10 Months Old and Lovin Life

Happy 10 months little Brodikens!!!

This little guy is such a joy to be around. He is walking so much and his personality continues to shine. He is into EVERYTHING and definitely keeps his mommy busy!!!!! His sixth tooth is coming in on the bottom right. He is turning into such a big boy. His once timid nature is fading into a little dare devil. He thinks he is invinsible, although, his feelings can still be hurt very easily (can't blame him it's a tough world out there.)

Broders I can't even explain how amazing that little spirit of yours is! Everything about you just melts my heart and I am so proud to be your momma. I love you sweet baby of mine!!!!

Cavities, WHAT????

We bought this little guy his first toothbrush and his very own edible toothpaste on our trip to Target the other day with Auntie Jess. Last night he brushed his five little teeth for the first time and seemed to enjoy it!!!!

I tried to show him how to do it but he decided that he had his own technique,

chewing on the bristles.

Whatever works!!!!

(oh yeah, this was after he got in my cabinets, pulled the "light days" out from under the sink and decided to crawl around with them in his mouth!)

Oh Brodes I love your little ways!!!!

"Baaa"

Brody has found a new love...

BALLS!

He has learned to throw a ball! He really

enjoys throwing a ball, chasing after it, picking it up and

throwing it again.

My little bugaboo is learning soooo much,

no wonder he isn't sleeping too well!!!!

He is just advancing so quickly with his walking. Last Saturday when we got home from Tucson he started taking up to five steps. Today he walked

from Nonnie and Papa's living room to the stair case without falling. It is so

exciting to see him growing and learning so many new skills. I can't wait for all of you to see him move :) I just realized that I am going to need to find him some shoes for our camping trip!!!

Any advice for beginning walker shoes????

9 Month Well Check

Little Brodes had his well check today. It appears that his ear infection has cleared up and he is a healthy little dude. I was a little worried because he has been tugging on his right ear these past few days.
He received two shots, the polio and hep B, and handled it very well. He cried when he got the shots but as soon as I picked him up he was fine. Well maybe not "fine," his feelings were hurt a little. Now he doesn't have to go back until Oct. Yeah!!!! (unless those darn ear infections come back!!! ) The doctor says that Brody is okay as far as the number of ear infections he has had but if he gets two more before he turns one doc will have to send him to an ear specialist.
Brody now weighs 21.1 pounds and is 29.5 inches long. He is really getting to be such a big boy. I was just watching him sleep for a little bit noticing how big he is getting but how he is still so much a little baby boy :)
