11 months

Bradley!!! You are 11 months old! How could this possibly be! One more picture like this and we have completed a year!! I can hardly believe it. You have started to become more attached to Mommy lately. It makes for some hard days (and nights), but we know this too shall pass. I am trying to enjoy all the extra cuddles- it's just hard sometimes when we have had little to no sleep!

You are on whole milk now! I stopped nursing you right before you turned 11 months (with the permission from your dr) and started whole milk. You LOVE it. Loving it is an understatement. And, you actually sleep through the night now. (almost every night) We were told it may help with your eczema. Haven't noticed a difference yet- but we will see. We went to an allergist- you are not allergic to anything. That's good news! Next appointment is with a dermatologist. Hoping they can give you something to give your little legs and feet relief. It is pitiful and breaks this Mommy's heart in the middle of the night when it bothers you.

You eat anything now. You have FOUR teeth! Working on a 5th one as I type. You walk everywhere. You prefer to walk, but will still crawl some. You have just mastered how to stand from sitting.

You can say: mommy, mama, da da, ball, hat, baby, bye bye, hey, uh-oh, milk and sometimes you can say dog.

You usually just nap one time a day, sometimes two. (but that is rare)

September

Boxes are so fun!

We started September on a rough start. Bradley has had eczema since he was 3 months old. It has progressively gotten worse. After several creams from the dr and rounds of antibiotics- we ended up at an allergist. He had to have the prick test done to see if he was allergic to anything. It came back all negative. Meaning, Zyrtec was either still in his system or his histamines aren't fully developed yet. So, they took his blood. It was pitiful! They had to draw 4 tubes of blood- the nurse was awesome and Bradley was a trooper. We should find out by the 16th if it came back with an allergy. If not, to the dermatologist we go.

Wearing an apron that my Meme cross stitched. This is so special. My sister and I wore this as children.

Her first lunch for her first day!

All ready for MDO!

She didn't even look back when she waved bye to me on the first day. When I picked her up, she was more than excited to see me. She loves MDO and has the best time.

Cuddles after her nap that day!

My little loves

She insisted on wearing her "new white shoes with a dress" on her second day of MDO.

Now that Bradley is walking almost all the time, he loves going to the park!

We decided last minute to go to Auburn on a friday night and stay in the RV. It was worth it, but we won't  be doing that again for a long time! 

Ready for some football!

Happy birthday Papa!

He loves this cabinet. 

This hair is the result of poppyseed chicken for dinner.

Some of the best friends a girl could ask for. Don't know what I would do without them. (& their babies!)

Sis likes to help pull Bradley now

Sweet clean baby

If there was one thing he would do all day everyday, it would be the tricycle. 

He started on whole milk on 9/16 and he loves it.

First haircut!! (9/17)

Loves his milk

Every morning he wants ritz crackers and his milk. 

First peanut butter and jelly...he LOVED it.

Messy.

Enjoying this fall like weather

He has now figured out how to get in the red car by himself and he couldn't be more proud!

Some days are so hard, but I am so thankful and so blessed to call them mine.

We closed on our very first house and are thrilled to bed done with it! :)

All ready for picture day at MDO!

Playing with our shadows on our walk 

We had quite the rough day, so after nap- we went to Sonic and the park! Made for a MUCH better afternoon and attitude for all of us. I think we just needed some fresh air!

So much fun!
