Long time, no update!

Time seems to fly by lately! Brady has learned a few new tricks. He points or waves to something he wants (like light switches so he can turn them off, or the coffeemaker, or anything that catches his eye) and then makes the more sign and leans waaaaay over so we can't mistake what he wants. Also, he can tell you how a fish goes when you ask. He pops his lips open and closed, and then smiles really big. Sometimes he also claps for himself afterward.

He is also throwing fits. Somehow I thought that kind of thing would be a long way off, but no...

We went to the fancy photographer on Friday to get his 9 month pictures done. They did a good job, and we spent WAY more money than we had ever intended on pictures. But they offered this DVD slideshow that would have all the pictures they've taken so far on it, and we had to get it.

While we were there, they had Brady sit in this little kid-sized chair for some of them. He didn't really want to sit still for us, so he tried to get out of this chair and fell right on his face. Three times. But the fourth time, he devised a way to get out of the chair by inching his behind close to the edge, and then turning and climbing out. He was so pleased with his new skill that that was all he wanted to do. Climb up, sit down, scootch forward, climb down. Climb up, sit down scootch forward, climb down. Over and over. (www.solasgallery.com is their site, if you want to see the type of pictures they take)

We won't get the pictures back until early May, but I'll try to post them on here when we do. Here's one I took the other day:

It's not fancy, but it'll do!
