1 More Month!


One more month that is...until Brody turns 2! Where has the time gone!? I can't believe April is almost here and that we are planning for his 2nd birthday. Although I do miss the "baby" stage, I love each stage Brody goes through. Right now he is into repeating new words and trying to do a lot of this by himself.(Like unzip his coat, take off his socks, etc.) It is so fun to see things through the eyes of a toddler...even the littlest things make him laugh and giggle.

At 23 months Brody....

  • Wears size 18-24 month clothes and size 5 shoes
  • Still wears size 3 diapers
