We haven't posted in a while, the last 2 months have been quite hectic. Zenna's dad passed away on November 12, and we spent some time in Idaho for the last week he was there and the funeral. Brandon was on really good behavior for those weeks, almost like he knew that someone was about to leave and therefore he should let people grieve. This is the last picture we have showing Brandon with his grandpa.

For Thanksgiving, we went up to Island Park, where we had a condo reserved for a week. Brandon had a lot of fun playing in the pool, going on ATV rides, even on a wagon ride to Big Springs. He loves being outside, or just out of the house. He also liked to play with the other kids from the extended Moser clan.

Some fun in the pool and a meal later on. The next day we played out in the snow, and he thought it was a little bright!

The 2 pictures below are from the wagon ride to Big Springs, where we all posed for ashot. Then we went back to the clubhouse and had smores, Brandon loved them.

For the last few weeks, he's been becoming more articulated in his demands and babblings, pointing to things he wants by saying "That, that!". He's more into getting books read to him and he tries to add to the stories as well. We can't wait until we can understand what he's got to say. One thing that amazes me is that for at least the last 6 months, he seems to understand everything we say to him, and he sometimes acknowledges it, other times he acts like he's a baby and can just ignore us. He definitely is smart and has a mind of his own. Below is a video of Brandon expressing affection to Max sometime in mid-November.

In a couple days, I'll post about our Christmas vacation and the new year so far.
