Big News...

We have some family news...Brady is going to be a big brother! We are only 5 weeks along, so we have a looong time to go (end of May to be exact), but we thought we'd share about our addition. I think Brady is going to love being a brother!

We are putting off our house move. It does not make any logical sense to move in the spring with a baby on the way. So...we are moving the bedrooms upstairs and making the downstairs bedrooms into a playroom and an office. This way Brady will not have to share a room either. We are making the study the nursery for the new little one.

Brady is climbing on everything now! He's just like a monkey. He loves pear yogurt and bread. He is doing great with long naps (and Mommy joins him now) and is drinking completely out of sippy cups. Woo Hoo!

We are excited to get his Halloween costume, but we are waiting until it gets closer so we know the weather better. You know how crazy Cincinnati can be!

Still Sick....

Well, our little man is still sick. His fever is not too high, but it keeps coming back. His nose is too runny and now he has a deep cough. So...we had to cancel all of our Labor Day weekend plans. We did not want him to be exposed to any more germs and we did not want him to make any of his cousins sick. Lilli's surgery is two weeks from Tuesday, so we really wanted to make sure we kept him clear of her.

In other fun news, he is sooooo close to taking his first step! He can stand for about 10 seconds or so now and he has faked us out quite a few times. He has become quite the fast little crawler in the mean time. We will post when he is walking!

And he has figured out how to play with some of his more "advanced" toys. It's just so cool to see him learning and remembering how to do things. I love it...

He still loves dogs and goes crazy when he sees one (I wonder where he gets that from). But, Brady and Roxie have been having some hard times. He loves her a little too much. So, Roxie spent the weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's for a little respite. They had Lilli last night too for a campout in their backyard and Roxie spent the night in the tent. She also swallowed a bee. Roxie is not the outdoorsy type, so I'm sure this was an experience for her!

Have a great day!

September is Here...

We are so happy at the Long house that September is finally here! It means football season is here, apples and pumpkins will be coming out, and the perfect weather that is fall is arriving. Though, this summer was nice, I do not have much to complain about :)

Brady's one year photo shoot went incredible. I love so many pictures! They take awhile to load because of the quality, so I'll just be picking out my favorites and updating with those over the next few posts.

Brady had his first fever yesterday. He is doing pretty well, still happy. We are just thankful for a long weekend so that we can stay home and he can rest.

Have a great Labor Day weekend!
