Busy Brent

These have been a couple of very busy weeks for Brent. We started off the month by celebrating Grandpa Steve's birthday with Grandma Patti, Uncle Drew, Dad, Marilyn & Brent Creer. This was the first time Brent met his namesake so it was very special for us.

Then Dad had to take a work trip for 2 nights & 3 days. We facetimed but Brent & Bowzer were very confused about Dad being on a small screen. Olive didn't get it, as usual.

Mom & Dad had their first date sans Brent. It was to Eric Novak & Alissa's wedding at Clos La Chance, we had a fantastic time! Grandma Patti took care of Brent, she reports that he was perfect.

Brent went to his second Giants game. Terrible game, they lost 0 to 9 to the Cincinnati Reds but Brent was on his very best behavior.

Brent was lucky enough to meet cousin Lindsay & Bob for dinner in SF. He did very well considering it was a loud and hot restaurant that doesn't cater to babies. He even gave Linds a few smiles.

Mom had a girls night out with mom group friends. Brent was very good for dad & went to sleep like a champ.

This past weekend we stayed at Rod, Sheila, & Coopers house in Sacramento. We went to the pumpkin patch and Willie, Jamie & Carter joined us. So cute to finally see the little boys all together. We also went to another wedding - Steve Tankersley & Heather Jones. Brent did a good job of eating & sleeping during it all.

On Sunday we had brunch with my godmother Barbara Tigert and her husband Dave.

We decided the weekend wasn't busy enough so last night we went to Game 1 of the NLCS, Giants vs. Cardinals (Brents third game). It was a decent game even though the Giants lost. We watched the game inside on club level. Brent lost his mind when the Giants were down 6 - 0 then eventually stopped screaming when they came back 4-6. Not the most fun for Brent's mama.

Brent is 4 months old today. I love this age, he's so darn cute! He getting to be quite the talker. He is very interested in the world around him. He's drooling all the time, we go through 3 bibs a day. He is eating a ton, will easily go through 20 oz of milk in 4 hours. He gives Dad big smiles when he comes home from work. He also really likes to play with his toys, it's much easier to keep him calm in the car now! His latest activity is the jumper seat.

Today he's a little under the weather. Seems congested & having poop issues. We're already seeing the doctor tomorrow though so I'm not too concerned. Not surprised given all of the traveling we've been doing. He just wants to sleep on mama today, not so interested in eating.

Some sad news this month... Brent's great-grandma Marilyn Davis and great-uncle Robert Phillips both died on 10/7/12. Brent didn't get to meet either of them but they saw pictures of Brent before they died. We will miss both of them very much!!

P.s. I'll upload more photos once the baby isn't sleeping on me.
