adventures...

Ok-- here's a great story:

Grandma Jeanette and Brenton and I went to Kohl's last night to find a wedding gift. Brenton was riding in his stroller- unbuckled- because I "knew" there would be no problem as he is not able to climb yet. I stopped at a price check machine and was busy scanning a few items and Brenton started getting fussy. I could smell him...and we were on our way to the bathroom, so I knew he could wait for one second. I kept talking to him as I scanned the items but was not really looking at him. Then, out of the corner of my eye I saw movement and looked over- Brenton had started bucking his back backwards (as he does when he is having a little fit) so I thought nothing of it other than we needed to move on to the bathroom. However-- Brenton had other plans! He continued to buck enough that he began scooting himself down-- I also thought nothing of this because I thought there was a bar between his legs (like in a shopping cart, etc). Not the case! Brenton scooted about 3 times and before I could even react he was sliding slowly down the material of his stroller like a slide and ended up laying half on the foot flap of his stroller and half on the floor of Kohl's propped up on one elbow looking up at me with an unforgettable expression of "I have no idea how I managed that- but I sure showed you!" He literally scooted right onto his side-- didn't fall-- so he did not get hurt and I was so shocked that I probably stood there for about 3-5 seconds staring at him before I even picked him up! Pretty soon reality set in and Jeanette had come over from where she was and was asking what had happened and I realized a few other people were looking at us like we were crazy! I really wish I would have taken a picture or somehow video-taped this because I know a few of you will be skeptical and just assume he fell out of his stroller on his head....but let me just reassure you that this was one of the funniest things Brenton has done yet and it literally happened slowly-- I just could not even fathom the abilities of this little boy!

So....on a different note...Brenton had his 6 month shots and is still working on the tooth/teeth that we could see budding about 3 weeks ago. How long do teeth take??

Travis took the night off tonight so we are going to have a little family date. See you all in the funny papers!
