Birthday Parties

Bradley went to 2 different birthday parties at the beginning of March. The first one was for our friend's twin girls that were born last year on Leap Day. It was the girliest party you can imagine! All the little girls were dressed in little tu-tu's and everything was pink - and for a long time Bradley was the only boy - he sure stuck out like a sore thumb but he sure looked cute, surrounded by all those girls :) I think his favorite part was this party favor he got - it's a bath toy - I mean chew toy :)

Second was baby Addison's party (Kevin's step-brother's daughter). There weren't too many kids there, just a couple. One little boy was there and did not want anyone sitting on his cow (but of course didn't want to sit on it himself) so it caused quite a commotion when all the little kids took turns riding for a little bit - Bradley loved it!

Backing down

Mr Bradley has learned how to back down stairs and off of couches and other things - he's very good at it and was very proud of himself when he learned how :) It's cute because no matter how far he is away from the stairs - if we open that gate and say "Let's go downstairs" he will automatically get on the ground, turn around and start backing up - even if he's 10 feet away from the stairs :) it's SO cute!

Now - the OTHER kind of backing down - like in conversations involving the word "no" - not so good at backing down - kind of stubborn - like his Daddy :)

Visit from the Witters!

Erin and her family came into town on Valentine's Day and we had the pleasure of having them over for 1 night. It was a short stay, unfortunately, but we had so much fun with the time we had. Her little boy Joe Joe is about a week younger than Bradley - so they had a lot of fun together! It was so cute seeing them interact.And her daughter Sadie is just adorable! Erin is quite the photographer and was so nice and took a bunch of pictures of Bradley - here are some of my favorites! Thanks Erin - I LOVE them!!

Walking timeline

Bradley has been learning so many new things lately I have to try to catch everyone up. So he took his first offical step on 1/30 but then wouldn't do it again and was still crawling and cruising along furniture. Then on 2/10 he was standing and dancing on his own, and took several steps together towards Tammy ( I didn't get the steps on camera) -

Then took more on 2/11 (and was very vocal about it) -

Starting 2/15 he was officially walking more than crawling and getting more and more sturdy every day :) It's SO cute! I love it, a lot of times he'll shrug his shoulders or wave them if he's excited.

Cause and Effect

Mr B now knows how to work the DVD player :) He sure LOVES his Baby Einstein videos. The funny thing is, he does NOT like the Disney add at the beginning - he gets SO scared of it - we have to fast forward thru that part - but as soon as that little worm comes on the screen - he claps and gets so excited! I have shortened this video because this went on for a very very long time :) it kept him quite entertained!

Learning...

We were trying very hard to teach Mr B that he can't just throw his cup anywhere and everywhere when he's done drinking. So - we finally got to this point - and we're very excited!

It's so funny because it got to the point where he'd barely touch it and expect a huge applause!Sorry for my loud annoying voice :) - but he sure liked it!

Hangin' with Mr Connor

They are so cute together - don't they look so grown up? Mr Bradley was being so nice trying to feed Connor his dinner, and Connor was being very patient with him :) They are going to have SO much fun together for years and years to come!
