Standing

Oh, the milestones will be coming fast and furious for the next few months. We passed another one on Tuesday, Aug. 25. Brady pulled himself up to a standing position for the first time. All we did was put the remote just out of his reach and UP he went. So, he did it once and Tuesday and then several times every day after that. It's great.
He's discovered he can pull himself on things other than the couch, too. Like the jump-a-roo.

This a fun age!

Bath talk

Here's a short video of our guy just jabbering away in the bathtub. He rather enjoys bath time these days-plays with his toys, plays with his books and splashes all around.

The B-Man Explores

As Brady gets more mobile, he obviously starts getting into more stuff. Nothing too dangerous yet. He has decided it's more fun to actually play underneath and around his Jumparoo rather than play in it! Especially when he pulls himself up and it plays songs to him.
And oooooooh, the fun one can have in the Tupperware cabinet.

He's like to get everything out from the bottom shelf and then just push it around the floor. I can't complain--it entertains him while we work in the kitchen.

9 months

Hangin with Pooh on the 9 month birthday. B-Man is feeling under the weather--has an ear infection, so he gets to have some antibiotic fun for the next 10 days. He had some really bad congestion for a couple of days, but seems to be improving.
Let's see. At 9 months, Brady can crawl all over the place. He can pull himself up to his knees. He can climb stairs!! (this was a new development over the weekend). He can pull himself to a standing position, but doesn't stand for very long yet. He's eating table food and enjoying most everything we give him. He still loves bath time, though he does not particularly enjoy getting his face wet. He still takes a morning nap and afternoon nap. Generally goes to sleep about 8:30 at night and wakes up about 7:00 - 7:15. He has 6 teeth now and a head full of hair (and is in desperate need of a haircut). He babbles quite a bit, but still nothing that would qualify as his first word. Did I miss anything? Do you have any questions? Let me know if you do!

Smiles!

Aaaaaw, would you ever get sick of seeing such a happy kid?

Let the training begin

Training on how to be properly equipped for the workshop. Brady got to try on some of Dad's ear protection recently. He wasn't quite sure what to make of those things.

Let's go do some work!

More wedding pics

Doing a little dancing--notice the ratio of girls to guys!. I don't recall what we were laughing about, but it was obviously something funny. I couldn't help but put this one in here. We both have cleavage!!! Whoop, whoop. And we're gettin jiggy.

One of Tye's cousins--she LOVED being twirled around, so I gave her a whirl a few times. It was my arm workout for the weekend.

Collecting donations for the money dance. I was trying to help the groom win, but you just can't beat a beautiful woman in a white dress. And besides, they both won by marrying each other!

The last shot of the night. We helped to close the place down. I haven't been up that late in a long time. But it was well worth it.

So, a big congratulations to Amy & Tye. Everything about the ceremony and reception was beautiful and fun and we felt so privileged to be a part of it. We can't wait to see what the future holds for the happy couple.
