Happy Birthday Brennan!

Brennan turned two on Saturday. Two! Although if you ask him, he continues to insist that he was turning three.

Brennan is a child that brings a smile to people's faces merely by walking into a room. It's unexplainable - but true. He is our jokester - always trying to make you laugh and giggle over some antic. Yesterday, he walked around with three rubber bands on his head just to see the reaction he would get from his mom and Aidan. His personal favorite for inspiring laughter from all of us? Brennan's infamous naked somersaults after a bath.

He loves to sing and bust a move. He sings at full volume - belting out his ABCs or more recently, Jingle Bells or he hums quietly to himself as he hugs his blankey and enjoys a quiet moment with the beloved (and addicting) binky.

Brennan so enjoys his food. Before he could talk, he would just giggle over the sight of his next meal. Now he interrupts his eating to exclaim "yum" or "good" or more often "more." He loves everything from tacos to yogurt and of course his brother's culinary favorite "mac n' cheese." Brennan was the only 16 month old I knew that could identify his favorite restaurant "Moe's Southwest Grill" by sight when we drove past it in the car. He even cried if we drove past without stopping in for his favorite chicken burrito.

Brennan worships his older brother and will follow him anywhere and keep up with him in anyway possible. He loves to play tackle with daddy, read books, color and build, build, build!

He is a love. He loves to cuddle, give hugs and a wet smacking kiss that he has to rub in to make sure it lasts all day long.

Happy Birthday Brennan. It is such a joy to watch you grow and live each day.
