I apologize in advance for all the photos. We just purchased a nicer digital camera for our anniversary gifts to each other. If you thought there were a lot of photos before....well.
Things going on here:
Brad's 33rd birthday and our 3rd anniversary is coming up on March 24th. We are also anxiously awaiting the arrival of Rylee and Reagan Bedsole. ETA: as soon as two weeks :)
My work has been rather busy lately and real estate is picking up for Brad.
Frank is doing great! He has gotten rather "clingy" lately. We are battling a fine line of him becoming a "mommy's boy". It's hard to break it once it sets in. Trust me, it sets in before you even know it's coming! He's having a hard time napping other places than his own crib. Also, we're still battling solid foods and bottles. If there's one thing we can already tell about his personality - he's independent and he wants to do things on his schedule! We keep wondering if he doesn't know how to eat solids, but then we're reminded that he knows how, he just doesn't want to on our schedule. Most 9 month olds are taking about 2-3 stage 2 foods a day. We are thrilled if he takes 1. Some days, he won't even take a bite! Bottles, he'll take 4 oz, then stop. So we have the restrain him to finish the bottle. However, in the end, there's always something with ever stage in parenthood. I am praising the Lord that we are just battling these small battles and he's healthy! That's all that matters! He's healthy and happy! (unless you're forcing him to eat). We've been able to get more formula in him lately, so he is putting on more weight - hence, the cheeks! :)
I hope you all are doing well. We are looking forward to this warm weather in spring/summer! I can't wait to play with Frank outside! He truly is our precious angel and I can't imagine my life without him or Brad! Being a mother and wife are the two best roles I can imagine in my life on Earth!

Playing outside!
Hanging out at Nannie and Grandaddy's
Playing in the Jumperoo with Daddy!
Smiling, since it's "Boy's Day!"
Mommy is shopping.
Mommy always does the strangest faces to try
to get me to smile. Weird.
Maybe if I pretend to eat her cheeks
she'll stop.
So excited!
For those of you who don't know,
Frank is named after his great-grandfather,
Frank Adams Norman. Frank Norman wore
tons of crazy things - madras especially!
So, our little Frank has a few things to honor him!
Sister bought him this hat along with some really cute pants
that match...photos below!
Really. Enough said.
I'm so happy they took that hat off me!
No, wait. I thought we got rid of this thing!
Thanks, Nannie, for my pants
and hat! I LOVE them!
Sweet cheeks!
Daddy, trying to teach me how to crawl.
He thinks an 8 month old can learn
by example. Ha!
Lounging on a Sunday afternoon!
Smiling for the new camera!
The most precious cheeks ever!
We've resorted to Jake teaching Frank
how to crawl!
Have you met my bud, Henderson?
He's pretty cool!!!
Looking like F.A. Norman!

More and more precious each day! FYI- I'm SLOWLY attempting this blogging stuff. Be warned that I'm nowhere near as good as you yet! Miss you!
