Nine Month Update, by Cameron Stack

Well, I've now spent as much time in the outside world as I did in Mommy's belly. I can't believe how old I'm getting. Here are some of the milestones I've reached so far:

Food: I have now moved almost completely to solid foods, although Mommy still tries to sneak some fo that baby food in when she can. I love eating crackers, Cheerios, goldfish, watermelon, and anything else I can get my hands on. I'm still learning how to use a cup liek Brady uses.

Locomotion: No, I'm not crawling yet, but I'm pretty close. I can sit up, in fact I love sitting on the floor and playing with my toys.

Other: This weekend, Mama and Dada finally put my carrier away for good. Now I get to sit in a big-boy car seat. When we went to Lowe's this afternoon, I got to ride in the blue race car right next to Brady. We each had a steering wheel, and it was lots of fun!

Everyday I'm learning more and more. I can't wait to start walking so I can play with Brady all day long!

Brady the Ringbearer....Take 2!

Brady can now say he has been in TWO weddings... both times as a ringbearer. Yesterday, my cousin Cassandra was married to her high school sweetheart Scott. What a day for a wedding, the weather was perfect! The ceremony was at All Saints in Haverhill (the same church Erica and I were married at) and the reception was at Brookstone Park in Derry. The night was capped off by a 30 minute fireworks display....what a way to end a wedding.

Brady did AWESOME as a ringbearer. Erica and I were so worried that he wouldn't walk down the aisle, but as always, he never disappoints us.

Congratulations to Scott and Cassandra!!!

He can swim!

Brady LOVES his new "wet suit". He's a natural swimming in the water this summer!

Three Summers in the Pool

It is really hard to believe, but this is Brady's third summer in the pool. I thought I'd post a picture from 2006, 2007, and 2008. Interestingly, there doesn't seem to be too many differences in the past two years.

The weather is 90+ and it should stay this way most of the week. I guess summer is officially here!

What's It Gonna Be?

My brother Jason and his wife Christina are expecting (if you didn't know). They are due sometime in late October...I think.

Anyways, they had their first ultrasound today. I'm happy to annouce I will again be an uncle, but I still don't have a nephew.

Yep, they are having a girl. Congratulations Jay and Christina!

Now....the next stop is guessing their name...hmmm......

Brady's Famous Pancakes

Brady says his pancakes are easy to make. Here's what he said you need to do:

Combine 1 egg, 2 cups pancake mix, 1 1/4 cups milk, and some vanilla extract in a bowl. Spoon mixture over a hot, buttered griddle and cook until bubbling. Flip and cook the other side 30 seconds more.

Stack them high and cover them in maple syrup for a yummy meal, anytime!
