Yesterday when Bobby walked thru the door, Brody yelled with excitement, "DADDA!!" A few minutes later as Bobby started to go upstairs to change his clothes he said to me..."this is what I've been waiting for... for Brody to run up to me when I get home from work!"
Bobby and Brody have become the best of friends, and I love it! They play all afternoon once Bobby gets home, and Brody has an absolute BLAST with him! I'm not so active right now, so I sit on the couch and clap for him as he shoots his basketball. Bobby's much more fun!
This morning we talked to Bobby on the phone, and I put it on speaker. Brody holds the phone and says "daddda", then we hear "what bud?!" I love hearing their cute little conversations! Brody usually points the phone at whatever it is he is playing with as if Bobby can see it- he's too cute. After we got off of the phone, I said to Brody... "you have the best dad, huh?!" he said right back to me "Best, Dadda!" It was so darn cute!
Thank you honey, for being so wonderful to me and our kid(s) (almost 2)! We love you!

FINALLY!!
Brody says "again"! For the past 6 months it has been "nih". He really has been able to say "again" for a while, but just WOULDN'T let go of the "nih"- Bobby finally put his foot down the other day and kept making Brody say the actual word over and over (a NICE foot down, of course!)... I think it FINALLY set in, and he has been saying "again" ever since! Good job Brody! Let's hope it sticks!

"Set, Hike!"
Bobby and Brody LOVE to play sports together! Bobby taught Brody how to hike a ball, and he loves it! The other day, I had an avocado on the counter, Brody reached up and grabbed it, and began to hike it! I was on the phone with Bobby as I saw an avocado fly into my living room. I said... "Brody just hiked an avocado!" "Bobby always responds with- "that's my boy!"
Brody's hiking starts out with a ball (or any round object) in his left hand. He then bends over to the front, putting the ball in both hands and says "set, set, hike!". He then claps his hands together a few times, with the ball in his left, brings his hand behind him and throws it! He sure does love his sports. He's such a FUN little boy!

Lately, I've been feeling like-
this little guy...
Even Bobby's T-Shirts are too small for me. They all ride up until they are sitting comfortably on top of my belly! However, It's worth it! And, only 5 1/2 weeks left! Hooray!

Brody's new favorite word...
Or is it EVEN considered a word? "Ummmm... " - that's what he says now when we ask him a question. He is such a goofball!
The other day, he got into my jewelry and got his little hands on my wedding ring. I saw him with and went to get it from him... being a little stinker, he decided to THROW it! Lovely! Luckily, we were in my closet, so I knew it was somewhat nearby... but where was it? In a shoe? No! We sat on the floor searching, trying to not to make it get buried deeper into whatever place it could be. I would say.. "Where's mommy's ring?" His reply- "Ummmm" How could I NOT crack up to that response? I tried not to let him see me laughing! Needless to say, we found my ring while having a good laugh!
Brody will often call for Bobby or I and when we say "yes?" his response... "ummmm"
He sounds like such a little man when he says this. Almost like he is SERIOUSLY contemplating SOMETHING! He is so funny and just keeps up laughing! It's AWESOME!
When I told my mom about this little "word", she said, "you know where he learns it, right?" - Do WE say Ummmm THAT often? I'm going to have to start keeping track! It's funny how you don't realize what you say, until your little parrot starts saying it!
**** Brody's 2 year checkup went well! He weighs 25.2 lbs (what would that be like?!) 16th percentile. Length is 34 inches, 38th percentile, and head circumference is 18.9 inches, 31st percentile. He's growing just like he should! He also got his last 3 immunization shots! YAY! We're done with shots until Kindergarten... well, with HIM at least! 6 weeks until Baby Brother arrives!

"I'm so glad when daddy comes home!"
Brody absolutely LOVES when Bobby walks in from work. I start telling him that "daddy is on his way home" as soon as Bobby calls and says that he's left the office. Lately, if the weather is nice enough, we go wait out on the driveway until he gets home. The other day, I told Brody that daddy was on his way home and we would eat dinner as soon as he got home. So, about 5 minutes before Bobby would be walking in, I said "guess who's almost home?!" (I was cutting veggies) Brody then opened the dishwasher (clean dishes, thank goodness!) and grabbed a plate, put it where I sit at the table then went back to the dishwasher while saying "dadda, dadda" over and over. He grabbed another plate and put it in Bobby's spot on the table, then grabbed one of his (Brody's) little plates and put it right in his spot. It was so darn cute! He knew that when Bobby got home we would eat, so he decided to set the table! Bobby walked in soon after and Brody made him sit down in his seat then he got in his seat. He sure was ready to eat, and glad to have his Daddy home!! (Bobby LOVED hearing that he set the table by himself. He kept saying "so, you didn't tell him to set it?", "he opened the dishwasher by himself and got everything out?"... he sure was proud of his boy!)
