slacker mom update!

So we have been busy and sick lately and I have been horrible at posting... So lets go back to the snow day.... I know that was so long ago! Here are a few pics of the snow at our house.









As you can see, we were not prepared to dress Brady for the snow... He enjoyed walking around for a few minutes, but had much more fun riding in the wagon. He feet got wet pretty quickly so we didn't stay out for long. We got about 3-4 inches of snow at our house!!!

Getting so big

Brady is growing so fast! He is starting to act so much like a little boy! He loves to be outside, plays games with us, responds to things we say to him, and does so many things for himself. He runs around with the big kids at daycare, and loves it! Here are a few videos and some pics of him at daycare yesterday! Thanks Sherry for all of the memories!

A trip to the doctor

So, today we were home again. Day 2 of school being cancelled!!! Brady has been a little fussy the past few days, but he has been fighting a cold. I wasn't sure if it was just the cold or something else, so today I made an appointment to go see the doctor. We first went and ate lunch with "daddy" at Cracker Barrell! (yummy breakfast for lunch) Then, we headed off too the doctor, which by the way, half of Greenville was there with what looked to be much worse than what Brady had. I kept him in my lap the entire 5 minutes we were in the waiting room. (It felt like an eternity). A child came in as we were sitting and waiting to hear "Brady come on back". She had a bad rash, looked like hives and god only know what else. I wanted to go ask if we could sit on the well side of the office she looked so bad. But, we were called back soon after that and Brady and I ran as fast as we could to the room! Again, I wouldn't let him touch anything, not even the book that he wanted me to read to him. I really didn't want him to get anything worse. The doctor quickly came in and said he had puss behind his eardrum in his left ear. Sounds gross, I know. (and worse than just an ear infection) He confirmed that indeed that puss was an ear infection and we caught it early, so Brady will have to take antibiotics twice a day for 10 days. He faxed the prescription and we were on our way to Publix to get our free antibiotics! We were in at 1:30 and out at 1:42! I guess we had an extra snow day today for a reason!

Snow day!

Brady's other new trick

Brady has also decided that it is his mission to climb up and down the stairs. We had a gate and it broke, so we are headed out to get a new one. Here is a video of him climbing the stairs. He goes pretty fast. Sorry for the camera angle, that's a bad habit of mine.

More pictures from this morning

Brady has a cold and hates for his nose to be wiped. I wipe it and 3 seconds later its running again. Here he is with his snotty nose and funny face!

Having fun in the tunnell!!

The tunnell, not so scary after all

Brady has finally decided that he is not afraid of his tunnell. He really enjoyed crawling through it this morning. Here is a video we took! We have been trying to entertain him since we have been stuck inside this weekend. He keeps going to the door and pointing outside because he wants to go out and play, but it is too cold and rainy to go out.

Just a little pink sand!!!!

Eventhough the sand is pink, Brady had tons of fun playing at daycare today!!!!

Wordless Wednesday! (one day late)

Not a happy day!

So, after talking to Melissa today at work I decided to post this picture. Yes Melissa, it is a memory. So here it is and no I'm not some mean mom who just takes pictures of her kid crying all the time. But in this event, Brady was screaming at me because I would not let him hold the camera. So, I quickly turned it on and took a picture and this is what it turned out to be. My cute little boy, pitching the biggest fit ever!!!!

Wordless Wednesday

My new favorite thing!

Well, after 13 months Abbe finally will tolerate Brady touching her. I think he has fed her enough food from the highchair to win her over. We were amazed the other night when she let Brady try all sorts of news things!!! I think he was pretty excited about it too!

UNDER!

OVER!

So proud of myself!!!

Dinner Time!!!!

I LIKE SALAD, YES I DO! I LIKE SALAD, HOW 'BOUT YOU?

Monkey Joe's

So we have our first trip to Monkey Joe's over the weekend! Brady wasn't too sure about it. He kept on pointing at the big slide, so I would haul us up hoping I didn't slip and land on some little kid behind me. Once we got to the top, the whining would begin. He never cried just seemed a little scared. We went down the slide 3 times, which was quite a workout for me. Brady never once cracked a smile. So, maybe another six months or so and he will like it. As for now, you will just have to look at the pictures of him looking a little unhappy.

Christmas 2008

Well we made it through all of the traveling of Christmas and we had a great time. We got to visit with everyone and Brady loved all the attention he got from our families. We spent the day with Thomas' family on Christmas Eve and then started the journey around South Carolina. We stopped in and visited with my dads side of the family in Columbia and ate a huge and delicious lunch. Then we sped off to Orangeburg to spend time with my moms side of the family. Then we spent the rest of the weekend in Columbia with my mom and dad! Here are some pics of Christmas day.

A few gifts from santa. We went small this year and thank goodness we did, because Brady got so much stuff it filled the whole truck up!

Brady's new riding toy for inside!

CHEESE!!!
