" Hi! I'm Brody! I'm about to turn one, and here are a few things you might like to know about me: I'm a great sleeper. A super, duper great sleeper. My parents are very thankful to the Lord for this! On the flip side, I'm a horrible eater. I'm a super, duper horrible eater. I'm extremely picky and will only eat what I want, when I want. My parents pray about this to the Lord constantly. When I get a little older, I'm sure my parents will help me learn that I need to eat what the family eats; but until then, I will ONLY eat pbj's. For every single meal. And every single snack. I will not eat yogurt, fruit, vege's, goldfish, chips, or other "kid stuff". I ONLY eat pbj's. As a result, I eat about 6 whole pbj sandwiches every single day. My parents are VERY grateful that our church gives out free bread every Sunday morning, because our family currently goes through about 5 loaves each week.
During the day, there is only one thing that I want to do: it's whatever Jasper is doing. I love him. I yearn for him. i'm sad without him. And I need him like peanut butter needs jelly. If I can't find him. I search and search until I can. I'm desperate for his attention and he's the one person who can always bring a smile to my face.
I have 7 teeth and use 'em to chomp up my pbj's. Within the last day or two, I've really wanted to start walking; I used to speed crawl everywhere, chasing after my big brother, but now I realized that I don't want to do that. Instead, I want to RUN after Jasper. My momma helps me by holding my hands and we walk. And walk. And walk.
I must always sleep with my bear. I don't really need Bear other times throughout the day, but I must have Bear in my crib. I also suck my thumb, but ONLY when I'm holding Bear. So my parents think that's pretty great.
I love to hold things. If I'm not holding things, I will find things to hold. If I can't find anything to hold, I will find something anyway (often including Mommy's hair, mommy's purse, big brother's hair, etc). I sqwak and squeal and spit. I love to spit. I also recently learned how to cluck my tongue and kiss. But mainly, if I'm super happy or super excited, I show it by spitting.
I love my mommy and daddy very much, Jasper holds a sacred place in my heart, birds and squirrels proved endless entertainment, and I can't wait to walk!
love you all!
with much spitting, Brody"
watching the birds after breakfast
diggin' in to my 3rd sandwich of the day. Millions upon millions of joys!
I'm showing my excitement over my pbj by spitting. Truly. I know I don't look that happy, but this is how I show bliss.
I. can't. get. enough.
Mommy went upstairs to switch the laundry and came back to find this happening. This is just one of the many reasons why I love Jasper; he feeds me sugar. (PS- notice the yummy, homemade cheesy noodles on my tray. Yep. I either vigorously spit 'em out or clamped my jaws shut so tightly that they couldn't even get in.)
Watching big brother. Yearning to be with him.
Hey mom! Look what I found!!
Let's dig!!!!
Watching big brother! And spitting, because I'm pretty sure he's comin' my way!!!!
Attempting to watch my big brother, but my sweet little momma with her huge camera keeps getting in the way.
I'm finally getting some hair!!! My mommy brushes her fingers through it all the time, because she's so thrilled.
Ahh... Joy at last. PLAYING with big brother. Now my day is complete! (we were all walking up the road and big brother decided he was tired and needed a break. so we all sat for a little bit.)
PS who wouldn't want to look at this dude all day?!? He's definitely the coolest and kindest superhero I know!
I can't believe Brody is turning one! Max turns one in Saturday and I wonder where the time had gone! We did get Max to take a few steps this week and it was very exciting. You mentioned that Brody is a speed crawler - Max is as well and it is hard to keep up! I am so happy to hear things are going well for you and please send some of that warm weather this way we are freezing!
