::6 Months, A half year of blessings ::


6 months!!! I can't believe how fast time has gone.... where did that little baby go!



Brogan is off and running.. well not literally but he can get where he wants to go! We can't turn our backs without him being in the other room! He crawls around so fast now! He has been experimenting with a lot of different sounds lately. He also likes to blow rasberrys or spit when you wipe off his face, or if he gets really excited .GGGGGGG is his favorite sound at the moment. I have a feeling GRAMPA is going to be one of his first words. Those two are inseperable and he can always bring a smile to Brogan's face!!! We're going to have fun visiting him in the hospital for his knee surgery later this week!!!



Brogan is eating all sorts of foods now and experiments with new things all the time! He has recently been trying the Gerber Puffs, and is still a little confused about the new texture, but gets them down ok. We still haven't come across a food that he doesn't like! Which is pretty obvious... he still is definitely not underfed! We love his chunky cheeks and little roly poly legs!


Sitting up is still a little bit of a challenge, although we are doing a LOT better, Brogan is still a little round bottom. When he gets excited he will throw himself backwards and hasn't quite gotten the whole concept. But who needs to sit when you can CRAWL :)



We did SOO much better at our pictures this time!! Smiles and laughing all around!! It was very hard for us to choose which ones we wanted! It was hard to get him to sit still on his own, but he really liked the lady taking them and she did a realllly good job!

::Introduction::

Although his life was unplanned Brogan has brought so much joy to ours. We found out we were pregnant May 21st, 2007, and what a shock that was. Looking back on that time now, as i look into his big blue eyes, I don't think we ever could have known what happiness he would bring with his arrival. I worked right up until my water broke at 4:40pm on January 15th. My heart was beating so fast as Buddy met me at my house (after i had to call and pull him out of an interview to let him know it was "TIME", he got the phone call he had wanted! Since I was scheduled to have an induction on the Thursday following and we both really wanted it to happen naturally. We got to the hospital between 6 and 6:30 and i was dilated to 5. After I got the epidural around 8:30 -9 I dilated to 10 within the hour, but was so numb that I could not feel my contractions to push. Poor Brogan was stuck there for another 3 hours with his head just trying to come out! We turned down the epidural, and when I could feel enough to push, it only took 1 hour and our baby boy was delivered into this world by his Daddy and Grandma Wood at 1:51 am on January 16th 2008. Grandma R and Aunt Chelsea and Aunt Brooke were also there to share that special moment and capture it with photographs and video. The rest of the family came in shortly after. What an amazing experience this has been...
