Brody

Good MORNING Y'all!!!

So, last night was Brody's first night to cry it out. I am trying to get him to learn to soothe himself before school starts again for me. I tried to rock him for over an hour when well.... I just decided it was time. After 10mins of whining and doing acrobats in his bed he fell asleep safe and sound. My plan is to feed him cereal, give him a bath, and then a final bottle before we go down at night with plenty of hugs and kisses.

I am nervous about giving him cereal at night just b/c I have no idea how much bigger my wittle baby can possible get. Mom and I went to Target yest to buy cousin Ethan some b-day gifts and Brody a new pair of shoes. Well, at five months you would think he would still be in the baby section... NOPE... We had to go to the big boy section b/c he is a size three. OMG!! Four is actually easier to put on b/c he has feet like his aunt Jill (she didn't wear shoes until she was 2-3 b/c her feet were so fat), but fours are way to long. He is only wearing 12mth old clothes. My saving grace is that I have tons of friends that had the same thing with their children and eventually it evens out. He is off the charts in size and weight. I love him to pieces and nibble on his thighs all the time.

Mrs. Blinco bought him some new books and I read them to him but all he was interested in was how the book tasted and not how Elmo liked the Sesame Street Firehouse LOL!!

Mamadita said he ate all of his squash yesterday THE WHOLE jar.... I was so proud.

Last but not least we turned his car seat forward. He is a big boy now and can see mama drive. He loves it and not a whimper since he can now see the world. As long as he has toys with him to try to eat he is a happy camper.

Back to work and until tomorrow.
