Baby Names

BRODY HUTSON

Kelly's Korner is doing Show us your life Friday-Baby Names or Future Kid Names!

When I was in college I had to take a class called Understanding Death and Dying (Gross) and we had to do a family tree. I discovered that my dad's grandfather's name was Brodie and I LOVED IT! I am Abb"ie" so I decided to change it to "Y". I knew right then that my first baby boy would be Brody and my future husband would just have to deal with it! When Jay and I went to NYC the summer before I got pregnant we stayed on the HUDSON river and we both liked it and decided that if we have a boy it would be Brody Hudson we like the way it sounded...it just all flowed! As you can see from the title of the post there is one letter different, when I told my mom about the name she said well Grandmom's maiden name is HUTSON. We thought what the heck people in Texas will pronounce it the same wether it is a "t" or "d"! So now we have a sweet little Brody Hutson who will be 1 in June!

As far as girl names go...we have not discussed this much at all, but we know we will want to look into family names when the time comes! I am excited to look at all the other girl names people have used...before we found out we were having a boy we were having a hard time with girl names! I think girl names are so much harder than boy names!

Here are some pictures of my sweet boy! What joy a baby brings!

This is sure to make you smile!

I don't care who you are, but one of the greatest sounds in the world is to hear your baby laugh! On Friday night, with a simple toung click I had Brody laughing so hard. Of course, by the time I decided to get the video camera he was about done! Not to worry...I did get a little bit of it on video. The 2nd video is one I took while he was playing with his new toy. He "thinks" he is the best singer in the world...and how could I object to that! :)

9 Months

Brody turned 9 months yesterday! At his visit he weighed 17.2lbs and 27 3/4 inches. Dr. Frank said he is growing well and his top FOUR teeth have broken through the skin, but have not come all the way in yet...that explains alot from this end! Everyone always tells us how happy Brody seems all the time and while for the most part it is ture, he does throw a fit every now and again. I just happened to snap the pictures at the right time so the first 2 are him in the middle of a fit! Jay and I think it is quite funny when he does it because all he wants is for someone to pick him up...ROTTEN! But we love him that way!

Starting to throw his fit.

The middle of the fit.

Right after the fit. :)

Happy Boy!

He really is starting to like Lucy and wants to touch her all the time!

Snow Day!

OMG! Snow Day!
So when Jay left the house this morning (4:45ish) there was no snow and by the time Brody and I got up (6:15ish) there was! We did what we usually do in the mornings and there was no news of school closing. So I left at 7 like normal to drop Brody off at Brandy's. I got there at the same time as my friend Stephanie, so we left and I followed her to school. We did have to make a stop for some breakfast :) So while we were driving we get the call that school was on a 2 hour delay. We decided just go go ahead and go because we were already half way there. So we get there and to my surprise the parking lot was not as bare as I had expected. So we are there waiting till 10am when the kids were supposed to arrive...then we get the announcement that school was closed and to go home. The roads are supposed to ice tonight so we will see about tomorrow! Of course with the day off I had a list of things to do around the house, but I keep getting side tracked!

What we woke up to outside!

The one thing I did accomplish today!

This Red Raider tree and Aggie tree was something I was hoping to take down today, but I still have not done it!

The load of laundry that needs to be folded and put away before the next load gets out of the dryer...

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!
