Brogan has been LOVING the outside and has been becoming increasingly more active as of lately... Boys will be boys i'd say... because outside+ no fears+ active boy= bumps scrapes bruises and scares....
For Easter Auntie Chelsea got him some outside toys! Note: She works at Toys R US and therefore gets a discount..and being the nice auntie she is HAS to spoil her only nephew! So mom had to nix the buying of inside toys as we were running out of places to put them.... SO she bought him OUTSIDE toys as we have yet to fill up the garage! (Joking Chel we love it!) She came with bunches of stuff for Brogan to help out with the yardwork INCLUDING a bubble mower that makes a vroom vroom noise... perfect for anyone that knows Brogan knows that he is constantly using his "motor" He loves that thing! She also got him his own personal patio chair! He has been really into climbing lately so its nice to have a chair that is closer to the ground and not such a hazard for him to get onto, as he sometimes thinks he is too big for his britches...
He also has been loving our trampoline and is starting to understand the jumping action! He actually is bending his knees now and knows if he does that he will get a springing action. Always carefully observed though when playing around and on the trampoline! We have had one of these around since we were kids and it was ALWAYS a favorite pastime.
Brogan is definitely not afraid of heights and loves to be thrown as high as he can be into the air! This is Uncle Nate and him playing outside! He has really started to bond with my brother's lately and runs to them whenever one of them enters the room, and then points outside and goes auhh, as if he is saying ok cmon lets go play!
My cousins and I had a garage sale the other weekend, and although the garage sale went great Brogan gave me quite the surprise! I had been waiting for this for quite some time actually knowing his upper body strength and persistant personality. I came in to check on him while he was "taking a nap" and mr big boy was looking up at me from the bottom of the stairs! That's right Mr. Brogan is now climbing out of his crib with no problems.... I'm not quite sure how he did it, but it runs in the family. Both of my older sisters climbed out of their cribs too! It was quite the shock to see him standing there though, but then I laughed as he stood there clapping his hands to say YAY i'm a big boy!! hahahaha I knew I was in for it! Also at the garage sale he tripped and fell and bruised his ear... poor baby just has no fears and loves to RUN everywhere! He's so fast and his little legs can't keep up with how fast he wants to go!
All I know is that Brogan is 110% boy and there is nothing this kid isn't afraid of or willing to try! I love that I can already tell that he inherited the determination and will power from both of us! As I think it is such a great quality to have to be able to get up and keep going after falling! Its just up to me to be able to keep up with him now! I can't wait to see what kinds of things he comes across in life!
A boy is Truth with dirt on it's face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair, and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket. -- Author Unknown
