This is Quite the Month!

Brody has learned to crawl, push up from a crawling position to sit, pull himself up (fireplace, couch, crib), balance sitting on his knees/legs and he is getting both of his top teeth (one is already through).

He is the fussiest, most active, momma's boy I have ever seen. His teeth are driving him crazy. He is not normally fussy like this at all! He is SO active - all over the place. Standing, sitting, opening drawers and cabinets - YIKES - I can't keep up. He wants to do so many things and yet just wants me to hold him.

Ahhh, growing up!!

Easter Time

I dressed the kids up today in their easter attire. I wanted to try to get pictures today so we are not rushed on Sunday. Thank goodness I did! We struggled, but did get some cute ones.

Snow pics

Brody out for the first time in the snow.


I love this picture - she is concentrating so hard walking on this snow drift.

Landry had a great time playing in the snow. We hooked the sled on to the tractor and Calvin pulled Landry and I around the pasture. She didn't like it when we fell off the first time, but laughed and hollered, "Let's do it again," every time after that.

We (I) built the snowman the next day. It was fun - I was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and gloves. The snow was melting so quickly - the warmer weather made it nice out to play in the snow.

Brody says, "Momma"

This video was taken March 16th of Brody saying, "Mom" and "Momma". Everyday he gets better at it. Hayley and I went shopping on Sunday and were startled by Brody. We had been walking side by side in JCPenneys. I was pushing the stroller and Hayley was holding Brody. She had to step infront of me to get through the crowds. Out of my sight - Brody very loudly said, "MOMMA!" We were both shocked.

Healthy??

Finally...everyone is healthy. I hate to say that because you never know what may happen in this house. Landry had a visit with the Neurologist yesterday. He is now not sure that she is having seizures, but perhaps a condition called Benign Paroxysmal Vertigo - it is a variation of migraines. All I can say is ..... strange. It fits perfectly in the strange medical condition umbrella that seems to cover our family (Calvin excluded of course). We are to watch her for the next 3 months and observe and journal these episodes that she is having.
At least it's not boring here!!
