Brody learning to walk

With all the hubbub of Christmas I see I didn't get around to posting about Brody's latest accomplishment which happened on December 14th when he was about 16.5 months. I was playing ball with him, when he just got up and walked to pick up the ball. I cheered very excitedly and got him to do it again... and again. From that moment, there was no turning back. He was so determined to master this new skill :) The first two videos were taken only a few hours after his first steps, we had to go out for something and I put him down when we came home (that's why he's in his coat still) and he got back to practicing!





And this video was the following day, just practicing some more!

Mini Christmas Tree Photo

We nearly forgot to take our annual mini Christmas tree photo of the kids! Melissa remembered after we had already taken down all the decorations but the tree itself! Lucky!!! We may have had to set the tree up just to get the picture otherwise!

Giant Melissa (7.5 years) beside the tree!
