I have fallen into the poor second child syndrome.. where the second one just doesn't get documented. Brody..I'm sorry! It doesn't mean I love you any less than your big brother..it's just that time escapes us a tad quicker than it used to..if that is possible!
Brody.. 8 + months old and you have been pulling yourself up onto the furniture and anything else for that matter. You are one happy baby. You love your puffs, oatmeal with fruit in it and most vegetables too. At 8 months you were weened from nursing. It wasn't you. It was me. I wanted the summer free of nursing and that damn pump I took with me to work everyday. You made the transition seamlessly and for that I am grateful. Don't ask your brother how long I nursed him, it was only because of his ear infections.
You're first sound "eh!". It's cute to say that to you and you respond with it. I wouldn't say it's your first word..just your first exclamation maybe? You are a rambler these days and Mommy and Daddy are both pushing for "mama or dada" to be your first "word". You have the cutest little voice and we love to hear you ramble on!
You have those blue eyes that we never thought either of our children would have. You can thank your Papa for those! We get compliments all the time on how cute your big brother and you are and how beautiful your eyes are!
For the most part you are a good sleeper - you nap twice a day most days and you are one tired boy come 7pm. If you could skip that one bottle in the middle of the night, we would greatly appreciate it! But..you are cute, so waking up to you isn't too bad. But the 5 am wakeups? You'd probably be a lot cuter at about 6 or 7am if we have to push it. It's not every morning that you are up that early, thankfully.
You love your bouncer and you kind of like your exersaucer still, if you have plenty of toys to play with. Forget the baby toys though, you are a fan of your brothers toys! Boulder, Optomis Prime and the rest of the Rescue Bott toys that Jake loves, you love as well. He is a great big brother and loves to get on the floor and play with you. You both still light up when you see each other. Sitting outside in your walker is one of your favorite activities! You love to watch your brother run the yard and to watch him in his pool or playing. We have gone to the spray park a few times this summer and a couple of beach visits..you love the water! The sand too!
Just a few days shy of your ninth month you are standing solo without holding on to anything. From very early on, it was apparent that you had very strong legs! The pedi noted at one of your very first appointments that you had the legs of an athlete! Let's see how right she is!
You've brought more joy to our home than we could ever imagine!!
