It has been a while.....

Yet again....I have failed to post as often as I would like! Today, I stayed home with Brody because both of my parents are sick. My Mom was home all last week and she went to the doctor and they said she had bronchitis and gave her some medicine. Well....my Dad started to not feel well on Friday and they were both in bed all weekend long. I called them yesterday and my Dad said he was going to take my Mom to the doctor this morning because she wasn't getting any better. So, they went this morning and my Mom got some stronger medicine to hopefully kick the bronchitis and my Dad got some meds too since he has a sinus infection. My Dad said he is starting to feel better, but I am going to stay at home again with Brody tomorrow just to give my Dad another day to recouperate! I guess it is that time of year for sickness.....I just don't want Brody to get it!

Today, I decided to go see my friend, Rawan, who had a baby boy on January 2nd. I have been meaning to go see her and it just hasn't worked outso far. Her baby boy, Nicholas, is so tiny and cute! I forgot what it is like to hold a newborn! Brody definitely looks more like a little boy than a baby compared to him. It was funny to see Brody's reaction because he has never been around a little baby before. I was holding Nicholas and Brody kept looking at me, and then looking at him and when he cried, Brody started to make noise too. I am not sure if he was jealous or just curious but it was pretty funny. I took a few pics from today! Look at all of Baby Nicholas' hair! :)

Brody going for the tag on Nicholas' bib. He is in love with tags....on everything!!!

This is his look when I tell him no....I love it! He was heading for her outlets!

This time I told him to be gentle with the baby....same look! :)

Brody has now officially taken about 4 steps on his own, but he of course would much rather crawl. He has just now started to wave, but that is pretty sporatic and he waves at himself mostly! We are working on that. We are also working on clapping. He kinda clapped tonight just once, but for the most part, just looks at Ted and I like we are crazy when we start clapping! The freaky, paranoid Mother that I am is alwasy fearful about him not meeting his milestones, but I have to remember that Brody might not do things at the same pace as other babies. I do plan on talking to his pediatrician about his development at his 12 month appointment next month. Just want to make sure we are on track and there is nothing to be alarmed about. Being a mother is worrisome and I know I will continue to worry about him for the rest of my life!


This past weekend, Tab came down and we had to run a bunch of errands on Saturday. We picked up the cutest little outfits for little Miss Mallory Mae on Saturday. I swear, they have the cutest little outfits and since she will be here in June, most of the outfits we bought her are little dresses! SO CUTE! I can not wait to see her in them. It was so much fun to shop for a little girl! I told Ted that with our next one, I know that we will have another boy just because I want a girl so bad now! But, I wanted a girl with Brody but I can never imagine not having this little guy in my life now! So, everything works out the way it is supposed to! :)
