7 months old

Brody has passed the 7 month marker. He went to the doctor yesterday and weighs 19lbs 7oz and is 28 inches long. Healthy as can be (thank you Jesus!). He is still high up there in height but has come down in the weight some...needless to say, we are feeding him solid foods 3 times a day now. The same thing happened to Addie around the same time...got to love a lower milk supply. He has grown to master the sitting up world for the most part so we naturally had to capture him doing his "tricks." He loves the new view since he has more access to toys to shove into his mouth. Chris and I were just talking about how his eyes light up when he smiles...he is such a joy.

This is a look we get a lot from Brody since his eyes seems to be glued opened. He is such an observer.

Disneyland and Legoland with the Cousins

We couldn't have hoped for a better trip with the Fleming gang. It always warms our heart to be with them each and makes us long to live closer. The cousins all got along perfectly considering we were running on little sleep between 3 full days of theme parks. Quinn was adorable in her thick southern accent saying about Brody, "I want to hold that baby!" I can still hear her now and it makes me smile. Aidan impressed us with his personal hand drawn lego characters for everyone on the trip and Canon make hearts melt every time he was told happy birthday because he is just too stinkin' cute. All in all, it was perfect. Are you guys ready to move to California yet?!?!? :) Wishful thinking I know but how we long to live closer.














This picture is one of my favorites since it tells a HUGE story about Brody's life....Vegas+this hotel= Brody. :)

6 months

Our little Brody Boy is a growing weed. He is half a year old and gets cuter by the moment in our eyes. He is definitely showing us what he does and does not like. He wants to put ANYTHING into his mouth and will grab any object that is in front of him. He still loves the Frog-Duck disc toy and will break out into a full on cry if he drops it (which he does a lot). We are determined that he is capable of sitting up but he has no intentions of putting forth the efforts. He thinks Addie is stinkin hilarious and laughs at her high pitched voice she always uses to talk to him. Brody still loves to be held..all the time...and is working on his afternoon naps to lengthen them out for mom to work. We are making baby steps with the baby food since I wanted to wait until after Disneyland (pictures coming) to jump full force. He tried bananas for the first time the last two nights and seems to like them. I let him like my homemake apple juice popsicle today and he was in heaven. All in all, he is perfect.




Addie is still wearing here Christmas jammies...she LOVES them. Please note: it's been in the 90's here lately and she still wants them on.

Mother's Day and Baby Dedication

Our church does baby dedications on Mother's Day so it was time to have both kids dedicated. It was sweet to have them presented together with Mimi and Papa by our sides. I found myself a bit teary eyed as Pastor John prayed over each other our beautiful kids asking the Lord to guide and protect their paths. We spent the rest of the day hanging out as a family relaxing around the house.

We start them early in our house...here is one of many pictures taken by Addie. She loves using the point and shoot.
