Little Devil

Brady had a great time at his first Rose Bowl tailgate. Too bad it was just for the ASU at UCLA game and not the real thing. Hopefully he won't have to wait too long to witness his first Rose Bowl.

To Infinity and Beyond

Happy 1st Halloween to our Little Brady Buzz!

Pumpkin Time!

Brady had alot of fun celebrating halloween at the Schnepf Farms Pumpkin and Chili & Pumpkin Festival. 

Dressed in his Buzz Lightyear halloween costume, Brady loved standing next to the pumpkin and

feeling the straw.

Standing at 7!

It has been a very active month for Brady.  It started with sitting, then his infamous lean, and now standing. 

Yes, I said standing.  We just can't believe it.  He seems to have gotten a taste of freedom and wants it all at once.  He has impressed all of his teachers at school--they even say he tries to stand with no hands.

He is getting much better at eating solid foods and even opens his mouth and squeals for his bottle.  So far he has tried apples, sweet potato, carrots, avacado, peas, banana, rice cearal, and oatmeal.

Still no sign of teeth yet, but the constant drooling and night time fussiness lead us to believe that one has to poke out sooner rather than later.   He has slept completely through the night 1 time, which makes for a very tired Mommy and Daddy, but at least he is now going to bed at the same time as his sister and they enjoy story time together every night.  He loves to squeal and babble and says bababababa and mamamamama and motorboats with his mouth.  Brady is looking forward to his first Halloween next week.

Brady Celebrates his 1/2 Birthday

Brady turned 1/2 on September 25th and his 6 month of life has been a very busy one.  It started with the introduction of solid foods and has progressed to sitting, crawling, and even pulling himself up to standing.  Brady is a hefty baby, but at 16 pounds 11 ounces he is only in the 33rd percentile in weight at at 25.5 inches he has gownn 5.5 inches since birth and is in the 16th percentile.  He was perfectly healthy at his 6 month check up and did great with his shots.  It is amazing to see his transformation from snuggly infant to curious crawler.

Time to lower Brady's Crib. He is sitting up and ready to pounce.

I don't know why this picture is sideways, but we lowered the crib and now he is standing and jumping so time to lower it all the way down.

Such a big boy.  He is crawling and chasing after his big sister and getting into everything. 

He is slowly starting to sleep through the night and has slept from about 8pm to 4am most nights this week, but when he is up he is up and ready to play.  He loves playing with balls, rattles, and squeaky toy.  He babbles, and squeels, hums, and jabbers--sometime very loudly.  He continues to be a smiley happy baby and we just love him so much. 

Adventures in Eating Part 2

Sweet Potato

Brady is getting much better at eating and has tried apples, sweet potato, and bananas.  So far his favorite is apples and bananas mixed together. Next up is green stuff--avacado!  Should make for great pictures.
