1st Birthday- just getting started
And....done-getting cleaned off before the bath!

Since my last post was in September, (insert shame face) there is a lot that has gone on. I had my 28th birthday,we visited Chicago in October, spent Thanksgiving in the mountains and in Charleston, I ran 2 half marathons, spent Christmas in Mississippi, rang in the new year around 10 pm, celebrated Peighton's 1st birthday and currently, just enjoying the amazing weather here in North Carolina.

We are all doing so good. Brody is getting bigger and bigger. He has such an imagination and talks your head off. He is just starting potty training and did awesome, then got sick... so it is on hold for a few days. Hopefully we will get going on that again real soon. He loves to run and play outside. Thinks "Tow-Mater" and daddy are his best friends, rides the skateboard on his belly and has a new found love for bowling and golf. The movie Cars is his favorite.. he tells me he is "a one man show", which is a line from that movie. He is so much fun and is such a good boy. Peighton is going to miss center of attention. She loves the spotlight and will make herself laugh so hard to get you to look at her and smile. She is the happiest little girl. She is a pro crawler and is taking a few steps by herself, but she wants to walk so bad. I bet she will be there soon. She is a big girl. 24 and a half pounds of cuteness. She can say "mama" and "daddy" and "alice" (which is a song we sing) and "uh-oh" she loves to wave and snuggle, give kisses and hugs. She jabbers all day long. She is trying to talk to us and tell us stories. She will talk and then laugh... whatever she is trying to say, she thinks is so funny. I can not believe she is already one. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful family. We are having so much fun and really enjoying life :)

Get ready for a little picture overload!!!
