And so this is Christmas

A picture speaks a thousand words.

The Car Seat Song

Wanted to record this before I forget it. It's poor quality (both in recording and singing). But let's face it, this blog is about trying to record memories -- so here's one of them. I started singing this song to Timothy from the very beginning because he hated his car seat. It seemed to help a bit and provide some familiarity. He does much better in his car seat now because he is no longer in an infant car seat. Nevertheless, I think he still enjoys the song. (I'll work on the video of the other song.)

Should have removed the paci so you can see his smile better

Halloween

Timothy really enjoyed his first Halloween.  He got to finger paint his pumpkin and then do a little trick or treating (thanks for the m&ms Aunt Evan).  He looked adorable in his lion costume.

Welcome to Avery Quinn Johnson

Like I said in an earlier post, Timothy is collecting cousins.  Here are some snapshots of our adorable new niece Avery Quinn.  Congrats Brad, Amanda and big sister Maddie.  You can see more photos and read all about her at http://johnsonbundleofjoy.blogspot.com/

Fun with a Balloon

Timothy just loved playing with the balloon that we picked up at the mall this weekend.

Strut Your Stuff

Timothy is walking all over the place now and is quite proud of himself.

Another Bradby on the Way

Watch out world, another Bradby is on the way.  My big brother Tony and his wife Bridget are due to have their first baby on Cinco de Mayo.  We are so excited.  Timothy is collecting cousins left and right.

Congrats Tony & Bridget!!!

Happy 10 Months

We have finally hit double digits.  Not sure where the time has gone, but we've loved every minute of it.  Happy Birthday Timothy. 

First Steps - 10/21/11 - 9.5 months old

Timothy officially took his first steps last night. He actually took several steps on three different occasions but we only caught one on video. To be honest I didn't think he was this close, but earlier this week his daycare teachers said that they thought it would be any day now. I was excited to see these steps, but more excited that they occurred when both mommy and daddy (and Vovo) were present  and not while he was at daycare. Thank you Timothy for thinking of your mommy when achieving your milestones. So without further ado below is the video -- as noted this was his third time taking a few steps and I do think the first two were better, but to be honest I was so surprised to see the first two attempts that I didn't even consider getting out the video camera. Anyway -- we'll see if he now starts to take off or instead opts to wait a while before trying it again:)

The First Steps Video!

In this video he is just standing - but it shows off his excellent balance -- ignore the obnoxious commentary by me

Pictures from 9 Month Well Visit

I took a few photos of our visit and didn't get them up in time to announce the stats but thought I would put them up now. Here's Timothy at the doctor's office. He did an excellent job as always - although with each trip he gets squirmier and squirmier!
