First Real Haircut

I took Brody for his first "real" haircut this morning. He did wonderful, and he loved the old ladies that were in the shop too. Here are a few pictures from our morning:

The final result!!!!

Brody has a girlfriend!

We had a small shower for my Aunt Jen who got married in Vegas a couple weeks ago, and there was a little girl there named Ansley who is Brody's age. They had a big time playing together until she tried to kiss him......he just looked at me like, "Please Mom, HELP." That's my boy!! By the way, I know you all are tired of looking at that green panda sweater. It's just one of my faves right now, and I know he will outgrow it before I know it, so I put it on him all the time. I promise, no more panda shirt pictures.

Time to get cabinet locks

To my surprise, Brody has been good about ignoring cabinets and drawars - until now. This is what I found when I walked in the office-to-be the other day. Thankfully they are still empty cabinets, so he had a ball crawling through them. I know I should have stopped him , but it was just too cute. (Bad mommy, bad.) Time to get the little child-proof locks!

Doctor Visit

I had to take Brody to the doctor last Friday due to a night of endless screaming. My first thought was "ears" so off we went. It all started the week before with a runny nose. I just thought he was getting a cold, then just as the nose started to dry up, he started running fever. Just as the fever was breaking the next day, I noticed a new tooth breaking through! So, I then concluded that his new pearly white was the culprit behind all of his ailments. Well, the next night was the night he woke up at 10:30pm screaming...not crying...SCREAMING. Nothing would calm him down. He screamed until threw up, then passed out, only to wake up a few hours later for a repeat. He was holding his ear, so I knew that must be the problem. So, we made a quick trip to Dr. Bevill's the next morning, where he confirmed my suspicions - ear infection #3! Yuck. So, we started the antibiotics that day thinking we were on the road to recovery, only to be knocked back down again the next night. He got a stomach bug! Only a touch of it, but still no fun. Boy, this mom stuff is no walk in the park. Now, I think we are headed in the right direction. Let's pray that I am right. I need to get this boy well! I included a couple pictures of him at the doctor. He looks like a little boy sitting on the table, not a baby, which makes me a little sad. And he loved the crinkly paper he was sitting on - couldn't keep his hands off of it!

Brody has this new thing where whenever he sees a camera, he cheeses for all he is worth. He squints his little eyes closed and everything. He just started this a few days ago. Thought I would share a few pictures of my little ham cheesing for the camera.

Merry Christmas everyone!!! We had a great one this year - it was especially special being Brody's first. I have to say though - this child got more than I ever would have imagined. We are actually putting some toys up for a few months, so that they can be pulled out when he grows tired of the 500 that are still scattered around our living room, dining room, and his bedroom. We may have to turn the extra bedroom into a playroom! And just think, his birthday is in less than 2 months. Okay everyone, he needs clothes for his birthday, not toys :)

Here he is with the 4 wheeler he got from Memaw and Poppy Little. Yep, 10 months old and already has a 4 wheeler. I guess he will have a car by the time he's 10!

Brody's first drink of Mamaw Agnes' sherbert punch. It's a holiday tradition, and we havn't found a child yet who doesnt like it!
Our family picture taken at Mamaw Sharon and Papa's. We have yet to get a good pic of all three of us. Either Brent is not smiling, or Brody is chewing on his fingers, or I am taking his fingers out of his mouth. Something. That is why it is just Brody on the Christmas cards...lol.
We had so many places to go during Christmas, we opened presents with my mom on the Sunday before. Brooke and Brody just had a blast!

Here a couple pics of Brody at Mamaw and Papaw Webb's. We were there Christmas Eve, and he had a big time playing with everyone. I guess he had too much fun with Papaw - you can see in the bottom pics how he passed out right after he ate. The last pic is on the way home. He was exausted - just look at those sleepy little eyes :) But still all smiles of course!

Scrub-A-Dub-Dub

This is Brody's favorite time of the day! And he loves the big jacuzzi in our new house. He can practically swim in it! Here are a few pics of him playing:
