Brody's new home.

Brody and his new friends Anna Bear and Rose.

Steve loves the dogs.

Brody's new house!

As soon as Elias started rolling on the floor it was evident that Brody's love was all over the house. He loves to be close to me, so his hair is everywhere. Matthew and I discussed what we thought about the Bro man. We both agreed that he is a great dog, but that there was no way to keep his hair under control in this small space. Before we were married Kathleen and I had a friend who kept Brody for us when we would go on trips. Nancy and her husband Steve live in Raleigh, with their two dogs. Their home is such a welcoming place for dogs. I told Matthew about them and we decided to talk with Nancy about it. Before I could even get it out of my mouth Nancy said that she would love for Brody to come to "Doggy Camp" for a while. We have not set a time frame, but I am not worried because I know that Brody is getting the best care ever. He has a nice big backyard, friends, and a doggy door so he can come and go as he pleases. Here are a few pictures of Brody at his new home. Nancy called me two weeks ago and said that he is doing great and is having a blast.

9 Months Old!

We can not believe that Elias is nine months old! Time has really flown by. We took him for his check up today and they told us that he is the picture of perfect health. Here are his recent stats:
Weight 19 lbs. 0.2 oz. (25%)
Height 28 in. (45%)
Head 43.6 cm. (8%)
So our little man may not be the perfect 50%, but what child is. He is perfect the way that God made him, not to mention he is the cuttest little thing ever. He is now such a funny little guy. He has such a cute little personality. He loves to laugh (especially at his daddy), copy us, and make funny faces to make us smile. He is now crawling, pulling up, and cruising around the coffee table. He is so much fun! This little boy is such a blessing we can not wait to see what the Lord has in store for him.

Wild Man!

Elias is offically a crawler! He is too cute, however, he is all over the place. We love to watch him go, until he goes to get things he is not to. We will update more after his next doctors apt. later this month. We just wanted to get this up so everyone would see our little wild man on the go!

The Bye Bye Boy

This is too cute! Elias has learned to wave bye bye. Matthew has been waving to him when he leaves for work each day. He has been practicing for a few days while he eats it has been cute to watch. Yesterday morning we were sitting on the bed and I waved at him and he waved back. Our little man is so smart! I could just eat him up. Watch this and see how cute you think it is.

7 months old!

Elias is now 7 mth old! It is hard to believe that much time has gown by. What a blessing from God he continues to be every day. We know it has been a while since our last post, but we will try to update more frequently. He isn't crawling yet, but he is now pushing up on his knees and rocking back and forth so it probably won't be long now (he usually goes backward). His personality is starting to show really well as well. Sorry we missed his 6 month post, but our computer has problemsl. At his 6 month check up he was 15.6 lbs and 26 inch. That puts him in the 10%, so he is just a little guy, but a sure cute one. Here are some pics from the past few weeks.

Elias' first snow!

Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas with our families! We spent the weekend before christmas with my family and christmas day with Matthew's family. Here are a few pictures from our time. Elias had so much fun seeing everyone.
