Handsome boy

These days, it's getting harder and harder to get a good picture of Brody, since he's always on the move. But the other day I got this one. He is always sooo excited just to be standing up, while holding onto something....he can let go, but he's too scared to! The the other day I was trying to get a picture of him crawling, and by the time the camera took the picture he was right in the lens! I thought....not a great picture, but too darn cute to delete. Also, Brody's new thing is to push anything around the house that will move. He has developed quite a temper though, because once he has pushed the toy into the wall, or get stuck on a tile....he will scream until you help him get un-stuck (as you will see in the video).

Soooo happy to be standing up!

Easter Egg Hunt

Our neighborhood was supposed to have an Easter Egg Hunt last Saturday morning, but sadly about 10 minutes before it was supposed to start, it started raining.....and rained most of the day. So, since we had already gotten Sophie excited about it the night before, we had to let her find Easter eggs in our living room...which she found equally exciting!

Her new Easter dress.....good thing it was warmer inside!

She found them pretty fast, should have hid them better!

I guess Brody had fun too, when Sophie shared an egg with him.

First Swim Day

This past weekend, my Aunt and Uncle decided to heat up their pool so everyone could swim. So, it was out first swim day of the season! Sophie needs to refresh her swim skills, but overall, did pretty well. She was soooo tried that she fell asleep in the car on the ride home (which she hasn't ever done, since birth), then once we got home around 4:30pm she asked to go lay down in her bed! Brody had a great time too. He had to stay in a float since he hasn't started his swim lessons yet. He will start the second week in April though!

Brody wanted to try on Daddy's sunglasses

New Toy

Basically we only have boys living around us in our neighborhood, so Sophie gets to hang out with them a lot. Our neighbor across the street got a new skateboard for Christmas, and decided the other day that Sophie could have his old one. He had to show her what to do with it, because naturally she didn't know. But now it's her favorite toy to play with outside!

Crazy Hair

I have been trying to think about a theme that I might want to do for Brody's 1st birthday that we'll be doing with family. I noticed that in his wardrobe, he has a lot of rocker T-shirts, so I thought I'd go with the rockstar theme. Then I started thinking that maybe he could have a mohawk that day, to go along with the theme. So in the bathtub the other night I thought I'd see if his hair would even go into a mohawk! Cute pictures came out of that idea. Then of course Sophie wanted one too, not so great on girls with long hair.

You can even see his 2 bottom teeth he has

Sophie, not too sure about her hair
