A few random pictures from the past week:

 

Playing with his activity gym in a whole new way

 

falling asleep in the toy trenches

 

 

videos on the Kindle make a nice incentive for crawling

 

a new toy drum!

 

Visiting adam's college buddy near LA over the weekend

 

 

We can clap!

Not sure how it happened but Bradley just started clapping tonight. Yay buddy!

Traveling Again!

We spent the past 4 days visiting friends in Tucson, AZ and had a great time! It took us about 5.5 hours to drive there from San Diego and our little traveler did wonderful for the whole trip...he slept great in his pack and play in our hotel room (finally!), he smiled, giggled and sang to our new and old friends, and he enjoyed meeting his new buddy 2-month old Parker.

Entertaining himself while we pack for the trip

 

Watching some toons in our hotel room (wearing his new 12 month old jammies which barely fit!)

Hiking in the Catalinas with the lovely Aunt Heather

Haha! Luckily, no kitties on our walk

Unimpressed by our beautiful surroundings

Bradley was too busy singing to get a still picture

 

such a great traveler!

Tim's visit to San Diego

My brother Tim arrived last weekend and we've had a fun week of showing him around the area. Coming from the Baltimore area, he was mostly unphased by the crazy traffic here and enjoyed our moutainous terrain.

the cliffs at Torrey Pines

Sea lions in La Jolla

Seals in La Jolla

Yay Bradley! Entertaining himself while mommy and daddy enjoy some adult beverages.

Visiting the San Diego Natural History Museum

And the San Diego Air and Space Museum

not sure why Snoopy is hanging out with the WWI aircrafts

Trip to the San Diego Zoo...thankfully, Adam and Tim had a fantastic navigator along for the visit:

Staying up to watch Boston win the World Series

celebrating the win by wearing his red socks!

Perhaps not surprisingly, Bradley's favorite part of his Halloween costume was the packaging that it came in.

In addition to dressing up for Halloween, this week was Spirit Week at daycare. Tuesday was "dress like an adult" day:

Wednesday was "crazy hair' day but he missed it because he joined Adam and Tim at the zoo. So we combined it with Friday's "pajamas" day:

the mohawk returns!

Who needs toys to have fun?

We ended the week by visiting our favorite local winery

Also, Happy 7 Months Bradley!

Next weekend, we're heading to Tucson, AZ to meet up with Aunt Heather. Like usual, Bradley is quite the little traveler!
