Never a Dull Moment

Life with Brady is always interesting.

He loves trying out his old baby gear that Caroline is now using.

His two favorites are the car seat and crib.

Ironic that he loves climbing into the crib.

Just a few months ago he couldn't get out of it fast enough.

The car seat is fun because he can rock it.

Speaking of climbing out of his crib...

Brady doesn't stay in his big boy bed either.

It has taken as long as 2 hours to get him to sleep.

We removed all toys and books from his room

hoping he would get bored and go to sleep faster.

For his safety, we also removed the shelves from the bookcase.

First he used them to climb to the top of the bookcase,

then he discovered that they moved and tried pulling them out.

Now it's a fun place to hang out with his blanket and Teddy.

I'm so glad that I kept my nephew's old toys.

Brady is having lots of fun with them.

This week we went old school and took out the Lincoln Logs.

As most of you know, Brady loves our cell phones.

The other day he was wandering around the house with Dan's.

When Dan needed it later we couldn't find it.

We thought we searched everywhere.

I later found it in a most unusual place...

Hanging from the cabinet door.

Brady was constantly getting into the cabinet and drawers

and emptying their contents all over the living room.

We got tired of telling him no, so we took the handles off.

Turns out the hole where the handles go is

the perfect place to hang a cell phone.

 Our boy loves music.

His favorite TV show is about a music group.

One of their songs is Just Like a Rock Star.

Brady is pretty sure he is a rock star.

I bought this cute little drum that came with cute little drumsticks

so he could practice without destroying the furniture.

Brady isn't always about adventure and excitement.

He is also very sweet and nurturing.

He is eager to help with Caroline.

Today he noticed she was drooling.

On his own, he brought over her burp cloth and wiped her chin.

As he did it he said "I wipe her spits."

Caroline isn't the only recipient of Brady's attention.

He takes very good care of Teddy and Puppy too.

There are times when I want to pull my hair out.

But most of the time, I can't get enough of my little boy.
