Brody-9 Months

Mr. Brody is now 9 months old. To celebrate, DMPS cancelled classes so I could spend the day with him.....or because it was too cold to go outside. =) Our day was spent playing with Nolan, eating, napping, celebrating with a little cake...(just a taste-it was mostly so Nolan could blow out a candle and sing), and then a bath. The life of a baby-how nice!
