Just a couple updates on Brodie :)

He's waving and clapping. He says "bye bye" and "hello"-not like how we say it but you tell him "Brodie say 'hello'" and he'll say "ello" with the same tones. Also the same with bye bye. Last night I had my phone out and he automatically started waving and saying "bye bye"! He's so cute!

He also claps with patty-cake. He doesn't do the roll it or pat it parts, but he does the clapping to it.

Whenever you blow in his face, he tries to blow back in your face! He won't pucker his lips to blow-I'll have to get a video to explain. But he'll squint his eyes and put his bottom lip under his teeth and blow. haha It's so cute and so funny!

He's still crawling around like crazy and getting into everything! He also gets SO excited when we give him the remote to play with. He'll do this weird huffing noise with his mouth open. Oh, and sometimes when he's playing he'll do this creepy growl type noise. It's pretty funny, but when he does it at first I always rush to check on him because it almost sounds like he's choking. But he's just making that weird noise and playing. haha

Next month is his 9 month check up. We'll see how much he weighs and how much he's grown. I know a lot in both categories!! :)

Christmas Day at Great-Grandpa Miller's

Here are pictures from Brodie opening gifts at Great-Grandpa Miller's house. He got a walker that looks like a car and an activity center that can do all sorts of things. We only opened one of the gifts because they were both pretty big. But we opened the activity center when we got home on Sunday night.

Christmas Eve at Great-Grandpa & Great-Grandma Gwinner's

Here are pictures from Christmas Eve at Great-Grandpa & Great-Grandma Gwinner's house with the family. Brodie received some clothes and a spin and say from the Fitzgerald's (his cousins & Great-Aunt & Great-Uncle) and a monkey pillow pet from Great-Grandma & Great-Grandpa Gwinner!

Christmas Eve at Nana and Grandpa's house

Brodie got a lot of toys and some cute clothes from all the family for Christmas! Ben and I both were SO excited and looking forward to this year's Christmas. It was so much fun being around family and helping celebrate Brodie's first Christmas. We had SO much fun!! Even though Brodie is a little too young to really understand what was going on, I'm sure he had fun unwrapping presents and playing with the toys, and also trying to eat the wrapping paper! haha :)
