Dancing
Brady has started dancing and it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. He just holds on to a piece of furniture and starts stomping when music comes on. I will try to get it on video to share...

Movie Project
Has it really been over a month since I've posted? I can't believe it but it is true. The summer is flying by and we've been keeping very busy. Since I last posted I turned 30, we went to Pittsburgh for the 4th of July & a friends wedding, I co-hosted a baby shower & an engagement party and I've been working on planning Brady's first birthday party & our trip to Napa next month. Oh, and I've been having fun with Brady.
Anyway, I hope you'll forgive me with this post because I have something super cute to share with you. I was going to hold on to this until Brady's first birthday but I can't wait anymore...

Standing
Brady is all about standing and cruising these days. It took him about a week go from kneeling to pulling up to cruising. I hope he's satisfied with cruising for a little while because I'm not ready for him to start walking!!
Hands down, bath time is Brady's favorite time of day

Weekend in PA - take two
After Memorial Day weekend, we hit the road one more time to visit Brady's old friends Chase and Nolan, and his new friend Bryce! Brady was much more interactive this visit as compared to January, when Chase had the whole coordinated-movement thing down and Brady did not.
On Saturday afternoon we headed into Philly for the CHOP Healthy Children's festival. The weather was perfect and the company was even better.

After we got back from the festival, Christina & I took the boys for a ride in the wagon to the park. Brady absolutely loved the wagon. I'm afraid that I might look crazy toting Brady around in a wagon on the city street but I may have to get one any way.

On Sunday before we headed back to DC we stopped by the 'Berger's place to meet the newest addition to our group. Little Bryce Charles was just over a week old when we got to see him and he is precious!

** Christina, thanks for letting me poach some of your pictures. You did a great job capturing the wonderful weekend!
Memorial Day
We went to Pittsburgh for Memorial Day weekend and had an absolutely wonderful time with Jim's family. Saturday was the annual Sheriff/Shipe Memorial Day Picnic hosted by Jim's great aunt Betty & his second cousin Patty. There was a lot of family there, including Brady's great grandmother Marge and the newest addition to the extended Shipe family, Sophia, Jim's cousin Emily's daughter. We didn't get any pictures with her, but she is adorable!

Mother's Day
I know this is seriously out of date but I needed to share because I had a wonderful first Mother's Day. It wasn't fancy but it was perfect.
Jim and Brady started the day out by letting me sleep in and then bringing me Starbucks in bed. Yum! After a lazy morning my parents came over for a afternoon of grilling out. My Dad & Jim let my Mom and I sit back and drinking sangria all afternoon as they prepared the entire meal. And, it was so good! (No more excuses for not cooking, Jim!)

Why is Six Afraid of Seven?
Because 7 8 (ate) 9. Seriously, I think it really happened because I don't know where Brady's ninth month has gone. I'm sure several factors such as us moving, Jim being sick, Brady being sick, the hockey playoffs (don't get me started on how long and boring it is) and some traveling has had something to do with it. We were so unorganized this month that we didn't even get a picture for Brady's 9 month birthday! I bought some cupcakes to celebrate but then Jim had to work late that night and then the following night we were out and then those darn cupcakes started to look too good to just sit there so Jim and I ate them. We're bad.
Anyway, I'm very sorry we've neglected that blog lately. On top of all of the aforementioned events of the past month I also lost the cord to download pictures and videos from the camera in the move. Moving sucks and moving with a baby sucks even more. After about a month in the new place we are starting to feel more settled and are enjoying the new place so much. While I loved our old place, I did not love that we faced that back of Whole Foods, which provided us with the sounds of delivery trucks all day and night. Our new place is like a little oasis in the city with some beautiful outdoor spaces and we can actually hear birds chirping.
So, I found the missing cable today and I plan to do a massive download of pictures tonight so over the next few days keep a look out for some new posts. In the meantime, here's a cute picture from Jim's iPhone...
