Jager (Cujo) and Brecken say Happy Easter. Obviously ONLY one of them was happy to be in bunny ears today. Jager was actually yawning but we thought this picture was hilarious.
Brecken tried rice cereal for the first time the other night. As you can tell from the raised eyebrow, tongue sticking out, and rice cereal dripping down his chest, it was a big hit. He got very little actually into his tummy, but A+ for effort. We will be trying the cereal again in about a week mixed with applesauce. Let's hope he gets a bit more in. This is a total "Can you Smell what the Rock is cookin" look.
We died Easter eggs with Breckens friend Maya (she is 10 months old). She was hilarious and very mobile. She was so fast if you blinked you missed where she went. Brecken loves her and obviously she had a big secret to tell him. The series of pictures we have of the two of them are priceless. Brecken just sat there and she crawled all over him.
Last but not least, Brecken had his first trip to Chuck E. Cheese for his friend Jake's 3rd birthday. He just sat in his baby bjorn looking out and loving all of the kids and lights. He also saw a lot of the skeet ball machine because apparently I am still 5 and couldn't stop playing the game myself. The thrill of getting the tickets just doesn't go away. When we got home I put him in his bouncy toy and within 30 seconds he had crashed out.
The awareness that has occurred over the last few weeks for Brecken of his surroundings is amazing. It is so obvious how much more he notices as he is looking around. He has really begun to be interested in Jagers wagging tail. He also lights up each night when his daddy comes in the door from work. He gets so excited for his hug. We can't tell Little B enough how much we love him. He has really brought so much fun to our lives. I can't believe he is almost 6 months old!
Brecken has had 2 swim classes so far and he seems to enjoy the water. He went in the pool during his first class with his daddy. They did a lot of swishing around in the water and getting the kids used to being in the pool. As you can see from their picture, even in the pool, everything goes straight to Breckens mouth! I went into the pool with Brecken for his second class and they actually had us dunk them under water. He came up red faced but never cried. I don't think it was his favorite activity but he was a real trooper.
Brecken had his 6 month appointment yesterday and he weighs in at 18lbs 12oz (75-90%) and is 27.5 inches long (75-90%). He is one healthy and happy little guy. 
He loves to put everything in his mouth...including his daddy's nose. He has been a drooly mess for the last few months but has not cut any teeth yet. We are just blessed with a child that loves to drool. It causes a lot of laundry since we go through multiple bibs a day!!
Brecken's Aunt Alex babysat him last week. Steve and I went to a concert that was very long and we didn't get home until 3 a.m. According to Aunt Alex, Brecken was great. I think they had lots of fun together. 
Brecken has started sleeping like a champion. He goes down between 7 and 8 at night and sleeps until about 7a.m. He actually slept all of the way until 8 this morning. The good night sleep means he naps really well during the day too. It has been really nice. He is so much fun and happy, we are lucky.
