"Brody in the Box"

This morning I cut a door and windows in the washing machine box. He seriously did this for an hour and a half. It never got old and was hysterical each time!

My new box

We got a new dishwasher today and of course, with it comes a great big box. Brody had fun all day playing with the styrofoam sticks and walking in and out of the box. FYI, I made cabbage rolls and pierogis for dinner tonight and Brody ate it like it was going to be stolen off his plate. He eats the weirdest things for a kid!

Swim class

Brody and Dad took their first swim lesson today at Big Vanilla Health Club. They had so much fun. All Brody was interested in was the noodle they gave him to ride on. He wouldn't let go of it the whole lesson (Notice the picture of the class and Brody is the ONLY one with a noodle)! Next time, I am going to work out while the boys go and swim!

Starting to talk

Ok, so I have tried to get Brody on tape saying the few words that he says and I think that it is near impossible! I finally got him saying "up" which he says all of the time, and "What is it?" which he usually says with his hands up in the air and turned out. It really is kind of cute. He is also saying "apple" (which is all food), mom, "dada", "nonononono" and "all done". His other funny joke he plays is that he pretends he is going to bite your leg, then gets real close and forces out this laugh and shakes his head no. He plays this game over and over when he thinks your not paying attention to him. I can't wait until he can talk, he gets so frustrated when he can't tell me what he wants.

Tool Bench

Brody got a new Workbench this weekend. He doesn't use it for working though. This is why I can't have anything nice anymore...

I'm watching my programs...

Brody is really into the TV at times. This morning, I let him watch Elmo with some goldfish and milk. Here is pictures of him with his eyes glued to the tube...literally!

First Snow Storm

Today I had no school so Brody and I got to spend the day together! We got about 6 inches of snow and of course, everything down here kind of shut down. A big branch from our tree broke off in the middle of the night into our neighbor's front yard, thank goodness it missed his cars and house! After Brody's nap we bundled up and headed out on the back deck to play in the snow. As I was putting Brody's boots on, I noticed they were a bit small but figured we would only be out a little while anyway. When we got outside, Brody just stood there and kind of waved at the snow and touched it. When he started to walk toward me, he fell forward, like a tree, and didn't catch himself. He had snow all over his face and I am sad to admit, I was laughing hysterically. He didn't cry, but you could tell he wasn't exactly pleased either!
