RB EB Happenings

This post is delayed a couple of days....as 24 hours after Rhett started taking unassisted steps, he was full on walking by Saturday.  No joke.  This boy isn't kidding around, he has stuff to see and do and he frankly, doesn't need our help. Here is a short video of his walking skills, albeit they are a little 'drunken sailor' at the moment, but they get better by the hour!! Grandma Brown & cousin Maddy were able to witness Rhett's walking skills develop while visiting this weekend.  It was a great visit.  We all enjoyed going to Danica's first birthday party on Saturday, she had so much party fun, she passed out in the middle of opening her gifts! Rhett went ahead and helped her out opening a few more and testing out her new chair. Here she is asleep in her new recliner. Dani asleep in her recliner Rhett has also decided that it's appropriate to put his toys IN the Christmas tree now, as they really should be decorations too right?  Gra...

Today Rhett took his very first independent steps! He walked between Mommy & Daddy, about 10ft, back & forth 3 times. He was so proud of himself, and then quickly wanted to hold our fingers to RUN again. Rhett also had some great fun helping Mommy wrap presents today...Yes, he is IN the wrapping paper box of supplies. It's all about the bows & boxes, really. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Last week Rhett & I were so lucky and happy to fly back to Colorado for an 'in between' holiday visit! It was so fun to spend time with all the grandparents and get away from the city for awhile too. Rhett is such a great traveler, it's hard to stay home! Rhett really experienced his first 'taste', literally, of snow, courtesy of his Grandma Judy..and he was able to see Chickens, Grandma taught him how to drink out of a real cup (who needs a sippy cup?), be present and Grandpa Hutch's art show opening and do lots of visiting and shopping with family. A few pics commemorating the trip below. Since Rhett is growing and changing so quickly, I wish we were just a little bit closer to my home, I miss having my parents and family take part in Rhett's growing up so much. We'll be burning up the highways, skyways and Internet trying to keep up. Grandma & Rhett Rhett & I ready for the day! It was cold!! Grandpa Hutch & Rhett at h...

It was a big day, visiting Santa and all...but truly, the hit was the candy cane after.  You would have thought I gave him the tastiest treat on the planet!  "Real" food is really starting to come into full play now!  A few funny pics to commemorate the moment.  Rhett could have cared less about the very odd looking (really!) Santa, and Dani, well she wanted NO PART of any of it.  Ok, take the picture so I can get off this guys lap.  MOM!!!!  Who are you?  You look weird.  Mmmmm, it's all about this candy cane.  That's a BIG NO THANK YOU from Dani.  Freaked out! Mmmm, more candy!  Santa Aftermath...wiped out!
