I think It's about time... and over view of the year

So it's been like six months since i've posted last... Yeah I've been pretty neglectful of my blog with all the important things that have happened!! But i've been scrapbooking instead so I think i'm pretty even.

Let's see first thing is first. New years was great. My resolutions seemed to have been forgotten, which is ok because i've been making monthly goals instead. I'll do a quick date run through about the huge milestones in Brett's first year
Brett is eating solid foods and we have started teaching him sign language.

Jan 26 Brett said his first word. It was Dada of course.

The next day Jan 27 He took his first steps in his walker and loves it!

Feb 1 He had his first ER visit because he was throwing up constantly and did that for 3 or 4 days after.

Feb 14 Brett had his first Valentines day and got a cute stuffed doggy

Feb 19 Brett got his First tooth!! It was His bottom right tooth in the middle. He looked pretty funny for a month before he got his second one and than another month he got his four top teeth all within two weeks. Let me tell you that was a fun week.

Feb 28 He crawled for the very first time! And was in to everything
March 8th we were in a car accident. Let's tell a story here

We were on our way to salt lake to see our nephew in the hospital and the weather was fine and wonderful. It wasn't snowing, for once. When we got to strawberry canyon the roads were absolutley fine when we saw a semi truck swerve into our lane about 50 yards in fron of us because a mini van had pushed it out of the way so it wouldn't pass him. Dumb mini van. Gavin tried to swerve over into the snow bank but couldn't quite get over the bank. As the semi truck got closer and closer he saw us and tried to get back over but couldn't. Finally as we were about to get way to close something pushed us over the bank and we hit the next bank so hard we jumped and flew in the air for about 40 yards and landed on the wheels when we should have rolled. Gavin did a great job with the wheel and we had a lot of help from the other side. Everyone one was fine except kassie sprained her wrist and we all drove in the ambulance to heber to get kassies arm checked out. It was Brett's first ambulance ride and hopefully his only. I recall when we said the prayer before we left, Kassie was praying and said, if we get into an accident, bless that we will be able to stick together as a family and get through the hard ship. It stuck out to me because she said if we do instead of please bless that we don't get into an accident at all lol. It was truly an inspired prayer. She also asked for her parents to be there watching over us and we definatly felt that they were.

March 22 Brett can wave bye bye and he got his first Hair cut. It was getting pretty long in the back with nothing on top hehe. So we wanted to make him even.

April 21 was Gavin's birthday so now he is 22!!

April 30 Brett took his first steps and now he never stops! He loves to walk and when he falls he just gets right back up and goes.

I told you that we were teaching Brett sign language and he does really good with it.

In words he says:

In Sign language he says:

He started hitting and with his 6 teeth biting but he does pretty good at listening when we tell him no. He's pretty much the cutest baby in the world And he's so smart :) He learns more and more each day!
