Standing up!

Brody is becoming more and more active all the time! He can move around, sit up when he wants from his belly, loves to stand up holding on to something, and even pulled up by himself - in the bathtub! I caught him trying to do it in his bed last night, but he didn't get it - soon though! He still wants to crawl so bad, but can't get it yet!

Jay's parents came for a visit this weekend to spend time with Brody - lots of fun! It will be so nice to be closer when we move to Conway!

Cooking out Friday night

Playing with Grandma

Reading with Papa

Having lunch at Surin - yummy! It was Grandma and Papa's first Thai food!

I bought this table for $4 at a consignment sale so Brody could stand up and lean on it, which he loves!

So here is the bathtub pulling up story...

Considering it...

I did it!! He slipped soon after, but he still did it!

Playing by myself!

Brody Thomas - 7 months old!

Brody is 7 months old now! He wants to crawl so bad, but he can't get it just yet. He can move around and get what he wants though. He is starting to sit up in his bed after we lay him down, which is a good accomplishment, but he just wants to play instead of nap!

On Wednesday, Brody and I drove to Wynne to visit my parents for a couple of days while Jay worked. We had a lot of fun but missed Daddy!

Brody and Pop

"Look, no hands!" Brody just loves watching his cousin Tom!

Daddy's home! We were so excited to see him!

Friday night we out to eat, and ate outside - it was beautiful!

Jay and I both ran Sunday morning, then went to church. Brody still doesn't like going to the nursery!

Sunday afternoon, Jay played Ultimate Frisbee with some guys at a park by our house, and Brody and I watched. Jay is still sore from that!

We went to California Pizza Kitchen Sunday night. We had pizza and Brody had peas and pears!

Springtime in Alabama

It has been beautiful weather here the past few weeks, and we are taking advantage of the wonderful spring here. Jay and I have been running outside with the jogging stroller, we have had several playdates outside (I don't have pictures from all of them), and we are starting to cookout again. Jay and I are both ready to own a house again so we can do yard work and I can plant flowers on nice days. Jay looks at houses online everyday, and we are going to try to actually find one in May.
We went to the zoo last week with a few friends, but it rained, so we just hung out at the food court and chatted!


My friend Lisa and her sweet Isla

Just playing...what I do best!



Playing in the kitchen floor!

Trying so hard to crawl!! He is starting to get on his knees, so we are getting closer!

I love my Daddy!

On Saturday we met Marshall, Cara, Brad and Andrea at the Home and Garden show. We just looked around and ate lots of food. We went out for dinner afterwards too. Our great friends from Erie also met us for dinner Saturday night - they were on their way back to Erie. It was great to see them and we are thankful for such great friends - in both Erie and Birmingham!




Sweet sleeping baby!

Out to lunch in downtown Birmingham

Today, we had a playdate at Dayna and Jacob's house - there were 6 baby boys and 1 little girl there! We had a great time playing and eating good food!
