Hi All,
The above slideshow/clip is sort of the best Brian pics and videos in the month of March.
As to the pictures, credit is due to Christina for the couch fort, and blueberry photos. She is also chief architect of the couch cushion fort. This temporary outpost was in place while I was at work and seems to have been throughly enjoyed by all occupants (Brian and Lambie) while it lasted.
For those who are unaware, Brian LOVES blueberries (and most other fruit). However blueberries hold a very special messy place in our house.
Spring Swing! is from the warmest day yet in Chicagoland this year. Brian really likes to swing, but its still cold enough for a fleece jacket. Tommorrow the forecast calls for 5 inches of wet slush/snow/rain/BLAH! Hopefully this is the last of winter here.
Feeding the Pig is a lot of fun around here. The pig featured was a gift from my fellow tellers and bankers when Brian was born. Brian loves to feed his pigs (he has 2), kiss their snouts and put them back on his shelf in his room. Pennies, Nickels, Dimes and Quarters are his favorites. I made the mistake of giving him special coins, namely 3 dollar coins and a Kennedy half dollar piece. Since they were special he didn't want to put them in the pig! So, back to regular old pocket change for the pig.
Also, Brian has a lot of words in his vocabulary these days.
Most notable new word this week: Obama (and no I didn't spend hours teaching him!).
Physically he is much taller (I swear by the day he looks taller) and stronger. He is picking up things that were too heavy a week ago and carrying them through the house. Also, his favorite place to visit is the libary or Nana's house. His fine motor skills are very, very, good. Brian can now handle a spoon most mornings and get most of his food in his mouth. He has successfully eaten a small container of yogurt by himself and does pretty well with breakfast cereal.
There will be more photos/videos as the weather grows warmer and more time is spent outside.

Trivia Question: Can you name the song/artist/album on the slideshow?

Hi Paul, thanks for the updates! and I really appreciate the date feature on your blog links so I can easily see who's got a new post.
All is well hear. The first week of April is almost in the books as the countdown continues before our move. Not as exciting as your parents' move, but nonetheless just as harrowing. At least we have a new place to go to. Be well, Aunt Patsy
Hi Paul,
An early Happy Birthday!!!
Really enjoyed the pictures and video of Brian. He's grown and changed so much since I saw him at Christmas. And now he's getting close to 2---wow.
Love,
Aunt Nan
