Besties

The week before Thanksgiving my girlfriend Madeleine, her son Max, Brady & I drove down to Newport for a week of R&R. Brady made it very clear that he hated all 6 hours of the drive, but once we arrived we had a great time. The week involved more Diet Dr. Pepper, Cafe Rio, and lounging around than I care to admit, but I enjoyed every minute of it! Max loved playing with Brady (even though he can't even sit up on his own). I can't wait till Brady is a bit older so they can run around & play together! On Friday, Mad & Max flew home and Christian flew in for our first vacation as just the three of us!

Daddy's boy

If I didn't know better I might wonder if Brady was actually my child. He is a spitting image of Christian as a baby. Plus, we just went to the Dr. for his 4 month check up and he is over 99th percentile for height. Obviously, that's not from me either. He also barely made a peep when he got his shots. I think I was more upset than him. Love this little guy!

First Haircut

Brady is losing his hair, but it has been slowly falling out in chunks. It has been an uneven mess for awhile now. Thankfully, Heather came to the rescue and gave him a much needed hair makeover. She may have been partially motivated because his hair loss somehow created a Y on the back of his head:)
All done...He paid Heather with lots of kisses!Christmas came a little early for Brady. Heather got him two sets of super cute Christmas PJs

Brady's Blessing

You are probably thinking...if we would've waited any longer Brady could've walked himself up to the podium. Between everyone's vacations it was hard to find a day that would work, but we finally did. My parents and grandparents flew into town and Christian's good friend Nate Defries came down Dublin. Brady received a beautiful blessing and thanks to a friend in the ward (with apparently lightning fast handwriting) we have the whole blessing transcribed. After church Cindy hosted and prepared a delicious dinner for everyone! There's is definitely no shortage of people that love Brady and we feel so lucky that he can be constantly surrounded by family and close friends!

All Hallows Eve

Brady really wanted to dress up and go trick-or treating again so who was I to stop him. Although it was hot and his costume was clearly not designed for summer weather, I let him wear it anyway (he really liked all the compliments). We joined a group of friends for lunch and then some afternoon trick-or-treating in downtown Los Altos. Later in the evening we went to a Halloween party at Joe & Meg Field's house.
