call me crazy

So I did something a little crazy yesterday that one of my (very) nerdy computer friends suggested - I went ahead and secured my 8 month old child a Yahoo email address... and maybe a Gmail... and maybe even a Twitter account too.

That's right, bradenturner15@yahoo.com, bradenturner15@gmail.com, and @bradenturner15 are all locked up for little B to use 10 years down the road when all the basic name email addresses have been taken.  Sounds a little crazy, but the more I think about it, it's a genius move!  Even I haven't changed my email since I got married because anything related to my new last name is taken, and it automatically suggests something crazy with five numbers involved, plus periods and underscores - too much for people to remember.  I can't imagine Yahoo!/Gmail/Twitter not being around 10 years from now, and one day he will thank me for being such a crazy mother and doing this!

Matt asked if I had already made other ones for names of future children we might have - don't worry, I'm not that crazy, but it definitely crossed my mind too before he said it!

7 month mark!


I couldn't get a decent picture this month - above we have fingers in our mouth scoping out tooth #3 that just popped through, and below we have his lizard tongue that is constantly sticking out now - he is too silly!

Braden has been keeping our pediatrician busy the last few weeks with first an ear infection, then stomach virus, then another ear infection this week - poor thing!  He was sent home from daycare yesterday with a 102.8 temperature, so I had to stay home with the little bug today.  It's amazing that thru all his different sicknesses, he is usually still SO happy!  I just got these 2 pics of him exploring around the living room.  We've definitely had to start baby-proofing the house because he is interested in every little thing on the floor or plugged into the wall.  I feel like my arms are getting stronger every day too carrying him around - he's right at 19 lbs., 14 ounces, and can't seem to tip over 20 lb. mark!
