The bumpy road to being one...

Brady boy continues to explore his world and with it has come some "growing pains"...
Although those few steps from couch to coffee table are becoming more and more comfortable and happening hands free, the feet still aren't keeping up. So he's got himself a couple bruises on the cheek and chin from these attempts. Despite the falls, he's got pretty good balance and stands alone for a good chunk of time. He'll grab a toy, get to his feet and then stand there shaking his toy like a hot shot. I'm guessing in 2 weeks this fella will be off like a race horse. (Oh boy!)

In just one week Brady turns the big Numero Uno, so we've been busy getting rid of some of those "baby" things to truly give him big boy status. All this past week he's been bottle free~ well minus a fit that earned him a bottle at school when he saw all his other friends getting one. But otherwise he's taking his cup of milk great! And yes its milk... he's loving the cow's milk, and I'm loving passing over the formula aisle. Win - Win for us all.

From a young age we've learned that Brady likes to let you know what he wants. Although lacking the vocabulary to tell us, he certainly makes up for it by excersing his vocalization abilities. He's so good he's got Dylan and Riley (on their own free will) singing goofy songs or offering up their toys to the kid when he complains. And NEVER at the age of one would I have given Dylan and Riley Cheetos for snack... but when this guy sees what we've got and what he doesn't he carries on until he gets some too. He's got us all wrapped around his finger...when he screams we aim to please. (I think we've gotta stops this monster, before we're real sorry.)
