WORDLESS WEDNESDAY/ (aka I'm trying to prepare for Brady's birthday tomorrow and I have no time!

THANKS SHERRY FOR A GREAT DAY TODAY!!!

Our Visit with Santa

We went to the mall tonight to visit with Santa. Again, not the best time as Brady is not feeling too well, but I don't know when we will have another free second with his birthday coming this week and our annual trip to the beach on Friday. So here are a few pics. Sorry about some of the blurriness, but something was not quite right with my camera.

Anticipating meeting Santa for the first time.

Kaylee waiting patiently!

"I'm not gonna smile today!!"

The Greenville Parade/ Maybe next year!!!

So yesterday we bundled Brady up and headed downtown for the annual Greenville Christmas Parade. We put on his hat, gloves, and his heavy coat and hit the street to find a spot. Before we had been out there for more than 10 minutes Brady decided he did not want to stay outside. I guess it was a little far fetched for us to think that Brady would make it through the parade that started only 30 minutes before his normal bedtime. Not only was he tired, but he hasn't been feeling great this weekend. He has yet another runny nose/ cough that I have treated with everything possible. Here are a few before and after pics of our short trip!

"Mom, I can't even move my arms"

"I can't believe you made me do that!"

Happy Thanksgiving, a little late!

So, for we cooked Thanksgiving Dinner at out house and had Thomas' parents over to eat. Friday we headed to Columbia for the weekend and visited with my side of the family. It was great seeing everyone and Brady loved all the attention. He is big into dancing so I will post of a video and just a few pics we took over the weekend.

THE MOMENT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR, AN UPDATE!!!

So we have some great news..... Brady is walking and is all over the place. He has been a little under the weather lately with a nagging cold/ cough, but he is on the mends and hopefully will be back to his normal self by Thanksgiving. So here's a video, sorry you have to turn your head and some recent pictures of Big Boy!

TRICK OR TREAT

We had a great Halloween night. I don't know that Brady had any idea what was going on, but he enjoyed riding in the wagon and eating fruit chews. Imagine that, he liked to eat!!! Here are a few pictures of our little rock star!

Yes, I am holding his arms so he doesn't rip the sunglasses off of his head. Thank goodness when we went trick or treating he forgot about them and left them on!

Ha ha mom! I got my glasses off!

Side view!

Dude, aren't you cold????

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.
