Outside With Dad

Jer decided to trim up one of our apple trees in the yard. While he was outside, he was moving the four wheeler and Brody saw him and sprinted toward him. So Jer gave him a little ride around our yard. Brody had a blast. I got some really good pictures too.

I'm Getting Big

It seems like just yesterday that Brody was born. This first year has gone by so fast. I swear that he grows bigger everyday and learns something new just as fast. I have been so worried that I will miss him doing something new while I am at school, and Jer feels the same way while he is at work. It has grown harder and harder to leave him and go. This last weekend he stood up and took his first steps with the help of his John Deere tractor. We both felt so excited to see him take his first steps. I will have to get those pictures downloaded and posted soon. He is getting better and better at standing up and balancing by himself while he claps his hands. He is just getting too big too fast, but we are enjoying every minute of it, even though in the same thought we think it would be nice if he it could just go a bit slower. Ha-Ha.

These pictures show his sharp little teeth pretty good. He chews on everything he can get his hands on, he was chewing on a piece of dog food the other day! I definitely have to keep an eye on him!!!

Early Birthday Present

Brody had a birthday present sent a little early so we went ahead and opened it. He was scared of the puppet at first but then liked it after he got use to it. Now he likes to play with it and enjoys watching dad make it jump all over.

Making Cookies With Mom

Brody is always so helpful. He loves to do whatever I am doing. He helps me do schoolwork, he helps me on the computer, when I am cooking dinner, when I am doing dishes, whatever it is he is right there trying to help me. So these are pictures of him helping me make Jer cookies one night. He had a spoon and help to stir and mix and everything. He made really good cookies for his first time.

Outside

These are just some pictures from outside. Brody had a stick in his hand he kept shaking and it was so cute. Of course, as soon as I brought the camera out he decided he needed to come and investigate what that was all about. The other picture in the suburban is when Jer took him for a ride down by the river when I was at work one day. Brody thinks he is such a big boy. He likes to sit behind the steering wheel and pretend to drive. If the radio is on, he will stand and bounce at the steering wheel. I have been looking for a steering wheel toy to put on his carseat so he can "drive" when he is in the car but so far I haven't found what I have been looking for.

Goose Blind

Jeremy bought a new blind for goose hunting this year. Brody had a good time playing in it. I had some pictures with him and Jer but for some reason they didn't come up. I will have to try to get them up again to post. Anyway, he is getting big too fast. He has his own duck call and he tries to practice with Jer, mostly he just chews on it. He has three teeth on top and three on bottom and is cutting three more it looks like.
