10 Month Update



The last couple months have been pretty exciting and exhausting. We travelled home for Uncle Steve's wedding and had lots of fun. Brady had a hard time with the trip this time and when we got home he was sick with what I think was Roseola for a week at the same time that he was teething! It was a rough week. But now he is all better and back to his very active crazy self! Here are some things about Brady at 10 months!


  • Is crawling everywhere...and fast! 
  • Likes to climb up and on everything
  • Pulls himself up on whatever is available so he can stand, the coffee table, couch, the wall, baby gate, you name it he can use it to get up.
  • Can climb the stairs. I always have to be close by though to catch him when he decides he is done and just lets go and falls back! We still have to work on getting back down
  • Finally has one little tooth poking through! And has been much happier since! 
  • Loves grilled cheese sandwiches, raspberries, grapes, cheerios and breadsticks (especially garlic)
  • Doesn't really like spaghetti but will eat some macaroni and cheese
  • Is a huge momma's boy
  • HATES sleeping. We are currently pursuing sleep training because he doesn't know how to sleep without nursing (and also because I can't reach his mattress anymore since I had to move it down so he doesn't climb out! #shortgirlproblems)
  • Loves to be outside and go for walks, and does like the swings but we haven't put him in them since being at home because there is still too much snow!
  • Thinks the dog and cat are the funniest things ever
  • Likes to play in laundry baskets and rubbermaids
  • Loves swimming
  • Is afraid of the vacuum and bolts the other way crying anytime I turn it on. He's not a fan of anything that makes loud noise, my hair dryer included.
  • Always tries to kiss all the other kids and me but still refuses to kiss his dad! (must be the scratchy whiskers!)
  • Likes watching tv and looking at books 
  • Loves playing with remotes, phones, the ipad, and pulling on every cord, basically everything he is not supposed to play with
  • Has learned to scream when he wants something, not a trait I hope will carry on too much longer
  • Keeps me super busy all day running after him and carrying him away from the same things over and over again
I could probably go on and on! I sure love my little Brady boy!

One of his favourite toys is his music table

Getting so big!

With Uncle Steve at his wedding! Congrats again to you and Payton!
