... today is 6 years, since my nephew passed away - from SIDS, at 4 months old (exactly). It's gone so fast, and so much has changed in that time, and I wish he was here to know his little cousin/s...

Here are a couple of photos of him

one of the first photos we have of him - he was a few hours old... he was born at 35 weeks, because of my sister having a UTI, that her m/w told her not to bother treating... He was 6lb3oz @ birth & he was in the NICU for about 10 days


still in the hospital, wearing a little knitted set I knitted for him - in 'our' teams colours.. (my sister is holding him)


one of my favourites of him - he loved being in the froggy position!


first smile (we caught this on 3 cell phones & 2 cameras, lol) - and of course, like Gaby, his first smile was at Poppa


& one of the last photos we have - Brodie & Mummy


.. thank you for letting me share

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear Brodie. He is adorable, and very lucky to have a family that loves him and celebrates his short life.

Thanks for sharing him with us, Emma. ((hugs))

Im so sorry ...and so sorry for your sister. I Just cant even imagine what its like...i had so many fears of SIDS with katelynn, and i still have them with this one..just cant imagine going through a pregnancy and labor, then something happening to the baby ..its like the worst case scenario possible.

I hope you and your family are taking it easy today, and...my gosh he was too adorable

I feel angry reading how her midwife told her not to bother treating the UTI, I feel like this sad story could have been prevented...I shouldn't be thinking like that though, he's adorable and I'm so sorry...I saw your status on facebook, but I didn't know the story so I had no comment to make.
