Today is the day that Brody changed. A lot!! He literally changed overnight.
Today, for real, he started:
- crawling. For real crawling. Like, get his eye on a target, crawl fast. and obtain the target.
- sitting up on his own. Tonight, I was busy cooking or whatnot, I glanced over, and Brody was just sitting in the middle of the living room, smiling at me. Before he could sorta sit up for a second and then fall backwards and bonk his head. Now, he can truly sit up like a real human.
- eat table food. For dinner tonight, brody had a lot of sweet potato souffle, some homemade mac n cheese, cut up rotisserie chicken, 2 huge bowls of greek yogurt, and half a banana. He violently jerks his head away if I try to feed him baby food these days. No way, Jose. He only wants real human food. Not that I blame him.
we had a blast tonight, chasing Brody around the house and getting him to crawl. Jasper especially had so much fun, truly playing with Brody. I forgot how much fun this was!
These are some really, really random pics of Brody over the past month or so. He continues to just be the MOST smiley, happy little guy you've ever met! And if his big brother is in the room, no one else matters. Jasper is by far his favorite person in the world, and it's my dream (and prayer!) come true! Brody truly won't take his eyes off Jasper.

J's bible
The Lord just gave me such a sweet blessing this afternoon...
Every day, before nap, I tell Jasper to go to the bathroom and sit on the toilet for a while. Today I told him he could choose either 1 book or 1 toy to take with him to the bathroom. I walked in a little while later to find that he had chosen his little green bible as his 1 toy/book that he could choose. It was such a sweet blessing to this momma's heart to see his tenderness toward the gospel growing. I pray the Lord continues to work in his little heart!!
Also, Jasper has started calling Brody his "precious treasure" and begs me to let him hold Brody. They are truly bff's and I beg, beg, beg the Lord to let this love and bond only grow stronger as they get older.

it's been a while
it's been a while since I've been on here. Life's been busy but so wonderful!!! I don't have time now, but soon I need to record some stories and cute little sayings of Jasper's. But for now, I'll settle for this:
Every morning, I walk into Jasper's room and he says, "Hey momma!! Whaddya think about cuddling wid Brodybug in our special chair right now?" and I say, "What a great idea!!!"
So we go get Brody up, we all cuddle in the chair together, and then Jasper inevitably says, "Hey momma! Whaddya think about taking my's picture wid Brodybug in our special chair right now?" and I say, "What a great idea!!"
It's the sweetest, I mean the SWEETEST, morning routine ever. It makes my heart squeeze and melt, all at the same time. Oh I just love it. And as a result, I pretty much have a daily picture of the two boys together in the chair. Granted, most of them are blurry, but still, they're priceless. I'm thinking of making a coffee table book out of it someday.
