Christmas (Part 1 of many celebrations)

We had Jen, Ken, Claire and Charlotte over to celebrate Christmas a week early.  It was a great time!  And after Brady's 5-10 minute shy guy period, he spent the rest of the time being a ham and playing with everyone.

His favorite person to play with was Charlotte.  Unfortunately, Charlotte wanted to read her book instead so she was a bit of a reluctant participant.

And there's Brady "reading" Charlotte's book.  Oh, the irony.

Hugs before bedtime.  Why is Brady without pants?  Well, because Sean changed his diaper and pants are usually optional after Sean does a diaper change.

His Father's Child

Brady loved the new book Sean got yesterday.  So much that he wanted to "read" it.  I've got news for you buddy, that book will put you to sleep.

Good Morning!

Sometimes we take Noelle into Brady's room when we get him in the morning. When we do that, Brady usually asks us to put Noelle in his crib to hang out.  He then sits next to her and gives her stuffed animals then takes them away. 

Playing in the Cabinets

Brady has finally figured out that if he takes enough stuff out of the cabinets, he fits in there.  He enjoyed hamming it up while I took these pictures.

Yummy Toes

 Noelle started eating her toes while she was getting ready for bed tonight.  She was very determined.

Playing with Noelle

Now that Noelle can sit on her own and is much more interested in playing with toys, Brady finds all her toys so very interesting.  He also tries to engage her, which is really cute until he stops realizing she's little and he needs to be more gentle.

Please note the big firetruck out of place on Noelle's exersaucer.  Brady thought she might enjoy it.

Note also the dump truck for Noelle.

Now at some point in all this, Noelle got overwhelmed by all the extra toys and I had to explain to Brady that we had to move the trucks.

And so instead, he decided it would be fun to let her borrow his firetruck hat.  She had no idea what was going on, but surprisingly this did not make her cry.

My Shirt!

Brady wanted to take his shirt off while he was eating because he got food on it.  Except it got stuck on one arm and his head.  He was not pleased.  He was even less pleased when he saw me take out the camera to take a picture.
