The Knee Bone's Connected to...


...Well, you know. Since we had Brady, the technology seems to have taken off a little bit. When we left our third (yes, third...with Brady, we had one ultrasound the whole pregnancy) ultrasound on Thursday, we were handed a neat little CD containing most of the main pictures that the technician took of the baby's legs, arms, hands, feet, face, etc. And, most importantly, a giant screen-sized shot of HIS man parts. Yup, there can be no mistaking it, Brady is going to have a little brother. Of course, I am too much of a lady to display those particular body parts on the World Wide Web, so instead you have all received a photo of his little legs and feet (if you squint really hard, you might be able to see some "bits") and another photo of his whole little body, including his Buddha-belly (will this little guy be a tad more chunky than his older brother?!). And we can, of course, already tell that he is soooo smart...he knows that it is appropriate to be in the fetal position, and so that's what he's doing. The only other sign of his personality that we were granted in this visit was a hand over his face, making the peace sign. Needless to say, we continue to be proud parents!
More photos can be requested individually.

Bad A**


Just some eye candy for the ladies.

At the Car Wash!


That car wash happens to be in our driveway, and the foreman is the most handsome little guy in town! What does Brady like to do while helping Daddy wash the car? Squirt everything except the car (preferably people), re-soap previously cleaned areas, and dump out the bucket of soapy water. Even if he's not the most effective helper for Dad, he is fun to work with!

No More Beebee!


Take a good look at that top picture because you will no longer see our big boy with his "Bee bee"! He stopped using one during nap time while he was at school, so we decided to try without it at night. He has actually done really well. Our boy is growing up so quickly!
Why the bottom picture, you ask?! I just thought I'd throw up a picture of Brady playing with his buddy Abby at his Aunt Elaine's house. We weren't there for 5 minutes before his pants were off and he has his shoes were on the wrong feet. What a boy!

Brady Goes to Preschool...

I dropped Brady off at Atascosita Montessori School for the first time this morning. He was initially excited to go. He remembered visiting and playing on the playground. But, when it was time for me to leave, he started making a pouty face...like he didn't want to cry, but she just couldn't help himself. His little lip curled down, and he buried his face in my leg. So, I had to be strong, and sit him next to another little boy in the circle, then turn and leave. Just as I got to the door, I heard the loud outburst of crying. It broke my heart. I almost just grabbed him and ran, but I know it's going to be really good for him to be around other children and learning new things. It was so strange to get my grocery shopping finished in under 2 hours! I will be picking him up around 2, and if he is traumatized, this may be the last day of preschool, too!

Sorry no pictures, our new computer is not my best friend right now.
