Baby #2

We are adding to the family!

Baby #2 is Due January 8.

9 months

Brody is 9 Months old

He is getting so big, I took him to the doctor yesterday and Dr. Duffy couldn't believe how tall he is. He thinks he is going to be quite the athlete. haha I am pretty sure that since it runs in both sides of the family, he will love sports.

Height: 31 1/2 inches- 100%

Weight: 24.3 lbs- 92%

9 things Brody is up to this month
1. Brody boo is crawling all over the house and can go get anything that he wants to look at, feel or stick in his mouth to see if it is something scrumptious to eat.
2. He pulls himself up to a stand on chairs, couch and bed. I often find him awake from his nap holding on to the rails bouncing.
3. Loves to bounce in his bouncer, he is getting a little to stong for it, he will bounce so hard that I am nervous he is going to fall out of it.
4. He smiles all day long and especially loves to smile while people talk to him.
5. Loves to watch sesame street and squeels when elmo is singing, I think he is trying to sing along.
6. He has 5 teeth, 4 on the bottom and one on the top.
7. Loves to pull himself to a stand in the bathtub and laughs while mom is trying to get him to sit back down.
8. Still has really dark eyes, we don't know what color they are going to be?!?!?!
9. Gives really good kisses to mom and dad and is so proud of himself for being a good smoocher!

Big things

The last couple of weeks Brody has been doing really big things.

He can stand while holding on to something.

He can even pull himself up on the couch.He is also Army crawling all around the house.

If he sees something he wants,

he drags his little legs all across the floor to go get it.

I guess this means I need to get my house baby proofed,

I am sure little man is going to be getting into everything in no time at all.

My New Life

I cryed today.

I watched this beautiful video and sobbed.

For those of you that don't know about Stephanie Nielson, you need to. She will inspire you to be a better person and she will help you be greatful for all that you have.

I know that you probably don't have a lot of time to spend on the computer today...but PLEASE, take a moment and watch this video.

And when you are done, Thank Jesus Christ for all that you have be blessed with, because after watching something like this, you can't deny what a power he is in all of our lives. I know that he has had a huge hand in mine and I am so Grateful for him in my life!!!!!

fishs, octopus, and sharks oh my!

Chelsea and I took the kids to see the penguins (Raegans favorite) and all the fish at the aquarium. They have the greatest time there and love petting the sting rays. Brody kept getting startled and would jump when the sharks would pass him in their tank. It was so funny!!!! He kept turning around and looking at me with a smile, making sure I was right by him, just in case those scary things got out. haha It was such a fun day!!! Can't wait to go again, especially now that we found out they have story time at noon. yippeee!!!

8 months old

My little man is getting soooo BIG! I can't believe that he is 8 months, he is such a big boy and loves to let us know that he can do big boy things too.

8 things about Brody right now

1.He has a smile on his face at all moments, we like to say its his perma-smile.

2. He has 3 teeth on the bottom, and hasn't even make a fuss about teething.

3. He loves to sit up like a big boy, no laying down for this little man, that's what babies do. :)

4. He is so strong and will NOT let go of something if he gets his hands on it.

5. He likes to make deep growling sounds, it shows that he is really tough.

6. He loves to eat his baby food, he thinks he is so big.

7. He loves to give me kisses, and he laughs when I say wow wow wow, you are such a good kisser.

8. He lights up when Austin and I go get him in the morning, he kicks and squeels and smiles the biggest I have ever seen. He is thrilled that we are there and we also couldn't be happier to see our little man.
