So Big!

After Brady finished dinner the other night we were playing in his highchair and Andy snapped a few pictures of our little giggle box. We were practicing putting our arms up in the air and saying "So Big." Brady was full of laughs and Andy captured this one. That smile just melts your heart.

Yes, we said everything

Remember how I have been saying that Brady chews on everything? Well this proves it. His favorite thing to chew on in the kitchen is the metal bar stools. It drives me crazy! He pulls himself up onto his knees and then gnaws on the metal. I am so afraid that he is going to fall and hurt himself. Worse yet, you can hear his teeth on the metal. No matter what we do we cannot get him to stop. You have got to love the picture though!

Sour Stuff

Our food adventures continue. Brady's food of the week is applesauce and he is NOT a fan. We could not believe the sour face that he showed us on Tuesday night when he tried it for the first time. Here is a snapshot of the face we got with each and every bit. No, he is not crying. He is gagging! Now he has resorted to keeping it in his mouth for a second or two and then spitting it out back at you. Ah, the joys of new foods!

Exploring...

Brady loves being on the move! He is a crawling machine now and gets where he wants to go pretty quickly. Yikes, we need to get our gates installed quickly! He is also sitting himself up. It is amazing to see how fast things are changing with him! This week Brady got time to explore the kitchen, on numerous evenings, while mommy was making dinner. He played with the tupperware and found a plastic pitcher one day. He enjoys getting into the cupboards, opening drawers, trying to stand up on anything he can grab, and chewing on the bar stools. The kitchen is one exciting place!

Check out the drool hanging from his chin! Brady has been teething a lot again and we still only have two teeth. We are hoping some more break through soon.

Camo and Blaze

Brady received a package in the mail yesterday from Andy's cousin Emily. She found this camo and blaze orange hat where she works and couldn't resist getting it for him. It is a little big now, but will fit in the future. I guess in the Johnson family you have to start them young.

On the move...

It's official. Brady is on the move. He has started crawling and is beginning to explore all kinds of new places. He discovered the joys of the kitchen floor this week. You can scoot faster on this smooth floor than on the carpet you know! Brady especially enjoys playing peek-a-boo around the kitchen island. It is so fun to watch him make these mile stones.

Food of the Week

Brady's new food this week was green beans! This would be his first of the green veggies. As you can see, most of the first bite came back out at me, but after that he was loving them. He loves to eat and can't get enough of those tasty veggies!

Stylin' in our new hat

I set out with my mom today to shop the winter clearance deals for Brady and look what I found! This would be Brady's first baseball hat. We found it at the Children's Place and it was just too cute. Best of all it fits perfectly and has elastic so it should fit on through the summer. Brady has never minded wearing hats and I knew that Andy would love it too.

Brady is just such a little boy!

Our happy little man...

Brady continues to be full of smiles. He is changing so much each and every day that it is truly amazing. It is hard to believe that he is 7 months old now. Brady is loving his solid foods and consumes every bit that you give him now. He eats like a little baby bird, opening his mouth just waiting for more.

Each and every day Brady is getting closer to crawling. He successfully is up on his hands and knees now, but he either rocks back and forth or moves backwards. He just cannot go forward yet! Brady is most successful moving forward using the army crawl. You should be proud Uncle Jerry! It is funny to watch. It's hard work for him though and he gets frustrated easily. We know he will be crawling in no time and then we'll really have to watch out!

Love those grins and giggles!

Future Mr. Right

We had to just laugh when Brady received this shirt as a gift from his Andy's cousin Kara. You have to admit, he is pretty handsome!
