Introducing...

The Thomas Arm!



First impression went something like "GET THIS THING OFF ME NOW!"


After a few minutes it went something like "Oh yeah, there's Thomas. Maybe this is ok."


By the time we had left the clinic he had forgotten it was different and things have been pretty smooth ever since. This arm will give him the ability to grab things and hold on to them. We can also position the elbow.

18 Months



I am a little late with this post, but Brady has been doing some of the cutest things lately I had to write them down somewhere. He recently has formed a very strong attachment to Daddy. He gives him a hug and kiss every morning before he leaves for work. I leave and he barely gives me a second look. I need to get out more....

We are now up to 7 words-Go, Beep, Mom, Dada, Car, Jeep, and Cheese. He points at everything and asks "dah?".

During the moving process we discovered Troy's matchbox car collection. He plays with them all day. Lining them up, carrying them around in a bucket, driving them around the floor. He recently has started insisting that he brings one to bed with him.



He climbs on everything. We have had to take baby proofing to a new level by making sure the computer keys are locked, and the phones are out of reach.

He blows kisses and loves to dance. He loves Dora and Handy Manny. He recently started doing puzzles. We cheer for him after each successful piece. He sometimes get so excited about doing it he cheers for himself. He pats his tummy with his hand to clap.

We are still working on house plans, but are buying a lot soon. We visited our new neighborhood and saw a deer walking through our soon to be backyard. Very cool!
