loveland afternoon.

brady & i took a little roadtrip for our walk this afternoon after his nap...to loveland!  we dropped by aunt kate's house to meet brutus (both boys were pretty fond of each other) and then took a long walk around lake loveland.  it was hotter than hades out there but most of the walk thankfully is shaded.  we had a great walk & talk!

 

lunch date.

we went out for lunch today after church, and tried out a new mexican restaurant in windsor.  it was delish & you were extra cute in your little marine corps bib and great mood!

baby tiny fashion.

baby toms seal the deal on this adorable outfit!!  one of my faves.

celebrating meghan.

i got to celebrate our sweet nanny megs this weekend at her bridal shower!  she's getting married this september & we are so, so happy for her and brock!!

hot summer days.

we ventured out on an afternoon walk today despite temps being near 100.  nothing makes little man happier than being outside, and i usually need the change of scenery by afternoon.  so we wore our tanks, lathered up with sunscreen, and headed out to the park!

(as you can see, it's hard to be 1 sometimes)

meet larry, your new best friend.

meet larry the lemur.  you have attached yourself wildly to him.  for months now, i've been trying to get you to attach to a blankie or a little lovey.  it's a big deal in the price household to have something you can't live without (for me it was my yellow blankie, which went to college with me!).  but none of my suggestions for blankies or lovies were good enough.  until i bought you a lemur stuffed animal at the zoo.  your cousins picked out a zebra & giraffe.  i chose the lemur for you because it's always been my favorite zoo animal.  and i guess it's your fave too, because you are now OBSESSED with larry.  as soon as you see him in your playroom you beeline it towards him, grab him & start cooing and snuggling him.  it's adorable.  and even though it's not exactly what i probably would have chosen for you, it's perfect.



on the move!

you are unstoppable with your new push-toys!  you haven't figured out yet how to turn them around though, so as soon as you get stuck in a spot you turn and look for me and start signing "please" as fast as you can.  i always prompt you, "help please!" so i guess you're catching on.  i love seeing you race all around the house with your toys - practicing walking.  you consistently take 3-4 steps to reach things you want, so i think you'll be fully mobile any day now.

signing "please".

i love how now whenever you want anything, you just frantically start signing "please."  it's like you're figuring out it's the quickest way to get something.  and to make me laugh.

mister personality.

brady has always had LOTS of personality (remember the rapidly changing facial expressions?!) - and here are more examples...

"i want that binky you have, mom!"

"pleasepleaseplease can i have it?"

"i'm NEVER gonna have it!!!!!"

binky-crazed.
