Little Fins

We attended our 1st Little Fins gathering over the weekend. Little Fins is a support group for families with children dealing with limb differences. The apple orchard stayed open late exclusively for us and provided lots of activities. Brady was too young to participate in getting eggs from the chicken coop or feeding the baby goats, but he loved looking at the animals and the hay ride. We had a blast and are already looking forward to the winter gathering!

8 Months

Since getting his prosthetic he has become much more aware of his short arm.

He loves sitting outside waiting for Daddy to come home. His favorite thing to do while out there is holding the dog leash.

My Daddy

Da Da Da

Brady started saying Da Da yesterday and hasn't stopped since.

Photos

Brady and I went to the park today in hopes of getting some great 7-8 month pictures. We've been busy lately and the pictures I have taken were nothing I wanted to put in a frame. The bright sun required a hat so my disappointment started with the shadows being casted on his face. Combine that with a child distracted by grass and I got no smiles. The shots of him in the swing weren't much better....this is the best one I got and it doesn't even show his face. BUT, once we got home he did this and I was a happy mom.

In other news, we started two ECFE classes this week (infant playtime and creepers & crawlers). He seems to be enjoying them much more this time around. He is interacting with the other babies and loves song time. Between that and Grandma babysitting every Tuesday our week is filling up fast.

Football & Jesse James

Brady watched his first Vikings game this weekend and like most dudes loved every minute.


Brady had another first this weekend-Jesse James Days. I didn't really get any pictures of the festivities, but here he is enjoying a cookie in his stroller. He met lots of new family, got held by Grandma & Grandpa, and stayed awake long enough to watch the frisbee game.
