2 Years!

Riding his new bike

A few weeks ago Brady had a birthday! I can't believe my sweet little baby boy is 2 years old! Cody was on days off so I took the day off too so we could spend the day with him. With moving so fast, he kind of got the shaft for a couple weeks so a day just for him was needed. We spent the day out at the park and had lots of treats and ice cream. He got a new strider bike and a new hat from us that he absolutely loves! He was so excited when he woke up and saw his bike in the living room and instantly went to it and started riding it. He is getting better at sitting while he pushes himself. He also got a few little things from his grandparents including a train set from his Grandma Struyk and the movie Cars from his Grandma and Grandpa Scott. It's about the only thing he ever wants to watch now, all day, everyday.

Brady is such a sweetheart. His personality is really starting to show and he is such a goofball but loves hugs and kisses. Brady loves anything to do with cars, trucks, buses and trains. He has a pretty big collection of hot wheels cars already, thanks to his dad, and he will sit and drive them around and play with them for hours on end. Whenever we are in the car driving he has to tell me all the trucks he sees and cars and buses.

Brady loves to be outside. He spends many hours at his Dayhome in the back yard, which I am grateful for, because we don't have a yard. Brady only has a couple weeks left at his dayhome. His provider Emma has been so amazing with him. We were hoping to keep him in a little longer at least until after the baby was born but she has decided to move back to her home country in Ethiopia and will be done work at the end of July. We are very sad to see her go and will miss her and her family greatly. They have been so helpful with Brady and even helped to watch him on the weekend while we were moving and made us dinner to help as well. She is so good with all the kids and they have so much fun playing at her house and in her yard. He is going to miss her a lot. She has really made going back to work for this past year a lot easier for me and I am forever grateful.

I could say many things about Brady but the list would go on and on. He is the most amazing little boy anyone could have ever asked for and I love him so much sometimes I wonder how I will have enough love left over for this next baby. I can't wait to see him be a big brother and know that he will be such a good helper and love the baby just as much as Cody and I. He melts my heart everyday. And while I really don't want him to keep getting older, I get so excited and proud each day as he continually learns new things and grows. I love you Brady!
