Introducing Brennan to family

My mom and Brennan and I traveled to Atlanta, GA this past week to allow my grandparent's to meet my new little guy. It was a precious time and Memaw and Papaw were thrilled to see him. Memaw is struggling with Alzheimers and the whole time she alternated between two sentances.... 1. He is just growing by the minute. He's getting so big look at him just growing and changing by the minute. and 2. He is SO precious. So precious.

It was really sweet to watch her with him. She loved to hold him and make funny noises to him. I know Brennan's too young to remember this trip, but it was a special memory for me to be able to see my grandma loving on him.

It was special for me to be able to see my mom showing off her grandson to her parents. I know it meant a lot to her as well. She's so proud of him. :)
Brennan got to spend a lot of time with Nanna. Since he was so off schedule due to the time change, mom would help me watch him while I caught another hour or so of sleep in the mornings. SUCH a blessing.

We took a 24 hour trip up to Greenville so that Abbi and Suzanna could meet their nephew while he was still in the semi-newborn stage. While there we got to have dinner with my cousins, the Bullocks, and we stayed the night with my cousin Jess, her husband Tim, and their adorable new baby, Kyle.

The funny thing is that they're about the same size. Kyle was born on May 30th and Brennan on September first. So they're approx. 4 mos. apart and relatively the same size. lol

We had such a special time visiting with Suzanna and Abbi. They were SO excited to see him. When we walked around the Bob Jones campus, people kept coming up to Suzanna and saying, "This must be the nephew you've been talking non-stop about!" lol Apparently this little guy's already a big name on campus thanks to his Aunt Suzanna. Suzanna was a trooper. Brennan had his biggest blow out yet which Suzanna volunteered to change. It ended up getting on the jacket she was wearing. She changed, picked him up, and he promptly spit up on her new outfit. So she changed again! Then she came back for more. She really really loves this little guy... :)

Abbi was so sweet with him. She and Suzanna gamely shared their time with him. Let's just say he was never put down during that whole visit. Brennan didn't mind... he is defintely a cuddler. :) Abbi's boyfriend Brett was also able to visit with Brennan. Apparently they've already bonded, for as Brett pointed out, they both belong to the club whose member's name's begin with the letters BR :)

The trip was amazing and Brennan did amazing. It was well worth the mess up in schedule and we're all looking forward to having Aunt Abbi and Suzanna come home for Christmas!

While we were gone, Brennan became incredibly interactive. His daddy wasn't happy to miss this. I love this adorable little side smile that he does when he's thinking about smiling full bloom but is waiting for you to do something rediculous looking before he'll give it to you :)

We discovered he's going to be a singer. Of course I sing to him all the time. But while we were on the trip, he would start trying to sing with us. He doesn't have a whole lot of sound coming out yet, but you can tell he's trying SO hard. I love this!!!
