When did my baby turn into a little boy????

Everyone told me that my baby was going to grow up so fast and well....they weren't lying! I was taking some pictures of him today and seriously, I don't know where that little infant has gone. He was getting a head start on what men do best.....relaxing on the couch. All he needs now is the remote control!

Purely to Embarass John...

So John was trying to impress me last night with his mad eyebrow skills (for those of you who can't tell, he is supposedly doing the wave with his eyebrows). I told him that he just looked ridiculous and wanted to prove it to him by getting it on film. He said no because he knew I would put it on our blog within 24 hours....well...he was right!

the binkie vs. the thumb...or both?

I keep hearing that if my baby would take a binkie, he would sleep for longer periods. I believe them, but the problem is that Brady doesn't believe it. The other day he was teaching me how the binkie really works....how he can use both the binkie and thumb at the same time. What a clever child!!!!

Brady's the man!!!

It has been about a week since we've had a "Brady Photo Shoot" blog, so I figured it was about time again...and yes, he does look basically the same in every picture!

Children or Dogs....

In my current state in life, I am surrounded by young moms with lots of children (which is fantastic by the way). We all seem to be trying to figure out the best way to take care of these rascals, while at the same time doing the things necessary to keep ourselves in shape. I usually see all kinds of moms with their strollers either walking or jogging on the trails by my house. Well, yesterday on my walk with Brady I saw something that was very humorous, but at the same time somewhat disturbing. I was coming up behind this older woman who was walking her dog and had a carrier on her front. I assumed she was carrying a child in the CHILD carrier (and yes I'm emphasizing the world child), but as I passed her I realized that she was carrying another dog! Now, don't get me wrong, I really do like dogs. I grew up with one basically my entire childhood, but come on! First of all, isn't the point of walking your dog to actually WALK the dog! And I'm pretty sure the person who invented child carriers didn't really have animals in mind.

While I found it quite humorous when I first came upon this spectacle, I started really thinking about it and it has kind of started to bother me a bit. I feel like the family really is disappearing and children are being replaced with something more "convenient" like a pet. Now yes, I don't know this woman and I'm sure she is a wonderful lady, I just think it's a crazy world that we live in and I'm going to do my best to raise a family full of CHILDREN (and in addition maybe a dog or two :) )!

The Nap Dilemma...

For the past week, Brady has slept for exactly half an hour, no more and no less, for every single nap. It's been driving me bonkers. Then this morning, the one morning I finally had somewhere to be, he decides to go down for a nap at 8:30am and doesn't wake up until 11:00am!!! Man, what is his deal. I just wish I new what I did differently for this nap so that we could continue this trend. One thing that I am learning about being a mom, is that life is definitely about Brady's schedule and not mine.

Here's my happy baby!!!!

This shot would make any mother proud!!!

Amy...I hope you appreciate this one!

On our trip to Florida, my sister really enjoyed Brady's reaction when we blew in his face. I thought I would try to capture it on film for her.

So....I guess I love my baby boy!!!

When my sister checked out my blog, she said "more pictures and more movies!" So....for all of you who aren't family members, this next post may be a bit boring. Well, let's be honest....all of you who aren't one of Brady's grandmas, it's going to be boring! Anyway, enjoy!!!

We started out our trek to Utah pretty early in the morning. Brady was a bit confused why we were standing out in the cold waiting for bart at such an obscene hour of the morning!!

So....having the first grand child means basically every day that he is around Grandma becomes a photo shoot. One of the nights we were in Disneyworld everyone was kind of camera happy and they thought it was sooooo funny to get dad and son with the rally caps.

So...John thought it would be a good idea to make sure that Brady's life jacket fit on the cruise....Brady didn't think it was such a fantastic idea, but he sure looks cute!!!!

Brady was very enthusiastic (well maybe enthusiastic might not be the right word) about his first experience in the swimming pool. We traveled to Disneyworld and then on to a cruise with my family for Christmas. It was a blast!!!

I've decided to join the blogging world. I told myself that as soon as my life got interesting enough, I would start a blog. Well...having a baby makes life very interesting!!!
