More snow in Milford!

We got more snow today and this time we were able to try out his new sled. It is super cute and just his size. It took Jim a while to figure out that he was pulling it and was actually supposed to push it. This kid loves the snow and doesn't seem to mind the cold and wind.

All bundled up and ready to go!

Quick kisses for Mom!

Making snow angels and loving it!






Yesterday we were at Jim's office for our Tuesday lunch date and Brady was rocking his new lumberjack shirt with his matching hat. Thanks Great Aunt Sarah!


Brady is demonstrating the new way to drink your bottle.

Brady's swimming pool

We tried bathtime in our big tub tonight. Brady loved it but Jim and I nearly killed our backs trying to clean him and keep him safe. That thing is huge. He splashed like a fish. I am hoping this is a good sign because he is starting swim class in January with his best friend Ryland.

My Christmas Wish

I am only going to post this one more time and then you can do it if you wish. There is no deadline, I will make the book so I can add to it whenever. I know Christmas time was a busy time so once things settle down if you find this time, please feel free to write. Thanks! And if you already wrote, thank you his father didn't even write yet.

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was so fun with Brady. The whole gift opening thing was still pretty uneventful but oh well, there's always next year. Here is Brady, Daddy, and Uncle Jacob.

"I don't care if we open gifts, I found tissue paper I can eat!"

"I don't remember putting boxer briefs on my letter to Santa."


"Holy heck, how do you think we will get this home Dad? This thing is awesome!"

New jammies, Brady looks thrilled.

Brady was pretty pooped after opening his gifts so he sat back to lick some ribbon.

Silly Lasher boys.

Brady and Uncle Chris. Nice hair Uncle Chris!

Here is Brady trying out his new toy. It did fit in the car and will be ready to play with in the morning when he wakes up. I wish Uncle Jacob was here to put it together again.

Random pictures from our trip home

Here are all of the random-ish pictures from our trip home for Christmas.

Here is what I found today when I came out of the rest stop. Apparently Brady was going to try driving the rest of the way home and Jim was letting him practice. He thought he was so funny.


Snug as a pug in a rug!


Here is Brady opening gifts with Mimi.

Here is Brady trying on his new West End Boat Club sweatshirt. It doesn't quite fit yet but sure was cute. And I am not sure where his pants went, but I know he at least had a shirt on under that.


Brady and everyone's favorite Rachel.

"Ummm, Rachel what the hell is that monkey doing?"

Brady and Uncle Tommy checking out the web.

Brady is showing off Uncle Tommy's new 11" knife that he apparently needs.

Dinner at Nan's

We had dinner at Nan's the other night and here is Brady in the famous highchair. I am not totally sure how old it is but I am thinking about 50 years. Uncle Tommy is feeding him his dinner. Brady loved it because it is all metal and makes alot of noise when you bang things on it.

I love this picture. He's like "Hey I wasn't done yet!!"

Oh that's better Uncle Tommy.

Standing in the crib

Jim thought it would be fun to teach Brady to stand in his crib. Hopefully he forgets how to do this by the morning or we are in trouble. We already lowered his crib but I am not interested in new tricks such as this.

"Hey girl, can I hit you back?" Like from the E-Trade commercials. HAHA

It looks like he saw something exciting, huh? Not a thing on the floor though.

"This standing is hard work!"

Even naked babies can stand.


Jim said he doesn't get embarrassed about anything and swore he didn't care if I put this picture on the blog. We shall see!

Christmas came early!

So we wrote a letter to Santa to see if there was anyway he could come early since we won't be home on Christmas, and he did!! Santa came to our house on Saturday night so Sunday morning we had gifts to open. I don't know why I expected it to be a bit more exciting, but it was pretty uneventful. I guess when you have a 7 month old it will be. Overall it was fun and Brady got some cool stuff.

"Is this all for me?"

"So what do I do with this?"

"Mom, did you know there was a toy inside that paper? How cool!"


I swear it took Brady about 14 minutes to actually get to the present inside. He is too interested in the wrapping paper.


"I want to stop and play with the ribbon."


Here is Brady checking out the outfit he got from Aunt Donna. Too cute!!

Still hanging onto that ribbon.

?Mom, I don't care about the gifts you paid money for, I only like this bead maze that you got for free on Craigslist.?

Here is Brady showing his drunk with excitement face. Jim took this picture.

"I just need a second to lay down and admire the tree. This present opening is tiring me out!"

Tubby toys!

"Hello bear. I will now eat your face!"
