MIA... EKKKK!

I am surprised it's been so long since I posted.. I've been MIA for about a month or so..
Lots of things have been happening as always at the Brady household.. I've got a few pictures to show you what we've been up to.


My mom needed boxes to pack up stuff .. Jamie's checking out the boxes! LOL



Jamie now loves to play with the vaccumn hose.. what a kid!


I'm not quite sure why he would want to put it on his mouth.. oh well.



He's probably thinking something like.. 'Wow.. look what I built!"
These 'blocks' or Nesting blocks..have become one of his favorite toys.
He'll even carry his blocks down to the car to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house :D


What's with the tongue..?? Hmm.. He's been doing this lately...


Trying on Dad's Valero flip-flops. What's funny is I actually let him take a walk outside in them once. :D
I think he'd say if he could talk would be 'Outside, now mommy?' or something.

Lots of Things happening

Things are pretty busy as always. This weekend was not any different, but let me back up.
Jamie's occupational therapist suggested he play with shaving cream to let him feel the texture..and get the 'sensory imput' that he needs. I had sprayed it on his body before, but thought it would be fun to write on the bathtub wall too.. Here is what it looked like when we were done!



I took another picture of it.. te he he



This past Saturday, the 12th was my birthday.. We dropped Jamie off at Grandma's and went to the Library..and went mini golfing. We also had to go get Trey a haircut..so we did that..then went bowling. We ate dinner there.. but had dinner early..lol.
We then went to my mom's house, stayed a little bit, and picked our son up.
Happy Birthday To ME!!! Yay!

Here are some pictures of Jamie and I ..Just relaxing on the couch..Ugh..My hair doesn't look too good..:-P..

Happy Birthday America!

July 4th Our Nation's Birthday!

Trey had the day off.. and our ward had a 4th of July breakfast at our Stake President's house. On our way there, Jamie fussed a little bit. We think it's because either the way we drove was unfamiliar to him, or because he recognized it's not something he does normally at that time in the morning :) . We think it was a little bit of both.

So we go to the breakfast, and boy was it good! They had sausage, eggs, and pancakes. Yum! Jamie just was running all over the place, consistantly pointing to the pool, and the outdoor seperate jacuzzi. He wanted to go in lol, but we wouldn't let him.

After that we pretty much hung out at home. He was so active this morning.. He took a 3 hour nap!! that was sooo nice!! We kept busy during his nap too..

That's what our day was like. We generally cleaned up the house, and everything else.

Happy Anniversary

July 3rd..Happy Anniversary to us! We've been married for 4 years now!

I am thankful for my husband and my son. I love my husband very much.
You do so much for us and we love you.

Busy, Busy Busy

It's been pretty busy so I haven't posted in a while. Here are some updates as to what's going on.

First, Jamie's still doing well and jabbering, making noises.

My FIL is doing better, however, in order to save his life, he had to have an above the knee amputation of one of his legs. But he's in Rehab now, and will be finally coming home soon. He is still in good spirits.

My Mom and dad have been having marital problems for a long time, but they might be separating in the next little while for good. As you can imagine, this is a really hard time for my family and also for my brother and sisters.

Oh one story about Jamie, We were trying out this new casserole dish, and I had put the casserole dish on the table (for dinner) and he must have touched it. I had seen him holding his other hand. I got him to the sink and was running water over his hands. I asked him, "Does that feel better?" and I swear I heard Jamie say, "NNNNOOOOOO!" We both cracked up laughing.
Hopefully this will start a language spurt.. but we're not sure. We think Jamie's taking his sweet time talking.
Trey is still going to school and is doing well.

I will need to post a LOT of pictures to make up for not posting them..

More updates coming soon.

Family Updates

There has been a lot of news lately so I'll fill you in.

Me and Trey got our own car back after being repaired. That was this past weekend. Woohoo! :D

Trey's father has been in the hospital fighting a bad infection. He is doing well and will come home soon. That is encouraging. He seems to be in good spirits which is great!

Jamie has had another couple sessions, both with the Occupational Therapist (OT) and the Speech Therapist (ST). The Speech therapist was trying to scare us into thinking Jamie had autism.. but me and Trey have done extensive research on it, and I believe he doesn't have it. The speech therapist has not said a thing since. Jamie and I both like the therapists that are working with Jamie.

It's frustrating sometimes to not know what he needs sometimes, but he's a fun kid. He does a lot of jabbering and babbling, so I know he's close. He also knows how to make his needs known through his actions, which help a lot.

I don't have any pictures to post, but I will soon. :D

I will post more soon..

More news and Pictures

I know I haven't posted for a while.. so I'll fill you in on what's happened.

First, some sad news. My husband got into an accident on the way home from an errand he did after work. He is ok, but the car's not. But we now have a rental car, and the car can be fixed. Woo Hoo.. We don't have to buy another car!!

In other news, Jamie has had his first session of Speech therapy, and will have his second session of theraphy this Wednesday. The speech therapist is nice.
Jamie will also have his first occupational therapy appointment the wedneday after Memorial Day.

Jamie's been very cute.. I've gotten a few pictures of Jamie.
He is now doing some pretend play woo hoo. The therapists were concerned he wasn't doing this.. so that's good.



Here is Jaamie wearing Daddy's long black socks. They come up to his knees! :D



Here he is trying to put on his shoe.. What a kid!

I think my son's a techie kid. He loves anything where he can push buttons. I guess he's really into the cause/effect phase. He's fascinated with turning the lights on and off, etc. Sometimes Jamie can be really cute.



Here as you can see Jamie put on Daddy's headphones.. Is that cute or what?



For some strange reason, Jamie wanted to get in Trey's vanity sink. I let him.. but here he is checking out some shaving cream.. lol
You can also see he doesn't fit in the sink anymore :D

Jamie also likes to imitate us more, and helps us quite a bit.

That's about it right now.. Will post more when I have more pictures.
