Brody's 1st Christmas

Well we survived Brody's first Christmas! It was a fun day, but I did not get many pictures because the little guy woke up on Christmas morning with a dang cold! We have been fighting it since! Not fun! I did manage a few pictures on Christmas Eve with the cousins and as a family we managed a family shot! My sister-in-law took that photo with her camera so I don't have it to post! Anyway here are the few pictures I did get from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! I also managed to get a few pictures of some of the toys from "Santa"! How many toys can one boy need?! Hope you all have a wonderful New Year!
Coleman, Lilly and Brody
Cousin Coleman
Brody and his Uncle Bailey!
The only photo from Christmas Day I did manage...Papa and Brody sacked out after a long day!
All of the gifts for Brody
His new favorite toy! A walker from Mimi and Papa! He loves this thing!

Here Comes Santa Clause, Here Comes Santa Clause

This morning I decided to take Brody to see Santa! I was feeling a little guilty since I had not taken him yet...guilt because it is his first Christmas and we still had not made it to see the Big Guy! So we arrived at about 9:50 and they opened the doors to Santa at 10:00. We did not have to wait too long and Brody did great! He of course kept all the people in line in front and behind us entertained! He was showing off big time talking, eating his foot and just being Brody! Santa and his Elf said Brody was one the most beautiful babies they had ever seen...so if Santa says so it must be true, right?! Here is the Santa picture what a show off!

Baby B is 6 months

Brody turned 6 months today and boy did we have a big day! It started off snowing and then it was on to get some shots. He ended up getting 6 shots this time because the Doctor wanted him to have the flu shot! He was very brave and hardly even made a peep! He did whimper a little but I gave him a paci and kissed his cheek and he had stopped crying before she even finished giving him the shots. He is growing nice and long...26 inches and Dr Frank said we need to start "fattening" him up. He weighed in at a whopping 14lbs 9oz! So we are on to 3 meals a day with cereal and bottles! As I've said many times, I guess we just have a lean baby on our hands (which surprises me a lot)! She even told me he can start eating "big" people food. Things that are soft like mashed potatoes and peas and such. So now begins a new phase of Baby B's life! We will see how this goes!

1st Thanksgiving and Christmas Photos

I decided that Brody needed a Christmas Tree in his room! I went to Hobby Lobby and was able to find just what I wanted (everything was on sale too...including the tree)! I went with the Camo/Hunting theme! Here are a couple of pictures I snapped while Brody was trying to figure this thing out!

Baby B is 5 Months!

Don't have much to say for this post...I will just let all the pictures do the talking! My little man is 5 months old today and growing so fast!

Happy Halloween!

Fall/Halloween Decorations

I meant to put this post up a while ago, and I forgot. Now that Kelly is doing Show us your life-Fall Decorations I thought this would get me motivated! So here are the Fall Decor photos and I had to add in the cutest pumpkin of them all! I have gotten all of my decorations at Hobby Lobby over the years and being that I have an October Birthday my sister-in-law and mother-in-law get me a lot of decorations from there! They always have the items on sale. I was just in there the other day and I noticed that they have already put some of the Christmas decorations on sale! CRAZY! My Halloween Village came from Michael's and they too are always marked at least 30% off. Come to think of it...I don't think I have paid full price for any of my fall decorations, Christmas, however is another story but we will save that for another day. I must say I LOVE to decorate and it has been so fun this year having Brody to decorate for! I can't wait till Christmas!

Let's Play...Who Do I look Like

This is for those people who have told me that Brody looks like Jay (and yes there have been some people that have said that)! The picture of me is a little old because it was taken in 1980, but you get the idea!

It's Official

I was hoping that I would NEVER have to write this post, but I guess that is what I get for saying never! Brody has officially become a thumb sucker!!! It drives me crazy because I know it is going to be such a hard habbit to break! When I catch him doing it I pull his thumb out of his mouth and pop in his paci. Today I was cleaning his bottles and when I walked into the living room this is what I found...my sweet baby sucking his thumb! Oh well, to each his own I guess!

Baby B is 4 Months and it is October!

I waited a few days to put up this post because I wanted to be able to include his stats! We went for 4 month shots today and he was such a good boy! He didn't cry on the first stick, but did on the 2nd and 3rd! He was fine as soon as I picked him up and got him dressed! They usually don't rush us, but we were rushed out of a "side" door pretty quickly because they did not want me to walk through the waiting room with Brody! They said they have seen TON of H1N1 cases and didn't want to take any chances with Brody since he can't get any kind of flu shot till he is 6 months old!
Anyway looks like Baby B is living up to his nickname around here of "Daddy Long Legs"! He was 25.25 inches and weighed in at a whopping 12lbs 7.5oz! Dr Frank assured me he is healthy and growing at a normal rate for his age! She also said that developmentally he is doing well too! He can roll from front to back, according to her he had "great" head control, when on his back he rolls from side to side, he talks ALOT, and last week he found his feet and his tong! Dr Frank also went on to say that since he moves non stop that has alot to do with his weight! Let me tell you he never stops kicking those legs unless he is asleep and he will sometimes kick then too! He did not disappoint any one in the office as he was flirting and smiling with all the ladies.
I love the month of October...yes one reason is because it is my birthday month but also because fall has officially arrived and I get to decorate with pumpkins! I am in the process of putting out all my Halloween Decor and I will up date with pictures of that later. And because I love October so much I could not resist dressing Brody in a pair of his Halloween P.J.'s for his 4 month pictures!

Football Night in America!

I was in the kitchen making dinner and when I walked into the living room this is what a saw...my two sweet boys watching football! I said don't move and had to run to the car to get the camera. I have also posted some random pictures from the past few weeks! Hope you all have a great week!
