Brady is 9 months old!

It's really hard to believe that I have a 9 month old baby. Time really does fly by! in just 3 months my little boy will be one! Each month that he gets older makes me excited and also very sad at the same time. I want Brady to be my little baby forever! I am already starting to think of cute themes for his first birthday. If you have any ideas let me know! Anyways, Brady will have his 9 month well child check up in a couple weeks (they couldn't get him in any sooner) So I don't know his stats yet. All I know is that he weighs 21 pounds.

Brady has been such a good baby so far for Joe and I. We are so blessed to have him. He has been developing such a funny personality. He loves to play games and get tickled by his daddy. He is enjoying all the different type of foods that I am finally comfortable with him having. He is crawling everywhere now. He still does the army crawl when he wants something that is far away from him. He just started to lift himself up so he is standing with the couches support of course. Everyday he makes us proud.

We are going to the puyallup fair on Friday so I will take some fun pics of his first time at the fair. I love firsts. I am really wanting to see more family. If I go more than a week I get lonely over here haha. I don't know what I am going to do when we get stationed far away!

My next project!

I did NOT make these, but I would love to make some that look like them. I have been trying to find a fun hobby for me to do. I have done the scrap booking and making baby blankets all of that and It's not really for me. I really like meaningful jewelery, and they look easy to make (I hope). I think they make perfect Christmas gifts too! So if any of you know the best places to buy the stamps and metal let me know. I think I am just going to Home Depot today to ask around. Wish me luck!

Week home to see Brooke!

Here are a bunch of random pictures of last week. Brady and I stayed at my parents house so I could see my friend Brooke and her kids Landon and Carter. Landon just turned 3 and Carter is only 2 and a half months old. He looked so tiny to me! I don't even remember Brady at that age!

First Hair Cut!

I have had some mixed feelings about cutting Brady's hair. I have always felt that once I do it, He wont be my little baby anymore. Well I did it. I cut his hair! I think he is just as cute, he just looks a little older to me! Here are his before pictures!


And here is his after pic. Doesn't he look handsome?

Wesley and Brady

Randy, Alicia, and Wesley came to visit us today! I was happy to get Brady and Wesley together to play. They never really get to see each other because they live in Utah (hopefully for not too long ;) Brady and Wesley had some time to get to know each other while we had a nice BBQ. Brady just wanted to grab/kick/slap Wesley.Hopefully next time they play Brady will be a little nicer to Wes! Here are some videos of the cute monkeys playing.
