Trick Or Treat!

Well, its hard to believe a year has past, as you can see from the Halloween picture from this year, and ther one from last.

This year, Brady and Mackenzie decided to dress up together as characters from the Wizard of Oz. Then, we went Trick Or Treating in Shanna & Dave's neighborhood. Brady gots lots of candy. What does he like the best, you ask? Three Musketeers!

Battle at the Dinner Table

So lately, Brady doesn't want anything to do with his baby food. Who could blame him? The stuff has no taste. The other problem is....like his OCD father, Brady doesn't like to get his hands dirty. So, asking him to pick-up and eat messy foods is completely out of the question...we just can't get him to pick them up.

But tonight, we had a break-through! We taught Brady how to use his spoon and fork to eat his food. With these new tools, he ate lots of fresh sweet potatoes and some of Dad's cranberry-orange-nut pork.

Victory for us!

The Great Bath Protest

Tonight, Brady decided to protest taking a bath. Instead, he thought it would be fun to watch the Wiggles while sitting butt-naked on the bathroom floor.

Fall Is Here! A Report by Brady Stack

Well, fall is here. Dada and I had to rake the leaves the other day. Actually, Dada did most of the raking, I did most of the playing. Do you like my new set of wheels that I got for my birthday? Its a pretty cool motercycle, except that I need to use my feet to get around and I haven't figured that out yet.

Let's see, what else has been happening...

I am getting better at walking. Now, I almost walk everywhere I go, but I still like to crawl from time to time. I'm also getting over a double ear infection. That wasn't too fun, but I'm finally starting to feel better.

Why I Hate Ear Infections

For almost two weeks now, Brady has had a terrible double ear infection. He's been to the doctor twice, and he has been on two different types of antibiotics to get rid of this nagging problem. The first one upset his stomach. The jury is still out on the second one. In the meanwhile, Brady hasn't been himself.

He cries for no reason, and won't stop until we pick him up and hold him.

He wakes up in the middle of the night and won't go back to sleep.

He has lost a good part of his appetite.

He's been on a fairly significant regiment of motrin and tylenol for the past two weeks.

I hope this goes away soon. I want my Brady back.

Argh.

I can't believe my baby is one!!! by Erica

The first year has gone by so fast I can't believe it. It's hard to believe that a year ago we had just brought Brady home and were getting acclimated to having a child in the house with us. Little did we know how much our lives were about to change for the better. So Happy Birthday Brady Michael, may your life be filled with happiness and love!

Brady is Officially Walking!

Happy Birthday Brady!

October 12, 2005: Brady Michael Stack was born at 6:26pm. He was 7lbs, 10 ozs.

As you can see, he's gotten quite a bit bigger, and he has almost learned how to walk. He just continues to surprise us every day. We love you Brady!

A New Microwave...and a Headache

After waiting ten minutes only to find out my leftover turkey dinner was still as cold as when I put it into the microwave to begin with, I thought to myself that my $40 Wal-Mart special microwave had finally S.T.B. So, Brady, Erica and I made a trip out to Best Buy tonight to scope out the latest in x-ray cooking. We settled on a nice LG sStainless-steal unit, seen in the picture to the left. We figured it would go nicely with our LG Fridge. I was lucky too, it was the last one there. I couldn't wait to get it home, set it up, and have my turkey dinner.

Wouldn't you know it though, upon opening it at home, I was shocked to find out that someone painted my new stainless-steal microwave white. I'll have to return it tomorrow.

Oh....and there is a reason they use the expression "cold turkey".... its not good.

Brady Takes On Soccer

Korea Anyone?

Ever want to visit Korea but didn't have the time? Want to learn more about the Air Force? If you think the guy in the picture is handsome, you should see his older brother!
But check out his blog anyway: He'll be updating it from the front line...the most heavily guarded one in all the world!
