Brisco is definitely stepping-up into his bigger boy toys.
He loves his activity table, especially when we sprinkle puffs on it.
He also loves chasing Gordie around.
He builds castles with Daddy.
But he cries when they fall down! It's the sweetest thing!
Brisco just finished listened to his first chapter book, The Mouse and the Motorcycle, by Beverly Cleary.
Matt and I have been alternating reading him a chapter during the day and a chapter at night. He mostly plays while we read, so we're not sure if he finds the story interesting. For Matt and I, though, it's a nice break from the Corduroy books. :)
When he gets his hand on the book, he tends to try and eat it.
Silly close-ups:
His walker also converts into a mini-four-wheeler.
He's working on the dismount:
Brisco hasn't been too into TV yet. We're hoping we might be able to entertain him on our upcoming plane rides to Arkansas (in February) and Florida (in April), and so we purchased a portable DVD player.
Every now and then, Matt and I get it out and play one of his Baby Einstein or Leap Frog DVDs. We act like we're so interested in it, hoping that he'll want to take a look. He seems to love our cell phones and laptop, so we're thinking he'll fall for the DVD player if we pretend it's a toy for adults! I guess you could definitely say we're trying to trick him! :)
He'll typically watch for a few seconds...
Then he'll go back to playing with his blocks!
We're hoping the DVD player will save us from annoying other passengers on the flights. We shall see!
