Where have I been??

I feel like I don't even really know! Hahahaha... 

The reality is that Brodes and I have just been busy living life. He is getting 4 new teeth. It's so cute to see all these little teefers in his smile now. :) He is also saying thank you now. It's really cute. Mostly when I kiss him. :) AND he says owwww when he falls whether or not it hurt, you can just tell. He looks at me and smiles with amusement when he does it. I will tell you that I am  not very convinced that he is hurt. :) Probably the most fun has been watching him develop his walking skills. He is starting to walk as much as crawl but crawling still gets him around faster. He took his first steps at 11 months but I wouldn't have considered him officially walking until about now. I think in a week or two he will be completely walking. It's amazing because he first stood up at 9 months. I thought it would take a little time but I figured he would walk in about 2 months. It's taken over 3 months and he still isn't walking all the time. It's amazing how long it can take but I bet it takes awhile to build up the strength in those little legs. Well I will be posting some walking pictures here in the next day or so. Very fun. 

Anyway, our biggest time consumer at this point is that we are going to Y almost daily. I love it. It's not easy for me to always get together with other moms or my girlfriends. Some of my friends that are moms live a distance away, and a lot of women I know work during the day. So the Y has been a great outlet for me, and maybe I will meet some more moms there. I am soooo excited to report that Brody and I will be starting swimming lessons in 2 weeks!!! YEAH! I LOVE swimming and have always wanted to teach my kids swimming at a young age. We took Brody swimming last week for the second time. The first time we ever took him it was horrible, he screamed the whole time. The water was cold and he was still kind of young. For over a week after that experience he would scream every time we gave him a bath. Luckily this experience was 100x better. He LOVED it, he was squealing and smiling. We even dunked him a couple of times. I will say that he is still getting used to that but he handled it great!

So what else have we been up to. Well I mentioned that Brody is getting 4 teeth but did I mention that we are back to sleepless nights. Poor guy. Two nights in a row he was up 3-4 hours in the middle of the night. Which is another reason why I have been quiet during the day. So that is us. There are a bunch of new pictures and I can't wait to share them. They are more humorous then anything. So stay posted and thanks for not giving up on me. I am still here! :)
