A Day at the Beach

Saturday we had an opportunity to go the beach with some of our friends to Holden and had a great time!  We went to eat at Paradise Cafe which is the best burger place ever!  I was so excited to take Brady onto the beach and let him feel the sand between his toes.  He loved feeling the wind and looking at the ocean.

Getting ready to take a stroll!

He is so excited to go to the beach!

He was grinning the entire time we were out there!

Tricks and Treats

Last Wednesday we ventured to the park with some friends where Brady got to experience the fun of a swing for the first time.  The weather was so perfect so it was such a treat!  He loved the way it was less controlled movement like his baby swing.  He was grins and giggles the whole time sitting up in there as if to say, "See Mom I am such a big boy now!"  Thanks to our friend Tonya for these fun pictures!

 

Last Friday Brady started a new trick of laughing hilariously every time I tucked his knees under him.  Here he is kicking Brolly!  They seriously adore each other! 

Playing catch up!

March has been very busy for us!  I apologize for the delay of pictures as I left my camera in Shelby.  Now that it has returned home, I can update on our lives.  In a short month our little guy has tried drinking out of a sippy cup with great success, we bought a high chair, have been to Raleigh three times this month, the beach for a day, Shelby for a few days, two weddings, and our little boy is sitting up laughing and really just a lot of fun!

New Fun

Brady is doing all kinds of new things!  He loves sitting in his high chair to eat.  He is starting to explore the new world of fruits, he has had pears and bananas now!  He is doing very well with sitting up on his own by balancing on his hands for times of 30-45 seconds and is talking up a storm.  Should we be surprised?  It is hilarious.

We went to Shelby this past week for a few days to visit my friend Elizabeth and her growing family of now 3!  Sweet baby Anna is a beautiful 2 week old and it was amazing to hold her and be taken back to when Brady was that tiny.  We also got to have to have some fun playtime with my parents Nana and Grandpa as well as Aunt Kathleen!  I have misplaced my camera so no new pics until then!


Saturday Andrew and I ran our first 5K in Cary with his sister Allison.  It was benefiting colon cancer and called Get your Rear in Gear!  It was tough, I am proud to say Allison and I finished together, we actually beat Andrew but I am proud of him we both kicked butt!!!  Allison really encouraged me when the going got tough.  I stopped to walk 3 times between the 2nd and 3rd mile.  At the end I caught up to Allison and we crossed the finish line together with a time of 31:46!  I was wiped though and Allison looked like she could keep running!:)

We got to hang out with all of the grandparents, Great Grandma Marilyn, and see Aunt Amy for lunch and a stroll around the mall!  It was a great weekend!

Here are some fun videos of our little guy  talking up a storm!  Enjoy!
