Preschool Spring Program

I had my spring preschool program last week, and it was so much fun. We got to walk on stage, sing 2 songs for our family, and then have lunch. I love preschool, and I love to sing...so this was a great morning for me!
(And, if you can't find me, I am the tall one in the middle!)

Standing Tall

Well, look what Brady learned to do...pull up on most things to a standing position. He is proud of himself...and he loves what he can see and do while standing. (He is not standing alone yet!) Brady also learned to crawl in these last 2 weeks. It isn't your typical crawl...one leg tends to stay under while the other leg pushes, but it works...he gets where he needs to go! And, he loves being mobile. Just yesterday, he was "chasing" me around the island in the kitchen while I was on a ride-on toy. It was so funny!
(Check out my short legs and my long torso...I am just like my Daddy...& my Opa!)

A happy & proud little boy!




Splish, Splash...Brady's Takin' a Bath

Hi Everyone ~ Sure hope you are all doing well. Here are some of our latest pics...Enjoy!



Brady LOVES taking a bath. He gets so excited when he hears Mommy turn the water on. And, if it's my turn to take a bath (sometimes we do it together, sometimes we don't) and he doesn't get to get in (his dry skin doesn't allow him to take a bath as often as I do), he cries for a minute...it's pitiful. But, enjoy the pics of his bathtub time...



Splashing in the water is so much fun!



Getting all clean...and having a blast!

A Swing & a Haircut...Two Firsts!

Hi Everyone ~ It's me, Brady. I just wanted to tell you about my 2 firsts this past week. I got to get my first haircut...and I got to go in the swing, too! It was a fun week! Enjoy the pictures!
Here I am...the "before" picture!

Daddy & me...before the haircut!

Here we go...trimming around my ears! I was so good!

Then, time to cut the rest...
And, Mommy & me...after the haircut! Doesn't it look so cute? :)
And, one more of me after the haircut. I was such a big boy, and Daddy & Mommy (& Averie too) love my new look! Earlier in the week, we had some really nice weather, so Averie & I got to play outside. Mommy thought it would be fun to let me try the swing. I wasn't sure what to think at first, but I LOVED it. I stayed it in for a long time...
Here I am concentrating really hard on swinging :)


When Averie pushed me, I got to go really high, and I thought that was SO much fun...check out my smile! I laughed a lot!
Then, we both got to swing...well, Averie has her doll, Molly, with her also, so I guess that makes all 3 of us :)
Having fun...sure makes us ready for Spring!
Have a wonderful week!

Every Day Life...It's Wonderful!

HI Everyone ~ We sure hope you are all doing well. We are really enjoying this taste of spring these last few days with this gorgeous weather. We've been playing outside, going to the park, and taking walks. And, we are all doing well...Enjoy the pictures of our every day life...it really is wonderful!
Here am I...and look what I am doing. I am eating a carrot fresh out of my Opa's garden. It's so yummy! I got to go with him to his "little greenhouse" (as we call it) to pick some fresh veggies for my family. Opa picked me this carrot and let me eat it...so yummy! Along with the carrots, we got to pick beets, chard, tomatoes, and cucumbers! Yummy!
And, look what Brady can do now...he is pulling himself up in his crib, his pack-n-play, and on furniture. He can only do it from a sitting position, but he is so excited to be doing it. He is not crawling yet, but he is very close.
The sun was shining through his blinds the other day, so Mommy took a picture of it...it's been so nice here lately. Hard to believe there was 6 inches of snow on the ground just a week ago!
And, here I am again...just showing you how happy I am!
Then, I asked Mommy for a banana, and it had this sticker on it. So, Mommy read it to me, and I did what it said, "Place sticker on forehead. Smile."
All ready for school...I LOVE preschool. I come home singing every day!

Have a wonderful week! We love you!

Snow Day Fun!

Hi Everyone ~ We sure hope you are all doing well. We had the best day yesterday...we had a fun snow day! On Sunday night, it snowed for a long time...we got about 5 inches. It was beautiful to watch coming down...this is something unusual for us North Carolineans. So, we loved it! On Monday, we enjoyed being in the snow. Enjoy the pictures!


Daddy & Me in the snow...


Daddy, Mommy, & me...Brady was taking his morning nap!

"Uncle" Chad & me...he got "snowed in" at our house on Sunday night, so he was with us on Monday. (We were celebrating his birthday!)
Look at all the white around me...this is so fun! (Last time we had snow, the grass was coming through...it was only about an inch!)

Daddy is showing me how to build a snowman. Of course, we had to build a huge one...here we are rolling the first ball.

It got so big that "Uncle" Chad came to help us roll.

Here I am trying to make a snowball!
Then, my neighbor, Jackson, came by and showed me how to make a "snow angel." Here I am making my first one!
My first "snow angel"
Then, it was time for some sledding...
...so much fun!
Brady woke up, so Daddy & Mommy brought him outside too. Here they are letting him taste the snow...he didn't know what to think!

And, of course, Daddy, Mommy, & Brady
Then, it was time to come inside and have some hot chocolate.
I am so excited to have some hot chocolate...
YUMMY!
What a fun day!
