Primarily for Grownups, Not just for Grownups anymore!

Brody loves to be outside, so I take him for walks before his naps. (He loves it, and it helps wear him out!) Today he discovered the fire hydrant. He walked up to it, stared at it, then walked away. He only went a few feet before he turned around and walked back. Then he finally got up the nerve to touch it. He continued to turn, walk a few feet away, and go back and touch it for about ten minutes. I tried to get him to walk around with me and check out the neighborhood, but if we got too far away he would just try to sit down and crawl away from me. I gave in. We spent our walk time hanging out by the fire hydrant.

Par-tay!

Brody's first birthday party was a blast. We ate, played, enjoyed talking to friends and family, and had a great time. Here are some pictures from the big day.

Can you believe this little boy...

Then and Now

Last Labor Day weekend I went shopping with a good friend, got sick, and ended up in the ER late at night with stomach cramps (which I found out later were actually contractions). I was put on bedrest and a week later Brody was born. So far this Labor Day weekend has been more relaxing.

Hope you are enjoying the long weekend as much as we are!!
