What do you think Great Aunt Myrna Kay?

For my first trip to our church, I wore this outfit that Great-Aunt Kay and Great-Uncle Bill gave me. I was REALLY hungry before we left for church, which made us late. I'll try to be on a better schedule next Sunday. I'm getting baptized, so from what mom told me, it's kind of important we be on time!

Lots of Love,

Brody

Leo, Gabrielle, and Brody

Last Monday, Sarah, her mom, and Leo stopped by my mom's for a visit. Allison, her mom, and Gabrielle came in too. Gabrielle wore herself out holding both boys, who are one day apart in age. Brody was NOT happy because I was interupting his meal time with a picture. Thanks for visiting!

The Pickle Master

A favorite Yakey treat, typically made by Aunt Kathy, is pickles - dill pickles coated with cream cheese and then covered with beef slices. Anywho, Aunt Kathy is close to retiring from being 'pickle master' so after this weekend I guess Grampy John is going for the title of 'pickle master'. No offense to Grampy, but he isn't usually any help in the kitchen, so it was surprising to see him not only make the pickles, but help Michelle stuff the mushrooms as well. The pickles were delightful!

Another role model comes for a visit...

'Great' Cousin Quincy came for a visit yesterday...Quincy would actually be Brody's first cousin once removed, but 'Great' sounds so much better. Anyways, Quincy enjoyed his cuddle time with Brody and Brody actually taught Quincy something....baby's do have gas! Brody was also filling his diaper at the time, so there was a lot of force coming out of Brody's bottom end while Quincy was holding him.

Thanks for coming to visit!

A visit from Drew

Drew enjoyed playtime under the gym while he visited. Drew

& Brody are just about four weeks apart. Thanks for visiting!!

4 week check-up

Today I went back to the doctor for a weight check and to make sure my parental units know what the heck they are doing. Dr. Dave let me come home with them, so I guess they have it figured out. It probably helped that I had gained some more weight and had grown in length. My stats today...10 pounds 4 ounces and 22 1/2 inches long! No wonder my newborn diapers and clothes were getting a little snug...I have to make a trip to Colby Kathleen's soon and deliver the rest of my newborn diapers.

Thanks for checking in on me! Sorry we have been delinquent on updating this last week, but I was busy cuddling with my mama. As always, leave me a comment or two so I know who is reading my posts and mom & dad's posts.

Catch ya later,
Brody

Happy Birthday Papa Bear Jer!

On our way home from Cohen's, we stopped to wish Jerry a Happy Birthday. Logan, whom we used to refer to as Baby Logan but really proved that he isn't a baby anymore, loved to tickle Brody. It was truly too sweet!

Although you can't see Noah, all three Jones boys were sitting in front of their dad watching television perfectly well behaved. A little later, Noah and Logan were stripped down to their undergarments racing around the circle...happy boys having fun! Brody's lucky to have the three Jones' boys as role models!

Happy Baptism Cohen

Cousin Cohen was baptized this weekend. It was my first BIG outing! Below you will find a picture of me and how I looked for almost the whole trip there and back. I did get a little upset around Shelbyville, but just because I was hungry.
Cousin Cohen had everyone to his house for lunch following his baptism. Lots of pictures were taken and below are a few of our favorites. Cohen didn't mind being baptized, so I'm thinking I'll try to be as good as him at my own baptism. I bet that would make my mom and dad happy!

Thanks for the hospitality this weekend, Cohen, Uncle Justin and Aunt Michelle. We liked our little suite so much that we might just move in for the rest of the winter. What do you think?

A bath, tummy time, & adorable me!

Visiting with more GREAT people!

Great-Great Aunt Lona and Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Bible...how lucky I am to have so many GREAT people love me!

More of my sleepy boys...

It seems that all these two ever do is sleep...maybe that's why I'm so tired?

Check out the progress...

My crib is coming together nicely! Dad doesn't get to work on it as much as he would like, but Great-Uncle David has sure taught him a lot.

A day late...

But Happy Birthday Great-Grandpa Yakey and Great-Uncle Pat!

So, I have yet to meet Great-Uncle Pat, but he and Great-Aunt Kathy did give me this hat!

2 week check-up

Brody went in for his first check-up today. He now weighs 8 pounds 11 ounces and is 21 1/2 inchces long! I think tomorrow I better wash some 0-3 month clothes just in case we wake up one morning and our newborn clothes no longer fit.

A busy day!

We rang in the new year with a diaper change!

New Year's Day turned into a very busy day for Brody. We spent most of the day at Grammy and Grampy's house and lots of visitors stopped by for a visit starting with 'Great Cousin' Emily and Brett!

Mama Merna was finally feeling better so she got to cuddle up with Brody too!

Great-Grandpa and Grandma Yakey also had to come squeeze the kids...Cohen found a comfy place to lounge for quite awhile.Thanks to Grammy, we were even styling for part of the day. However, those jeans were a treat to take on and off, so we ended up entertaining guests in a sleeper before the day was half over. Brody was literally held almost all day long, which made for a rough night for Mom and Dad!

It's just about an hour until my two week birthday. I think we will celebrate with a nap!!
