It’s the little things

As I’ve written before, I was never surprised at how good of a father Jason or how much he’d interact with Brody. If you know him well enough, you know he’s just one of those guys. He cares about other people, even if it comes in the form of teasing or a little harassment.

However…every once and while I’ll sit back and watch him interact with Brody and it melts my heart. And reminds me once again, how lucky I am to have them. The two of them are adorable. Below are pictures from last weekend when it was actually warm enough to be outside. I won’t digress to complain about the snow on the ground this morning.

Brody is 9 months old

Brody is officially 9 months old today. Which is less exciting as Brody’s friend and future wife, Aubrie turning one year old! Time sure does fly!

Brody is continuing to show us his crazy side by speed-crawling and getting into everything. He giggles furiously when we try to stop him from doing something he’s not supposed to do. His favorite toys right now are his walker, shopping cart, balls and activity table that plays some great dancing music!

He’s getting better at standing up without holding onto anything but doesn’t stand up on his own yet. He walks great while holding onto walking toys, or really anything he can push around the floor. He’ll be transferring to an older room at daycare in the next month, so he’s been playing with the toddlers outside a lot and loves it. He’s also eating finger foods for snacks at a toddler table & chair. He’s practicing drinking from a sippy cup but hasn’t quite mastered it yet.

He’s had some trouble sleeping this month and has had a couple colds again. He also has pink-eye this week caused by his cold virus. His doctor gave him eye drops just in case and once he wasn’t contagious, he headed back to daycare. He isn’t loving the eye drops and it’s a two-person job to put them in. Hopefully his immunities are getting stronger with each cold and we’ll have a healthier year next year!
