Thanksgiving with Grandparents Blanton, Lane and Bedow!

We started the Thanksgiving festivities the weekend before at Aunt Didi's house with the visit from the Dibblets! Brosnan had a little case of stranger-danger and was feeling a little shy! Simon worked HARD to earn his friendship and before long they were playing like old buds!

Grandma Gail and Brosnan read the book that the Maurers sent down for him.

I am not really sure what is happening here, but it sure looks like the two of them are singing a tune together!

Brosnan got to meet Ivory for the first time!

Brosnan LOVED playing horsey with Grandpa Rick! A big thanks to Grandma Rene for her assistance! We saw what happened earlier in the weekend when Brosnan tried to swing on the big boy swing! We still have some work to do to learn how to hold on!

Will and Brosnan!

It was so much fun to watch the boys explore the house! Its hard to believe that a year ago the Helms, Russells and Blantons were sitting in birthing classes learning about the horrors :) of childbirth and now our infants have turned into toddlers!

Will and Brosnan are the same size!

They both love Cheerios and Will tried (and loved!) Goldfish crackers for the first time!

They took a tour of the house in their finest 'zombie-walking' style!

When Mommy said that it was time to leave, Will said, "Talk to the hand!"
(not really, he is a very good boy - but that was a fun caption to write!!)

Reading Nursery Rhymes!

Brosnan is reading the nursery rhyme book from which Gummaw Sitty and Grandpaw Lane used to read to Mommy, Aunt Kimmie and Aunt Manada!

Our favorite poem went a little something like this...

The Goops they lick their fingers,

And the Goops they lick their knives;

They spill their broth on the tablecloth-

Oh, they lead disgusting lives!

The Goods they talk while eating,

And loud and fast they chew;

And that is why I'm glad that I

Am not a Goop - are you?

More Zombie Walking!

Brosnan Walks

I wish I could get my Canon video editing software to communicate with my Panasonic picture so that I could rotate the image.....but look at Brosnan run this one in for a touchdown!!!

What a great weekend!!

Brosnan's first Halloween he spent as....what else....a tiger!!! He seemed to like the costume, although it is a bit hot in Jacksonville in October for fur!

Grandma and Popcorn Blanton came to town on Friday and went trick or treating with us at Merrill. Then Aunt Didi came over for dinner and playtime.

On Saturday we went to the Koelbel's house to watch the Florida/Georgia game. Then we went trick or treating! Brosnan was such a good sport, considering he didn't collect any candy! There was so much to observe - he had a great time! He has several teeth coming is, so his new favorite pose is tounge-out, massaging his gums!

Brosnan wore shoes for the first time to church on Sunday. He did pretty well, although it is a bit hard to stand up when he is wearing them!

On Sunday we watched some football. Jacksonville didn't bring home a win, but Brosnan sure did bring Jones-Drew some good luck by wearing his jersey! Brosnan and Daddy fed the geese and we had a nice cook-out in the back yard.

How cute is this......

Throughout the weekend, Brosnan has gained more confidence and has been walking some on his own now!
