Mexico!!

Brody's first trip to Mexico...and he had the time of his life! He was definitely the kid of the resort, just about everyone there knew his name by the end of the week! He loved to dance to all the music, by the end of the week he was running in the sand, and the ocean was captivating, although a bit scary for him. He had lots of fun with Oma and Opa and so did we!! Besides all of us (except for Oma) getting sick with a 24 hour flu, we all had a great time. Until the next time....

Brody's First Haircut

Brody had his first haircut yesterday, just in time to go to Mexico tomorrow!! He was super good. He never cried at all, although he was a bit serious as you can see. Now he definitely looks more like a little boy, no more baby mullet!!

Christmas 2007

Christmas was fun this year. Brody was definitely more into it now that he is a bit older. Although he was more excited about wrapping paper than most of his gifts!

Brody and Taylor exchanged gifts a couple days before Christmas Day.

Brody had lots of fun Christmas day opening presents, playing with his new toys and hanging out with Mommy, Daddy, Oma and Opa. Max had to get in on some of the action too!!

A sibling for Brody...

Yes, we are expecting again!! We didn't waste any time...we wanted our children to be close in age. Which is exactly what we got, since they will only be a mere 19 months apart! We are SUPER excited. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our newest little addition. Baby is due on June 14. And No, we will NOT be finding out the sex...sorry everyone....it will remain a secret just like Brody! SO...what do you think...boy or girl??

Brody's 1st Birthday!!!

Wow! I can't believe he already turned 1!! This year has gone by so fast and our little baby is turning into such a little boy! He had a blast at his birthday party. He was spoiled with gifts from everyone, very much enjoyed his first experience with cake and played with all his little cousins and friends. It was definitely a good day!

Brody is Walking

Brody is walking!! Talk about being busy now.....He is so cute(I know I am a little biased)!! He took his first steps on Sunday, October 28. Thank Goodness I was actually home for it!!
He seems to have become an expert in only a few shorts weeks of practice. Although he still walks with "stiff legs". Here he is in action...

Halloween 2007

Brody's first Halloween...he was a zebra. A very cute zebra with a cool black mohawk! He had no clue about getting candy and what was going on...but mommy and daddy sure had fun! We only visited the people we know in the neighbourhood, maybe next year he can go around the block! He did get to hang out with his cousin Hayden for a bit...who was a very cute elephant! The two of them are so fun together!!

Into EVERYTHING!

Brody is totally into everything now. I turn my back and before you know it he is in the tupperware cupboard, hauling everything out and getting in it! He loves to play peek-a-boo with anything he can put over his own face, playing with daddy's hats and singing songs with Oma.I can't believe he is going to be 1 soon, he is getting to be such a little man!!

Waterton, AB

The weekend before I started back to work, we decided to take a little family trip, so we went to Waterton for the weekend. It is in Southern Alberta right on the water. Beautiful...and we had a blast with the three of us. We stayed in a nice hotel, did lots of walking, looking at deer (there were tons!), did some shopping, and rented a double bike with Brody in the front seat. He loved it!

Wow...time flies!

Brody is already 10 months! Time goes by so fast. He is almost walking, he loves to walk with help from his "walking toys" and stands all by himself with great pride. He is still a very happy little man and smiles and laughs all the time. I am gearing up to go back to work on October 1st. It is kind of bitter sweet....I am looking forward to working again, but can't imagine anyone taking as good a care of Brody as myself. I will miss him immensely, but Scott and I have found a very good daycare that we feel super comfortable with. I think it will be a good experience for all of us!!
