C'mon, let me go with you!

Dad is heading up the North Shore tomorrow, headed for Steelhead fishing camp. I helped him string his reels up the other night but I'm mad that I can't go with him & the boys. He must have it nice, all of these vacations - when is it Mom's turn?

Oh, yeah...and, today is my 5 month birthday. It's my birthday and guess how they treated me at daycare? They lost one of my socks when I was napping so the rest of the day I had to wear PINK SOCKS! And, I have my first pimple. A little guy just hangin' out on my chin. What a day!

In two days, I'll be FIVE MONTHS OLD

Five months old, already? Sheesh, boy does time fly. B-O-R-I-N-G weekend because Mom & Dad were kinda sick. We just stayed in the house, played, napped and chilled out while it was icky rainy weather outside. Hello...I think I've watched enough BRAVO tv this weekend to last me a year. I thought I'd post a couple videos of me because I'm now 5 months old!
#1: This is the reason why I'm so skinny. This is me in my room on the floor last night. My Mom took this video after I had been kickin' like this for 30 minutes. I guess I like to exercise...a lot.



#2: Nothing special, just me playing. This is mainly for our family out of town who don't get to see me very often. Look how big I am now!

Forgot to tell you - my new favorite "TREAT" that my Mom gives me when I'm a little cranky. A HONEY BOTTLE! Yep, she just warms up some water and puts a squirt of honey in my bottle. I love it.

My Dad, My Hero

My Dad is my hero becuz he shot a huge TURKEY this week! Gobble Gobble! Nice work Dad - next time you're suppose to wake me up at 4am when you're heading out the door so I can come with you. Mom said turkey hunting is super boring but I've heard it's a THRILL!

I was hit this week with SICKNESS. Yep, all of my buddies at daycare must have given me the crud. I'm finally feeling better but now my Mommy is not feeling very well at all. Mom, I don't like it when you feel ishy so please get better soon. Tonight I wanted to show you a picture of how I'm eating everything in sight. Not only putting everything in my mouth, but chomping on it like I'm a dog. Seriously - not kidding. Look at me in this pic below, I'm pretending my toy is laffy taffy.

Tonight Dad was out mowing the lawn and I wanted to watch him so mom put me in the carrier, I put on my fishing hat and I went out to see what the big deal is. Thanks for the hat Auntie Cami.I had dinner, relaxed, a bath, jammies and a bottle. I'm one happy kid. I'm ready for bed. Good night!

Boys vs. Girls

In my young wisdom, I already know the difference between girls and boys. Girls do girly things like talk about cooking, babies, marriage, boys, brand name of diapers, makeup, nail polish n' stuff like that. I know this because I was at Jenna's baby shower today. Here' a pic of all of my Mom's friends below. I wasn't in this picture because...well, you'll see why below.Because I was taking a nap in Sweet Pea's crib (she isn't born yet) and check it out, I CANNOT believe Mom let me take a snoozer in a pink crib and pink blanket.

Well, I know my parents have always told me that they would love me regardless, even if I wanted to kiss boys and wear a tu-tu - kidding, but, I know by now that I like boy stuff. Boy stuff like, working in the garage, grilling brats, hunting & fishing, playing in the mud, driving big trucks. So, when I got home today from the Shower I got a chance to do boy stuff with Dad & Gpa Sherck. We were putting up shelves in the garage.

I'm just hangin' out watchin' because I'm not old enough to use a saw yet but, holy cripes, do I look like an old man Sherck here in this picture.

So, now that I'm talking about Boys vs. Girls, I get really confused. My Auntie Ellie is a girl, but she likes boy things. Gpa Becker emailed this picture below to me this week because these were the books that Ellie picked out at the library at school. What the...Last night, I had a horrible night of sleep (was up about 6 times), one of the times I was laying there just smiling and cooing up at my Mom and she said to me "Brady Sherck, this is ridiculous, it's 2:00am" - I mean, c'mon, why is she so ticked when I'm smiling? I just don't get it. I napped a whopping 1 hour all day today (seriously) and that one hour nap in the pic below was one power nap. My parents sure do keep me busy. Now, I'm just back to my old self, being fussy n' all, pry because maybe, just maybe I'm getting some teeth. Sure hope not. My friend Zach tells me is hurts like a son-of-a-gun. My mom gets to drop me off at daycare this week because Dad is turkey hunting early in the mornings. Everyone cross your fingers that he kills a huge bird so we have something to eat. I'll try to post as soon as I can but I'm busy these days...busy being a cool kid. Off for a bottle and "Prison Break" on Tivo with Mom while Dad is out setting up his turkey blind. Lata!

Hi GGMA Becker in KC. Miss you & love you lots.

Hoppie Easta.

My parents made a promise to me - they said that if I slept through the night on Saturday night, then the Easter bunny would visit at 4am. Well, I didn't so he didn't come by my house. BUT, I did get THREE other Easter baskets thanks to my Gmas and Gpas. G&G Becker got me a whole bunch of toys and candy (for my Mom), G&G Durham got me a book and 2 outfits for this summer and G&G Sherck got me a bunny, a book and diapers in my basket. Diapers? Mom was so excited at the diapers gift but honestly, I don't tell Gma & Gpa but that gift is no fun!

Well, it's been over a week and I haven't posted. Man, have I been busy. I've gone on a bunch of walks in the stroller with Mom in the neighborhood, I went with Mom to the Dragon House restaurant and went with her to go and get her haircut. That place smells like girls! Saturday night we went to an Easter party at our friends Wayne & Shannon's house and Karis was there too. I had my first taste of BLL - Bud Light Lime. Yum. It was awesome, I got to stay up until 1130pm.

Sunday we went to our new church and then went to Gma & Gpa Shercks for dinner and golf. No, duh, we didn't play golf - we watched the MASTERS! THis is what you do when you watch golf: take a nap. We got our picture after church. It was so sunny so I didn't look at the camera.
So, tonight it's just me and Mom hangin' out while dad does the radio show on WCCO. I think we're going to swimming lessons (in the bath tub) and then we might do laundry. I love doing laundry, especially when dad puts me in the laundry basket. He's so silly - he does that all of the time.

As for me, I'm doing great. I'm big and strong and I still barf all of the time. I'm a happy baby, just still trying to figure out the sleeping thing. Mom is still feverishly working a lot of hours and dad is keeping up at work! They're so good to me I don't know what I'd do without them.

Hoppy Easta Everyone! I've learned one thing: next year, I'm sleeping through the night so I get an easter basket from my parents.

I'm no fatso at four months.

Hey people. Had my four month check-up today with Dr. Marybeth. Other than waiting FOREVER to see her, I'm lookin' good. Check it:

Weight: 12lbs 14 oz (10%)

Height: 25 inches (50%)

Noggin (Head size): (50%)

What this really means is that I'm totally normal! Dr. Marybeth told me today that I'm skinny and I need to eat a little more. So, I asked her when I could start eating some of Mom's peanut M&Ms....she just giggled. C'mon, I was serious! She said I can start eating some cereal. Got shots today too - three of them. I was a tough cookie - of course I screamed but I just did for a little bit when I was squeezin the heck out of Mom's finger.

Here's me and Dr. M. Holy cow do I look like a ghost.

So, Dad took the day off yesterday from work. Know why? Well, duh - it was trout opener. I can't wait until I get to go fishing with him.

Heading to bed. Tomorrow is FRIDAY - thank God! I love weekends because mom normally lets me doze off in their bed early in the morning. I can't wait.
