My Firetruck

Mommy was able to get a video of me on my firetruck! I'd been saying "Whooo, Whooo" for the firetruck all morning, but I just didn't feel like telling Mommy what the firetruck says when she asked me!!!


Feeding Myself!

Brian has started to feed himself with a spoon! It is really adorable! I took this short video while he was eating breakfast!!

14 Months Old

Mommy is posting a lot of random pictures of all Brian is doing lately! He's finally figured out this whole walking deal and is on the move (even though he still prefers to hold mommy's hand!). He loves to ride on his firetruck that we are borrowing from our friends Adrienne, Caleb, and Ben while they are in Papua New Guinea. He knows what an elephant says, a dog, and of course he makes his firetruck sounds! We're not hearing a lot of new words, but he's got "more" and "please" down pat!!

Enjoy the pictures!
My firetruck and my cookies!! Perfect!

I can make the lights flash and the siren sound!


Look Mommy, I'm driving!!

Daddy was enjoying this just as much as I was!

Mema Velma's piano is great!

John didn't think I should eat the mulch at the park!

I love the park!

Wheeee!! John and me on the slide!

The BIG drum at Kindermusik!

So much fun!!

Hi Mommy!

Checking my email on my first Blackberry!

Watching Caroline and James at Gymnastics - with my snacks, of course!

My new buddy Sean!
He's 9 months old and our neighbors' foster child they're hoping to adopt!

Look at that, Sean!!

Our Stud Muffin!

Too cute not to post!

Way too precious!

Easter 2010

We had a really good Easter this year! The week before Easter we drove to Fairview, TN and surprised Nana K and Papa G with a visit!!! They were so excited to see us - Nana K even cried! We had so much fun with Aunt Amy and Uncle Andrew while we were there and Nana K's sister, Aunt Pat was there for the weekend, too!!! I don't think Papa G really knew what to do with us all! We had a wonderful trip and Brian did amazingly good on the 10 hour trip! Praise the Lord!

Easter weekend, we took Brian to a free Easter carnival on Walnut Street in Cary for his first Easter Egg hunt! He actually found 5 eggs! Ok, so he found the first two and was perfectly content with one in each hand and Mommy helped him find a few more! Our friends Heather, Gavin, and Gage were there, too!

Easter Sunday was wonderful as always!

I found one!!

The grass was almost as tall as me!

My Daddy and Me!

Hey Mommy, let's go find some eggs!

I'm not so sure about this Easter Bunny!

I wanted to take my brush with me to church!

Mommy and Me Easter Morning!

My Easter Basket!

Of course the Yogurt Melts are my favorite!!

Look at all this great stuff!!

13 Months

I apologize for not posting in such a long time! We continue to trust God for His strength and endurance DAILY (and many times, minute by minute). It's been a roller coaster for us over the last few weeks/months, but we continue to believe in God's faithfulness and goodness!

Mommy continues to be at home with me!! I LOVE IT! We go to the library for storytime, take lots of walks with my wagon, play with friends, and go to Kindermusik every week! Mommy had two interviews a couple of weeks ago with Raleigh Rescue Mission - they were looking for a Pre-K teacher. We said lots of prayers for mommy because she really wanted the job, but God wanted her to stay at home with me!! I'm really glad He decided that was best!

Daddy continues to LOVE culinary school and is doing REALLY well! He brings home LOTS of great new recipes and practices making them at home! Brian eats like a champ!! He tries all of daddy's dishes (that don't have seafood in them!) and has really liked all of them so far! We are so blessed to not have a picky eater - for now, anyway!! Brian has 6 teeth coming in on the top!! ALL his front teeth decided to come in at almost the same time! (oh, how much fun it has been!!!) But he's a trooper and LOVES to crunch his cheerios (multi-grain, of course!) with his new teeth!

Brian has taken a few steps on his own, but he's not really ready to let go of mommy's finger and walk on his own! He's a pretty cautious little guy - when he knows for sure that he can do it, we're sure he's going to take off!! Mommy's not really that anxious for Brian to walk anyway, he is already fast enough on his knees!!

Enjoy the pictures!!

Major static electricity!!

Mommy and Aunt Amy LOVE my baby mohawk!!

One Cool Dude!! (You talkin' to me?!?)

My first shirt from Las Vegas!! Thanks Uncle Andrew!

Heart Breaker!!
