Birthdays and snow days

Yesterday was Brady's 7th bithday.  That's right, it has been 7 years since my 9 lb 8 oz whopper made his debut.  Since then he consistently amazes me with his intelligence, humor and wit.  His first grade teacher said that he is the only one that laughs at her jokes.  And he can hold a pretty grown-up discussion full of sports trivia and Star Wars facts.  I love that kid.  The other day at Sonic he reminded me to tell the lady "no thank you" instead of just plain no.  And every time we get in the car he reminds me to put on my seat belt.  He is very conscientious.  He is always the rule follower--except when they are my rules, why is that?  He is very excited that he can now go into the "teen center" at the YMCA.  No more baby room for him...the world is his oyster.  

We had a great day.  Brady invited a few friends out for bouncing and pizza.  Of course, there are pictures.

The girl next to Brady is Emma, as in the girl from the Christmas cookies.

This is his reaction to the Legos Batman video game that we gave him.  I guess he's excited.

This is what Avery thought of the whole thing.

We also had two, count them two, snow days this week.  The second one was a beautiful day so we made our way to the Stroud's Sweet Sledding Slope.  

And finally, Avery went to her two month check-up at the ripe old age of three and a half months.  We're a little behind due to the temporary unemployment situation, but we'll catch up!  Anyway, she is 13 pounds (55th percentaile), 25 inches (95th percentile) and has a little teeny head (30th percentile).  She can hold her head up so well and is batting at toys, cooing and giggling and sleeping through the night.  Do they come any cuter than this?
