But don't worry... it took me until Saturday to open the first present from Santa.

Because I started chasing after the camera!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!
