Time Flies...

We've been on vacation and back and had a wonderful time! Where else can you go on vacation and worship the Lord with thousands of people? Kingdom Bound! At times you can just imagine what it will feel like when we are in heaven and everyone is singing and lifting their hands to the Lord...it's amazing.

Hudson is not my baby anymore...probably in just the last month or so he has transformed into a boy! I look at him, and I can imagine what he will be like at 5, 6, 7 years old and it is so weird! He will be three on the 31st and I just can't believe it. We are going to have a rip roarin' football party and he is very excited!

Brody is growing more and more each day! He is not a fan of vegetables at all but LOVES his fruits. He will be six months old in just 4 days and I really do LOVE this age! It's the best ever! He is still nursing like a champ and this time I plan to go the full year. The only hard thing about doing that is that I have no motivation to lose weight when I'm breastfeeding. I just feel like my body still isn't altogether mine. But that's selfish I guess...nourishing my baby must be more important! We have Hudson's 3 yr appt and Brody's 6 month appointment schedule for 9/9/09 at 9:30 a.m. Weird right?

Andy is at the college and loving his job! He mows all of the sports fields (special with the lines in them and everything) and he gets a lot of compliments on how straight the lines are and how great the fields look. I'm very proud of him and so fortunate and thankful he has a great job. In today's economy...that's everything.

Cheerleading has started and my schedule is about to get VERY busy. However, I'm the type of person who thrives on having stuff to do, but cheerleading is non-stop until february. By February, I need a break! Wow...Brody will be one in February. Unbelievable! Anyone who knows how to stop time, let me know!

Brody's 4 1/2 Month Stats...

At 4 1/2 months old Brody is 16lbs 5 oz and 26" tall! He is heavier and shorter than Hudson was at his age! My little chunky boy is the most precious thing and most of the time I feel like I could just inhale him! I really love this age and I am trying to take it all in and enjoy it because although I always toy back and forth about having more...this just might be my last baby. Who knows?

He has begun putting himself to sleep for naps which is WONDERFUL! I hope this sticks! Right now was are remodeling our upstairs bathroom (which is right next to Brody's room) and he managed to fall asleep with all of the banging going on in there! I'm shocked! Hudson wouldn't be able to so I put him on the couch and he is out like a light also! So nice...

Well I guess all is well here...maybe I will post some pics of our bathroom. Now that the demolition has begun I probably should have taken some before and afters! Ugh! Oh well!

4TH OF JULY PICS

ZEB & HUDSON IN THE POOL

HANDSOME BOY :0)

Success...I tried the apple flavored cereal and he LOVES it! I know you're not really supposed to start with that but OH WELL! It worked! He has been on cereal once a day for about a week now and he always looks forward to it! Just this morning he was in his walker and I was facing him eating a bowl of cereal and he was getting all excited and everytime I took a bite he was soo mad! Poor thing...I was teasing him. I am seeing him show an interest into food now. He must have realized there is something more than just the breast :0) My only problem is...I don't remember what comes next! How could I forget in just 2 1/2 short years? Amazing. Brody's 4 1/2 month visit is Wednesday and I'm curious to see what his stats are! He's a chunky boy and I love it!

Last week we went to NYC for a visit and I decided to leave Hudson with daddy because I couldn't imagine pushing a stroller around the city but of course...Brody must go wherever I go. I really debated if it would be worth it or not but decided to just give it a whirl. I had planned on carrying him in the baby bjorn but that thing is not at all comfortable for a whole day of sight seeing. I researched some carriers and ultimately decided (the night before we left) to make my own Moby Baby Wrap! I bought 6 yards of stretchy jersey knit material and added my own decorative panel and learned how to wrap it on the internet. That thing was sooooooooooo comfortable and Brody loved it! I also felt like he was all tucked in away from the NYC germs! I was beyond pleased with it and I highly recommend it! They sell for about $60 but I made mine for just $27 and it would have been cheaper if I had brought my coupon!

That's all for now! :0)
