All about Brody

We didn't really do a whole lot this week or weekend, so these are mainly pictures of Brody throughout the week. He is 4 and 1/2 months now, and has his 4 month check up this Tuesday!

Brody dressed in his Arkansas gear for yoga - waiting to watch the Sugar Bowl!

Loving on Daddy during the game!

Just relaxing during a walk around the neighborhood

About to eat a tractor!

Working hard!

Sorry this is sideways!

Jay played football on the Xbox all weekend - we did both run on Saturday though

Dressed in his new outfit from Gram and Pop! We went over to Marshall and Cara's on Saturday night to hang out - we had fun watching football and eating pizza!

This was such a great week! 3 of my best friends ever surprised me and flew from Erie to visit - they told me just a few days before they came! We had the best time together - so many laughs and fun times - thanks so much for coming and making 2010 that much better!

Amy, Beth, Elena, and me - about to go out to dinner while Jay and Brody hang out

Lunch at Do Di Yo's

Another lunch at a Mexican restaurant - we did eat a lot - and watched a ton of Sex and the City episodes!

The 3 of us

Brody checking out the Boston Butt - Gram and Pop gave it to us, and we ate it for dinner while the girls were here - lots of fun times that night!

Thanks again - I love you girls!

Brody ready to go out for New Year's

Jay and I dressed up just to go out for a drink and appetizer before the crowd came out

Later that night, we went to a friend's house for pizza, games, and football. We had a nice time but were in bed by 10pm! On New Year's Day, we just stayed around the house, ate good food, and watched football.

2010 was a great year - Jay and I are so thankful for each other, and that we were blessed with our precious son Brody. We miss all of our friends in Erie, but we have enjoyed our new friends in Birmingham and being closer to family. We are looking forward to the next step of life - our move to Conway this year and being even closer to family and long time friends in Arkansas.

Brody is so happy when he wakes up from a good nap

I almost forgot - Brody rolled over from his back to stomach for the first time on New Year's Eve! He had a little help from the edge of the blanket, but it was still an accomplishment! He hasn't done it again, but gets so close, so anytime now.

Daddy and Brody

Loves Sophie the Giraffe - thanks Gram!

Waving bye!

Merry Christmas 2010!

We went to Wynne to see Gram and Pop and my family for Christmas. Grandma and Papa (the Howell's) were in California for Christmas, so we will see them in January. Brody had such a great 1st Christmas - we all had so much fun!

When we got to Wynne, we went by to see the McFaddens so they could see Brody.
