8 Months!

I can't believe that 8 months has already passed with Brody in our lives. What a fast and crazy 8 months it has been. So far Brody has....
  • gotten 2 bottom teeth and working on more which = one cranky baby!
  • eats stage 2 baby food, loves sweet potatoes, squash, apples, pears, bananas, mac and cheese. does NOT like peaches, carrots, or baby meat.
  • wears size 3 diapers
  • weighs around 19 to 20 pounds
  • is pulling up on everything!
  • thinks that he must taste everything, loves to play with mama's cell phone, the house phone, and the any TV remote.
  • Daddy and Brody love to sneak up and tap me on the shoulder, Brody thinks this is HILARIOUS!
  • has had two ear infections and had to have breathing treatments for an upper respiratory infection.
  • has an interest in Gigi, he hasn't quite figured her out yet. Brody will grab her and she runs from him. Gigi is very protective of him though.
  • has a love/hate relationship with bath time.
  • has a 8 oz bottle before bed and goes to sleep around 8:30 or 9:00 and wakes up between 6 and 7

      First Day of School 2020

       On Monday my babies started back to school. In these uncertain times we had different options on how we would begin school this year. We could do virtual public school, go back to the traditional classroom, or homeschool. At this point my husband and I decided that it would be best for our kiddos to be back in the traditional classroom. There isn't an easy choice about school in these crazy times. Our school is smaller, they are wearing masks, and taking social distancing precautions. We have prayed about our decision and feel we did what is best for our family. I am praying for the parents out there that are having to make choices about what to for school this year, please know I respect whatever choice you make and I know it's not easy.   How did my babies grow up so fast!?! Brody's first last day of elementary school. 4th grade Evie's first day of 2nd grade.  I hope you all have a wonderful week! Hope 

      Sunflowers

      There is a beautiful sunflower that blooms for only about 10-15 days once a year that is about 40 minutes from where we live, but it was well worth the drive. The heat was pretty intense when we first got there, but as time went on a storm started rolling in so that really cooled things off. We had a fun afternoon and I think we ended almost walking two miles before we left.  My sweet babies This handsome boy keeps us laughing.  Oh how we adore this beautiful, silly girl. I'm so thankful for my little family, these two and their Daddy made my dreams of being a wife and Mama come true.  I hope you all have a wonderful and safe week. Hope
