His favorite thing to say right now is "what's that?!" He loves exploring everything that is around him and especially loves being outside where he can run wild and free to his little heart's content. He is learning so much every day and I love watching how his mind works as he learns each new skill. My favorite is when he gets into his goofy moods and has the cheesiest little grin you've ever seen. Oh, I just love it.
Brody has had to adapt to a lot of changes this past month with all of our traveling and our big move, but he has taken it all on like a champ. He went from sleeping in a pack-n-play in the spare bedroom/office at our old place to getting his own room and crib here, which he is absolutely loving. He didn't want to get out of his crib the first day we got it and he loves being able to stretch out when he sleeps. A couple of weeks ago we transitioned him from two naps a day to one and he has done so well with that, too.
Some of his favorite things right now are eating cheese, grapes, strawberries and blueberries, playing with his cars and balls, reading books, learning about animals and the sounds they make, watching Tangled (nothing's changed there), doing anything with his dad, and, of course, his blanket. He is becoming a real snuggle bug when he gets tired which, of course, I am loving. He loves listening to me sing songs in the morning when he wakes up as he snuggles with his blanket and drinks a bottle and at night when we put him down. I treasure those sweet moments.
Brody is not longer my sweet little calm newborn who did what I wanted and couldn't talk back. He has learned the word no and loves to use it. When he's about to do something he knows he's not supposed to he'll get this tricky little grin on his face then look at me laughing as he does it. Oh, that boy! He and I are learning how to take on this new stage together. It was a hard adjustment for me at first, but I am learning to remember that he is still little and doesn't understand why he can't hit the tv or always look at my phone when I need to use it or hold two buckets in his hands and eat a snack at the same time. I am so grateful that I get to be his mom and try to teach him as best as I can and grow myself in the process.
Brody, I just love you so much and can't tell you how grateful I am each and every day to have you in our family. I feel so grateful that I get to be your mom and I love spending each day learning and playing with you. I truly can't imagine life being any better than it is with you in it! Thank you for being my sweet little boy. I will love you always. -Mom
