Would you believe...

...Brand is almost four months old? Brand has been busy busy busy.  In the last few weeks Brand has continued to eat eat and eat!  The best part of his eating experience is when he puts his little hands together and squeezes them tightly - this means he is HUNGRY and ready to eat.  We call it his "praying" pose (picture of this to come).  When Brand says his prayers, it means he is ready to eat & ASAP!  Then when he is done, he pooches his bottom lip.  So adorable!  Oh and did I mention that Brand is most likely more than 16 pounds; his next official weigh in is on the 20th, so we'll see how much he's really grown.

Brand has also learned to use his voice.  He talks and talks & loves to coo and scream (he's exploring the different tones and pitches he can make & it's so cute!)  He also loves to laugh and smile at us - especially when we make silly faces

He is reaching for and grabbing his toys, rolling over & bouncing up and down on our laps.  Soon he'll be sitting up un-assisted and CRAWLING...

Here are some of the fun things Brand has done in the last few months:

Hung out with the de Anda clan in Laredo (sorry auntie Mel & Catherine I couldn't find a picture to post - next time)

And on our way back home we spent some time with Gigi, Uncle Bart & Cousin Chelsae:

More recently we've had our first Easter and Brand's Baptism - stay tuned for more pictures soon.
