More circle dancing

Yes, Brady continues to dance in circles. We can't quite figure that out, but it makes him quite happy, so who's going to mess with that? The funniest part is watching him fall down after he makes himself dizzy. Cracks us up!

Toddler Genius

So one of Brady's birthday presents was this great book about the 10 monkeys jumping on the bed, one fell off and cracked its head. Momma called the doctor and the doctor said "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

Well, each page of the book has these little spots where you push and each makes this great popping noise. 10 on the first page, 9 on the second and so forth.

Well, this book says it is for Ages 3 and up and Brady is already popping those things like crazy. So yes, I have to brag just a little bit that our 15-month old kid is properly handling a 3-year old book! And you have to turn the volume way up to even hear the little popping noise.

Once a Runner - Book 5

I have been a big blog slacker the last several days, so if I have the time, today might be enough posts to get completely caught up.

First up, Once a Runner is done. Book #5 for 2010 is finished. It was a good book, but I would not call it "the best book ever written about running" like the cover said. In fact, I thought the first half of the book moved particularly slow.

That said, if you are a runner you would probably enjoy this book. If you are not a runner, don't even bother picking it up. It's a waste of time for those who can't relate to running multiple 800s and knowing just how much your body hurts when you do that (and I only vaguely know).

On to Book #6. And I don't know what that is and I need to get it done in the next 12 days. I have 2 books on reserve at the library, but it appears neither one of them is checked back in so I've got to find something else! And fast.

More Brady

There's nothing too spectacular about these pictures, but I'm posting them anyway. Brady has been all serious for the camera lately. He's all smiles and laughing, but the second he hears that camera turn on he becomes Mr. Serious. Here we are just hanging out at home after work.
And hanging out in our pajamas before bedtime. He did such a good job and helped put away all his legos, and then he proceeded to dump them out again. I think his favorite is just to dump those blocks all over the floor; it's pretty funny.

Look at that gut! So cute. We hope he's going to hit a growth spurt soon, because he's got quite the cute belly on him right now.

Book #5 - Once a Runner

Next book on the list is Once a Runner, courtesy of my good friend Shelby. The book was originally written in the 70s (see below for original cover)
and then finally reprinted recently.

People rave on and on about this book and how it's the greatest book about running. Ever. I am almost done, so hopefully I'll have a review for you tomorrow.

And yes, It's only March 3rd and I've almost got the first book for the month done!

Dancing in Circles

Brady has started dancing more lately. Well, dancing might be a bit of a liberal term. He turns round and round in circles after he plays the alphabet song on his music table. You have to turn it up to hear the music. And yes, he falls down after awhile. Cracks me up even more!

Sick boy

Well, I haven't posted a 15-month update because little B was sick all week last week. We finally get to do his checkup this Friday, so I'll give an update then. In the meantime, I should have some fun stuff to post today.

Aren't my boys cute? Matching profile and everything.
And little B with mom. Rarely will Brady just sit in our laps anymore, but would when he was sick, so we captured some shots while we could!
