Life of Brody

I know that it seems at times that all we do is sit around and take pictures of our son...and sometimes that is sadly the truth. he is just so fun and cute! but, i am trying to do better with the "out and about" shots. i have never been good about that. i am just too busy enjoying what we are doing to think about where the camera is, and sticking it in everyone's face and asking them to smile. but, i am vowing improvement, as it makes for a better blog (and, come on, isn't that what life is really about?), and i have much better memories on record. so, without further dialogue, here are more pics of the B-man doing funny and cute things. and hang on, people, for more action in the future. i promise you that we do leave the house on occasion.


so - what are we looking at? well, i went in to check on Brody during a nap, and could not help but capture the blanket-over-the-head look. i do check his breathing pretty regularly...i have had my moments of parental panic at the site of that...


It's Bathtime...in the kitchen sink! He has loved splashing and playing with BeBeep (that is his grandma) in the non-backbreaking makeshift bathtub.



And we are eating...at the table! Like everyone else! yeah!! Except, I do not don a Dr. Seuss bib for my meals...



And, finally, his cousin Betsy lovin' on him...he has soaked up the attention he has been getting in Moultrie.

5 months

well, the Ray's are a-movin' and a-shakin'... some of us by choice - others of us are left to catch up. we made it to Moultrie and are now somewhat settled in.



As we have been busy with new surroundings, Adam with his new job, new schedules,new cell phone numbers, etc., Brody has also been busy with new things as well. He is now sitting up like it's nothing, and up on all fours as of yesterday.

He is busy indeed. and my supervision of his activities has increased a notch or two. no more leaving the room for "just a sec" to find the phone, get the laundry, use the bathroom...yup- we are more attached than ever. he actually fell off the bed last week, so i have become insanely aware of his new abilities and am adjusting to them. It does help immensely to have extra help - the Ray family has been a Godsend for me. I find myself wondering how we do it without an extra set of hands.

i wanted to post a few pictures from the past month, the first is Brody at his grandpa's...




can you tell he is mesmerized by the guitar? no? really?






and his chance in the spotlight...picture with the beautiful bride:





ignore the red eye please, we are trying to practice patience, yall, NO NEW CAMERA UNTIL CHRISTMAS!



we also went on out friends' boat one last time before leaving...and Brody got his first shot in it:






and we have one tired pup...long days on the water will do that to ya.



and we have our favorite captain Dave to thank...we miss him and his family already...








Brody has been immersed into the social realms of Moultrie - all his family has come to visit. He has been aptly social - as social as a non-talker can be i suppose. in any case, he enjoys the attention of his extended family - especially his cousins. he just stares and smiles at them - he loves being with the "big boys". i will show pictures when i can - once again i refer you to the camera problems.

well, more of our life as it happens...just wanted everyone to know we are alive and well in south georgia.
