Busy Baby Boy!

Busy baby boy Bradley. This poor child, imagine having a literature major for a parent. He stood no chance. So many alliteration opportunities with a child named Bradley!

Bradley and Mommy Together!

Look at this beefy guy. Sleeveless outfits show off his arm rolls.

I love Mr. Tubbs!

Bradley and Auntie Laura!

This little guy has been quite busy, he had a great time meeting his Auntie Laura last week. She has an awesome job that had her fly out to Seattle for a one day training session and it also turned out to be the perfect opportunity for us to get to spend a little time with her before she had to fly back to Boston.

Hi Auntie!!!

Superman

He also posed as Superman changing out of his Clark Kent outfit ... it was Nathan's idea. I picked out the superman outfit, it was my first clothing purchase for Bradley!

I'm a super hero?

 It's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... SUPERMAN!

Hurray!

Who is this Lois Lane lady I've heard so much about?

Daddy took all of the pictures of Bradley by his little suit outfit. Bradley was so happy during this photo session, Daddy might get roped into photographer duty more often!

Cool Overall Carhartts

My parents came to visit on Sunday and poor Bradley was subjected to another photo session in an outfit I was afraid he'd outgrow sooner rather than later. Carhartt overalls! Doesn't get much cuter than this.

Bradley actually loves to be lifted up into the air like this, despite the expression on his face in this picture.

And here is my father with an 8 day old Bradley. Why include such an old photo? Because my father sent me this photo after Easter and then asked multiple times why it hadn't been posted to the blog yet. Silly Grandpa. I actually really like this photo of the two of you, so here it is, Grandpa! You win! ;)

Wedding Anniversary

Nathan and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary on Monday, May 7th. We went out to Panera the night before and had a lovely time. 

Proof that we left the house for a meal

Wearing earrings! Out of the house AND super fancy attire.

Not impressed by our accomplishments

We had a lovely time for our anniversary. On the actual day of our anniversary we had a sexy piroshki dinner (same as our wedding day!) and ate some of the red velvet wedding cake (also like our wedding day!). Then I called it an early night and Nathan took the evening shift with the baby (this was rather unlike our wedding day). Still, it was a very fun evening and I can't believe it's been a whole year already!

Other Important Bradley Updates

1. He has awesome camo sunglasses now. Look, he matches Daddy's hat!

Bradley seems to be not too fond of his fashionable sunglasses

But he mellowed out when we got outside. Now he's cool like Daddy!

2. We took a trip up to Stanwood/Camano to visit Bradley's grandparents and to see my friend Sarah. Bradley was a champ as embarked on our longest day out of the house yet. He had a great time doing giant spit-ups on his Grandpa, being a celebrity at Camano Chapel and Stanwood High School while his proud grandparents showed him off to everyone, and making friends with Sarah's adorable little boy Calvin. Next time I'll have to take a picture of the two boys together, Calvin is a little over one and a half and would be very happy to be Bradley's buddy!

Trying to wake up from a nap

3. Also, in the continued saga of the noisiest sleeper ever, we've now moved the baby monitor across the room from us and still have it set on the lowest volume so I can get some sleep at night. It's not as though I have super baby hearing, it's just the constant grunts and half cries as he wakes up can also wake up his mommy. The other night he started snorting and grunting at 3am but he didn't actually start crying for food until 4am. Bad Bradley. 

So we're figuring things out and just having a ball with our cute little boy. Next week, either training him to stop pulling mommy's hair at every opportunity or a visit to a hairdresser to get a mom bob. Wish me luck ...
