We Got A New Puppy! ; )

This is Brady's favorite toy. A chewed up dog toy. He crawls around all day with it in his hand. This is the first thing he wants once he wakes up in the morning. He wants nothing to do with all of his nice toys in his basket. He loves Max and wants what he has. Brady officially stole Max's favorite toy! I have two little puppies over here!

Navy Life :(

This is sad. I have been thinking about Joe going on deployment lately. We both know it is coming soon. The thought of him not seeing Brady and I for 8 or 9 months makes me very very emotional. I will just try and not think about it! Hopefully the ships will be full and he wont leave for another two years ; )

Clapping Baby

Brady boy learned how to clap today. He has been doing it all day!

Pumpkin farm with the Stuarts!

We went to a farm in town with our friends and soon to be first time parents (congrats!) Josh and Samantha.The farm had pumpkins, a corn maze, and home made ice cream! Brady loved to play with his baby pumpkin. I love Fall.

Diaper rash

Last night we had a baby and mommy meltdown! Last night around 2 a.m. Brady woke up crying so Joe got up and gave him a bottle to drink. After he drank that he started crying even harder so Joe came into our bedroom and asked me what was wrong so I told him his gums hurt (he has been teething but no teeth yet!) or he needs a diaper change. So Joe checked his diaper (so he says) and said it was clear. Well Brady got worse and after a half of an hour of him screaming and me giving him some baby Tylenol I decided to check his diaper. He pooped. His poor bum was on fire. So I started to change him and once I touched him he was in the worst pain of his life. I felt so bad for him! I started to cry from my overwhelming feeling of guilt and I was also a little mad at Joe for not actually checking his diaper. I finally got him to sleep around 3 am. I really can't stand to see Brady in pain. I guess it's just a part of motherhood that is inevitable!

Trip to Boise

Brady and I are finally at home in Oak Harbor from a week at my parents and a weekend in Boise, Idaho for a wedding! It was really great to see some my family in Idaho. Here are some pictures of our journey.



Here is a picture of Brady taking a bath. I thought it was cute, he looks like he is relaxing in a hot tub.
