Who needs toys?

I am convinced that Brody will never play with real toys at our house. He has a trunk full of toys and he still only plays with the salad tongs, plastic cups, and the collinder. Here are a few videos of him playing. I have been trying to tape him shaking his head no (which is hysterical) and taking steps to and from the couch, but he stops doing things when I take out the camera. It's a royal pain! He is a "special" child...and by special I mean he's a weirdo...a very cute one though!

Weekend with the Family

This past weekend, Brody and I flew to Nana Rockwell's house to visit Grampie Rockwell and Grandma Marie, Grandma Jake, Mimi, and Auntie Kate (who drove in from RI). THe plane ride was great on the way up, but kind of tedious on the ride back. He refused to be in my lap and wanted the guy next to me to hold him! We had a lot of fun though all weekend. Looking forward to seeing everyone at Thanksgiving. Here are some pictures of B and his new snowsuit jacket and other random pictures from the weekend.

Weekend with Dad

Two weekends ago, Jon took care of Brody all alone while I got some R & R in NY with my friends from college. Here are some of the pictures that he took...

Practicing walking

Here are a few videos of Brody trying to walk using his truck. I think he's getting close.

My new toy box

Brody has systematically destroyed our coffee table. FInally we gave in and bought a "chest" that duels as a coffee table/storage chest. He loves it. He takes everything out, then puts everything in. His favorite toys to play with in there are a room key card, a water bottle, salad tongs, an egg carton, his remote (our old TV remote), and his sandals from the summer. Good thing we spent all that money on new toys a while back...

Just reading

Here is Brody reading his favorite book. He is such the teacher's son!

Sick again!

Brody has another ear infection! He was cranky all day and started a temperature this morning. I hope that this is not the beginning of a new trend...I'll post some pictures when he is feeling better. No one wants to see his sad little face when he's sick...including me! I hope he feels better tomorrow.

Happy Halloween!

Brody was a lobster last night for Halloween. We went over to our friend's neighborhood for a "parade" to the playground. He was silently angry the whole time the costume was on! He neither cried nor smiled. We had a nice time with Mandy, Vin, and thier little bunny, Ashley.
