There Really are No Words...Well Not to Many

This post is over due by a few days, but here it is. Truth be told I couldn't decide if I really wanted to say anything about it or not. I didn't get to post it on Saturday like I had planned because my baby brother got married and we were out of town. I guess the title of this post should really be January 30, 2007. I am not going to go into detail because most of you that read this know the story. Today as I sit here and type this I have a big smile on my face because of all that has happened since that day! I am thankful for my Husband, for my Sweet Baby Boy, for my family and of course for Lucy. People always ask why I did not take any pictures of him hooked up to machines and tubes. I just say that had EVERY SINGLE DOCTOR been RIGHT that day, that is not an image I want in a picture (I have it in my head daily). I do have some pictures after he woke up and they day he got to go out for his 1st outing! That is all...no more, no less and I am fine with that.

The day before...I had a Snow Day and Jay stayed home with me

His 1st outing after he woke up

Outing to home to play with Lucy...she was so small back then

The "hole"

Our bus tour of the Stadium and to see the "hole" I actually love this picture!

Baby B is 7 months

I know I am a little late on this post. Brody turned 7 months on the 2nd! And guess what? He has 2 teeth! The first one came in the week before Christmas and the 2nd on the week during Christmas. Of course I never knew he was cutting a tooth because he did not show any of the normal signs! He did come down with a very bad cold last week. He had a temp of 102! YIKES! Dr just said that it was the worst case cold and to watch him for breathing problems. He was also put on an antibotic because the Dr anticipated he could/would get an ear infection. So we are finishing up with that and I am slowly starting see him get better day by day! So here are the 7 month photos! Happy New Year everyone!

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!
