The month of March has been filled with a lot more "firsts" for Little Brandon. Above, Brandon got to experience the flower fields of Carlsbad for the first time with his Grandma Lita. I've lived in this town all my life and I've still never been there, so he's got that on me. You can't really tell, but he now has 4 total teeth, 2 on top and 2 on the bottom. When he smiles he looks a little like a cartoon character ;)

Brandon (and us) went on our first plane ride up to Lake Tahoe to visit family together and boy oh boy was that an experience. Brandon did great on the flight, but my stress level didn't come down till we were safely home in Truckee. While we were there we were blessed with a foot of fresh powder which he enjoyed (but Bruce, Beth and I enjoyed even MORE...on the slopes).

Brandon has also taken his first steps (kinda). I'm not sure how to truly judge this, but we can let go of him while standing and he'll take a couple steps and fall down to his knees. That counts, right? Regardless, we're sticking with the theme here.

This month we also started Brandon in his first swimming lessons. He's so comfortable in the water, the first couple lessons have been a piece of cake. Our instructor has been dunking him in the water several times and we've found his one problem....he drinks everytime we do that. We'll be working on that moving forward. Just to throw another one in there, Brandon had his first Easter as well....and in a couple more months and he'll have his first birthday. Ok, I'm done.
