March 2012 recap

At the ripe old age of 16.5 months I decided I probably should have given Brad a spoon to try already.  So one day I gave him applesauce and a spoon, and lo and behold he had no trouble figuring out what to do! Guess he was ready :)

Driving race cars

Tball practice!

Guess he is ready for a haircut, Mommy was the saddest.

Cute pictures of Luke :)

Brad sitting like a big boy

His team, the Braves

 



How I tried to get Brad to watch Luke's games.  He never lasted long in the stroller, now that he is a walking boy.

Elliott up to bat!

My mom used to mail us cookies when we lived in Atlanta.  Brad was a HUGE fan!

Brad playing on the train table at B&N.  He loves it and gets really mad when its time to go.  Luke and Brad got a train table for Christmas last week :)

 

Luke showing Brad some pictures from our trip to California.

 

 

Luke's tball team the morning of the baseball parade!  Cute group of kids.

Brad watching the parade!

 

 St. Jude trike-a-thon at Luke's school.  He raised over $200!

 

Classic video (in our house anyway) of Luke riding his trike, clips his friend, and leaves him in his dust.  We did talk about making sure our friends were ok and watching where we are going.

Luke and his best school buddy Tyler

More tball!

Luke and Brad playing at the park in our neighborhood.  I do miss having that park so close!

Mommy and her boys on a lunch date after a fun morning at the zoo with friends!

Luke and buddies Caden and Christian at Ade's (Caden's sister) birthday party.

 

 

Fun to look back at these! We had a great month.  We knew by then that we would be moving to Florida that summer and we were soaking up the time with friends and new experiences for the boys.



February 2012

February 2012 recap!

Luke played t-ball for Sandy Springs Little League. His team was the Braves.
He had a blast learning the game.

On the way home from the first day of practice/try-outs!

Luke as Buzz Lightyear! He got this as a reward for something...I can't remember what now but he was allowed to pick something out at the Disney Store and this is what he chose.

2/6/12 Brad push-toy walking

We had a trip to FL in February, I think Josh may have been interviewing for jobs at the time.  We took a trip to Lakeland and the boys played on a nice playground there.

We visited Papa in his classroom.  Brad, helping students learn math.

Luke, sitting at Papa's desk.

Luke lounging with the pugs at my parent's pool.

2/18/2012 Josh throwing Brad up in the air, Luke trying to pose for a picture :)

We went to a fun birthday party in Atlanta for our friends' Danny and Regina's son Preston.  Brad was walking around with Daddy on the big sports field.

Big smiles Brad (Nana's cookies make him smile)!

Does Brad like donuts?

Brad's FIRST STEPS (caught on camera) at PT 2/22/12 (they discharged Brad pretty much after this appointment!)

Brothers, making each other smile!

Finished video loading!

Alright! I finally got the four January videos loaded (see the two earlier posts). My apologies for the two with words through them and turned sideways.  Now I know to take several short videos instead of long ones if I am using my iphone.  Luckily I still had the mac n cheese video on my iphone and could trim that one up to be short enough to post.  Thanks for checking back!

videos, tried something new

I spent two hours tonight trying to figure out why my videos from my iphone won't load on blogger.  I've managed to figure out that the files are too big. So I searched for a way to either edit them to make them smaller or save them a different way to make them smaller.  The result of this search is not optimal, but it does allow me to post them here which was the whole point of this.  Please refer back to the first January '12 post and scroll down, the video of Brad doing his core exercises was added.  Editing/converting it flipped it on its side and added those lovely words across the screen, but try to ignore that :)  I'll work on converting the other 2 missing videos later, it is late and I am tired!

Jan 12 videos

 

I couldn't get videos to post in the previous January 12 post.  There were four total I wanted to share.  I seem to be having better luck with this new post :)

 

This video was taken just a couple of days before Brad took his very first steps

 

Hilarious (to us anyway) video of Brad eating mac n cheese but hating broccoli!

 

Jan 12

Recapping January 2012 :) Hey, I've moved into this year!

Cute video of Brad and his new found cruising skills. And Luke first whining, then entertaining :)

 

Brad loves donuts!

So does big brother

Brad in his "little old man" outfit

I think I've mentioned before, Brad really loves beans.

 

Trying to ride this little toy with some new found motor skills

1/21/12, this video may look boring, but it is a good example of the kind of exercises that are good for Brad's developing core strength at this point in time :)

Brad's hair before his first hair cut, I loved those curls, but Daddy thought the mullet look was not too cool.

Happy boy

Brothers! Sometimes they play nice...

Brad works out!
