Freedom!

It started at my parents house this past week. Up on his hands and knees, and signs that they would finally work in sync to propel him forward, rather than backwards. Friday, daycare reported that he was indeed crawling forward in short distances. Saturday, we realized our fears finally have arrived, Brady is mobile. We knew this meant that he would now be moving into the deepest, smallest parts of our house trying to find every way possible to kill himself. What we didn't realize is the adrenaline rush that he would get from this new found freedom to explore.

Saturday night we opened the Chinese New Year at my parents' house and he stayed awake until we left at 7:30pm, without a nap all day. This is basically unheard of for this little tyke.

Oh well, I guess watching football will never be the same again. I'm not a prophet, but I predict this conversation will happen at least once in the coming fall....

Irene: Jason, what happened to Brady?

Jason: Nothing, he's fine. They're just blitzing him a lot and our recievers can't get off the cornerback bumps to their hot routes and he has too hold the ball longer or force a tough pass.

Irene: No, Brady your son stupid.

Jason: Huh? Oh, he's under the coffee table playing with your Blackberry.

Despite our required lifestyle change, we are excited for Brady as he seems very excited about this new development. So, we've tried to figure out how to use the video function on our digital camera to capture some moments (and research exactly how he gets where he ends up). Thanks to YouTube.com, we can try to share some moments with you.

We wasted no time putting up the gate on Saturday. He is now a jail bird.
