Happy 11 Months Brody!

Happy 11 Months, Brody!!!
We love you!


I say it every month, but its so hard to believe its been eleven months. Next month my sweet baby boy will no longer be a baby, but a toddler. I don't know if I'm quite ready to handle this new stage in our lives. I know it doesn't matter if I am or not...because toddler here we come.

Physically we still have somewhat of a baby. But I have to celebrate Brody's accomplishments just in the last couple of weeks.

Since Thanksgiving week...the dreaded First Steps evaluation, Brody has learned to...
1. CRAWL!!!! (See video below...Sorry its so dark, but if you squint you can see him crawling!)

2. STAND!!!



3. Drink from a sippy cup.




Brody Loves....



  • Anything that plays music

  • Bailey (our dog) and Grish (daddy's dog)

  • Ken

  • Peek-a-Boo

  • Tomato Macaroni Beef Dinner...sounds disgusting I know.

  • Multi Grain Cheerios

  • Plums and apples

  • Electrical Cords of any kind

  • Papa (My dad)
  • Patty Cake

Brody Loves Not So Much...

  • Santa Claus...so sad. I'm saving for a later post.

  • Thinking he's been left alone

  • Not getting his way (Oh my goodness at the temper!)

  • His car seat...which is just slightly outgrown. He still "fits" weight-wise, but lenght-wise he's done for!
We have also lowered his crib...just one notch. When he's ticked off about being in his bed before he thinks he's ready, he rolls over to his belly, sits himself up, and bangs his head against the railing. Like I said...a temper. While, lowering his crib, won't stop the temper, it hopefully will keep him from tumbling out.

YEA for Brody! So proud of you! I can't believe he'll be 1 in a month. Where oh where does the time go? Can't wait to see y'all on Saturday.
