The Patch Hill Gang

Well it seems all the cool kids are doing it. Riding in the blue buggy that is. Here are a few of the gang members hanging out in their cars.

I like this picture because it looks like Brady is telling Ryland a secret and he is making sure we weren't listening. Too cute!

Not sure what they were looking at but it must have been exciting.

Brady is bored I guess.

They were watching Abby dance in the yard.

This picture is from the other day, that poor dog never seems to catch a break. This Brady attempts at cuddling.

My 1st Oreo

Tonight after dinner Brady had his first Oreo. Who doesn't love an oreo? I gave him the whole thing just to start with and at first he wasn't sure what to do with it. Once it touched his lips he looked at me and smiled. He LOVED it! I broke it up and he polished it off in no time. He even licked his fingers clean.

On a side note, he has been doing a ton of walking. More and more each day. He is getting so big. We are officially on all milk and we no longer use bottles. I never thought I would be so happy to get rid of the bottle. Bye bye bottles, it was nice knowing you!



Getting ready to lick his fingers clean.

All done!

And of course a video, I just can't help myself.

I'm Stuck!

Yesterday I was putzing in the kitchen with Brady and I looked over and he had himself stuck under the kitchen table. He stood there dancing for a bit and then got pissed. I took pictures before he got too upset. He couldn't figure out for the life of him how to get back out.


He is touching the glass here.

"Cheese!"

Apparently all the cool kids stand on their toys to watch tv. This is that toy that was driving me crazy a few weeks ago. Not anymore, most of the buttons don't work anymore. Probably from overuse. Oh well.



Hanging like a monkey!

Peek a boo.

Not sure what they were all looking at here but it must have been interesting for all 3 of them to stand still long enough for me to get a picture of it.

Playdate today

Brady had some buddies over today for a playdate. He wasn't too thrilled about sharing his clubhouse, but at least it was all boys. No girls allowed!



Telling Miles a secret.

I am pretty sure Brady knocked Colby over to get to the door. Colby doesn't look thrilled.

"Who me?"

Trying on Daddy's new hat from his golf outing today.


Can you see how soaking wet his shirt is from drool and the big dangling drool from his chin. Yuck! I can't wait until he gets all of his teeth and we are hopefully done with drool for good.

Fisher Cats Game

Today we went to a Fisher Cats game. We didn't know how well Brady would do but we gave it a try anyway. He was pretty well behaved. They were playing the Reading Philles so he got a chance to wear his Phillies shirt. We ended up getting free tickets from a very nice couple at the gate. Can't beat free! And our seats were 3 rows behind home plate. Unfortunately we were in the full sun and it was quite warm, and the soft serve machine was broken so we didn't even get an ice cream cone. He made it to the 7th inning which was longer than I expected. He is now snoozing in his bed, so it was good for something.


Sweaty Eddie snacking on some goldfish.


That guy there in yellow is the guy who gave us the tickets just in case you were wondering.

Dinner, ducks, and the fun with Dad

These first few pictures are from yesterday, but I thought they were a funny progression. Here he is riding his car and talking on my cell phone. He looks kinda guilty here, huh?

Yelling at me.

Rolling his eyes. Seriously, is this kid a 14 year old girl or what? He has such a strong personality and I love it.

This morning Brady got to go along for a ride with Dad to mow the lawn. He does have clothes on underneath, it kinda looks like he is naked here, but he is not I promise. He got a real kick out of this as did most of the neighbors.

Tonight we went to dinner and afterwards we went to feed the ducks. I didn't know you were supposed to throw the bread really far away and we got swarmed by a gang of angry ducks. I guess you should follow the signs that say "Don't feed the ducks". This was the only picture I was able to get while we were running back to our car. We did end up feeding them from the car window because I didn't want to waste the bread I brought to do this.

We stopped for a quick swing at the park.

This kid is surely part monkey, he loves hanging from stuff. His new favorite is hanging from the front door knob. Who does that? Oh right, Brady does!



Hanging like a monkey again.

And this is what happens after hanging like a monkey:

Fun in the Yard

Here is Brady on his roller coaster in the yard. If we weren't such fat-asses we could keep him entertained doing this all day, but it was killing us pushing him up that hill over and over again.


Here is Brady showing us how he uses his slide out back. I keep telling Jim it is time to teach him to go down on his bottom because when we are at the park he tries diving head first off of every slide.

Just another day with Brady

We are currently living in 1-nap-a-day-hell. It is a crappy place to be that's for sure! It was Brady's decision to move to this place and as much as I try to move back to the happy place, he says no. Oh well. We went into Manchester to have lunch with Jim and then tonight we went to the driving range so Daddy could hit some balls and Mommy could have ice cream. It's a win-win for everyone.

Here he is waving to everyone from Jim's building while we wait for the ATM.


Here he is watching Daddy hit some balls.


Here he was this time last year. What a difference a year makes.

Cruising in his car.


Daddy teaching Brady how to hold the club. Looks like he needs shorter clubs, but his stance is pretty good.

Trying to do it like Daddy.
