The Pumpkin Patch

We took Brody to the pumpkin patch last sunday night and he had a great time. He wasn't quite sure what to think of everything going on around him... but we were still able to get a few great pictures of our 11 month old baby boy! It's hard to believe that he's almost 1!

2 more teethies

Brody has 2 more bottom teethies..making the grand total 6 teeth now:)

Where does he learn these things?!

So this week my mom was feeding brody some food by way of a fork....ive never really done that. i always use a spoon or let him pick it up himself. she put some cooked apples on the end of the fork and set it down just for a second to grab his juice. before she knew it he had the fork in his mouth,he ate the apple and laid it down as if he was saying "more please". she assumed i had taught him this, so she let him eat most of his lunch that way. she called me later and asked when i started letting him eat with a fork!of course i was shocked and told her that i had never let him do that before. when i got home from work that night, i had to see it with my own eyes of course and sure enough when i laid the fork in front of him with food on it...it his mouth it went:)

The funniest thing....at least to Brody

Sippy cups have been a bit of a challenge for us. For a long time Brody refused to pick them up...he wanted me to hold it for him. Then when he figured out how to hold it, he couldnt figure out how to tip it back. So i tried the sippy cups with the straws. it took him a while to figure out how to sip from it....but once he figured it out, he thought it was the funniest thing! he would take a sip from it and then let out the biggest belly laugh! he kept doing it over and over again and laughing everytime:) So, needless to say...no tipping is involved with drinking from the straw sippy cups. He knows how to hold it up to his mouth and drink from it...but alot of the time he just crawls up to it and bends his head down and sips! it pretty funny!
