So far behind!

Wow! How time has flown by. The last time I updated this I had just had Brody. He is now almost nine months old. It has been so much fun seeing how quickly things change with him. He is now crawling, eating solids, taking two good naps during the day, loving to play in his bubbles, and loving to talk. He has such a laid back personality and is so go with the flow. He makes me think this whole kid thing is easy...but our family keeps telling us to wait! Our trying times with him are soon to come, I suppose. Watching him play, smile and sleep simply makes my heart smile. We are so blessed with this little boy.

It has been a fun summer. Brody has gotten in a lot of quality time with aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and great grandparents. I have enjoyed my time off with him this summer; August will be especially hard - - when it is time to go back to work. I am not even going to think about that just yet!

I had my first night experience away from him last week. I thought I would be in shambles and completely consumed with thinking about him. BUT, surprisingly, I did pretty well! It was a nice "break" and it helped knowing he was in good hands with his "Wowo", my mom.

It may be a different story when we, Zach and I, will be gone from him for 4 nights. We are headed to Mexico with two other couples for a little vacation. I can't deny the fact that I am pretty pumped about lying on the beach, hanging out with great friends, and getting a tan!

The pictures below are a random assortment. Since I have a lot of catching up to do, there are photos of him from when he was one month old all the way up to now. We were so lucky to have a good friend from home take some professional shots of him. Here are the ones she took when he was one month old - thanks Ashley! :)
