7 months old...

Good afternoon everyone. I hope that y'all are all having a great day. I have been really bad at blogging lately. Sorry about that. I can't believe that Brody is going to be 8 months old next week. Time is going by too quickly.

He is crawling around like crazy. He follows me into every room that I go into. He is too cute. He is also clapping, and waving bye-bye at everything. When we leave in the mornings, he waves at the furniture. He is too precious.

These pictures are from the park. He loved to swing. His favorite was laying back and swinging with Mema.

These pictures are from a couple of saturdays ago. I put right in the middle of the sweet potato fields and he loved it.

I hope y'all have a great day.

He's on the move...

Well, folks our lives are going to get a lot crazier. Brody has started crawling, and pulling up to a standing position. Here is a video of him crawling. Have a great day.

Splish Splash I was taking a bath.....

I love this video. By the time the bath was over, there was hardly any water in the sink. He was doing some serious splashing. Have a wonderful day.

Play Time with Brody

Ok, I am going to try and upload this again. He loves playing with his crawling ball. He learned how to sit up from a laying down position, and he is almost crawling. He is just too much fun.

Sleepy Time

This is a picture of Brody on the way home from the babysitter. He loves to see puppy, and cuddles up and goes to sleep.

I took a video of him playing last night, but for some reason it would not post. I am going to try later.

Six Months and Counting

Hello Eveyone,

I can't believe that my baby is six months old. I probably said that in the last post. At his six month check up he weighed in at 18lbs 8ozs, and is 26 3/4 inches long. He is in the 75th% for weight and height. His head circumference is 46cm. Holy Cow!! He is in the 95th% for head circumference. He started getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth. I really need to get a baby gate. :)

This is his new favorite place to be. A laundry basket.

Here are some pictures from a little photo shoot that I did Saturday morning.

Six Months Old

Hello Everyone,

I just thought that I would send a little quick hello from the six month old boy. I can not believe that he is six months old. He loves to eat. Loves it. Starts pitching a fit when the jar of food is empty. He loves to play peek-a-boo. He is sitting really well. We are starting to work on drinking out of a sippy cup. He is not too sure about that yet. He loves to give hugs.

The Incredible Sitting Baby

Look what I can do!!!!!!!
For some reason the screen is black. Just click on play to see the incredible sitting baby. :)

A lot of Posting

Ok, I know that I have not posted in a long time, so I hope that this makes up for it. There are about 3 to 4 posts on here from today. I hope that you enjoy them as much I enjoyed posting them.

Another First

Brody had his first sink bath this weekend. I can't believe that he is already big enough to have a sink bath.


I also wanted to post a picture of him eating his first real food. Of course it was sweet potatoes. :)

First Day at the Zoo

This weekend we went with my mom and dad to the zoo. Brody loved it. He loves to be outside, so he had a great time.

Brody with Mommy and Daddy getting ready to go in the zoo.


We had a picnic before going to see the animals. Brody thought he could have a PB&J. :)


He's ready isn't he?


Did you see that?



He loved looking at the Polar Bears. I wish I could have gotten the Polar Bears in the shot.


It got really hot, so Brody had he's first very small taste of lemonade. We then switched to ice water.


I think he liked it.

Happy Fourth

I hope that everyone had a great Fourth of July. We went to my mom and dad's for the fourth. We were able to see some good friends at a cookout and see some great fireworks.

Brody says, "Happy 4th"

First Attempt

Ok, so here is my first attempt at posting a video. I hope that it comes through ok. Bryan was making Brody smile. It was so cute. Have a great day.

Just a couple of pics

Hey Everyone,

I don't really have much to post. Brody is now 5 months old. I can't believe how much the time has flown by. He started to eat his toes last night. Too cute. He slept in his crib for the first time Saturday night. He did pretty well until his teeth started to bother him, and then he was up for three hours. Sunday night he slept through the night. Woo-hoo. Last night, he put himself to sleep. It only took him about 5 minutes, and he didn't even cry.

He also has started eating real food. He loves sweet potatoes. Tomorrow night we are trying carrots, so we will see how that goes.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Prayers for Brecken

I just wanted to ask for prayers for a little girl named Brecken. Brecken is due October 20th. The Hicks family lost a little girl in August, and now they are facing another challenge. Their little girl Brecken's kidney's are do not look good. Their dr. said that it could be one of three things, 1. her kidneys look weird and that is how they are supposed to look and she will be fine; 2. her kidneys will shut down and start to fail or 3. she has polycystic kidney disease. This is what their doctor stressed the most. They are supposed to go back in 8 weeks for another ultrasound to see what is going on. Please pray for a complete healing for Brecken. Thank you so much.

Happy Father's Day

I hope that you all had a great Father's Day. We had a great weekend. It all started on Saturday night with a little trip to K&N in Martin for some frosted mug root beer. Brody was stylin in his baseball gear.

We went to church and then to my in-laws for some wonderful steak and chicken. I realized at the end of the night that I forgot to take any of Bryan and his dad on Father's day. Here is a picture of Mr. Ken and Brody from when Brody was born.

The following are of Bryan and Brody and my dad.



While we were at Mr. Ken and Ms. Val's, Brody got in the pool for the first time. He didn't really know what to think of it at first, but once he was in his floaty, he loved it.

4 Month Old Update

I can not believe that Brody is already 4 months old. Can you believe it? It is crazy how time flies. He will be 19 weeks tomorrow. Some of the things that he is doing is rolling over (once); scooting (a little); loving his cereal (as you can tell from the picture). He loves to talk to you, and sit up. He is almost able to sit up on his own, and he loves to stand. He loves his jumperoo and sunglasses. I am trying to record all these wonderful memories, so that I won't forget them.



A couple of weeks ago, we went to Nashville for the day with my mom and dad. We went to the Loveless Cafe for Breakfast. As you can see from the pictures, Brody really enjoyed it. :)



We then went to Franklin. It is such a beautiful town. We had a great time walking around the town.

We then went to Leipers Fork. We loved it. There were motorcycles there and every time one would go by Brody would follow it with his eyes. As you can tell, the boys loved it Leipers Fork too. :)

Happy Mother's Day

I hope all of you moms out there had a wonderful mothers day. Sorry I am a little late in posting. I am so blessed to have wonderful examples of mothers in my life. My mama has always been a great strength and support to me. I am also grateful to have a great, caring mother-in-law. I had a great first mother's day. My mom and dad came up for the weekend. Bryan got me the sweetest card from him, and he also picked out one from Brody. They gave me a Lowes gift card. That is mine and Bryan's favorite store. We went to church that morning, and mom was able to see Brody in Sunday school. He loves Sunday school, until he is ready to eat. Fortunately the kids snack time are just about the same time Brody likes to eat. Here are a few pictures from Mother's Day.

Mama and me with Brody

Here are a few random shots of Brody:
"Step away from the bottle and no one gets hurt"

Reading his first novel:

He really gets into eating his cereal:


This is Brody's favorite toy. "Ah, I love my duck."
