6 Month Pictures

Brody will be 6 MONTHS OLD TOMORROW!! I can't believe it. I decided to do Brody's 6 month pictures myself. A very, very good friend of ours has a beautiful house on a beautiful piece of land so that is where we did the photo shoot. Brody wasn't quite feeling like being a model as we got very few smiles. But we got some good pics, nonetheless.

Rory, Brody, and Tom

What a male.....he was all smiles after I let him go inside and sit on the sofa : )

He eats!

Brody has been eyeing our food while we eat for weeks. Then he started waking up around 2-3am-ish acting like I never feed him. (But, really, does it look like I don't feed the child?? : ) ) So I decided that it was about time to add some variety to his meal plan. For the past 5 1/2 months he has been strictly mommy milk. The following photos describe how the introduction of food has gone....

Day #1:

Reaction: "What are you sticking in my mouth?...This isn't working...How am I supposed to suck this crap off the spoon?...Forget this."

Time Elapsed: 15 minutes

Day #2:

Reaction: "Ok, this is better...I like this fruit stuff you've added. Nice choice....I'm still not understanding that I can't suck this stuff off the spoon."

Time Elapsed: 10-15 minutes

Day #3:

Reaction: "I get it now! I open my mouth and you stick the spoon in....This isn't so bad after all."

Time Elapsed: 5-10 minutes

Day #4:

Reaction: "Forget this oatmeal cereal/fruit stuff, Mommy! Bring on the steak and potatoes!"

Time Elapsed: 30 seconds

I don't think we have a picky eater on our hands. He is LOVING his food!

Buddies

These pics were taken the day after Ethan was born. I've just been a little slow to get them posted. : ) Brody and Ethan are going to be buddies, I can already tell. Although, in this first picture it looks like Brody could eat Ethan! haha

I like how it looks like Brody is really talking to Ethan in this picture. He's probably saying, "You better just get used to this whole picture taking thing. They're a bit ridiculous with their cameras."

Going in for a hug : ) How sweet!

Ok, get ready for a slew of pictures.... (they're kinda out of order but I'm on Mandy's fancy Mac and have already accidentally deleted several pics so just go with it)


Here is Brody playing with Aunt Mandy before Ethan arrived. This was also before Aunt Mandy's epidural arrived, so she wasn't very fun to play with : )

Cousin Ethan has arrived!

Ethan finally made his debut! He was born today at 1:57pm, weighing in at 8lb 5oz and 21in long. He's got a perfect little round head with lots of dark hair. So cute! Brody waited in the waiting room with Poppy while Ethan arrived. He was very excited to meet his cousin! However, I think he might have trouble sharing the attention. Mandy was getting close to the point where she could start pushing so I nursed Brody really quick before I handed him off to Poppy. Well, just as I handed Brody to Mimi to take out to Poppy, he had a MAJOR blowout. I'm talking, poop up to his neck. And Mandy is literally ready to push, the doctor is waiting for us to get out of her way so she can get stuff ready for the delivery and here we are stripping my son down to his birthday suit. And wouldn't you know, I didn't bring an extra outfit with me. So, yeah, this created an issue jussssst as Ethan was ready to make his entrance. So we said Brody must have known this and wanted to turn the attention back to him : ) I'll post pictures soon. My camera is still at the hospital (I came back to Mandy's house to let Brody get a good nap).
