Can't Forget About Dillon and Starbuck...

Dillon, Grandma and Grandpa Thornton's dog, is a 6 year-old golden retriever who could stand to lose some weight (probably 20 pounds). Starbuck, Big Uncle Pat and soon-to-be Aunt Kate's dog, is a 7 month-old puppy who has limitless energy. This is what Dillon and Starbuck did for the 5 days they were together. And what you aren't seeing are all the times Dillon tried to escape Starbuck only to have Starbuck follow and continue to play.

Brady and his Adoring Fans

Brady with Cousin Katie.



Brady with Aunt Kathy... he promptly christened her with spit up.





Aunt Heather requested a specia personal photo shoot with Brady. She even dressed to match him in her Browns shirt.

Getting a little cranky from all the flashes and attention
Brady is apparently attempting to pick his nose because he's not a fan of the bulb sucker.

Big Uncle Pat's (or BUP as he is now called thanks to Sean), second attempt at holding Brady. The first didn't go so well, and well this time, Brady appears to be expecting to eat. Not gonna happen with Uncle Pat buddy.

Brady and His Bouncer

Brady got a bouncer from Aunt Heather and so far seems to love it. He especially loves the penguin on the play bar in front of the bouncer. Brady even tries to talk to the penguin when he's in an especially good mood.

Christmas Day

Aunt Heather bought this lovely Santa suit for Brady (at Sean's urging). I do believe it was a big hit.

Sean insisted that we take some pictures of Brady in Tristan's (Grandma and Grandpa's dog) new dog bed before opening presents.


Family photos before all of our outfits are either spit up on, pooped in or peed in. I reserve the poop and pee comments for Sean and Brady :)



On our way to Christmas mass with our little Brady. He was SO good at mass - he just slept the whole time in my arms and was adored by the women behind us.

Naptime in the Moses Cradle

Aunt Heather's friend Lindsay was nice enough to let us borrow lots of her baby items so we didn't have to bring tons and tons to Ohio. Brady definitely enjoyed the cradle, but don't be fooled because although he looks peaceful, this nap lasted all of 10 minutes.

Random Ohio Pics

Normally, Brady wears PJs all day because really, we have nowhere to go and no one to see. However, since we were in Ohio, we got "dressed" in outfits everyday. Here is a sampling of Brady's cute outfits.

The Christmas outfit mom and dad bought for Brady.




A winter outfit from Grandma and Grandpa Thornton.





A great flannel outfit from Beth Wolfson.

On Our Way to Ohio

We figured the "baby on adventure" onesie was fitting for Brady's first trip to Ohio. However, about halfway through the trip, he decided otherwise and pooped on it.

Brady's Favorite Pastime

With a little help from mom, I found my thumb. However, I still haven't discovered my hands or my thumb on my own so this was a one-time deal.

Walking Gear

Don't worry - we didn't go anywhere in the car like this. This was for our walk with Olive. I like to refer to Brady as the marshmallow man.
