Santa's coming


Brady took his first picture with Santa yesterday. It was his 5 month birthday and we needed a picture and what better way than a 1st picture with Santa. We stood in line around 12:15 and they took too long. Brady decided he'd had enough so we left so I could feed him and let him lay down for a nap. And nap he did 2 1/2 hours. In that time Jason and I finally got our room put together. We've only lived here since Aug 1, why get in a hurry. :) So we cleaned up the house and waited on Brady to wake up. Don't we just lead the most exciting life.
Brady woke up and ate and we headed out. The line wasn't long but still took us quite a while. There we were, we were next, Brady was going to have his 1st Santa experience and Santa decided he needed to pee. We have a 5 month old who gets bored so easy and Santa needed a break. UGH. Well he took what felt like forever and finally made it back. Of course the kids in front of us were so excited to see Santa until they got up there and then they were scared to death so it took them a bit to get "the perfect picture."
Ok, now Brady's turn and what does Santa say, "A little girl?" I couldn't believe it, I thought Santa knew everything, I mean he knows if you've been bad or good but he doesn't know if my baby is a boy or a girl. Well that's the 1st time anyone has ever thought he was a girl. I had him dressed in a yellow and tan stripped shirt and jeans. I mean nothing gender specific but geese.
So we got the picture and it cost us a small fortune for something we could have done at home if we only had a Santa costume but it's something we will cherish forever.
It's amazing how quickly they grow up and before long he'll be grown and going to school. I love every second of being a mom.

Looks like everything's going well for the "Grams". Stefanie, I knew motherhood would suit you well. Brady's getting so big. Also, a big shout out to "J". Wutup dog! Did you pop that Santa for thinking Brady's a girl?
