Watch me crawl.

Yep, the crawling has shifted into full force. We're all over the place now. Still occasionally doing the Army crawl, but we've been doing all fours a lot more. Better get the baby-proofing done--this kid is on the move!

And more crawling

And even more

Can you tell he loves magazines!

Clap, clap

Oh how we love to clap. In the past couple of weeks Brady has figured out how to clap with both hands open instead of keeping one fist closed. It's good stuff.

Notice the crazy hair--not quite like the mohawk picture, but the craziness still exists.

And yes, that is a Chiefs outfit. It's only July, but we're ready for football since the Royals haven't provided much to cheer for lately.

I've got Teeth!

I apologize you have to look up his nose, but we've got a shot of the teeth. Both of them! Tooth #1 - July 17th on the right side. Tooth #2 - July 19th on the left side.

Now he's got 2 front teeth! Bring on the steak.

8 Months, 8 months Old!

Yep, that's right. Brady is already 3/4 of a year old. We were able to get just a couple of pictures this morning. He's quite squirmy--sitting still next to Pooh is next to impossible these days. I don't know how my friend Kelly was able to get Peyton to sit so nicely next to her stuffed animal--must get the secret!

At 8 months old, here's what Brady is doing: crawling on hands and knees, but just for a few feet; Army crawling all over the place; sitting up on his own; clapping with both hands open; making loud noises; babbling both dadadadada and mamamamama; eating all veggies except peas; and eating pears, applesauce, peaches and apple-strawberry-banana mixture. He also has his top two teeth at 8 months.

Strange animal in the backyard

So, we've got this creature in the backyard. Can anyone tell me what it is? It's not a beaver, a raccoon, or a possum. Maybe a muskrat, but they usually hang out around swampy areas and I don't think our forested back yard qualifies as swampy, but who knows. I'm hoping somebody out there can tell me what this thing is.

More sleeping baby

I know it's nothing exciting, but isn't he so cute when he's sleeping?

More Army crawling

This is just another video of the Army crawl that Brady has mastered. He did crawl over the weekend on his hands and knees, but just for a few feet. I imagine it will be another couple of weeks before we master that skill and can tape it for posterity! In the meantime, he still has no problem moving around.
