Eight is Great!

Brady celebrated his 8th month birthday on Thanksgiving Day and he celebrated with his first taste of Turkey--all mushed together with butternut squash of course.  And after 2 weeks of sleepless nights, we are happy to report on the arrival of two bottom teeth.  I sort of had a hunch he wouldn't sleep through the night until he was done nursing.  He slept through the night one night and then the teething began, but I'm happy to report that last night he slept from 8pm to 7am and so did Mommy and Daddy (well we went to bed at 10:30, but didn't have to get up at 2am and again at 5am).

Brady continues to be a happy smiley baby and is adored by everyone.  He laughs and giggles when being tickled and loves to watch his big sister.  He is doing to learn so much from her (like how to jump on the couch when mommy isn't looking and how to use crayons on the chalk board)

The baby gate has reappeared in the Kron House as Brady is an explorer and loves to crawl everywhere.  When he is not crawling, he is standing and testing his balance.  The teachers at school think he'll be walking in another month--OMG is all I can say. 

He has started having an interest in toys and will even cry if you take one away from him.  He loves his sofie the giraffe teether, pink elephant, and pretty much anything Chloe is playing with at the moment. 

He continues to explore new foods, trying turkey, green beans, zucchini, apricots, oatmeal, but his favorite food seems to be bananas. 

Happy 8 month birthday Brady Samuel!

What happens when Mom is not looking

Brady has become quite active and we have realized our house needs more baby proofing.

Every chance he gets, he is crawling over, under, in between everything.

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.
