Packing?

Brady says "I love packing!" aka...mommy packs, Brady plays in the boxes.

Indoor Sports Center

Brady was in heaven last week when I took him to the Indoor Sports Center for their open gym for toddlers. We met several friends there for a playdate. Brady was all about the balls. He played basketball for half of the time. Shooting hoops, taking the balls off the rack and putting them back on...

Alex got to hang out with mommy and watch his brother go nuts!
The other half of Brady's time was spent with the soccer balls. He loved lining them all up and then kicking them into the goal.

After some play time, we had snack with our good friend Madisyn and her mom. It was a great playdate!

Christmas Lights!

Last weekend was beautiful and so my dad thought it would be the perfect time to get the Christmas lights up. Brady was all over that and of course wanted to "help." Here he is, against my wishes, on the roof with Grandpa "helping."

He also made a few trips up the ladder. I felt somewhat better about this. At least it wasn't as high off the ground.
Now of course whenever we are at my parents Brady says "Want to go on the roof with Grandpa!" Thanks, dad.

Teeth are coming

I just loved this picture of Alex cuddling in with Andy!

Precious sleeping baby...did you notice the bib? FULL of drool. Yep, first tooth is in and there are more on the way. I HATE the nasty bib business. Yuck.

My little chef

The play dough was quickly forgotten when Brady saw that I was going to be baking something this morning. He loves to help me cook and jumped at the chance to help make the pumpkin pies for Andy's Thanksgiving lunch at work tomorrow. Brady is a great helper!

Love, Love, Love these two pics!

All smiles! Alex is getting to be so much more interactive! I love his smile and his giggle and thought these two pictures were precious.

Lunch date

Since I am home for a few weeks, we decided to set a lunch date with my dad. My dad and I used to have lunch together all the time when I was in college, but that doesn't happen very often any more due to our work schedules. Friday I took the boys to Concert Choir to pick him up. We got a bonus too...Aunt Jen got done early and was able to join us. Super fun!

Alex napped through the whole thing!

Baby Yoga

My little sister is in town for a few months doing some of her pharmacy rotations, so she has been coming over each day after work and the two of us work out together. Alex has been in the habit of not naping much in the afternoons this past week and is usually pretty fussy (and ready to be held) by the time we get to our Yoga stretch at the end of our work out. Here is Jen doing her Yoga with Alex.
