8 months old!

Bradie is 8 months old this week!  We've had an interesting couple of weeks- from both of us having strep throat, plus Bradie had an ear infection, Lee being out of town, Bradie and I got into a car accident and two doctor appointments in one week- needless to say it has been very busy and hectic around here.  

The first night Lee was out of town, Bradie was crying and crying and I walked into her room to find her standing for the first time and chewing on her crib!  She had her two bottom teeth coming in, probably already had strep and had an ear infection!  This was the beginning of a LONG night of crying and Bradie getting stuck standing up since she hadn't figured out how to get down once she was standing up.  But doesn't she look so cute standing?




Feeling a little better by the end of the week!  Smiling and showing her little teefers!


Since we had two unscheduled doctor's appointment, I found out that Bradie weighs 19.4 lbs and is 28 inches long.  She's a big girl!  I also learned from the doctor that Texas is about to pass a law requiring rear-facing car seats until 2 years old.  So, no matter how big she is, she'll be facing the back for a while.


Snow in February!


Here are pictures from our history-making snow day!  We had around 10 inches in Forney!

Bradie wasn't too sure about the cold, wet snowflakes hitting her on the face.

Bradie and Roxie are best friends...Roxie just has to give Bradie kisses several times a day.

Our little snowbunny family!  

Loved the snow for that one day, but then I was soon sick of it!  I could never live in a place that has snow on the ground all winter!
