They say they love me.....

more than anything else in the world!!!

And I believe them!

My momma says one of her favorite times with me is when she feeds me. When I am not screaming at her because I want food and I want it now- I take a break from feeding and I like to goo and ga and frequently break out in a smile :) I can see my moms heart melt when I do this - so I do it some more and some more, until sometimes she even sheds a few tears. Oh my momma is silly, all this crying - I hear I just have to get use to it!!!

My moms other favorite time with me is when we cuddle up together and take naps. She has her arm around me and likes to kiss the top of my forehead. I like it too, I get really warm and cozy and sleep for hours at a time!!

My pappa likes to call me Jimmy - not sure where it came from, but it is a nice nickname I suppose! I know there will be lots of other names they came up with during my lifetime! My dad says he really likes me and is glad I am here now and how weird it is that I was in my mommas belly! or this other big word I can't remember - so we will stick with belly!!!

My parents think it is so funny when I toot and poo in my diaper. They say I sound like an adult - I don't know how much I am going to want to hear about this as I get older, especially when I am a teenager. Hopefully they will get the hint when I give them the stink eye, or hopefully they will just be good parents and not mention it!!

I guess I should go, momma says we have errands and stuff to do. I sure like all the stuff we do - just as long as I can eat every hour or two!!

I am so looking forward to meeting my family and friends in WA in a few weeks and Grandma and Grandpa Davidson in July. I have heard so much about everyone and I know I will love them all!!

Love Brody Cole

Smile Video

I promise I will learn out to edit down videos so they aren't 3 minutes long, but hold out for the smiles in this video!

I took this video with the sweet new video camera we received as a gift from Craig and Carol in Wisconsin:) So awesome - we just love it!!!

It really is too much - this new stage of all smiles! I really can't get enough!

Brody's first photo shoot with me!

I had a photo shoot for work and Brody got to come along for the ride! He did so good and didn't slept most of the time!! I couldn't resist capturing the moment in the mirror!!

Oh Oprah

I do love Oprah!

SO grateful for this little one!!

Her last moments on stage before going through the halls of Harpo Studios
lined with hundreds of her employees - most impressive farewell.

The whole family watching -minus Tony;) who was at work!! Probably better that way!!!! Kind of like a chick flick moment - best I was left alone to shed my many tears!! Actually from the looks of it - I was the only one watching:) !! Ha! Ha!!

I know I know!! but seriously, I couldn't NOT watch the last official Oprah show! Yes, I know she has her own Network and she isn't really going away, but the Oprah show that I have loved for so many years is no longer. Since I have been home for the last 1.5 months with semi bed rest and now baby fest, I have been enjoying the show almost every day (after many years of only catching it here and there). It was fun to watch and her message was loud and clear - the one thing that I came away with was GRATITUDE and this is something that Oprah has shared with millions over the years through her "gratitude journal". I am so grateful for my life:) and those who I am blessed to know and share this amazing journey with:)

Little Bug

Don't be scared Auntie Bug - I don't always look like this - so serious I am!

One of my best friends Cory and I call each other Bug! I am not sure where this nickname ever came from - but I think it is one that will be around forever! I found this adorable outfit the other day and had to buy it for Brody to show off to his Auntie Cory - we think about her all the time and love her so much:) So cheers to Auntie Bug - we can't wait to see her (and her two
kiddos Roco and Lulu) back in Washington in 3 weeks.

Let the walks begin with my dear friend Liz!

My good friend Liz is so good to me! Liz and I met at PrintingForLess.com like 7 years ago - we worked together for 3 years and become good buddies! We use to walk around town during our lunch breaks and we now get to do the same thing again:) This makes me very happy! We have seen each other more in then last month the the last few years due to our varied schedules and working in different towns. This last week Liz and I strolled from house downtown and visited her good friend Colleen! It was such a beautiful day and great walk - looking forward to so many more this summer and fall!!
