Brandon James: 2007-05-06

What mess?

Poor Devon. That's all I can say, two of us now, I don't know how she keeps up; and I just told her to fire the cleaning ladies. She's one lucky gal!

May, 2007

He is gorgeous, even with a receding hair-line.

I swear he learned this from me. I love my sleep, and it's even better when it's the face down, drooling, wrapped in the covers, taking up the whole bed kinda sleep. He's gotten to kicking me in the ribs when he wants more room, now I'm thinking soccer player?

Sleeping, May 8, 2007

This is the little guy just Tuesday morning, I swear your honor, I was late to court for a good reason.

First Haircut May 2007

Here's a shot with Grandma Pat at the stylists' (barber shop). It was long past time for a hair cut, but we were trying to honor his cousin's tradition of waiting until the one-year mark. Unfortunately, we took him to brunch one Sunday and a lady commented on what a cute girl we had. That was the limit for me. Now, I'm realizing that short hair has to be cut every few weeks, and I don't know if I can keep up with it.

Grandpa Jim and Grandma Pat

This is one of the first visits that the GP's took to the house. I can only tell because Brandon is still so chubby in this picture. I thought I'd add this one to the mix so that people could actually see Grandma Pat's face and also their crazy resemblence to Brandon.

Grandpa Jim

Grandpa Jim enjoying some time with our boy. A dip in the pool and a trip on the ferris wheel in Long Beach.

Wilderness? April 2007

Devon and the young guy at the Gene Autry center. I love this picture because it looks like we actually went on a hike. Truthfully, we haven't gone on a hike since Brandon came to live with us because we can't decide who will carry him.

Mr. Magoo

He has been doing this "Mr. Magoo" face for a while. It is like a laugh, but without sound. I must admit, I love his giggle more than any other sound in the world. If I ever figure out how to post a clip of it, I will.

Suit and Tie

This is Brandon's first day at work. He had been to the office many times, but this is the first day he actually met with clients. We will take billable hours anywhere we can find them.

March 2007

First Crawl March 2007

This is the first time I saw him crawl. Of course, Grandpa Jim saw it days earlier while he was babysitting. Grandpa Jim saw the first time he stood up and the first steps. From now on, Grandpa Jim has to keep his eyes closed when he babysits.
