Brody

I would like to start off by apologizing on not blogging in weeks and weeks...I have slacked severely.   So.... Here we are....Brody is now 3 and 1/2 months old...He weighs about 15 pounds!!! I would just like to share a few weight related stories with you guys!!! A woman at the bank sent a sucker for Brody through the little machine at the drive-thru and a woman at the airport asked if he was 7 months... NO.... (and random age to guess...personally I would have guessed 6 months 2 weeks and 3 days)...Moral of the stories??? He is large for his age.  He is wearing 6 month clothes and proudly still sporting the double chinS :) But we love him lots!!! He is smiling and talking...coohing and gooing... I like to translate when we talk... He says "I love you mom" a lot... "I love you dad" when we are with Joey and "I'm starving...I ate like an hour ago" and "I just pooped all over myself" pretty run of the mill conversations... Sometimes I like to play like he is telling me a story and say..."Really" or "No...you didn't say that" It gets a smile out of him... And yes... I am that mom,who in public, coos and goos like an idiot!
As far as other news... he is going through a little growth spurt right now, so he is eating like crazy and is waking up in the middle of the night again.... he was sleeping through... He has started to drool a lot, has rolled all the way over twice... both were accidents I am convinced...none the less he did it... He does roll to one side all the time though.  He can sit up and stand on our legs with support.  So for those of you that don't know the developmental milestones...he is right on track.... He was a cow for Halloween. The cutest cow in North Carolina that is for sure!!!
In other news, Joey and I are both doing well.... We are enjoying a little bit of a break with the summer being over.  I have been running... I am going to do a half marathon in December... I have never been a runner, so it has been fun to train and actually enjoy it!! We went to Utah for Brody's blessing...It was such a fun a trip.  We spent most of our time at a cabin in Eden with Joey's family for a family reunion. Brody was blessed on Sunday....Joey gave him a beautiful blessing....and then had lunch with everyone who was there for the blessing.  We got to meet Brooks...Storey and Ben's (Joey's sister and Brother-in-law)  son who is 2 months older than Brody... He is a cutie and it was neat to see what Brody will be doing soon.  It was nice to get away and great to be back in Utah for a visit.
Well I hope you guys all enjoy the new pictures of Brody.
