Happy 9 months to ME!!

Oh Hi there......So I continue to view life from a seated position but I am having a lot more fun now picking up toys and real food (most of it that you can still see on my face because my parents have bad lighting and always think they have cleaned me off - but I continue to be embarrassed in public as I always have carrots or squash stained cheeks!)

My mother's hat obsession is driving me over the edge but I put up with it I mean there can't be too many more baby hats that will fit my large cranium! Yeh Haw!

My parents keep telling me to crawl and get stuff but I just prefer to steam roll across the whole room to get to where I am going.....What's the rush?

I mean even rolling is exhausting.....just look at me....I am wiped out i don't have one more 180 left in me.....
Mom ....seriously enough pictures, I haven't even had a chance to pull myself together...don't get my baby rolls & elbow fat!
Anyway I am doing good - My mom says I am growing up WAY too fast....Happy 9 Months to me!

Only in Michigan!

Only in Michigan can you greet the morning and put on your Sunday Easter's best.........

Only in turn to find your self loading on snow pants, snow boots, coat, hat, gloves in order to make your way out to the Easter egg hunt in the SNOW (yep that's right 75 degrees last week, 30 and snowing this week!)

Like kids really care anyway.....oh candy and an egg I don't care if there is a hurricane...."I am going to get them!"

Brooke has ditched her basket (not large enough!) and just flailing about!

Victory - She has found more eggs that she can manage!

The ever so religious Munson's felt like church crashers over Easter we hopped on board a local Church's Easter egg hunt and festivities. It was funny people were like "oh who do you know in the parish?" "ummm no one" "we just came for the reception!!" haha - Actually everyone was very nice and inviting and they did a real nice job - Brooke enjoyed some face painting and a bounce house that she of course is obsessed with! While Mom and Dad hoarded the free hot dogs and popcorn - now this is a church we can possibly think about :)

Brady on the other hand is just like "what in the world?" Every time I wake up I am in a different place and now I am standing next to a 7 foot dog and have no idea why!! haha!
As if that wasn't enough excitement we figure hey Brooke's been good all morning lets head over to the Mall and torture her with a large stuffed human (something she has been frightened with since birth, but her mother must continue in order to get the pix!) Brooke still wasn't real excited with the Easter Bunny - she complied and sat NEXT too him and looks terrified and can't wait for the moment to end! After we leave she says "Dad I can see the man in the bunny costume, that wasn't the real bunny!" Great, already the dream has died? Does this mean I don't have to create "real Easter basket filled with real gifts?" haha!
And of course Poor Brady - yet again getting dressed for Mom's amusement, Happy Easter from the lil' Chickadee......

Representing the 630, 815,312, 720......

Okay Illinois has WAY too may area codes.......Anywho this is a shout out for Chi-town and the recent victory over the pistons!

Chris wasn't amused when he came upstairs and saw what Mom purchased for him... :)

In other basketball news I came in third place in my March Madness pool who would have guessed....Pretty Lucky!

Wow - its been a while....

So has it really been three weeks since I have had a moment to sit down and blog? Crazy as it seems it is true. We have been having some computer issues at home so that of course doesn't make it very appealing either. At any rate - things are busy as usual. Work....Babies....Life.
Brady is turning 9 months next week (Holy Cow!) - His new gig is just to sing for 1-2 hours during the night.....perhaps too much American Idol viewing and/or talk in our household has influenced his late night antics....Its amazing how frustrating it can be in the middle of the night and then in the morning you wake up and he flashes that big grin and you go "oh no big deal!" He continues to be on a crawling or movement strike - he is content to just sit and hang. Brooke is crazy as ever - always busy doing something/nothing. She finished up swimming and music last week and has just started gymnastics with a neighbor and seems to really enjoy it. Watch out Mary Lou! Mom and Dad - same ol same ol..... Work....Caffeine.....Play...Sleep.... Hopefully our computer has been revived and I can get some more timely updates! Hope all is well with everyone!
