ANIMAL SOUNDS

A few explanations:

Giraffe- do you know what a giraffe says? I have no clue but in a book Brody has it says "munch munch" and after feeding the one at the zoo that is what we are sticking with!

Pig- he snorts really cute, but its not very loud.

Alligator- again, from his book- the alligator goes "snap snap" so that is what Brody is attempting!

15 MONTHS

Brody is officially 15 months old today. His stats according to the doctor today are:

31.5 inches (64th percentile- can you believe it!)

24lbs 2oz ( 45th percentile)

Doctor says he is one perfect little boy! He got three shots today and barely even made a noise until the last one- and then it was just a whimper. For being such a good boy he got a new toy! And what fun he had with it. Definitely worth the money for this one.

4th of July

July 4th is a big deal to us Cambria folk. There is so much to do for people of all ages. The festivities even begin on the 3rd. Schell's held their Tall Tales and Legendary Ales promo at Preri Bach and then there was a street dance before and after the fireworks. Saturday there is a parade and patriotic program. Brody's highlight this year was being in the parade with daddy and Bompa. He did a great job waving at the crowd and throwing candy. This will be a first of many 4th of July parades for him!

SWIMMING WITH DADDY

Ryan had the day off on Friday so we took Brody back to the kiddie pool. Ryan gets a bit jealous that I get to do all the fun stuff with Brody during the summer-he was glad he got to join in this time. Ross, Lisa, Claire and Everett joined us as well. The kids had a blast and it was
a great way to start the Holiday weekend!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUDSON!

We went to see Hudson and Ashley tonight and to celebrate Hudson's 1st Birthday! I think now that's its July his Birthday might be coming to an end! Brody loved running around someone else's house and really enjoyed playing with Bella. Hudson and Brody shared snacks and mostly played nice-Brody is getting to be quite a bit taller than Hudson so he still thinks he is the boss. The boys get to see each other at daycare-but its nice for the moms to watch them play together too! To top the night off, we got Hudson presents he doesn't already have:)

BIG BOY

Brody is getting to be such a big boy- he now likes to use his own utensils at meal time. He is pretty good with the fork, can stab things and get them to his mouth most of the time. The spoon is a bit more tricky. And most things you eat with a spoon are kind of messy. But practice is good- and bibs are great! Here he is eating pudding all by himself!

MY VERY OWN POOL

We finally blew up Brody's pools last week when it hit 90 a few days in a row. He enjoyed swimming for a little while- but had the most fun getting out of the pool and getting back in. I am sure we will be filling this pool up many times over the summer! Thanks Uncle Nate and Auntie Heidi!
