Pow Pow Powerwheels

As you may have already seen in the video I posted over the weekend Brady got a powerwheels quad.  I couldn't resist it on clearance at Target.  It was meant for a christmas present but we gave it to him early so he would have time before the snow comes to learn to drive it outside with lots of space.  He isn't quite the badass I thought he would be driving it.  He is pretty nervous riding it and gets easily distracted, jumping off to pick up rocks or play with a ball in the yard.  Oh well, hopefully soon he figures out how cool this thing is.



"Eat my dust Dad!"

 

I love how he is hunched over like he is trying to speed himself up.

 

 

 

Look how cute his outfit is!  He is such a stud.

 

 

 

 


Brady Heads to Harvard

Two weekends ago we went to Harvard to walk around and see the sights.  There was a natural sciences museum we went to (after walking around trying to find it forever using Jim's cell phone for directions).  Here are a few pics from the day.





 

 

 

 

Banging on the glass and getting the side eye from other patrons.  We left a few minutes after this, he was just having way too much fun (ie. yelling a lot).

 

Can you guess why we took this picture in this exact spot?

The Epitomy of Bed Head

Brady took a late afternoon nap today.  When he woke up he had the craziest bed head ever.  For a kid with 7 hairs it was crazy.

The beginning of a yawn.



The middle of a yawn.

 

The end of a yawn, I guess he wasn't ready to get up.

 

 

"Mom, I will smile because I am assuming if I do you will stop taking my picture."

 

"Did you get a good shot of this hair?"

A little of this and that

I have been having a lot of fun playing with my new camera.  Here are some pictures I just uploaded from it.


The other day I discovered Brady's love for stickers.  Luckily I had a sheet in the drawer from who knows where.



 

Playing a quick game of peekaboo.

 

 

This was our craft on Thursday.  Very cute watching him sponge paint.  He has such texture issues, he was skeeved out by the sponges but still did it.  Lots of gagging was present during this activity.  He is so my kid!  The red splotches at the bottom right are his "signature".  So cute.

 

"Helping" me set the table.  I really don't love this new climbing thing.  He spends a good bit of time living life on the edge and hanging out on the kitchen table.

 

I saved up enough craigslist money for a new lens and I tried it out today.  Still figuring it all out but at least my subject is totally cute.  I love his ear sticking out.

 

Throwing a tantrum, what else is new.  This kid is very opinionated.

 

And throwing himself on the ground for added drama.

 

Dad made him smile.

 

I am always complaining that I am never in pictures so Jim decided to try using my camera.  He is pretty nervous to even hold it.  I love this picture!

 

And this one too!

Chilly Days Won't Keep Us Inside

Today Brady and I went to the park with Cara and Miles.  It was quite chilly but that's not going to keep us inside.  If we didn't keep busy I would lose my mind.  Keeping a hat on his head has been our most recent challenge.  I have been practicing for small amounts of time here and there.  Today he kept it on the whole time we were at the park, at least an hour and a half.  I am very happy about this.  I plan on being outside as often as possible and having a warm head will help that endeavor. 



I know its blurry but it was funny.  He was a nutball on this rocking thing.





 

My butt still hurts from this slide.  He loved it, I did not.

 

I don't know what is so funny, those rollers make your whole body jiggle and hurts your brain.



"Mom, please stop following me, I promise not to jump off of anything else."



 

 

 

After Cara and I lost all of our energy climbing on the park equipment we took the boys to play in the soccer field.

 

GOAL!!

 


Here is my big boy sitting at the table at breakfast.  He is like my tiny little roommate.  We just sit and chat and eat breakfast now.
