Daffodils!

Thursday, March 18, 2010

Today I spent another great day outside! Daddy has to work late so Mom and I decided to hit the road and walk around the neighbor. After greeting everyone and every single truck in the neighborhood, we retreated to the back yard....my favorite place. You are never ever going to believe what we found......lots of daffodils! Who would have ever thought that less than a month ago they were covered with three feet of snow and now they are here!!!! I was so excited about them and wanted to smell every last one of them. Mommy even let me pick one and carry it around the backyard. I had so much fun! My outdoor adventure must have wore me out because I took a 2 hour and 45 minute nap. When I finally got up, I broke my fish stick eating record!!! I ate 7 complete fish sticks all by myself! I probably would have eaten more but that is all Mom fixed me tonight. I am becoming such a good eater!

Sunny Day!!!

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Today is another great day in the life of Brady! Who am I kidding.....every day is a great day in the life of Brady. I slept in this morning until about 9:30am. I have become a late sleeper since the time change. Mom is one happy camper!

It is so beautiful here and the weather is great. We are in the 60's which means lots of playtime outside for me. I am hoping that my Daddy gets home before dark so I can have him pull me all over the backyard in my wagon. He is the best at that game. Mom is too cautious and doesn't let me get any air when we hit the bumps. Oh, and Mom finally found where she "hid" my golf clubs so I get to play some golf this evening. For some random reason, Daddy let me bring them inside this past winter. Well, let's just say between the TV and the cats, it was a little too dangerous for me to have them in the house. Thank goodness for warm weather!!!!

Monday FUN!

Monday, March 15, 2010

Well, today I had a surprise........ My Daddy was home when I crawled out of bed! Normally, he is off on Tuesday but this week he was off on Monday. What a great start to the week! I also wanted to add that I was the last one out of bed this morning. You're very welcome Mom!

Over the last week, I have been spending a lot of time on my personal hygiene. I finally discovered that I could pull the step stool over to the vanity in the bathroom and stand up on it! I don't know why it took me so long to figure this out being that I climb on everything! I brush my teeth about a half dozen times a day. I also like to wash my hands, clean my ears, and comb my hair. I guess you could say that my favorite room in the house has to be the bathroom. Too bad I still won't get anywhere near sitting on the toilet!

Oh, I don't think I have told you all about my grocery store adventure with Mom. Mom finally gave in and did something that she swore she would never, ever do the other day. She pushed the mother of all carts at the grocery store....you know which one I am talking about.....the one with the car attached to the front with TWO steering wheels. I was so happy. Let me tell you, the steering wheels could spin all the way around. I was probably the happiest kid who ever fastened the seat belt in the car cart. As Mom pushed the HUGE cart around the store I would yell with happiness......Wooooooooowww....Woooooooooo........EEEeeeeeekkk! Everyone had to stare at the overly happy kid and smile at me. Mom, on the other hand, tried to be quiet. She was so quiet I had to routinely yell MAAAAAA every 38 seconds to make sure she was still there. Unfortunately, the cart wouldn't fit in Mom's car so she had to drag it back to the cart corral while I was fighting her every step of the way. I did not want to leave!

Mom decided to color the water blue and I didn't like it one bit!

My most brilliant idea ever!

I love to brush my teeth!

It all about technique!

Such a sweet face!

Enough already!

And you wonder why I won't sit on the potty.........no privacy!!!

Amazing Peanut!

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

I am absolutely the most amazing Peanut in the world. Yesterday, Mommy had to take me with her to one of her doctor appointments. I am usually a handful anytime I get near a doctor type setting. Daddy was having to work so Mom knew we had to make it work. I did AWESOME!

We got up and got ready real quick. Mommy decided to let me eat breakfast in the car being that the first sign of going somewhere, I wouldn't get my head out of the pet door. We parked a good mile away from the part of the hospital that we were headed to for the appointment. I think Mommy was secretly hoping that she would walk some of my energy right out. Well, it must have worked because I couldn't have been a better boy.

At the hospital, we got to see a lot of neat things. I got to see a statue of a big lion. I pointed out all of his parts and roared at him for about 15 minutes. I had a blast. We then went on a color hunt. I helped name all the colors on the vending machines. Daddy has been working on my colors with me so I was able to find red, blue, green, yellow and orange. Too cool! I also discovered that I am a little afraid of elevators. The first one scared me but the other three that we went on had other people in it that talked to me so it wasn't as scary.

During the appointment, Mom came prepared with a cool new toy and shortbread cookies. I got to have some cookies in the lobby and I got to play with my new toy back in the examining room. My new toy was a Fold N Go Matchbox Mickey Mouse Toy. It came with a car and everything. I didn't make a peep the entire time because I was so intrigued by it. Oh wait, I did say Oh my when they put a bandage on Mommy's arm from the blood draw.

Even more exciting news.....Nurse Sandy decided to measure me too. I was 35.5 inches tall. I was squirmy at the pediatrician's office so I was still as a statue for this measurement. They let me stand up tall against the wall and Mommy couldn't believe how good I was for everyone! Nurse Sandy even decided to pull out her purse and give me a special sticker from her collection. It was Percy! I was so excited! My sticker collection is getting bigger!

Mom will find out later this week about her blood levels and if she will be taking more or less of the Vitamin D. Nurse Sandy was so nice to us and told her that anytime I needed to come with Mommy that I was more than welcome to come with her. Yay for a great day!

Coughs, Changes, and Addictions

Monday, March 8, 2010

Well, I am feeling a lot better despite the fact I got Mom up at 4am this morning. She has officially caught my cold so we have spent the day coughing together. Mom has a true cough but I am mainly just mocking her.

Besides being a sick, I have a lot of updates on the Kaye House. I officially have my very own car. Yes, you read it correctly. I am a proud owner of a Step 2 Stock Car Bed!!!! It is awesome! Mommy and Daddy decided to let me have a big boy room. My love of cars motivated the final decision along with Mom's life long dream to have a race car bed. I expect any night for her to beg me to let her sleep in it!

I also have a new napping spot. Mom and Dad splurged and got a new living room set. they sold the other one and my baby furniture so it really didn't cost much at all. I am still getting used to it but I am sure that I will start to like it eventually.

Last but not least, I have an addiction. I think that I may need to sign up for the Intervention show on A&E. I have discovered those wonderful little things called Girl Scout Cookies.....more specifically Trefoils (Old Fashion Shortbread)cookies. I can't stop eating them! The scary part about all of this.......Mommy only ordered ONE box!!!! I have already eaten half of it! What am I going to do!??

The race car bed was a big job so I needed to help Dad.

I was the official supervisor.

Dad was putting on the wheels in this photo.

I had to make sure that everything was put together right.

Here I am being a lazy boy in a LAZY Boy!

Wild post nap hair!

I went to sleep with my Yo Gabba laptop in hand!

Future Mugshot --- Looks a little like Gary Bussey.

I was not amused that Mom was taking advantage of my wild hair moment.

And then she showed me what I looked like! Ha ha!

Quick Update

Saturday, March 6, 2010

I thought I would give everyone a quick update. I am still a sick little peanut. All week I have been getting more and more icky and Mommy took me back to the doctor this morning...........double ear infections. The doctor decided to give me a different antibiotic to see if that would clear up my problems. I have a cold on top of everything. Luckily, Mommy and I have had Daddy home with us to help out and he has helped take great care of me. Mommy sure hopes that my ears get cleared up soon and I start feeling better.

Great Weekend!

Monday, March 1, 2010

Well, we had another great weekend! I now have a cold but my ears seem to be better. I am a weeeee bit grumpy. Between playing and eating, I am sneezing and coughing. I have been stuck here because Mommy doesn't want to risk getting anyone else sick. I can't wait to get out of this house!

Yesterday, Mommy got a package from Nana. She sent Mom some goodies and I got the best thing of all........the box! I had so much fun with the box. I spent half the day playing with it!
