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!

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!

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!

Babble Dabble!

Brody is really talking now! He says lots of "blahs", "bas", "nas", and of course "da das"! His 6th month old check up was this week (a little late) and everything was great. He was 16lb 1oz (~30th%), 26 3/4 in (~60th%) and head circ was 17 1/2 in (50th%).

We had a playdate with some friends at Homewood park - beautiful weather!

Saturday we went to Salsaritas to get lunch and spent the rest of the rainy day inside just playing

Daddy and sweet baby!

Sunday afternoon, Jay took Brody to Best Buy for a guy's day out - also to get him used to not being with his Mommy 24/7! He did better at church this week though - as long as they pushed him in the stroller!

We went to Jim-n-Nicks on Sunday night. We have started giving Brody little puff snacks, similar to cheerios, and he loves them! As you can see, they don't always get in his mouth!

Hanging out!
