it's really more like 3:00 am...... 

lexi checking on baby brother after he and daddy arrived back home from a wal-mart trip yesterday. she's gotta make sure her brother's doing okay. she loves giving that boy kisses now. she can be a little "jealous butt" sometimes, so we still have to make sure she gets special treatment and time spent with her also. she's a terd and will let us know when she's not getting the attention she deserves.....

another sweet picture of the little rascal 

looking like a big boy in his cute lil overalls

these are some more pictures that i didn't get a chance to post the other day. there he goes again sticking that tongue out. he loves to do what we do. he really wants to make the motor boat sounds like us too, but hasn't been able to master it yet. he just stares, giggles, and makes other noises when we do it. i have to say that he is a pro at making those bubbles from his slobber though. or maybe those are his "spit bubbles." he's a funny little fella.... 

we just got off the phone with my friend staci (who has been in previous post) about an hr ago. she went and got an ultrasound tonight from one of her friend's mothers..... and IT'S another BOY! he was proud to show his mommy and daddy what he had too! staci said there was no denying it. so much for the future girlfriend, but we're very excited for another little boy. brady was exhausted tonight, so he said he would "just sleep on that thought, and dream of playing with his new little buddy."
he's just got all kinds of future friends coming along. he's gonna meet his buddies aiden and austin for the first time next wk/end.........cousin letson, who we are anxiously awaiting, will be here some time around christmas or shortly after........ and now we hear a new little buddy will be arriving in february. what fun it will be!!

even though he hasn't experienced elmo yet, he was excited about his new shirt and enjoyed wearing it............

this botttom picture cracks me up. he's really starting to mimick us now. if we stick our tongue out, he trys doing the same thing. so funny!! 

HIS LATEST PHOTO SHOOT WITH HIS GRANNA TODAY! AS YOU CAN TELL, THEY HAD A GOOD TIME. I THINK BRADY COLE IS SORTA GETTING USE TO THE CAMERA BY NOW. I MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVEN'T EVER TAKEN PICTURES OF THE POOR CHILD OR ANYTHING :) I THOUGHT THESE WERE SOME CUTE ONES TO POST. HE LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE FROG IN THE TOP PICTURE. I LOVE THOSE ROLLS THAT HE IS SHOWING OFF IN THE THIGHS. HE'S A CHUNK.......

and of course more picture time with his mommy! he's just all smiles lately. these pictures were taken tonight right after he got his belly full and about to go night night. i'm not sure if this has ever been in a picture before, but notice the precious quilt as the back drop. his great nana made this for him and we love it. nana worked hard on this for the big man and i'm sure he will appreciate it one day. we love those special gifts....
 

i had to post this precious picture!! it was taken last night at the house and i absolutely love it. he's definitely a happy boy :) 

workin it!

check out my new richard simmons moves...... 

pot belly piglet

 

hmmmm...contemplations!!! "do i dirty my britches for mommy, or do i wait til mommy leaves, so daddy can have the joy of it?" 

this is the little fella after some play time on his hippo gym in his big boy bed!! at least the bed is used for something....... a little play time here and there, and every once in a while he'll catch him a cat nap. notice the passy on his chin. believe me, he would be letting us know if he realized that is was out of his mouth and that he wasn't being held. we would definitely be hearing how well the set of lungs on that boy could work. this poot pot was zonked!
and a pose for mommy....

CHECK OUT THE CHINS..
CATCHING SOME ZZZ'S IN HIS FLOAT 

more smiles from the big man

 

first trip to hooter's

these are pictures from friday night when we went to eat with our friends matt and stephanie kroll and their two precious little twin girls matalyne and morgan. and yes, we're at HOOTERS!!!! it was brady cole's official first trip there and i'm sure it's not gonna be his last. the first picture is miss matalyne posing in her high chair, the second is of stephanie and morgan with her burp cloth on her head, the third of mommy and brady cole, and then there's daddy and terd knocker again along with our waitress. we had a fun time and of course the buffalo shrimp was dang good!!

my buddy and me

what a happy baby i found today when i got in from work. we played and had some photo sessions as you can see. is he growing like a weed or what? i love these pictures and especially the last one. it shows one of his dimples that i can't ever get a picture of. man, ya gotta hate the delays on the digital cameras, it starts to get annoying after a while....ya know? babies really don't actually stop and pose. brady's personality is really starting to come out and it is so much fun. he really cracks me up when he discovers something. his new thing now is his hands. he thinks that half of his fist should be in his mouth at all times and he has been such a slobber box lately...i think he should have a couple more months before the teefies start coming in, so i'm not sure of all the drooling..but it's okay!!! this little boy is definitely gonna keep us busy for many years to come. what a joy he is.......

WHAT A BIG BOY

ENJOYING HIS "BEBE" SEAT, OR AT LEAST I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED. BRADY'S AUNT SHELLY BOUGHT THIS FOR HIM...REALLY NEAT HUH? IT DEFINITELY HELPS THE LITTLE TERD KNOCKER WITH HIS STRENGTH, CONSIDERING HE ABSOLUTELY HATES BEING ON HIS TUMMY. HE'S DOING GOOD ON GETTING RID OF THE "BOBBLE HEAD" THOUGH. HE'S ACTUALLY GOT CONTROL NOW. NO MORE BOUNCING BRAINS!!

ONE "HIP" DOGGIE AND A SPOILED LITTLE BOY

lexi showing off her new collar and charm/tag that her mommy bought her last weekend at old navy...even though you can't see the collar, it's really cute.....she still has to get surprises too....we wouldn't want her to get those feelings hurt

sleepy sister, with a bit of a bed head
