Fun Times

A snowy Friday morning hanging out in our pjs!

We had a great time hanging out at the Jenkin's house this afternoon!!!  Minus the skirt...  :)  Supposedly I had it coming since we used to dress Jeff up, but I still claim I had nothing to do with it!!!

The girls wore him out....

 

Funny Picture

I saw this on Facebook and thought it was funny.  I know there are a bunch of them going around, but I got a kick out of this one!!

Belly Button

That famous belly button that Brady is so proud to show off is now infected.  I know how infections like that start, but I cannot figure out how Brady's got that way.  I feel so bad for him because it's all red, but it doesn't seem to bother him because every time I put the Polysporin on, he thinks I'm tickling him.  I think the part that bothers me the most is that I'm not sure how long these last and I don't want it to get worse.  Grrrr...  I don't like when things go wrong with my baby.  He also has the worst diaper rash he has ever had, so I wonder if it's connected or what is going on. 

Omaha & Books

I had a great day in Omaha on Saturday.  I LOVE my hair color (thanks Jenn!) and I got some good chat time in with my sisters and mom.  It was weird - we actually were able to have an hour or so conversation with no kids to distract us.  I always have a hard time leaving Omaha - I would love to live by some of my sisters.  It always takes awhile to get over that feeling. 

I left Brady at home with Chris.  I very much dislike not being with Brady, so although I enjoyed my day, it was hard to leave him.  I guess I "over-instructed" Chris and he decided to make a joke out of it.  First off, he said "Drake who?".  And then I would get text messages that would say 'Does Brady like Ranch or BBQ sauce with his chicken?' and 'He likes Mt. Dew, right?'.  And the best one was that afternoon I got the following picture below titled 'Afternoon Snack':

Point taken Chris.  I should trust that you know how to take care of him.  :)

**Also, I just finished reading two books and really enjoyed them.  'The Opposite of Me' by Sarah Pekkanen was one where it was hard to set down until I finished.  It was really great.  The other one was a bunch of short stories about being a Christian mom - it was good too!  It was 'Mothers Have Angel Wings' by Carol Kent.  I would recommend both of them!

Favorite Moment

I had a favorite moment with Brady yesterday.  Yesterday was not a great day because I had one of those make you nauseous light is too bright headaches.  We lounged around and after lunch, Brady wanted to lay on the couch next to me and drink his water.  We layed facing each other and he looked so grown up in my arms with his head up on the armrest.  Eventually he fell asleep and it was such a great cuddle moment.  He really does melt my heart.

And he is really just moving right along with his learning.  He is pointing to things he wants.  If I say "Do you want another cracker?" he'll walk over to the counter and point to where they are.  If I say it's bathtime, he'll walk over to the steps to go upstairs.  If I ask if he is ready for his milk, he'll walk into the kitchen.  Looking at books is another favorite of his.  He brings you a book and then sits in your lap so you can read to him.  He says "Hi" now when he sees people (most of the time) and it's high-pitched - - - it's so adorable!  He knows what his belly button is and sometimes when you ask "Where is your belly button" he pulls his shirt WAY up!!  He loves Drake and gives him kisses a lot (which entails leaning forward and putting his head on Drake).  He also recognizes the pictures on our fridge of his cousins.  And he can just reach the door knobs - he's getting so tall!  It's been a blast watching him grow and learn.  What a wonderful thing to experience!
