Seven Months

This week started out with my first Mother's Day and Brody turning seven months. Jim and Brody did a great job with my mother's day gifts - Brody made a card and got flowers for me and Jim bought me a digital photo album that I can carry in my purse. On Sunday we spent the day with my parents, brother, Grandma and Aunt, Uncle and two cousins. Brody was the hit of the weekend with all of his laughter and talking. At church they were giving out balloons on Sunday so Jim got one for Brody - he loved it! Below I posted a video of him playing with it at my parents.

Brody had a few illnesses this week but nothing too big. I think the two bottom teeth that are coming in have made him a lot less patient. Most nights he prefers to be sitting with one of us or being held. By the time it hits 7 o'clock it is a lost cause and he cries when things are not just the way he would like. He has been sleeping well at night - even going to bed around 7:30pm some nights - may be he is going through a growing spurt too.

This weekend we will all be participating in the Relay for Life. The office I work at is very involved with the local event and this is my first year participating. I really appreciate everyones support - Brody and I raised about $300!

Hope everyone is having a good week! I will be trying to take Brody's seven month pictures this weekend so I should have some to post next week.
