9 Months



YEP, He is still un-proportional. Small Body, Big Head. 
Weight: 17 lbs 14.5oz
Height: 27 1/2 inches
Head: 18 2/3 inches

Since my last post, Foster has......

Took 5-6 steps
Stands up with no help
Bear Crawls-----so FAST

Giggles, but still hasn't really full on laughed and I never get it on video;(

Loves to hold Champs leash and thinks it is really fun to play Frisbee with him




Loves to throw the ball still



Still loves to eat- except he is getting picky

Loves to be outside

Falls asleep in his swing watching our wedding video- gets him every time, we must be boring

Loves to chew on a cob of corn


or my toes- he just randomly comes up and bites them


Had his first camping trip- (yes we slept in a tent)



Loves to tell stories- which I still can't interpret

Loves to dance




Gives High Fives

Still enjoys his tub time
Gives kisses
Blows kisses 
Waves Hello and Goodbye



Knows what the cow says--MOO

Loves anything with a Motor- Razor, cars, 4-wheelers, lawn mower. He really does get this excited everytime. This was from our camping trip. Lets just say we spent alot of time on the 4 wheeler or the razor to keep him out of the dirt.
 And hauling corn with Dad did not disappoint, the kid has a built in motor. Just ask him what the tractor, truck or razor does and he will tell ya..... VRMMMMMMMMMM!

Getting his upper teeth- his lateral incisor has poked through!

Foster "eventually" loved Grandma Janice's redneck waterslide. I though it would be a great idea to have Brennen take him down for his first time. WRONG. Of course he went super fast and pretty much totally submerged Foster at the end. Hence Foster screaming. 
 
I think you can tell how much Brennen was loving this and how much Foster was not loving it.
                                       
and yes his face is red because he is hysterical!

Good thing for Mama's, I took him next and while he was nervous I just went slow and held him up at the end... and He LOVED IT and couldn't get enough. We wish that the slide would have been up when Tucker and Presley were here because they would have loved it. Next year:) 

 


  Already a Utah State Fan

 He has perfected his smile- at least he thinks anyways, He is pulling a Presley and scrunching up his nose, it's still pretty cute though.



Loved being at the Ballpark and watching Dad. That is Brennen through the fence. Not sure if he really knew it was Dad, but the pic turned out great.


Loves the Dirt and Rocks

Makes me Smile ---- A-LOT

Still frustrates me at night- just a little (he has slept two random nights til 7 am, but I was wide awake at 5 wondering what was going on)

Drinks great from a sippy cup

Still doesn't sit still for reading time but we will keep working on it.

Starting to get a few curly cues in his hair- YEAH

He pulls some of the funniest faces, everywhere I go we get comments about his big eyes and wierd looks. If only I knew what he was really thinking.













He is still growing up to fast!!

Defensive Player of the Year


This past weekend the Blue Sox held there annual banquet. Foster and I were acting as the support crew for Mom and Dad on Lotoja so we were unable to attend, so Brennen flew solo. I wasn't to worried about missing it, because he promised me that he wasn't getting an award because according to him he was sub par with his stats this year:) He was voted (by his teammates) Defensive MVP for the 2013 season, as this didn't really surprise me, I felt bad I missed it. However, it got me thinking that I should write about his season and post some pics since who knows if he will suit up again;) Plus since this is acting like a journal for us, generations to come will hopefully know how awesome he was and how good looking he was in that uniform.
In 10 years of playing for the Sox they have yet to spell his name right on anything. We having seen anything from Breenen, Breenan, Brennan, Brannen, all sorts of varieties;)

One of the main reasons Brennen is still playing baseball is because he gets to play with Brandt. There is just something special when those two take the field together. When they get introduced and run to their positions for the National Anthem they have a handshake. I though I was videoing it but as you can see above- I just got a picture. 
Fielding Stats
Total Chances: 112
Putouts: 59
Assists:43
Double Plays: 8
Errors: 10
Fielding %: .911
Hence Defensive MVP
He's OUT!
My favorite part of this picture is the FLOSS sign in the background. I am pretty sure it was strategically placed there as Brennen really needs to work on that habit.
 Yes, that is one of his Errors, you can see the ball in the dirt on the left, he was still quick enough to get the kid out at second just couldn't turn the double play.

Offensive Stats:
He may be mad that I add these this year because he claims he struggled but I beg to Differ.
Batting Ave: .381
On Base %: .469
At Bats:105
RBI's: 23
Runs: 34
Walks: 16
                             Strikeouts: 2  (My favorite Stat)
They didn't track the Stolen Bases, but Brennen currently holds the record for most stolen bases in Blue Sox history, as well as the single season record in 2009.







 The Spectators


 


I wish I would have taken a picture of the Jensen Clan, they always come support, Josh is Brennen's #1 FAN.
 




We had a blast this summer going to watch Brennen Play. He never ceases to AMAZE us with his skills. (He is 28, he he)
