I'll sleep anywhere!

So, Brodie seems to be following in his fathers footsteps more and more. For those of you who know Jake, he loves to sleep and when he was younger he would sleep anywhere. Yet again, Brodie was found sleeping someplace other than his bed! He had come into bed with us early Sat. morning and fell back asleep. While Brenna and I were downstairs Jake said Brodie got up around 7am, climbed out of bed, then just dropped back down to the floor. Jake figured he would pop up with a toy, but he never did. This is how he found him:

Sittin Pretty!


Brenna is doing so well with her neck muscle control. When she is laying on her back, she loves to grab our fingers and pull up to sitting. She has even been trying to "sit up" in her car seat! So, I figured before I tried to dig out the Bumbo from storage, I would see how she did sitting with the Boppy around her. As you can see, she did pretty well. Before I took the picture she was cooing and smiling, but as soon as I brought out the camera, she stopped. Just like Brodie, she is a bit camera shy.
Life at 3 months has been great. She has really seemed to grow out of her fussy stage--thank goodness!! She greats me every morning with huge smiles and giggles. If she does get a little fussy, I have found that she is simply asking for an audience to smile at and talk to!!


Brodie is his adorable self as usual. He is always coming up with new words (like "gross" when any of the dogs lick him!) and his play is becoming more imaginative. He used is Pampers box as a boat and to act like a ghost.

Thanks to Aunt Kiki & Uncle Jesse (Jake's brother & wife)
Brodie went swimming 2 weeks ago when we were in Richmond. The YMCA they belong to covered their pool so the little ones had a blast swimming.
