Sickness

I had a baby Dr appt at the beginning of Oct and she recommended us all coming in for our flu shots the next week, but unfortunately we never made it in because you're not supposed to get flu shots when you're sick. Mr B got sick first, he had a little fever for a couple days, seemed to really feel crummy for about a day, and then mostly just had a stuffy nose for about a week - hence the poor red nose in this picture :( Then we seemed to both get it. Kevin had been coughing for weeks, it would kind of come and go but he didn't feel bad, but then it got worse. He got a really bad head cold - and of course I got it a day later. I hate feeling sick in the first place, but I really really hate being sick when (1)I'm pregnant and can't take any medicine to make me feel better, (2)when Bradley is still getting over a cold as well and needs some extra attention, AND (3)Kevin is sick too so we can't even take care of each other or pick up the slack so the other one can rest. It was a little difficult. Worst of all - it didn't go away! We felt crummy for over a week and a half and once we realized it wasn't going away on it's own - we made a dual dr appt :) I got checked out first and it turns out I had a bad Sinus Infection and then it was Kevin's turn and he had Bronchitis. After antibiotics for both of us, we were finally all healthy - for about 1 day - more on that later! :(

Ooo... Wii...

After what seems like forever talking about getting a Wii, Tammy and Craig bought us one to thank us for the washer and dryer we gave them. We love it, but I almost think Bradley loves it the most :) He is fantasized (Kevin's word for fascinated) by it :)This is him looking up at the TV in awe - I love the way he holds his hands behind his back like that - just adorable!This was the beginning of October when we got it, and now about a month later he is SO good, he loves to play the baseball (of course), and he loves to watch us bowl. Recently our remote died and we haven't gotten a charger yet, so we had to hide the remote because he kept bringing it to us saying "bowl" and would get pretty darn upset when we'd try to explain the dead batteries. I'll have to post a video later of him playing, he sure is a fast learner :)And of course the box it came in was a lot of fun too!

Up to Bat

Bradley is quite the baseball player. One of his favorite things to do is get his ball and bat and have you pitch to him. His technique has changed quite a bit over the past couple of months. First he started out with this stance - hip out, lean to the side.Then he started spreading his legs out further and further, and added practice swings and tapping the plate (floor) before getting ready - which he got from watching Daddy play!Then he added running the bases, and he even slides into home plate at the end :) The other day Kevin put on the end of a game in the morning, then changed it to cartoons for Bradley and he got very upset and wanted his baseball game back - he sure loves his baseball :)

Random...

Just thought I'd throw these in because I like them :) that's all... :)

Park

We met the Gilmartins over at the park for some fun. It was a beautiful day. I have been craving some good fall weather, I am done with summer. Fall is my favorite season and I hate when it gets skipped, so many years we seem to go straight from 70 degree weather to snow - no happy medium, no nice 40 and 50 degree days... Kevin thinks I'm crazy, I get to hear him cry about the days getting shorter and the sun getting scarcer everyday :) But I will admit one thing... it's harder to go to the park when it's not nice days like this one...

A boy and his cat...

We'll all be in the tv room and Bradley will walk away and go in the living room, a couple minutes later after it's really quiet in there we go and check out what he's doing - 9 times out of 10 he is laying on the couch next to Angel, cuddling :) It's so cute, he is so so sweet with her, he loves her so much and she loves him right back.
And he loves when Angel lays on him - now sometimes when she walks up to him, he'll hurry and lay down on his back and pat his tummy :)

Rockies Game

It was a cold, cold night :) Good thing Mammy watched Mr B at home because there's no way I would have drug him there in that weather, it was definitely chilly - but still a great time, great game! It was the first time that we had hot chocolate instead of lemonade at a Rockies game :) (By the way, this was towards the end of September - so I'm finally getting closer to present time :) )
