Baby, it's cold outside

We have had a relatively quiet start to the new year.  We've mostly been home catching up on all the housework that got pushed aside during the holidays.  We've done some furniture rearranging to accommodate Brady's growing collection of toys and to give him a play space on the main level.  We have also been able to visit with friends, and Mommy and Daddy got to have a date night thanks to Denise!

Brady is working hard at trying to crawl.  He's got the stance right, but he can't seem to get his arms and legs moving in a cooperative motion.  Instead he scoots backwards, which really frustrates him!  He seems to have a little more control from a seated position.  He can scoot backwards and also rotate himself around sideways.  Unfortunately most of the things he wants are in front of him!

Brady is still eating a wide variety of foods (including meats now), but vegetables are definitely his favorite.  Now we have to bribe him with vegetables to get him to eat his cereal.  And feeding time has gotten increasingly messy since Brady wants to "help" with the process.  He's quick to stick his hands in the bowl or grab the spoon from you and fling slop across the kitchen.

We are counting down to Spring when we can get outside again!

This picture perfectly illustrates their relationship.

Ready to crawl!

Teething, but still no teeth...

Morning play time

So serious

I think he's growing a little mohawk

Happy boy

Extra cute

He's getting so big!
