big boy brody todey

Now that Brody is completely an independent sitter (hooray!) we are making some changes around here! He has been sitting for awhile, but he would get lazy and cheat and slouch over and hold his upper body up with his arms. Now he can REACH FOR US (which is possibly one of the greatest feelings on earth) and hold a toy in each hand and laugh all at the same time. He is so proud of himself. He is now officially on the cup and ALL the bottles are in the TRASH!!! Okay well I kept ONE in case of some type of bottle emergency...but the rest are history! He is now eating lots of "real" food...eventhough the weirdo does not have any teeth yet. Our Dr. said those gums are stronger than teeth anyhow. He is eating things like tiny pieces of cooked carrots and mashed potatoes for dinner and little pieces of pancakes for breakfast! I am hoping after we finish what baby food is left in the cabinet we will be done with those little jars forever! Well until the next baby makes me start buying them anyways. I am just so proud of Brody's eating and mouth habits. We were told due to his high palet and possible tongue thrust (which praise God he does NOT have) and low tone he would have feeding problems for the first few years. Although we have some reflux issues still...all these other things are total non issues and we are just so blessed! It is unbelievable how God gave us such a perfect and amazing baby. He is ALWAYS happy and smiling....ALWAYS. He is spoiling us so bad and its possible that we have a very rude awakening when this next baby comes!
