So Brady has been sick all week and this is how he tells us he's just done!
When you tell Brady to smile for the camera...this is the smile you get.















Here's Brady's latest hand-me-down...thank you Groses! This chair is awesome and he absolutely loves it.

SAY CHEESE!

This is Brady's new smile when you put a camera in front of him.

What a Ham!!

One year ago today...this was Brayden. He could barely roll over. Contrary to how the saying goes "Boy, how time flies" this feels like a long long time ago that he was this little.

He is getting busier by the day, running, tearing the house apart and talking non-stop. But the highlight of every day now is ending it with a kiss for the split second that I can get his 'pappy' out of his mouth, he leans in, and says "mmwwaa" and then off to dream land.

Well, 2007 was the hardest year of my life and ended in a back injury. I'm hoping 2008 is infinitely better -- better with God, filled with new adventures, and meeting new people that help me grow, mature and become more of who God desires me to be.

The highlight that kept me getting out of bed each day this year was however this amazing kid, an absolute nut, a gift to us. He loves fruit (skin and all), loves to giggle and cuddle, gives kisses and hugs and makes me smile every day. I'm scared of how I am going to mess him up but just pray he gives me grace each day to learn how to love him well. I want to do that more than anything else in my life right now.

Brady Boo LOVES the zoo!
Brady loves his naps...even outside on a toy...

Brady loves to read...I found him reading on his own for like 10 minutes!
