Brody-1 Year Photos

Brody took some great photos for his 1st birthday! We can't believe he is ONE!

Brody-13 months

Brody is a walking running, babbling, giggling, laughing, and playing 13 month old. This past month he has really started to "talk" a lot and show us just how adventurous he is. He loves to try to climb the fireplace and stairs without us near by. He knows he's not supposed to do it, but still tries. I don't think he is quite the rule follower Nolan was at this age.

Happy Easter!

Just a few pictures from our Easter. (It was the same weekend as Brody's 1st birthday party!) We participated in an Easter Egg Hunt in the Waterbury neighborhood. Nolan enjoyed finding lots of candy and eggs! We had our own celebration at our house, and then at my Uncle Franks's. The weather was perfect and the boys loved being outside!
