September 2013

Brody,
How is that you entered our life 2 years ago? The time has flown by and we have loved having you in our lives more than we could ever say big boy! You mean so much to us and we are so thankful to have you in our lives every single day!
 
We had lots going on this month and had lots of fun!

The first weekend in September we went on our annual Webster Family Reunion trip to Dallas. It was over Labor Day. The hotel had a little beach area and you enjoyed  playing on the beach and in the lake. You also played in the splash pad but not as much of a fan of that. We got to see family and you did great most weekend. You did get very grumpy Sunday afternoon after nap but I think you were still tired. You did well in the car ride home most of the way!! You just didnt want to ride the last little bit.

Your 2nd birthday was this month!! It is crazy to think you are two! The next weekend Nana and Papa came Friday. On Saturday we enjoyed spending time with them. On Saturday evening about 4, Lolly and Peeps got there. Then we told them that you would be a BIG BROTHER!!! You are going to be such a good big brother!!
On Sunday afternoon, we had your birthday party at the park. You enjoyed most of it. However, it was hot and you just wanted to play on the playground and not do anything else for your birthday. You threw a few fits. You loved all your stuff though! Nana and Papa had to leave at the end but Lolly and Peeps stayed that night and we played with lots of toys.
On Monday, Sept. 9, your actual birthday, you had school. Then we came home and you decided to throw more fits. After you were done, we got to open your gift from mommy and daddy - a tool bench! Then we had dinner and played outside and watched a movie! Happy birthday sweet boy!

This month we went to a few football games, played A LOT outside, enjoyed time on the Hall's land and threw rocks into the river, went to OKC for Kamron's wedding, facetimed with family, and got into the groove of school. You also got to see a firetruck and police car and motorcycle for the first time this week at school. You got to get on them and play! You enjoyed it but were a little unsure! We also had family pictures done. That was a task! You just wanted to run everywhere and not stay still. We got a few good ones! See below.

You have started these tantrums this month. Mommy and daddy, after trial and error, decided that when you decided to throw a fit we would exit the room and ignore you (obviously if you were just mad about something, not if you were hurt/sick, etc.) You learned that fits didn't get you anything and after a few weeks, they pretty much stopped!

You were fairly healthy this month. You did get croupe but got a steriod and got over it pretty quickly! You LOVE playing outside, going on walks, riding in your "car" and filling it with "gas", going to the park, and watching videos. You are obsessed with videos even though we don't let you watch them often. You also LOVE your puppy. You call him puppy and not Maverick, but thats okay! Yall are best buds!

You don't like fixing your hair, not getting a snack every time you ask (you ask constantly and then won't eat dinner so we have to limit it), getting your way. That's every two year old right? Hopefully we can break that habit soon!

We also broke you of your paci this month! We took it away after our Dallas trip. It was a struggle and you cried some that first week, but after that you pretty much were fine. We didn't tell you anything, we just didn't give it to you anymore. It also helps that you only had it when you slept anyway. You never asked for it again and you do fine without it now! Good job bud! Next up, go to a toddler bed!

You also had your 2 year appointment. You are not a fan of the doctor! However, you did well and are healthy! You are in the 54% for height and 16% for weight. You didn't get a shot but will have to next month :( You are 25 pounds and about 34 inches tall.

Things you said/did this month:
1) Say Push - to push you in the car
2) Say Bed
3) You "Wash" your car
4) Say Wa Wa for water
5) Say Stars
6) Say Beep beep
7)Say Airplane
8) Say Baby
9) Try to put/take off your own clothes
10) Say Phone

Your vocabulary boosted this month by going to school! Everyday you are saying and doing new things! We are so proud of you and how you are growing and developing! You enjoy school and we are so glad you do! We know you are going to be a great big brother who teaches your little brother/sister everything you know!! Happy 2nd birthday sweet boy. We hope you had a great one and cant wait for many more!

We love you so much and can't wait for what is to come with you!
