Our sweet and happy baby!

We haven't done too many exciting or big things lately, but here are some pictures of our happy baby!


Look at their expressions - same!

We had a babysitter last weekend and went out with Marshall, Cara, Brad and Andrea

Kissing Daddy's nose!

Crazy hair!

We went to lunch last week with Cara, Andrea and Abigail

Cara kept Brody one day last week - Brody loved playing ball with Penny (Cara's dog). He also learned to kick the ball, which we have been working on more!

Play date at the pool

Not sure how he got all tangled up...



Brody definitely understands the word "kiss" - kissing the dog while shopping

Doing some more shopping on Saturday

Getting Daddy some new running shoes

Brody has started raising his hands like this - sometimes he waves, sometimes he gives high five, and sometimes he just puts them in the air!

Loves to walk while holding our hands

Eating some dinner with the bus driver!

Brody Thomas - 10 months old!

Happy Father's Day! Jay is such a good Daddy - Brody and I are very lucky and we love him so much! We also want to wish my Dad (Pop) and Jay's Dad (Papa) a Happy Father's Day - we love them so much as well and thank them for all they do for us!

Brody is 10 months old today too! He is just so much fun and we can't imagine what our life would be like without him. He weighs 18lb 9oz and is 27.5 inches - both are about the 15th percentile. He is always on the move - he now loves to walk holding our hands and still cruises around all the furniture. We think he will be walking before we leave Alabama - we'll see!

We walked to a local farmer's market last weekend

They had homemade peach ice cream - yummy!

Cheese!

Cara and Marshall came over to eat pizza last weekend as well

Getting ready for church





Crawling everywhere, even under the table

We also went to the park last Sunday

Playdate at Beth and Sophie's house - the balls were a hit!

Brody, Sophie, Jacob and Lillie

Gram came to visit this week - we did lots of shopping to start preparing for our big move!

Brody and me before our Water Babies class

I love the pool!

Gram and Brody shopping for fabric

Hiding in the cabinet!

Playing at the library with Gram

Happy 10 months Brody - we love you so much!

Balls, books and brushing my teeth!

These are the things Brody loves right now - throwing balls, reading books, and brushing his teeth! He is getting pretty good at throwing the ball back and forth. He is also in the process of getting 2 top teeth, so he will have more to brush soon!

Brushing my teeth with the wrong end!

Playing at the library

Papa and Grandma Howell came to visit this weekend, and we had a great time playing with Brody!

After his bath

We went to the farmer's market Saturday morning in downtown Bham

Trying to get Papa's hair

Jay and I got to have a date night Saturday night - it was a lot of fun! Thanks Grandma and Papa for keeping Brody!

What are these crazy things on my feet??

Brody didn't like his shoes AT ALL! He didn't want to stand up in them at first, so we are trying to put them on him every now and then when we go outside so he will get used to them.

We took Brody swimming on Tuesday afternoon

Eating a snack!

Trying out some more shoes!

Picking out some books to read

Poor baby hasn't felt good the past few days - he has been running a fever, but it is just a virus, and hopefully he will feel better soon! He sure does like to cuddle when he is sick though!
