8 Months Old!

We took photos this morning. It is very clear from these pictures that Brady is so ready to go places. Some of these photos look posed, but trust me, none of them are. He was moving around like crazy and getting into all different kinds of poses. Enjoy :)














Until this past weekend, I didn't have much new to report as for what's been going on. Brady was sick for a little over a week with an ear infection and had his first round of antibiotics so we were taking it pretty easy. But over the holiday weekend, he decided to learn how to sit up from a laying position, how to lay down from a sitting position and how to rock back and forth on his knees (the precursor to full out crawling). All bets are on him crawling in the next few weeks. In terms of food, he now gets three "meals" a day and new foods that he likes include: blueberries, raspberries, peas, corn, mangoes, strawberries, apricots. He has started to eat puffs without gagging but any food that is more solid (even mashed potatoes, apple sauce and smashed avocado) causes him to gag. We're slowly working on that. He still does not have any teeth. And he is down to two long naps a day - one around 845-915 and one around 1245-130. Each usually lasts 1.5 hours. It's glorious for mom and dad on the weekend.

The remote is so much more fun to play with than my expensive toys!





Best smile. Ever.


Brady's New Thing

He wants to crawl so badly. What he ends up doing is scooting backwards. Which makes him very angry because he gets further from what he wants. That's also how he ends up stuck under the coffee table. And yes, instead of helping him out, we took pictures :)
