Bode Phil is 10 months old! ... And on the move!!

This has been an exciting month for Bode... lots of new accomplishments and also some bumps and bruises along the way.  Neither Brian nor I remember Lola being so active; active to the point where you feel like you had to watch her every moment of the day.  Bode is a different story. 

He is crawling, climbing, pulling himself up and maybe taking one or two steps while holding onto the couch.  He loves to be able to move anywhere he wants and finds all kinds of things to play with.  He is a very quick crawler, which Brian and I had to learn the hard way.  Let's just say an open door and a quick little Bode equals bad news...

He has seven teeth, so we're able to start giving him some table food.  So far, he's had pancakes, waffles, toast, crackers and a french fry which didn't end up so well.  He still loves any kind of fruit and he's getting better at being able to hold his own sippy cup to drink his juice. 

Lola and him are still good buddies (most of the time).  The more that he moves around, the more he's getting into her stuff though, which doesn't always go well.  But she is good about bringing him his toys and playing with him.  And she is one of the only people who can truly make him belly laugh, which is so cute to see!

No matter how hard I tried, I could not get one smile.  :(




Until later...  :)

Father's Day

We had a very nice Father's Day weekend last week.  On Saturday, the day before Father's Day, my family had a pool party at Denise's.  We all had a good time swimming and spending some time outside.  On Sunday, Lola, Bode and I went to church, then gave Brian his presents and then went to Clinton again to have lunch with his family. 

Lola LOVES to read books and Bode really seems to like looking at pictures too.  So each of them gave Brian a book.  Ironically, they were both called "I love you, Daddy" and they were both about a daddy bear and a baby bear, but they were different books.  And then our group gift was what we called "Daddy's Favorite Things".  It was a bag full of food / snacks that Brian likes. 




Look closely... yep!  That is my brother!
