Happy Birthday Broden!!!

Our sweet little Broden turned one today! I can't believe a year ago I was laying in a hospital bed holding my 8lbs 4oz 21 in baby boy. Brody was the calmest baby I could ever imagine. He just wanted to be cuddled all the time. I could just lay down on the couch with him and fall asleep, knowing he would do the same. Unfortunately, this was the calm before the storm! Brody found his lungs, and boy can he scream! Since he found those lungs to this very day, we hear his ear piercing scream many times a day. I look forward to the day he decides to actually try talking! His rock star hair has always won peoples hearts over, along with his cheesy smile. He is a walking machine now, and loves following Neacel around the house. Neacel doesn't always love it though, I don't blame him. Brody loves getting into my bucket of cleaning supplies under the kitchen sink...while many freak out over the thought of me not moving them, please know that he just likes to throw things on the floor and walk away. He has no interest in them, just wants to watch me clean up a million times a day. Nick and I have said the Neacel was tough, but Broden has been tougher. He still isn't sleeping through the night (someone please help me) he has no interest in talking and is growing faster then we imagined. He is wearing 18-24 month clothing...and its starting to get tight! Im so thankful to have him in our family, he is so much fun to be around and just loves everyone. He has such a sweet spirit. Im so thankful that Heavenly Father trusted Nick and I to raise this soul and to teach him all that we know so that when his time comes he can return to his Heavenly Father! We are having a birthday party for the boys on the 12th. Ill have birthday pictures up then from the party of both the boys. Tonight we took him out to dinner and he got a cookie. Nothing huge but something considering dinner was at 8! Mommy, Daddy and Neacel love you Brody, thanks for being such a fun baby! One year down, many many more to go...lets hope he stops screaming!!! Ill have to get it on video so you can hear what we experience!

Here are some pictures from the last year with our loud big bundle of joy!
