This blog is 2 days in the making. It's so difficult to find the time! I did get to go to the bathroom the other day all by myself! :) I do cherish those few minutes by myself :)

Brody had his 18 month appointment this last week. For the first time I realized my sweet boy is indeed a toddler! He wanted nothing to do with our Pediatrician and definitely let her know that! He weighs 21 lbs and is 31 inches tall and is as healthy and perfect as can be :)

 B LOVES his little sister! LOVES HER! For only knowing her for 2 weeks he wants everything to do with her. When he wakes up in the morning the first thing he does is goes searching the house to find her. His first words out of his mouth are "Where's sissy?" He wants to burp her, hold her, hug and kiss her. We are so proud of how great of a big brother he is :)

 B continues to make us laugh always. He is daring and has not an ounce of fear in him. I'm still amazed we haven't made a visit to the ER yet. Thank you Jesus! Some of his favorite things to do are to jump off the couch into someones arms or if the pups are near on the pups (poor doggies), being chased, rolling on the ground, having dance parties, throwing balls, coloring, puzzles and playing with his sister.  The pic above he got himself into daddy's shorts. He's so cute in how much he wants to be like his daddy. He and Mike are definitely pals and B loves following him around mimicking his every move :)

These are some of B's favorite things, his milk and his monkey pal Marvin. The boy can go through probably a gallon a week of milk he loves it that much! Marvin goes everywhere with Brod (Marvin isn't allowed out of the house though). B calls him "Mar" and his milk is "Mi" so sometimes its a little tricky trying to figure out what he wants.
Brody is down to one nap a day, a picky eater, favorite word is "no", folds his hands when we pray, loves singing "This Little Light of Mine",  wakes up at around 7:00am and is in bed about 8:30 pm, sleeps great in his big boy bed, enjoys TV (he truly didn't know what one was until Aubrie came around, I need some kind of babysitter while nursing right?) favorite movie is Toy Story and is the greatest joy to be around! We are so proud of the young boy he is becoming!

Miss Aubrie is settling in quite well to the family. As of last Wednesday she weighs 7lbs 10 oz. She does all of her duties great (sleep, poop and eat)! The picture above is from her first bath, so sweet. Umbilical cord fell off right at 2 two weeks ;)

Girlfriend is a LOUD sleeper and we can't wait to get her out of our room at night. She is a belly sleeper (which makes me cringe every time I place her on her belly), doesn't like the swing, bouncer or bassinet. The girl just wants to be laid flat with her arms out, it's crazy she has preferences already.

She is such a sweet blessing to our family. I love having 2 kiddos in the house. This last week Mike went back to work and we all survived! I haven't figured out how to take care of two kids and keep a decently clean house, but oh well. Our church blessed us with 2 weeks worth of dinners which just ended. So this weeks goal will be to grocery shop and put at least 2 meals on the table. I can do it! But really, we are LOVING being a family of 4. This transition has been so much easier then our transition with B. Aub's has just kinda been thrown into the mix :)
