July 2013 - Month 23

Brody,
We are still in summer but July was much busier for us! I felt bad for you because we were on the go so much, but you handled it very well buddy!

1st week: We were still in Colorado this week. Sunday we went to Cave of the Winds and did a ropes course. You did not want to nap so we all took turns and held a grumpy Brody :). Mommy decided to drive around the parking lot waiting for everyone so you could go to sleep. It worked! :) This week we went on several really long hikes (which you feel asleep on :)), we went to the zoo, up Pikes Peak, shopping in Old Colorado, and lots of fun at the cabin together! It was a great week with the Webster's. We started the drive back Friday to Amarillo and finished Saturday home. We were all pooped! By Saturday night, you were done being in the car!!

2nd week: You and mommy had another week at home playing. We swam, went on walks, did crafts, watch videos, relaxed, and enjoyed each other. Thursday - Saturday Mommy went to Dallas to see Nana and Aunt Lynnlee. You had a fun weekend just you and Daddy! But Mommy was ready to get back to see you!

3rd week: You and Mommy had another few days together until Thursday. Thursday we went to OKC and met Lolly and Peeps. You went to their house while Mommy and Daddy took the youth to camp. It was very hard for Mommy to leave you but you had so much fun! You played outside in the pool, rode in a play car, saw people at church (you weren't very friendly though), played with Stephie and Matt, played with Jared, and got lots of phone calls and face time with Mommy and Daddy!

4th week: We picked you up on Tuesday from OKC from Lolly and Peeps and headed home. We were home until Sunday just relaxing and having more fun.

5th week: We headed to Dallas on Sunday. Nana and Peeps met us in Dallas. They took you to their house while Mommy and Daddy went on a mission trip with the youth group. You had a blast. You went to a water park, to the Morales' pool, on walks, to church (again, not so friendly), and you had a blast with Cooper. Nana said yall just chased each other screaming. You stayed there until August 4.

Eating: Eating about the same. However, you LOVE ketchup now and love dipping hot dogs and nuggest in it. Everything else is pretty much the same.

Sleeping: You are still doing great sleeping!! Keep it up bud!

Milestones:
Words: Ha Da (hot dog), Mav, Ra Ra = Paci, Raffe = Giraffe, high five
Height: About the same
Weight: About the same
Diapers: 4
Clothes: 18-24 month or 24 month
Shoe: 5
Love: To go outside, high five, fist pump, wrestle, watch vijays (videos), blow kisses, give kisses and hugs, be tickled, play with Mav, go on walks, be chased.

Although July was busy and we missed you lots, we had so much fun with you this month buddy! We are ready to get back into a schedule though! You not only bring so much joy to Mommy and Daddy but to all your family and all those you are around.

Love you sweet boy!

June 2013 - 22 Months

Brody,
Mommy is so excited to have the summer off with you!! We are going to have so much fun!

1st week of June: You went back to school for a few days because mommy had to do some stuff for teachers. I got it out the way quick so I could have my summer off with you! You did great and had lots of fun!

2nd week: You and mommy had lots of fun! We went to Toddler Time at the library, we went to the splash pad and park with Zaylee, we played in our pool in the backyard, you played with the water hose and LOVED it, and we took several walks with Maverick. It is hot but not too unbearable. We ran to Tulsa this week to drop off Tornado relief items to the Wallace family. You were a champ in the car! We also discovered Little Giggles play gym this week. Oh.My.Word you LOVE it! You just run around like crazy in there. I had so much fun watching you!

3rd week: We did a lot of the same things we did last week! We are just having fun spending time with each other and doing whatever we want to do! We also have been running some errands but you do great! Mommy and Daddy went to Tulsa Thursday night to see Lion King to celebrate their 5 year anniversary. Miss Melanie came and stayed with you and you were such a good boy. You listened well and went down well. You just didnt like your bath time :) We also played with play dough, played in the backyard, and played with the water hose.

4th week:  We had more play time, went swimming, did Little Giggles, park time, walk time, we did finger paints and coloring, and just had a blast! On Thursday we headed to Amarillo for our trip to Colorado with Lolly and Peeps and Stephie and Matt. You did great in the car. We stopped halfway in OKC to see Difab and Jeff and Maegan so that broke the trip up for us! You loved the playground at the food court. This was the first time mommy really let you go play in an area I wasn't in and just kept an eye on you. You did awesome little man! On Friday, we headed to Colorado and it was a long trip and day! You did great. You got restless towards the end but overall you were a champ! Saturday, we just hung out at the cabin and you loved just running around! You had two days in teh car! :)

Health: You had great health in June! The only issue we had was some diaper rashes. Your tush is sensitive!

Personality: Boy do you have one! You are such a joy to watch. You LOVE your puppy, to push cars, Elmo, read books, build blocks, swim in our little boy, go on walks, swing, slide, and go up and down steps.

Sleep: You have been sleeping until about 7:30-7:45! Ill take it! That is great. You are sleeping very well!

Eating: Still not such a great eater but we are working on it. Your favorites are strawberries, avacados, cheese, turkey, and Go-Go strawberry applesauce.

Milestones:
Walking up and down stairs better
Words: Lolly and Peeps, puppy/doggy, Elmo, vijay(video), yea (all the time), no, outside, water
