Summer! (Almost)

I think Brody is going to fit in with this family just fine. I'm training him to carry all of the shopping bags already. :)

We have been in Ohio a lot lately visiting the Fromholt side of the family. Brody has become fond of Sully, Grammy and Papa Tom's dog. Sully will lay on the couch or the floor and let Brody lay on him like a pillow. Too cute!

We cooked out for Memorial Day at Papa Tom and Grammy's house. Brody loved having his Uncles there to play with. He especially loved ping pong and corn hole.

 

 

 

 

I may have made a mistake by letting him eat ice cream in the car...

 

Last summer, Brody loved the little baby pool and stayed in it almost all day. This year he isn't too sure about it. However, Bear loves it!

 

 

Brody has started telling people that he loves them. He will sign it and verbalize, "love you!"

 

Brody is also doing a lot of good listening. He is following some 2 step directions. He has become obsessed with letters and numbers lately as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jordan's Aunt Karen retired from teaching this year. We went to her retirement party. Brody was in heaven. They had a DJ and Brody loved dancing. He also loved the buffet of food and kept convincing people he needed more to eat.

 

 

 

Brody has been doing a lot of chalk on the driveway. He is starting to tell you what to draw by naming (mainly signing with some verbalizations) what he wants. The other day, he drew two pictures and told my mom "ice cream" and "3." He named a few more pictures for me yesterday!

Brody's number 3.

We have visited the splash park at the Beckley Creek Park two weekends in a row now. Brody is in heaven! He is still a little wobbly and can't make it around the splash park alone, but Jordan and Papa Brown love it as much as Brody!

 

 

Jordan's cousin, Kenny, graduated from high school in Jordan's hometown this weekend. We headed back up to Dayton to celebrate. Brody loved the balloons!

 

He spent some time with Grandpa Fromholt (Papa Tom's dad). He figured out who would feed him more food (4 cookies, 2 hot dogs, most of Grandpa's chips, veggies, 2 fruit cups, and some cake). Pretty sure Brody is going through a growth spurt. Ms. Melody backed me up in my thinking saying that she noticed him being a little more wobbly. She said she usually sees this wobble when they are growing.
