PEEK A BOO

We have a word

I am so excited that I finally understand at least one word that Brady says. He talks all the time but most of what he says has no meaning, besides the occasional mama, dada, abbe, and no. He definitely said many times today the word "thank you". It started when I was talking to my mom on the phone. Amazingly he said it a few times when I asked him. Then Thomas came home and I told him about it. Here's a video of us attempting to get Brady to say it one more time!! You tell me what you think he says!

Chocolate

Yesterday Nadine made chocolate "biscuits" aka chocolate candies. When she was telling Thomas and I about them we couldn't get our brains around how a biscuit with chocolate would be good, until we figure out she was trying to say cookie. They were made with cornflakes and were actually really good. Who doesn't love anything chocolate though? We let Brady have a taste. He loved them too!!!

I think he liked it!!!!!

"We're goin' to the zoo"

Today since I didn't have to work Nadine, Brady and I met some friends at the zoo. This was Brady's first trip to the zoo. He enjoyed riding around in the stroller and even saw a few of the animals. He couldn't find the elephants. Imagine that the biggest animal there, but he did see the monkeys, the goat, and the giraffe at least. It was a wonderful fall day and a great first trip to the zoo. And some exciting news........ Notice in the top picture Brady is standing on his own now. A few more days and I think he will take his first step!!!!

Here are a few pictures of Brady and his friends Esther and Elijah.

One more pic!

This is Brady and his Great Grandmother.

Terrible Blogger

So, I have been really slack lately. With the stomach virus we all had and what seems to be a crazy busy fall season I have failed to get on here and post. This weekend we went to Columbia to visit my family. Brady loved every minute of attention. He is so active these days, and he never stops talking. We had a whirlwind of a trip visiting with my mom. Then my grandmother, aunt and cousin came to visit. Later in the day we headed over to my dads where we visited with my other grandma and grandfather. Needless to say Brady was tired last night. Here's a quick video of Brady at my moms. Try to ignore the insanely dirty shirt. He is into eating these days, but he makes a huge mess. There's no stopping him. Yesterday he ate sausage, grits, and eggs for breakfast, a whole hot dog, some bread and chili for lunch, and vege lasagna for dinner. Then came the yummy blueberry desert! I know, he eats more than I do!!!

ATTITUDE/ I hope its just the teeth (haha)

So my child has always had a personality all his own. He will let me know what he wants when he wants it, no question about it. But this pushed the envelope a little today. As we played outside all Brady wanted to do was eat leaves, of course. So I let him play with them and when he put them in his mouth I told him no. Here's a video of our time spent outside today. It went from happy to sad and back to happy very quickly. Notice he is upset because I gave him half of a leaf instead of a whole one. Yea, I don't know what he was thinking. I am hoping this attitude will go away as soon as he gets his top teeth in. Sorry you will have to turn your head to the side to watch. I couldn't get the video to rotate.
