9 Months Old

Mr. B has passed the 9 month milestone. He is on his way to his first birthday...and fast! Listen up people - I'm growing up and I have a new big boy image...I can sit on the couch by myself, I'm wearing t-shirts and shorts (shed the onesies, those are for babies), shoes (although I'm not too sure about these yet), and of course ownership of the remote control. Isn't it funny how much babies pick up. He actually picks up the remote and he knows to point it to the TV like we do. Scary!

Dr. visit went well. No shots this time, mommy was relieved. Here are the stats...

• Weight - 21lbs, 13oz (69%), up from 19lbs, 2oz (75%)
  
• Height - 29 5/8" (89%) up from 27" (68%)
  
• Noggin' - 18 7/8" (96%), thankfully not that much bigger than last time which was 18 1/4" (97%). The Dr. assured us nothing to be worried about, the guy just genetically has a big head. And of course a big brain!!!
  

America's Favorite Pastime

What a lucky boy...Opening Day 2010 for the Giants, and Barrett was there. The Giants beat the Braves 5-4 in extra innings. An amazing day in the city, in April... 70s? and sunny? What did we do to deserve such a day?

When we first arrived Barrett wasn't too sure about all the people. We were crossing the street in a herd and I think it freaked him out a little. He was really quiet taking it all in. Our seats were Club Level, thanks to our friend Mark, and we were sitting right under a speaker. It was a bit loud for Mr. B, so we weren't sure if this was going to work. After pregame though, when the conversation on the loud speaker died...all was well. He had a really great time. He lasted 7 innings, then needed a nap in the Ergo.

Easter at the Park

The Saturday before Easter we walked down to San Ramon's Central Park. I was glad we got out when we did because Easter Sunday was miserable. It was pouring rain and really cold...brrrrr! We made the best of Saturday though and tried out Central Park's new playground that just opened. We can't wait until Barrett gets bigger because we know he is going to love this park.

Love this shot, the look on Barrett's face makes me think he wants to say...'yo mom, wassup'

Did I Tell You I'm Going on Vacation

The Rosenlunds' are gearing up for a family vacation! We are headed to Yosemite the first weekend in May for our first 'official' family vacation. Sad, Jeff has lived in California his whole life and I have been here 10 years and neither one of us have been to Yosemite yet. In preparation for our trip we have purchased a new backpack for Barrett and we took it out for a test drive the other day. I think Mr. Man is very content in it. What a great view from up top for him. Now Mommy and Daddy just need to break in our backs to carry 'the load.'
