Zach Zach boo bak, banananana foo fak

...fee fye fo fak, Zach! So, ya'll know my buddy Zach Moore. Sunday I had a chance to go to a party at his house. It was a party to celebrate his adoption! Yeah! I would like to thank Zach's birth mother in Coco Beach, FL for making the decision to have Jimmy & Aimmee as Zach's new parents because if she hadn't, I would not know him. So, for all of you who don't know, adoption is a very beautiful thing. I know so much about it because my beauties (Aunts) Zoie and Ellie are adopted. Adoption makes families strong. Adoption makes families diverse. Adoption makes families whole. So, thank you God for letting adoptions happen, even though the process can be a super big pain in the tail. Here's some pics from the party....first of all, my main man Zach. He's sitting up now on his own. Can't wait til I can do that. Zach is two months older than I am. Sheesh - sure can tell by the size of those thunder thighs. Zach, easy on the twinkies. I got to play in Zach's jungle gym thing. Wow - over stimulation if you ask me. Notice the Sherck Smirk? I know, it's getting a little out of hand. Sunday night Mom had the girls over for their monthly girl's night. They just sit around, eat appetizers and talk about nonsense. Seriously! So, all of mom's friends are knocked up (that means pregnant) so, here I am with Jenna (and baby). I wanted to get Jenna ready to be a mom so I barfed all over her. It was so funny. Tonight going to hit up Gma and Gpa's house while Dad helps Gpa do some "stuff" in the garage. Me and Gma are gonna giggle together. Mom is at home working. Poo! My new favorite thing to do is giggle out loud. I giggle in the morning, at lunch, in the afternoon, at dinner, yup and even at 3am. Sometimes I giggle at the same time that I'm barfing.

Gotta run. Oh yeah, one more thing. Mom always takes me to "swimming lessons" in the tub with her, but guess what I did this morning for the first time ever? I got to take a shower with my dad. Any other 4 month olders get to do stuff like that? Bet not. After my bath on Saturday night, mom didn't comb my hair down and since then I've had a mohawk. Oh, my...

What's been going on with me?

Well, this is what I've been doing this past week.

We got to see Gma and Gpa Sherck- they came over for brats one night. They just got back from their trip to Naples, GA, & Ohio. Here's me with Gpa - I was trying on the new fishing hat that Gma bought me in Naples. I look, well, just too darn cute. Mom says I'm so pastey that she's gonna have to SPF me up this summer at the cabin. Whatever that means.

Today we went on an adventure to Costco. I love that place. That's where I buy my crap pants. And then when we got home I tried on my dad's watch. Ha.

Mom's bestest friend in the whole diggity world stopped over again today. She is one fruitcake. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you - today, my hair looks mighy red. I might be one of "those guys" after all. And, this is me and my lovely lady here. Right now, wherever I am in a room I just sit an stare at her. Sometimes it freaks her out but I just like to stare. She's so cool. I know, I know I look like my dad but I have her stunning big blues (eyes) and I like to babble like she does.

Tomorrow we're off to my friend Zach's adoption party and then it's girls night at the Shercks (that's my house) - Sounds like the girls may bring some playmates for me (Jade, maybe Fuzz, baby veenis which is still in Jenna's tummy haven't met "it" yet, maybe the Croz-meister, hopefully Finn)

THis next week I get to go see Dr. Marybeth again for my FOUR MONTH check-up. Can't wait to see how fat I've gotten.

Good night. Bye.

My trip to St. James

This weekend we took a quick trip to Gma & Gpa Becker, Zoie and Ellie's house in St. James. We had so much fun! I swear, Zoie is my bestest friend - she practically held me all day on Saturday. We went on a walk outside to the part, drank wine (no silly, i didn't drink wine), ate good food and played Wii! I loved watching the racing cars on the TV screen and...I have found out one thing about my mom, she is COMPETITIVE. She did a dance after beating Ellie in Wii bowling. Ha! Here are some picture hightlights of the weekend:
Here I am with my Gpa Becker hiding behind me.

This is Aunt Zoie. She held me all day.
The beauties tried on their dance cosutmes for me. What wierdos. Hey, Ellie - why do you have a bird on your head?Ellie said "this costume is itchy!" She likes wearing tshirts and jeans.Here's Dad and Ellie playing Mario Kart. I can't even remember who won because there was waaay too much drama.So, Ellie has a joke for everyone, I hope you can see the video below. She was telling me a joke and then FORGOT the punch line! ha!

After we got home mom went to work and Dad and I are just hangin' out until Gma and Gpa Sherck get here for dinner. Dad - STOP USING ME AS A PILLOW!
Have a good week everyone. Love, Brady M. Sherck

"C" what Grammie taught me?

So, she (Grammie) finally sent me some pictures from her visit.

"C" what she taught me? She taught me that "C" is for California.

She taught me how to do "soooo big"

She taught me how to whistle like a boy. Okay, I know...I look like a freak here in this picture.

She taught me how to do the Sherck Smirk.

She taught met how to sit in a high chair. It's too big for me but at least I tried it. And then, she taught me to do this when Mommy tries to feed me peas.

Lastly, she taught me how to smile for the camera when I'm with my Mommy.

Thanks for a great time Grammie "C"!

I'm a little leprechaun.

I hate St. Patricks Day....Just kidding! I LOVE St. Patrick's Day! Check out this cool onesie that Auntie Cami got me to wear on this special day. We went to Applebees for dinner tonight and all of the girls that sat next to us thought I was the cutest thing ever. I didn't really care about them though, I just wanted to watch basketball on the TV in the bar. Don't girls understand that they are not suppose to talk boys when we're watching sports? Duh!!!

And, check out the picture that my Aunt Ellie sent me today. She's such a goofball.

I barfed in mom's mouth.

So, I have this hilarious thing to tell you. Last night, Mom, Dad and I were just chillin’ watching the Wild Game and Mom had just given me a delicious bottle. I scarfed that thing like a mad man. Well, she was playing with me brought my head to her face so she could kiss my cheeks (she always does that) and, at that same time, I projectile barfed on Mom’s mouth! Yeah, I’m dead serious. It was all over her face and neck. I’m so confused…dad was crying. Mom explained to me that he was crying because he was laughing so hard. I guess that was funny. Next time, I’m gonna do that to my daddy. I'm 15 weeks old now and I love the weekend. Yesterday, I went with Mom to Wong's bridal shower and uh hem, I was very well behaved. Both days this weekend I got to go on a walk in my stroller outside because the weather is nicer. It's a little chilly still but mom bundles me all up. Today, Dad came with us on our walk and he was four-wheeling me through all of the water and snow and everytime that he would do it, he'd say "Whoa Brady!" These are all pictures from this weekend. I was being silly.Nicknames: What are they for?
Okay, by now I truly know that my name is Brady M. Sherck. But, what is up with nicknames? Here are some nicknames that my mom and dad call me: Pork Chop – Chicken Wing – Brade – Mr. Crap Pants and Wobble Man (cuz when I stand up I wobble back and forth). Most of the time Mom calls me Babe and Dad calls me Monster. Everyone at daycare calls me Baby. I still don't get it. Why don't they just call me Brady? This is Dad’s doll from when he was little. His name and Red. When I was sitting next to Red, Mom told me that I may have red hair when I get older. I thought that was so flippin funny. She has got to be crazy. I hope I don't have hair like Red's!And then I couldn't stop giggling when I fell on Red. Here's what Dad and I do a lot. Sit in the kitchen and watch fishing shows on ESPN & Versus. Sometimes I even see dad on TV!

Off to another busy week. As I write this, I'm playing on my play mat - Dad is laying next to me SNORING! I don't know what to do so I'm just staring at him. Mom is making pizza hotdish for dinner and I cannot wait.

Mom's Milk

My mom is getting tired of feeding me...so, now it's my dad's turn.

I've been good lately. Back in action at daycare and having a blast. Mom has been working lots at her job at night so I've had a chance to bond with my dad at night after dinner. We've been watching hockey, tying flies and doing boy stuff like that. I'll post new pictures of me this weekend. Promise. I'm getting these super chunkadunk rolls on my thighs. It's very cool.

Happy Birthday Beautie (Auntie) Ellie. I can't wait until I turn 6 years old too! When I get older, I promise I'll play ninjas with you all day long.

Grammie California

Wow, this week flew and I didn't even have a second to blog. Where is all of my time going? Well, this last week, much of my time went to being a rascal and FUSSING. Grammie California was here all week taking care of me (awesome) but, I got a super bad eye infection in BOTH of my eyes. While mom was feverishly trying to keep up with her new job, Grammie took me over to the cute doctor MaryBeth to get some eye drops. I'm all better now! We have had a great week - playing, bathing, strollering (grammie and i went on a walk outside), driving (my race car on the hardwood floor), eating (I'm eating 30+oz/day now and my mom can't keep up) and just lovin' life. I'm eating my hands like crazy now days. They taste so delicious. I like doing "so big" with my hands above my head. And, I look more blonde every day of my life. Oh yeah, forgot to tell you. I'm getting huge now. When I was at the doctor on Wednesday AM, I weighed in at a whole whopping 12.6 lbs. Watch out -

Driving around in my race car on the kitchen floor is tiring. Whew!

When I was fussing earlier this week, there was one thing that would chill me out. Gopher Basketball. I hope you can see the video below. I like sports.

My ears are starting to stick out like my dads when he was little and my parents think it's the funniest thing. Check out the pic of daddy below when he was little. I'm tellin' you, I have NO feminine characteristics. I'm 100% boy. I like girls, mud and trucks. Hey, dad. Nice sweater.

GGB (Great Grandma Becker): I've been thinking about you all week long. I hope you're feeling better. Keep resting and continue to keep all of those crazy friends of yours at Kingswood under control.

To Grammie California: Thank you for watching me. It's been great to have you here in Minnesota!

The Hershey Squirts, a Rollover Machine and an Alien.

Hi people. Boy do I have some fun things to tell you about. Well, my daycare ladies Shelli and Kari are now off to some place warm getting a sweet tan on a Caribbean cruise and I'm stuck here in snowy Minnesota just all locked up like hermit. I just CANNOT wait for it to be nice so I can go on walks with mom in the neighborhood and check out all of the hot chicks my age. Well, back to my story. Because Shelli & Kari are on vacation, this past Friday I got to hang out with Fuzz all day long. Fuzz's mom Rye took care of me. (I guess her name is Katie but mom told me to call her Rye because it's a nickname, just like all of the girls call my mom Becker)

Right when I got there to his house, Fuzz game me knuckles to welcome me to his home. It was so cool.

This is me right before I took a nap on Rye's bed. I was so happy about being able to nap in a bed for once (my parents do not allow this) and being able to wear my jammies all day long, that I just smiled really big at Rye.

And, then Fuzz helped Rye feed me. He even helped her change my hershey squirt diaper! That's what Rye calls it when I poop in my diaper. She's so crazy. As you can see in the pictures above, I LOVED checking out their pots and pans. They have them hanging from the ceiling. Now - that is WEIRD! Fuzz, if you're reading this...thank you for playing with me on Friday. I had a blast. Can I come again soon? One thing I almost forgot - I rolled over AGAIN when I was at their house. Yup, from tummy to back. This rolling-over-thing is so easy. I don't know what all of those 12 week olders are complaining about. It's not that hard. (Shh, don't tell mom but I kind of do it on accident but she thinks it's for real)

We spent this morning at #2 session of New Member Orientation at church. We found out today that this church as 1200 kids under the age of 18. Yeah, you think I'm lying? Um, nope...I'm not. My parents think I'm going to make some really good friends at VBS during the summer. Tonight we did something so fun. We went to Space Aliens again with the Murphys! Cooper is just one funny dude and Crosby. Man, he is one hunky guy. Crosby is two weeks older than I am but his cheeks are SO BIG.Me and my mom at Space Aliens. I was a little fussy.Here's my dad with Crosby. Check out those cheeks.One happy Space Alien family.

And, I learned one thing tonight from Dad and Brandon (Coop & Cros's dad): Women, girls and mommies like to eat ice cream. Holy crap...look at the size of that bowl. I wanted to let you know that they finished ALL OF IT. Another day tomorrow. Wait, I just remembered! TOMORROW is a special day! Grandma Durham is flying in tomorrow all the way from California for a whole week! Yes! She will be taking care of me all week while mom and dad are working. Love you all. Good night.

My big blues...

Hey everyone. I just wanted to show you my blue eyes. Sorry I can't write more but mom says I have to go to bed now because tomorrow I get to go and play at Fuzz's house ALL DAY LONG because Shelli is on vacation. Good Night.
