Weekend of Firsts

We woke up at 2 am this morning because the power went out at our house. We'd heard sleet last night and the winds this morning were tremendous! I was afraid that the power lines were down because of ice and wind and was going thru scenarios in my mind as to how we'd stay warm! Luckily it didn't stay off for too long. When I got up at 3:45 to go to work the wind was still howling. I looked on KDOT for road conditions and it showed that the roads in our area were snow/ice packed. I decided to wait until daylight to try to make it in to work. When I called Junior at 7 am he told me not to risk it and to just call it a snow day :) The local school district had a 2 hour delay so we got to relax together for a little while this morning. I think Brody really enjoyed relaxing with Mike...

(The stain on Mike's sweatshirt is from construction...not Brody ;)

Yesterday was Brody's 6 month appointment. He weighed 17 lbs 6 oz (50th percentile) and was 27 3/4" long (90th percentile). He had to get 3 shots...but he took them like a champ. He cried as they gave them to him, however, he calmed down really fast as Mike comforted him. We've had a lot of firsts in the past few days....Friday Brody rode in the shopping cart at Home Depot for the first time (sitting up), Saturday he got his first fat lip when he did a face plant from a seated position, he got bananas for the first time, he got to take a bath with Daddy, he moved to the log crib upstairs for his permanent bed, and on Sunday he clapped with Daddy!

It's hard to believe 1/2 a year has already gone by. Each month we take a picture of him with a football. Here are a few of the pictures.
