Funny Story

We don't normally let Brady run around the house naked but tonight after Rob gave him his bath he ran out of the bathroom into the kitchen where I was. Of course I instantly grabbed the camera to take pictures of my cute little "nakie" baby (yes, I'm that mom!). I was snapping away when suddenly Rob yelled and jumped over me with a towel in hand. I didn't even realize he was PEEING on my dishwasher! We had a good little laugh over this one. This picture will go down in history. 

Some of Brady's Favorite Things

Playing with Daddy's camping lantern

Wearing Mama's workout headbands (and throwing fits when he doesn't get what he wants!)

Playing with the dryer light

Smashing his face against windows and tupperware

Wearing (and walking in) everybody's shoes. Daddy gets upset though when he put on Mama's high heels!

WHO DAT!

OK, so we're normally screaming Who Dey cheering on our Cincy Bengals, BUT tonight we will be cheering for the Saints and for our friend from high school Zach Strief (#64)! We are so excited to actually know a player in the big game! He is a super friendly all around great guy. Check out his foundation here.

Go Saints and Big Z!!!

Haircut!

I realized I haven't posted any pictures of Brady lately so these are for you mom! We gave Brady his 2nd haircut a few weeks ago - just using the clippers. We sat him in the high chair and gave him a cracker to entertain him and keep him still. He did really good! Of course daddy thought the best way to clean him up afterwards was to vacuum him off. Genius idea, Dear!

The Chaos Continues

Today Rob planned on finishing laying the wood in our foyer and the small hallway. He tore out the carpet and baseboards. But when he went to Home Depot to buy the little metal strip he needed to put down where the wood transitions into the carpet they didn't have any more. The only place that still has them in stock is a store in Florida. That's an hour and a half drive from here :( Not quite sure what his plans are for that now.

Last night I was invited by some friends to Dream Dinners. Has anyone heard of this before? I had a lot of fun and made 12 different meals. We're eating our 1st one tonight....Crispy Southwest Lasagna. Hopefully it's yummy and hopefully it saves me lots of time!

I realize I may be the worlds worst blogger. We've had so much going on between our flooring/redecorating project and staying busy with Brady and his activities. I really need to get better with documenting what is going on in our lives since I'm way too lazy to break out the scrapbooking supplies! I need to make it more of a priority to record these memories before they slip away and I forget them!

My Worst Nightmare

I have a lot of fears when it comes to bad things that could possibly happen to my family, especially to Brady. And early this morning one of those fears came true. Around 5:30 this morning I heard Brady stirring in his crib, but he wasn't being that loud so I was hoping he would fall back asleep like he sometimes does. A few seconds later we heard a loud thud followed by skrieking. Normally Rob sleeps through his night wakings, but he sat straight up in bed and said "I think he fell out of his crib". By this time I was already halfway to the door. Sure enough I found him standing against the wall behind the door crying. I checked him over good and there weren't any major bumps or bruises on him, so I rocked him back to sleep. I had the hardest time falling back to sleep after that. I felt so bad that this happened to him. His crib mattresses was on the second to lowest setting, so Rob lowered it to the bottom this morning. It's only about 2 inches lower though. Hopefully it keeps him in because I really don't think he's ready for a toddler bed yet!

The Happiest Place on Earth!

Guess where we're going??? We are so excited! Rob's brother and his wife have invited us to tag along with them in September for a trip to Disney World! We have been wanting to go for a long time, but before we had Brady we weren't sure how much fun it would be for 2 adults. Instead we kept using Rob's vacation time for trips back to Cincy and one nice trip to the Mayan Riviera. After Brady came along there was no point in going with a newborn. But by the time we take this trip he will almost be 2 years old. Still not old enough to remember the trip or recognize any of the characters, but I do think he will enjoy himself.

The only time I've ever been to Disney World was when I was a kid and my parents took our family. We ended up not using one of the days on the tickets that my parents had bought for us, so they saved them because they had been told they were good for a lifetime. My mom called the park last week to verify that they really were still good and they are! The date on the tickets is from November 1991! Can you believe that? They will definitely come in handy since tickets are so expensive. Thank you mom for keeping up with them for the past 18 years and for letting us have them! If anyone has any planning advice or ideas to keep a 23 month old happy please let me know.

Our kitchen floors are done - YAY! And Rob finished the laundry room this morning - YAY! It looks great, but we still need to put down new baseboards, so the edges still look a little unfinished. And I'm trying to find some fabric that I like for some window treatments. I will post pictures soon.
