Happy Birthday Brodey!!

Has it been a whole year already? This year has gone by so fast. They made me move my baby from the baby room to the toddler room this week and today is his first birthday! Brodey has been such a joy to add to our family. His eyes and that smile....mmmm they just melt my heart. Here is a little slideshow of a few pics from birth to one year. there is an arrow on bottom right you have to click on to see all the pages.

Brodey, happy birthday big boy... all about you as a one year old.

*you are walking! very good. you topple over a lot, but you walk everywhere...crawling is for babies!
*you can go down the stairs by yourself! much to my dismay and a few tumbles, but you keep at it!
*you can say, Hi, Halli, mom, dad, num num, ah oh, peek a boo, oh, no, whats that,
and you mimnick words all the time, but don't say them by yourself just yet. you have always been a talker and you deffinatley let yourself be heard.
*you hate all green food...no green veggies for you. but you love sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, anything that is yellow or orange. I would have to say you are for sure a picky eater, I would say mostly meat and potatoes for you. you love crunchy stuff like apples and crackers and chips.
*you love to sing to the beetles. and your abc's
*balls are your favorite toy. you can throw balls all day. you and max actually play fetch it is really cute. my favorite is when you are walking and bend over, pick up a huge ball, throw and say, OH!
*when we ask you how old you are, you can hold up your finger...I'm one!
*you love your binky for bed, but do not like it during the day.
*4 teeth on top and 4 teeth on bottom!
*stopped nursing at 10 months by your own choice.
*you wave and say Hi to everybody we come across when we are out in public, and I get stopped all the time so people can look and talk to you...thats cause your just so cute!
*I still don't know what color your eyes are! they are brown and green and blue!!??
we will have to wait that one out.
*you HATE mom and dads bed. you will not even get on it when we are not sleeping.
I don't know why...but I guess it's a good thing. you have to sleep in your own bed, you rarely fall asleep anywhere else.
*you love to play peek a boo! and do it every time we have a diaper change.
*you army crawled all the way till you were almost walking.
*your a daddys boy. I wish I could say you were a mommas boy, but you and dad have always had a special connection, even before you were born. And you will pick him over me most of the time.
*your favorite books are, the animal book, little feet like, and barney is so big.
*Halli and ethan are your best buds, they play with you all the time and you always just hang out with them. I love it when you guys crawl around on the living room carpet and rub your heads on the ground. it is wierd, but cute!
*you are so much like me...you have this firey little personality and get frustrated and mad easily, it;s so funny to watch you throw little fits and throw your bottle!
I love that your colorong is dark like mine. people tell me all the time how much you look like me.
*you give kisses and hugs
*LOve to take baths! love to swim and be in the water. from the very first time we put you in the pool, you could sit in a floaty all day and be happy!
I think you gonna be a little dare devil. you have no fear!

Me and daddy are just so happy you came to our home and blessed us with your amazing spirit. we can not imagine life without you in it. This has been such a fun year.
I can't wait for all the rest to come. we love you sweet boy!
