TEETH!!!!

Brody has two teeth!!!!! This past week Brody was acting more hungry than normal, so he was just a little fussy. So I just thought he was just growing more. Thursday I was feeling around his mouth and I felt a little bump. Friday I put my finger in his mouth to feel the bump and he bit me and he bit me hard..!! That was when I found out he had teeth. I looked and saw he had two teeth. He really gave no indications that he was teething, except drooling, which has been very normal for him ever since day one. He is just getting so big. We are having fun trying new foods and actually making our own baby food, it’s a great way to save money. He is really beginning to like green beans. Mike really likes that, they are his favorite.

What a cute laugh!!!

I was able to take this and it turned out rather nice. It is a little dark, sorry about that, but I hope that ya’ll can hear his cute little laugh. Mike and I are always trying to find ways to get Brody to laugh. He will smile and just hold in his laugh and turn so red. I also have to make sure that Brody does not see the camera because he likes to look at it and grab at it so he will stop laughing or doing what ever he is doing so we do not always get the picture that we wanted. So I’m surprised that I was able to take this as long as I did.

Our life

It is amazing how fast life changes. It has been four and a half months since Brody was born and life has just gone so fast. Brody is getting so big and we are having so much fun with him. He is really a happy baby. He always laughs and smiles at us and at everyone around us. He really loves the ladies, and just gives them all a look that they can’t resist. It is really scary how the girls just flock to him. I hope this is not an indication of what his teenage years are going to be like. Brody is growing and getting big. He weighs 13lbs. 15oz. and is 26 ½ in. long. Because he is doing so well we have started him on rice cereal, which has been fun to watch.

Mike is still working hard and going to school. He does not like his classes, and has not liked some of the things that are being taught. They bring up the church and say the church is doing things wrong. We have decided to take action and write to the dean of the department about the professor. We do not know what it will do, but at least they will know that it offended a student in the class.

I am enjoying my classes, and I am starting to figure out how to balance everything I get to do during the day. It’s pretty fun. I am setting up my internships and hope to be able to fit it all into my schedule next semester and summer semester. And then I will be done. Wahoo!!!!

Our new rides!

Well, we only had Brody’s stroller for four months and it broke. So with the money we got back from the refund we bought Brody a new ride here it is… A jeep stroller, it is an awesome jogger and it rides so smooth!!!

Now that we have Brody we decided that we needed a more family friendly vehicle. We love our truck, but really I got tired of having to sit straight up. That was the only way we could fit the car seat in. We have been looking for a car and this is what we found and for a great price. Here is our new ride a silver Pontiac vibe, and we love it. And the gas mileage is great.

Brody's Friend

Meet Holly, Brody's friend. During the day when I am at school, Brody goes over to Holly's house to play. And then on the days I don't go to school Stephanie brings Holly over to play with Brody at our place. It really works out for the both of us. I have someone to watch Brody when I go to school and Stephanie has someone to watch Holly when she goes to work. Both of us are grateful that it is working out. The price of daycare is outragous. They really have fun playing together. And Brody is nothing like his parents, all animated and stuff...

Here's the news with us...

Well life around here is going so fast… It has been so fun just watching Brody grow. It seems that daily he changes and gets bigger. He is developing a great personality, and loves to be around people and be the center of attention. He really just rolls with the punches, and enjoys life. Unless he is hungry and then every thing has to stop and he thinks he is going to die if he doesn’t get food in his belly FAST!!! I did find out that Brody can sit through the entire movie A Bugs Life. He was calm the entire way through. Brody at just 2 ½ months likes to sit in front of the TV, oh so sad. He is always doing things that just make me laugh.

Mike transferred to a satellite facility that is only 5 minutes away from home. He is really enjoying it. He gets along so well with the staff he works with at the new facility and enjoys going to work. He is much happier there and I’m so glad. And he gets to come home for lunch so Brody and I like that part of it. He will also be taking a couple of night classes that will also keep him busy.

I am just enjoying being with Brody. School starts for Mike and I next week, and we can’t wait. Really I’m not ready at ALL. It is a little scary thinking of all of the things that I have to do now. It is one thing to go to school and have all that fun stuff, now there is a family on top of that. It will be lots of work. I just remember that there have been many people before me that have done the same thing. I’m not alone out there.

We are all doing well and love all of the new adventures that we have had and can’t wait to have more!!!!

Look who is going to be the next Olympian...

Sorry about the bad video it's off of my phone. It was just so darn cute! Well Brody just absolutly loves the bath. He could stay in the tub for hours, he gets upset when I take him out, he could be turning purple and still get mad when I take him out. I'm even teaching him "on your marks, get set, GO". Right now he just loves the clapping and cheering him on. So look out everyone here comes the next Michael Phelps....
