We met with the foot specialist to have Brody measured for foot braces called SMO's. They are a light weight plastic that go up to about his ankles. His PT doesn't think he will need them long, but it will help him be more aware of his feet and hopefully start walking soon...maybe!
He had a lot of fun walking back and forth holding on to the rails at the doctor's office.
We went to the Kentucky Horse Park's Southern Lights. The first part you drive through and look at the Christmas lights from the car. Once you park, there is a petting zoo, Santa, model trains, and doll houses. Brody and Papa Brown rode a camel! Brody wasn't too sure what to think. He just held on for dear life!
Jordan loved the petting zoo more than Brody did I'm pretty sure. :) We probably liked Santa more too. Brody just stared with no emotion-more like who is this weird man you are leaving me with!
We headed to St. Louis for the Massey family Christmas/Thanksgiving. We got a huge surprise for Thanksgiving!! Aunt Sara flew in to surprise us! We didn't think she was coming home until December. She had worked it out with my cousins to be picked up from the airport. We had no idea! Brody was kind of confused as to why Aunt Sara was not in the phone, but he took up with her quick!
My cousin's son is about a month older than Brody. I know you aren't supposed to compare kids, but I always like to see that Brody isn't too far behind right now. Other than the walking and a little talking. It's coming soon though!
Brody was super jealous of Grandma giving another baby attention!
This week he saw Ms. Paula, his deaf education teacher. Grandma said that Brody worked with her the whole time. When it was time for her to leave, he tried to get back in the high chair to work some more! He has been turning and trying to figure out every noise. He "says" more, uh oh, and open. He has been signing candy after dinner every night. He got a little too used to Halloween candy, but he seems okay when we tell him it's all gone. :)
We also had a break through at Auqa Therapy. We were able to get through a whole lesson with no screaming and crying! Just a few little tears. I was able to get out of the pool too and just have Ms. Melody work with him on her own. Next week we are going to try me not getting in the pool at all! We'll see!
Brody has been trying to stand on his own the past few days!
And his new favorite hobby is "drinking" coffee. I think on our snow day, he watched me drink one too many cups! He carried it around with him, would pretend to drink it, and continue on. Silly kid!
