brennan grace. stop it. you are growing so quickly and are practically a little GIRL already. the way you look at us sometimes just stops me in my tracks. boy, are we going to have our hands full. so. stinkin. cute.

lately, you love:

* to explore. you are adventurous and love discovering new rooms in the house, new items in my purse, and new routes of escape out of the confines of our usual play area and into the great unknown.

* to wave. this is your new trick. you actually picked it up just today and now do it nonstop.

* to eat sweet potatoes. last night, i actually noticed an orange tint to your skin... maybe we should lay off the beta-carotene and eat more spinach.

* to walk. you're still just cruising around with your push-cart, but you think that you're a pretty big deal as you cruise your way around our living room.
