Brodie has been walking more and more each day and today he has just taken off and is walking everywhere. Will add a video soon, but I wanted to get it documented on the right day - we have a walker!
Alex started walking a week after he turned one as well.

Christmas Program
Alex had his Christmas Program at School yesterday. Pretty much the cutest thing ever. Alex was quite distracted by all the people and kept watching us, so he forgot to sing half the time, but it was still all very precious. I zoomed in a little too much on the first two videos, so the picture is not great quality, I will try to get a copy from my friend - but you can see a few songs on the links below. (He is about 3-4 from the right - brown pants)

Happy Birthday!
Our baby is ONE!!!
We celebrated Brodie's big day with the four of us on Saturday. Brodie opened the presents our family had sent him, with a lot of help and assistance from Big Brother.
Alex picked out a train cake for us to make for Brodie's birthday. It did not turn out exactly as I had envisioned, but you could tell it was a train ;). Brodie was a little unsure of the cake at first...he started with some poking, then some squishing, but once he got a bite he decided it was good stuff!!
Here is what our sweet boy is up to these days...
Brodie is taking 2-3 steps pretty consistently. He will walk between different toys/pieces of furniture and he will cruise along walls or other flat surfaces, but hasn't taken the big plunge into being a real walker yet.
He just started clapping.
He continues to LOVE outside. He cries when we come inside and he will cry if we open the door to the garage to throw out a dirty diaper or something because he thinks we are going to go outside and he will crawl full speed toward the door.
Brodie is still a Daddy's Boy. Brodie will be playing happily with toys and if he hears or sees Eric he will immediately speed crawl over to him and fuss until Eric picks him up and then fuss if Eric tries to put him down. A little exhausting for Daddy on the weekends :).
Brodie is a great eater and loves food! He is not drinking a lot of fluids from sippy cups yet. He can drink out of them, but is only drinking a few ounces a day right now. He is still nursing two times a week - about to be one in a couple of days.
Brodie still has 6 teeth, but is working on getting in his one year molars, currently 3 are breaking through.
Brodie will imitate our actions - i.e. he will pick up a brush and pretend to brush his hair, he will hold up a phone and talk into it, he will brush his cheeks with my make up brushes, etc.
He says "mama" and "dada" and appears to understand what he is staying, but doesn't use the words exclusively for us.
He is currently sleeping well. He is once again consistently sleeping through the night. He goes down easily for naps and bedtime. He is sleeping from about 7pm-6am give or take and still takes two naps, which usually total about 3 hours.
Brodie is into everything and a climber!!

School Pictures
Here is a link to Alex's school pictures. They were taken a week before our family pictures so I did not plan to order any of them, knowing that I would be ordering some from our family session. I did not realize that they would still take his picture - thus allowing him to be dressed in a wolf t shirt ;). I must say I was impressed with how they turned out and I think he looks SO OLD!!!

Thanksgiving Weekend
We had a nice long holiday weekend. Eric took Wednesday off and we enjoyed the beautiful fall weather with a lot of time outside. We went to the play ground and Eric took Alex to the driving range.
Some of my family came down to visit us for Thanksgiving. My parents and my brother, Todd, and his wife, Jen, drove down for a long weekend. We enjoyed the gorgeous weather on Thanksgiving and spent the day outside - playing, watching the Lions lose, frying a turkey, etc. We even ate our Thanksgiving dinner outside.
Friday was cloudy and cooler, but we still braved a lot of time outside. While the big boys golfed, Papa took Alex fishing. Alex LOVES to go fishing with Papa. Alex had been asking to go since Wednesday night when they got here and he kept saying "it is so hard to wait!".
Alex was more than happy to help get the night crawlers out of the container...
Reeling one in on Papa's pole...
Reeling one in by himself....
The "I caught a fish happy dance"...
Alex loved cuddling with Uncle Todd and Aunt Jen and watching the Macy's Parade with them. When he woke up this morning and they were gone he said, "but who will watch the parade with me?" ;).
Watching football with Papa....
