Hey Mikey - He likes it!

We started Brady on cereal last night - and I think he likes it. The first night he barely got any down. He spit out more than he swallowed and then he started making ugly faces about half way through, so we called it quits. But tonight, he really seemed to enjoy it. He would open wide when I put the spoon up to his mouth and he ate the whole thing (well, what didn't end up on the bib anyway). I can't believe my baby is already eating solids - time flies SOOO FAST! 

Getting ready for his first bowl of cereal on Saturday night:

Sunday night, 2nd bowl of cereal:

Here are just a few other recent pictures:

Look what I can do!!  I can sit:

So sweet and peaceful:

Brady gets this look on his face every now and then.  Its such a sweet face:

Happy Halloween

Brady had 2 costumes this year. Lance and I got him a Mickey Mouse costume and our friends Charlie and Christi Means got him a dinosaur costume. Here he is as Mickey Mouse:

Here is Brady trying on his dinosaur costume with Chase and little Charlie (Charlie and Christi's boys). This is such a cute picture of the 3 boys. I only wish my camera didn't give Brady such bad red-eye, it makes him look kinda scary:

Every year my company puts on a pumpkin parade for all of the employees kids. They put on their costumes and we do a parade around the building and people stand on the sidelines and hand out candy. Some people get so creative. Most of the little baby's are pulled in wagons and some of the parents decorate the wagon to match the costume. One of the other moms in our room dressed her son up as a pirate and his wagon was decorated like a pirate ship. Another friend of mine, Aly, dressed her twins up as tulip faries and decorated the wagon with tulips and lights and everything. We weren't that creative, we just put Brady in the wagon with the bobby pillow to help him sit up a little bit. Here he is getting ready for the pumpkin parade at daycare:

Brady figured it out pretty fast. He proped his hand up and waved to everyone throughout the whole parade, it was so cute!!!
So, this weekend we decided to get out the highchair and see if Brady would sit in it. We are getting him used to it for when he starts cereal in the next few weeks. He was such a trooper:

Here we are at our first time sitting as a family at the table. It was such a good night:

After dinner we decided to take some pictures with Brady and our pumpkin. Since he is our little pumpkin butt, we thought it would be cute to put his butt IN the pumpkin. Here's how it turned out.
Look at his face, he is like, "My parents are crazy!!!"


He's so adorable, he didn't quite know what to do with his arms.

Now he figured it out, what a cute face:

Fonzie wondered what on earth we were doing too. It looks like Brady was saying to him, "Can you believe they are doing this to me?"


Aawwww:


Yum!! This is when we had to finish up our little photo experiment. Brady kept on trying to eat the pumpkin. Do you think that means he's ready for solids???
My two favorite guys in the whole world, watching football together. Like father, like son:

This was just a random day, but he was so darn cute I had to take a picture:
And finally, the last picture for this post. Last night Brady was rolling all over the living room. He started on his play gym about 10 feet away and ended up here. There for a minute I thought he was going to roll right on in to his bedroom. Oh and by the way, that is a 9 month pair of jammies he's got on there:
