Summer Fun

I am throughly enjoying being home with Brady this summer! Today we went on a walk and went over to our neighborhood school. Brady went for a little swing. He loved it! Of course, he was more interested in looking at the other kids on the playground than boring ol' mommy with her camera. This was the best I could do.
Brady peeking at mommy out on our walk.
Where has my baby gone? Doesn't he just look like a toddler now!?!? I can't believe that he is almost one. I took this picture outside after our walk and couldn't believe how big he is getting.


Giggle Box

Brady had the best time playing in the sheets and pillows the other day when I was changing the sheets on the bed. He scooted, walked, rolled, and giggled his way around this heap for almost a half an hour! What fun!

Nap Time

Andy laughed when he came in to see what Brady and I were up to the other day and found us both napping! It is tough work playing all day! :-)

Test Drive

While I was out thrift saling this past weekend, I found a hiking backpack for $3! We thought we would give it a try tonight before our trip out west in a month and see how Brady would like it. He was great - he loved riding on daddy's back. We think it will come in handy on our trip.
It's hard to see, but Brady is sporting his new Brewer hat from the game this weekend. It says, Little Brewers MVP on it. Like father, like son. The kid is only 11 months old and he already owns more Brewers clothing/hats than I have in my whole life! A boy after his daddy's heart!

Happy Traveler

Squeals of delight came from the back of the van as we headed to Milwaukee for the weekend with both sets of grandparents. We took in some shopping, swimming, and a Brewer game. Here is our happy little traveler in the van.
Toes are Brady's new favorite thing to suck on. So gross, but yet so cute. You tell him that it is gross and he just giggles and does it even more.
Little cutie...

Brady's First Swim

Brady had his first swim this weekend at our hotel. He was a little unsure what to think of the water when we first got in, but then he did have fun. He was splashing and kicking quite a bit. We brought a floatie for him too that he loved being pulled around in the water in.
Daddy was "tossing" Brady up in the air and landing in the water.
Brady thought this was pretty great.
Daddy also gave Brady his first shower this weekend. There was one right in the pool area which was way easier than doing a bath back in the room. He wasn't too sure what to make of the water coming out of the wall. I can definately say that he prefers baths, but this was fun too.

Chin-ups?

That's right...Grandpa Schwartzhoff had Brady doing chin-ups on the luggage rack before we headed to the game from our hotel. Silly grandpa!

The Big Game

Brady took in his first live Brewer game at Miller Park this weekend. His daddy was so excited! Both sets of grandparents joined in for the fun. We tailgated before the game and Brady was super good during the game. He loved the music and the fireworks for the homeruns.
Gotta love his retro outfit! This is Brady with his Polish bottlehead from the game.
No naps are rough on little ones. Good thing Grandpa makes a good pillow! He made it until about the 8th inning, what a trooper!

A little tired, but here is our fam after the game. It was a great time and the Crew won.
Go Brewers!

My new "toy"

Brady continues to love playing in the fridge and this picture was just too cute. I had to share it.
New toy of choice? The mustard bottle. Easy to grab for his little hands and of course it is straight into his mouth!

Love my grandpas

Monday night was Andy's weekly softball game and both sets of grandparents showed up for the big event. This was troublesome for Brady to decide which of his two favorite grandpas he should go to. Needless to say, he bounced back and forth between them both during the entire game. What a sweet photo!
