Welcome to the Monkey House

We've moved! This move has been a long time coming. Tini was a great name for Brady before he was born but we never got around to changing the name of his blog -- until now. All future posts (and all past posts) are now at our new blog: http://theshipes.blogspot.com/ Check it out!

Pre-Bath Brady

Brady loves the freedom of no clothes right before his bath. He
squeals and giggles like crazy. What a funny boy :)

Sophie

Teething sucks but Sophie is awesome. One of the mothers in my playgroup recommended Sophie the Giraffe and she has been a huge hit. So much of a hit that I think I will be buying every new mom one in the future. Brady just lights up when he sees her and hears her little squeak. Plus he just loves chewing on her legs. The best part is that she is made with natural rubber and food paint so I don't have to worry about it spending endless hours in his mouth.

Don't mess with dragons

Our friends Britt and Justin gave us this adorable outfit at our shower and I've been dying to get Brady in it. It finally fits him but unfortunately it is 30 degrees outside so he can't go out in it. He still has some room to grow in it so hopefully we'll get him out in it before it is too late. If not, I guess we're just going to have to move south for the second baby so s/he can get to wear it!

Go Steelers!

Watch out for aliens

5 months!

We can't believe that Brady is almost half a year old. It's been such an amazing journey with him and we are so excited to see what each new day brings - because it seems like he does something new and amazing each and every day. We love you little guy!
