Pictures Please

Packing for an 11 day trip for a mom and a little man- isn't the easiest. When it came down to the last minute of what to choose- my camera didn't make the cut. Love my camera- but it is large and had to stay home with Daddy and Bailey. I took tons of pictures on my phone- but still missed some major moments(and the quality isn't so great). So here are some pictures I am hoping to get:

-Pictures of B at Caroline B's costume party

- Benjamin and Bradford in matching PJ's

-Caroline A and Bradford bathing together

- Holding baby Sam

-Holding baby Garrison

-Holding baby Henry

-pictures from the night of my bible study get together

-Pictures of B playing at my parents

I know many of you are very busy- so I will be patient. But Big B wants to see what we did and I need the sweet memories! Glad to be back!

No complaints

The Bradfords are still under the weather. Big B has a sinus infection and Little B has double ear infection. We have been laying low but enjoying our down time. Little B and I go on a walk almost every afternoon to visit the horsies at the park that are about a mile and a half from our house. In the evening we swing with Daddy when he gets home or comes downstairs from work. We went to the beach for a quick get away Sunday afternoon. The weather is amazing here. I hear it only gets better!

Started wearing shoes!

He doesn't seem to mind them- one friend mentioned her child refuses to wear shoes so I got scared since he hadn't really worn any!

Swinging- see video below of how much he loves it!

First time to play in the ocean!

Say a prayer for Bradford's ears as we get on a airplane on Wednesday.

Hanging in there!

Well, we have had our official first cold. NO FUN. I got it too and I am sad to say that I think Daddy woke up with it this morning. Which is so sad since he has taken good care of us all weekend and now he has to work! I think Buddy and I are on the up swing though. I know he is still sick though because he is taking these killer 2 hour naps- twice a day and then a cat nap before dinner. I feel like I have a 3 month old again! While he slept yesterday I cleaned the house head to toe. Hoping that will help us recover faster! I go to BSF on Wednesday and don't want to take a runny nose kid to meet his new friends! Also, Bailey girl is under the weather. She gashed her paw swimming in the bay on Saturday. Daddy is taking her to the vet this afternoon as it started bleeding again today. Also, our air is broken upstairs- the guys is here working on it- so hopefully our home warranty will cover that. Oh and we just filed our first insurance claim- we have mold in the shower of our master.....apparently there is moisture in the wall.....praying that insurance will cover that! Ah- home owning! The money pit!

Last week(before we got our cold) we went swimming at Noah's! They are members of club in their neighborhood and we had the pool all to ourselves!

Also, Big boy took a fall and got a semi black eye! This was right after- forgot to get a picture of his bruise- he had no clue his face looked like this!

Emily's baby, Leighton came to visit! She was in town visiting her parents in Clearwater and drove over for the day to see us! It meant a lot that they visited us! I hope Leighton didn't get B's cold though- I am scared to ask.

During the Auburn game- he could have cared less that the tv was on!

Poor Bailey...

We are excited about our new chairs getting in! We have been enjoying all of the free space in our living room!

I thought this was hilarious! It looks funny with a big room and tiny chairs!

My favorite place below- that lantern thing is Therma Cell- it is supposed to keep the mosquitos far away- so far I have gotten 9 bug bites- doesn't work for me. But I keep going out there as the weather is GLORIOUS!

After spending the entire weekend in doors- we decided we had to get out of the house. We went to a Mexican Restaurant for dinner last night and Bud was entertained the entire time! He loved the guy singing and playing the guitar.

Newest Trick: Standing up!

He won't stay still!

I am way behind on this post but I did take the picture near the 8 month mark!

8 months has been a blast! He is all over the place with speed crawling and pulling up on everything. He will just stop and pull up on the wall sometimes. His favorite thing to pull up on is the back door and his rocking chair. Hours of entertainment for him. He loves to talk and squeal. He def. knows my name now which can be good and bad. He says it with a whiny voice....unlike his happy sound with "dada." His personality is starting to come out too- very mischievous- can't decide who he gets that from.
