Howdy everyone! Brandon is now 4.5 months old and has had quite a month. We started Brandon on solids 2.5 weeks ago and his first human food was rice cereal mixed with milk. I was licking my chops just watching him. How did he react? Well, very similar to Beth's reaction to mushrooms. How he learned how to make a "yuck" face is beyond me. He has now enjoyed Avocado, Sweet Potatoes and Peas. Maybe we'll try Brussel Sprouts next....Poor kid.
The transformation from 3 months to 4 months has been massive. Brandon now makes great eye contact, giggles, and smiles like he's been doing it all his life. Nothing starts my day off better than seeing him smile and giggle at me when I'm changing him in the morning. People have commented on how "strong" Brandon is because he is constantly trying to stand up and wiggle like a fish, but we just attribute that to his tree trunk legs.
As you can see, Brandon has kinda figured out how to sit up on his own. Let me clarify though. We put him like this and stays still....so we count that as sitting up! The funny part is watching him lean to one side and falling over. We're practicing daily and it shouldn't be long before he's doing this on his own. Also present in this picture is his glistening chin....we've found that his true talent and passion is creating spit and spreading it all over his clothes. 
Here is a classic picture of LB and LG. I know their heads aren't quite the same (Tyler's mommy has a PhD, and his daddy was a mechanical engineer)....but LB weighs just as much as his little body guard, so I'm proud. Linemen are always bigger than their running backs and that's what I keep reminding myself. We can't wait for the two of them to finally notice each other and for LB to crack his first joke about LG. 
Here's Brandon practicing his sitting up skills once again...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
OK, I'm just trying to blow your minds. That's ME when I was a baby back in 1978. Mother Nature is a mad scientist, I tell ya. See ya next month!
