Brady just keeps on going. He doesn't walk on his own yet, but just started taking shaky steps holding on with only one hand. He loves to pull himself up between my legs and walk just holding on to my legs. He has gotten pretty good with it so I can manage to make dinner entertaining him that way without having to hold him. We went to go visit Santa with a free photo at BassPro Shop, he didn't cry, but didn't smile either. We went to the mall to play in the kids play place with a friend and he LOVED it! I forgot my camera :( His favorite thing was climbing inside a log. He would just chat/yell to himself and crawl around in it. The bigger kids would start to go in then see him, talk to him and wave, then leave. He was the king of that log for a good 15min. Brady still loves to smile at everyone when we go anywhere, but if he is tired he will smile, but if you act like you are going to take him from me he freaks out! Only when he is tired though... we are still working on his sleeping. Oh, he also started to read books. Before he would just pull them all off the bookshelf then crawl away. Now, he will go in there and I hear him just talking, and he is looking through a book. Sometimes he has a hard time opening them so he starts yelling at it to open up... but it doesn't work. We love our little boy!
Things are going good on the Merrill side. Will says work is still work, and he hasn't frozen yet from him 10min walk each morning in below freezing temps so he can get free parking. It's snowed a couple of times, so we got the joy of shoveling our driveway once... It's flurrying now, which is my favorite! Other then being cold, we are enjoying life!
