Three little Monkeys!

Brady has started Pre-K! The morning of his first day he was really a character. I'm telling you that I never know what this boy is going to say or do. He was posing every which way for the camera and really cheezin it up. He had a great first day. This past Monday was his first full week. I got him dressed and he was all ready to go, when I feel a tap on the back of my shoulder, "Momma, I just want to stay with you all day", I thought to myself, this is going to be rough. I told my little man that once he got there he would have a lot of fun and that he could play with all of his new friends. Well, we arrived at the school and walked to his classroom where he held onto my leg as tight as he could. I sat for a minute and showed him some stamps and colors, but then he wrapped his hands around my neck like a little monkey and wouldn't let go for nothing. I told him that I loved him and that he would be fine. Mrs. Rebecca took him from me and I walked out the door. My heart was heavy. I don't like leaving my kids crying for me AT ALL! I thought about him all day long and couldn't wait to pick him up at 2:00. I was there 10 minutes early and he was SO EXCITED to see me. I got to hear about his entire day in detail. How he got to paint on a t-shirt, sing songs, and he even got to PRAY he said. So whew, I let out my breath and now I feel better. He was very excited that he decided to stay at school. Brady also just went to Houston for his Heart Cath and we got a GREAT REPORT! His heart is working like it should and his rejection score was a 1. (0-4 being good and 5-10 not such a good report). I think God for this HUGE BLESSING!

Okay, onto Avery Ann! She lost her very first tooth! We were super excited for her. Poor thing it was loose for about 2 weeks, but she just was so dang scared to pull it. By the last three days the tooth was changing colors on us because it was literally hanging by ONE ROOT! I tried numerous times to talk this girl into just yanking it out, but NO WAY was she having any part of that. We were in bed and talking before she went to sleep and I told her, "Avery, you have to pull that tooth before you go to bed tonight or you could swallow it and choke," she says "but Mommy I'm not ready." I told her to take a deep breath and just do it. So we were watching TV and VERY, VERY, CALMLY she says, "I GOT IT, GOT IT"! Then yells for Daddy to come see. We put her tooth under her pillow for the "TOOTH FAIRY" to come visit. She woke up and got $20.00. This only happens for your FIRST TOOTH!

Jake is growing so fast that I can't believe he is already 7 months old. I swear time is flying by right before my eyes. He is such a wonderful baby and sleeps very good. Lately he is just a LITTLE fussy because he is trying to cut those dang teeth, but none have appeared yet. He is up and crawling all around. He absolutely LOVES his Daddy and will light up immediately when Brandon walks into the room. Jake is now 21 lbs and boy does he get heavy. He can even wear some of Brady's shorts. I think we have a linebacker on our hands.

I hope you all enjoy the pictures. There is a little of everything on this one. Just press play.
