but I love him a million times more here!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BRADY WADE!!

Our Christmas ....

we let him open one before we left for Kerrville on the 22nd ...

we thought it might be good for the trip!

Santa PawPaw came to Kerrville ...

our family.

a little excited about opening this one!

He got a tractor digger from Bryan's Mom and Dad!
Let's see what he is can dig up at the house!!

Then we drove to my papa's house on christmas eve ...
and then we went home! Had a little christmas by ourselves!

Then we went to my parents on christmas morning ...

He got a pump shot gun ...
his first power wheels!

There is a button on the steering wheel that makes it go forward! It's halirous to watch him!

Then we ate lunch at my Mema's house!

All in all, Awesome Christmas!!!

Tug a War

Brady and Violet are always playing tug a war with all of the stuffed animals.

Violet finds one and plays with it near Brady ...
Brady grabs hold and the tugging begins ...
Brady usually gives up first!

They repeat this many times a day!

Practicin' His Walking Skills

He spent a lot of time pushing this around ... and the steering was horrible, so we lead it around with a belt tied to it.

decked out in ALL camo!

"Daddy, I got your NOSE."

He loves to ride on Daddy's shoulders!

11 Months Old

Brady is 11 months old now .... and i don't know where the time went!

-He weighs 21 lbs.
-He is walking/running everywhere. To catch some of you up, He took his first steps a couple days before he turned 10 months. By 10 1/2 months, he was walking everywhere. It's crazy to see your baby walking places!!
-He still only has TWO teeth ... but we going through some heavy teething right now! I expect the top 2 to pop out anyday!!
-He is a blue-eyed blondie!
-He is such a talker. He says many baby words ... the ones we understand are:
mama, dada, lala and more. He has said ball a couple time, but still not sure if it fits the meaning!
-He loves FRUIT. Grapes, Oranges and Bananas are his favorite. Strawberries and apples are not far behind. He will never turn any of these down.
-and Chicken. White chicken meat! and Lasagna. and most soups (chicken and dumpling, potato). Those are some of his favorite foods.
-He is still one of the happiest kids!
-Great sleeper! He takes 2 naps still! Goes down usually around 8pm, sometimes earlier, sometimes a little later! and will sleep until 8am! Unless he is at Lala/Pappy's house ... he gets up at 6am with them! We try to leave that habit at their house!
-Will empty any box around the house! I really appreciate this trait! haha As I type this, He found the box I was going to send to a friend, emptied everything out and now is walking around the box! Thanks Brady!
-Loves Lala's Tea and Mama/Dada's Dr. Pepper .... but we still only give him water, milk and oj in his sippie cup!!

I could go on and on about this little one! But I am going to try and catch up on some blogging!!!
