Pumpkin Time!

We had so much fun at the Bert's Farm Pumpkin Patch! We got three cool pumpkins and some delicous pumpkin pie.
Then our GPS - whom we call Jane - took us on an off-roading adventure that ended in a towtruck. ... At least the first half of the day was really fun!

Mom & Brad!

Sick bug

I thought that we would sneak through this first year without any colds or illness. well we almost made it.
I felt sooo bad for the little guy when the peaditrition said yup he has a sore throat.
now it has been a few days and i think he is feeling much better, but he still wants the same level of attention and caudling as before. i feel like the recovery from recovering is going to be long and hard. what happened to my headstrong independant little boy!

Busy and no camera

We've been up and down and all over the country this last month. Sadly few if any cameras that I owned were able to join us on our adventures.

But I haven't posted in a while so I figured i would share the last few pics I took of Bradley's adventures. Yes he has learned to crawl... and climb!

Hmm, what should I do next....


Caught you! Little sneaky boy! He races for the stairs if the pillows aren't blocking the way. I always know as soon as it gets quiet... he's either headed for or crawling up the stairs!

He loves sitting on the edge of the fireplace hearth. He will stand up then sit down, then crawl down, then crawl up and turn around and do it all again. He has the silliest facial expressions while he does it too.

I strongly dislike teething too little bug. Growing teeth is hard to do!

Well that's my official 10 month update. He is pretty cute, pretty fun, and absolutely worth the labor of the first 6 months.

The Drawer Pull Experiments

Day 1: Failure
My recent explorations into the kitchen have been met with many new discoveries. Namely the dishwasher, the fridge, and the drawers.
Oh the world of the drawers alludes me.
Upon first discovery I was thrilled to find a cavern filled with boxes and bags, but suddenly the cavern disappeared. I must investigate further.

Day 2: Painful Failure
I was able to find my way back to the mysterious bottom drawer today. I slowly pulled it open and peered inside. But suddenly the force of my weight slammed the thing shut again! And with it went my fingers... ouch.

Day 3: Again with the fingers.
I must discover a way to obtain those bags without the painful experience of shutting my fingers in the drawer.

Day 4: Painful SUCCESS!
I have unlocked the mysteries of the bottom drawer. The secret is to extract the drawer fully before attempting to climb upon it.
At last those ziplock bags were mine! I extracted one bag and carefully examined it. A curious slippery, yet somehow sticky discovery. Suddenly, as if being pushed by some unexplainable force, the drawer began to close! Try as I might to keep it open, we both eventually succumbed to the force, and once again my fingers became lodged. Though less painful than the sudden slamming I experienced before, I was still unhappy.

Day 5: Success
Today I approached the bottom drawer with much excitement. I remembered my past experience and I would not be met with failure today! After fully extracting the drawer again, I mounted it with much ease. However that same pushing force began to close off my awaiting discoveries. Suddenly, a motherly hand appeared to turn a box sideways. Ah ha! The box arrested the drawer's closing movements and at last the drawer was mine to fully explore. I quickly began extracting bags from the sideways ziplock box and soon was surrounded in glorious plastic. Sadly the motherly force returned to end my plastic extracting fun, but we will meet again!
Next, I will explore the other end of the kitchen and with it... the Puppy Drawer!
