This past weekend Brodie turned 22 months, so close to being two years old! These past couple of years have gone by SOOOO fast! I wish there was a way to stop both babies from growing! hah :)
Auntie Eden & Cousin Shelby came to visit and Eden gave Brodie an overdue hair cut! I wanted it to be shorter, but I got voted against. I had to take a stand at getting his bangs cut though--the boy needs to see! The bangs were getting so long they were almost past his eyes! He wasn't too thrilled about getting a haircut either. Eden had to take a break so she could trim Ben's hair to show Brodie that it was ok to get a haircut. (I also got an overdue trim)
On Sunday Eden and I went outside to play with Brodie. Let him run around and blow off some steam. He loved running around the parking lot (it was safe--no cars were leaving/coming in). He did fall twice though. The first time wasn't so bad, he caught himself. The second time though he scratched his chin--not too bad. I tried to be Dr. Mommy by putting some neosporin on it and a band-aid. He ripped the band-aid off as soon as I put it on.
Brodie has also become quite the chatterbox lately! He's doing so good at learning things. Last night we taught him his right foot and left foot! He doesn't know right and left hands yet though, but he will eventually ;) He's really trying to communicate too, saying sentences, etc. It's pretty amazing what he knows. This weekend he also started making these funny faces, like he frowns with his eyebrows and just gives this kinda mad face. But he's not mad at all. haha, Just a face he gives. It's too funny.
We still have not introduced potty training to him. Though he'll come in the bathroom with us when we go. We're going to get him a little potty for his birthday and show it to him to see if he has any interest. We won't force him, but we would like to still introduce the idea of potty training & his own potty chair to him. We'll see how that goes, he's a pretty stubborn little boy ;)
He's doing great though. Growing fast, too fast. Learning something new everyday. I'm already planning his birthday party too--superhero theme! :) It'll be a lot of fun! Maybe this year I'll remember to hand out the party favors unlike I did last year... haha! :)
