One Year Pics




Brody had some REAL pictures taken this morning and I am so pleased with the sneak peak! Our friend Abby was the photographer and she did such a good job.

TWO STEPS FORWARD (one tiny step back)

Hooray! Brody took two legitimate steps today. No assistance! I know, I know, our worlds are about to change, but I for one am pleased to know that my days toting a 30+ pound baby are coming to a close :).

Unfortunately our poor boy took his first two steps on the same day he was diagnosed with RSV. For those of you who don't know it's a viral infection that doesn't really affect adults with much more than a case of the sniffles, but can be pretty tough on little guys. He's on quite a bit of medicine for all the other problems it has caused (double ear infections, chest infection, reduced oxygen intake), but there isn't much we can do for the RSV except watch it and make sure it doesn't cause bigger problems.

Brody is going to be fine, but if you get the chance, say a little prayer that he will heal up fast and return to his super-smiley self!

Brody's First Birthday

Brody turned one yesterday. It is with complete sincerity that I say it has been the best year of our lives. We are so blessed to have him complete our family.

On a less sentimental note, Brody's big blow-out was on Saturday. We had a great turn out! It had a construction theme and everything turned out pretty cute...excuse me...tough.

The cake!

Everyone enjoying the loot.
