A worried mommy...guess it's because I'm a "first timer"!

So, I know everyone has heard about the swine flu. Well, there was a confirmed case with one of my co-workers today. Freaks me out because I sit right across from her. All I can think is that I have a 6 month old child at home. I CANNOT get sick because I can't afford to miss the work, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY...I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT get Brody sick. He doesn't have the immune system that I have, and this would be bad. IDK if I am just tripping out because I hear that it's not as bad as what they say...but I am worried......

A worried mommy...guess it

So, yet again...it has been a while/

I swear, I feel like I never get around to doing this. Brody has grown so much since my last post, and he keeps us on our toes (as I am sure every other mom out there knows). he is now 5 months old, and interested in everything.

When we eat, he just stares at us so intently like he is taking it all in so he can know how to feed himself one day soon (wouldn't that be great? lol).

He loves to watch his own hands, and he has discovered those OH SO cute little feet of his.

He is working on trying to get the rolling over thing going. he just can't seem to tuck that little arm in so he can get all the way over though. He gets about half way there, and that's it.

He is doing much better on tummy time than before. He actually plays for about 10 minutes or more before he decides that he is mad and doesn't like it anymore.

Let me say that going through this experience has been truly a blessing for me. I never thought I could have children, and now that he is here...he is my EVERYTHING! My whole life is centered around this one sweet little child who can brighten the worst day in the world with just one little smile. He truly is the best gift God could have ever given me. I love him sooo much, and his Daddy does too. IDK where we would be today without him.

Here are some pictures that I have. Not all are up to date, but they can get anyone who wants to see how he has grown somewhat updated. New pics to come soon.

An update on us!





Well, Brody is getting HUGE! He had to go to the doctor last Tuesday with some bad congestion. Dr. Azam told us that he has asthma, but he also had a little touch of a cold. He was put on albuterol treatments. He has done quite well with them so far. He weighed 16 pounds 11 ounces at that visit. He has to go back for a follow up this upcoming Tuesday. Can't wait to see how much he has grown since then.

Brody will be 3 months old this Saturday, June 6. I have NO IDEA where the past 3 months have gone. Seems like just yesterday we brought him home from the hospital. He has filled our lives with more love and happiness in the past three months than we have had in the last 22 and 25 years!

Jared stays home with Brody during the day so that I can go to work. It definitely saves us on daycare costs. Plus, it's reassuring to know that my child is with someone who loves him and will take adequate care of him. They do okay together. Jared tells me that play together all day :). I think it is great bonding time for the two of them.

We bought Brody a Bumbo seat and tray. HE HATES IT! He has only spent about 5 minutes in it maybe three times. He screams the whole time he is in it. Poor thing is so long that it doesn't go far enough up his back to hold him up good. We put him in a walker the other day, and we are going to buy one of those this weekend! He sat straight up in it the whole time.

Tummy time is still a joke for us. He HATES being on his tummy on the floor. If he is on our chest, he is GREAT! Otherwise, it doesn't work out. He cries the whole time or it turns in to nap time (WHICH HE FIGHTS lol).

We have started Brody on a little bit of cereal and baby foods. He LOVES butternut squash. He does good with it. Poor Jared thinks that he makes a mess and that he has to wipe his face after every bite :). He has no idea what he has gotten himself into already :). I can't wait to see the look on his face when he crams his food in his face and makes a HUGE MESS! It's gonna be hilarious.

Well, the rest of the house is asleep...so I should probably head that way myself. Enjoy the pics below. See how much he has grown:

Fun times with Brody!

Here are some pics that I have been meaning to post for a while. My little man is getting so big already. He just turned 1 month old on Monday (4-6-09)...and I don't like it at all :). I want him to stay little...but I know that can't happen. He is my little love.

Brody is finally here




Our sweet baby boy was born March 6, 2009! He was 8 pounds 1.2 ounces and 20 inches long. Brody James Little is the light of our lives. I wouldn't trade this for the world. It's crazy how you can love someone so much. This has made me love Jared in a whole different way as well. WELCOME MY PERFECT PRINCE! Mama loves you!

Here are a few pics of how big my baby boy is supposed to be today.



Yep, they are referring his size to a bread box :).
