Milestones.

I think the last I wrote on here was when Brody was starting to grab things and play with toys. Ugh, so long ago!

So, at 7 months he was sitting up by himself. Playing with toys and starting to entertain himself somewhat. By 8 months he was learning to get on his knees, back to him butt and so forth.. He wanted to crawl so bad , would start trying to go , then face plant! 9 months he started crawling everywhere. I was at work and I get a text from Cody saying hes crawling everywhere! Guess who the first person he called was to tell them he started crawling. My MOM! Lol.  My mom called that night when I got home from work and was asking if I saw Brody yet and I'm like how do yo already know? Oh Cody called me all excited... Haha, too funny... We were anticipating his crawling so it was a big time for us! He was always so frustrated just sitting there he wanted to explore so bad! Now that hes got the crawling down, more like running on his knees he is so busy! He would cry if I left the room before or if he couldn't see me, now hes there in 5 seconds... He stands on everything. Just started to walk around things while standing.. Hes almost 11 months... Im guessing he will be walking in a couple months... (

Some little things that he does... He loves to dance, Loves backyardigans, loves to sing with his singamajig(10 mo), plays patty cake(8 mo), knows where momma and da-da are(10 mo), points, points a "one" when asked how old he is ( were practicing) knows where his eyes, ears, nose, mouth are (8 months) now recently TOES! Crawling up the stairs (10 mo)

Here are some videos, LOVE my new iphone! Captures everything!

Brody eating, talking, waving bye bye!

Updated Monthly Pics!

I only have 2 more months of taking his monthly picture on his used to be favorte bopadilly (boppy) . He used to sleep on it, eat on it, take pictures on it. Now he wants nothing to do with it. It has definitley became a challenge to snap a good shot of him looking like hes somewhat comfortable.. Here they all are from 1 to 10 months!

4 months have passed!

I cannot Believe my last post was 4 months ago! So much has happened, so many memories. I'm going to recap ALL of them! I need to post once a week! Should be my new years resolution...

So Ill start with Brody's first Thanksgiving! We woke up early got ready and headed to the King household! We always have an early dinner with the King's , then off to the Magelsen's for Dinner. Grandma Carrie got Brody his first Thanksgiving onsie that he wore when he ate his first thanksgiving meal :) His tummy was still very sensitive so his Thanksgiving meal was applesauce! We took a family picture on the timer outside and had a very perfect day!

We celebrated Jayden's 4th Birthday Party at the gym. Her birthday is November 27th. She had all of her friends from cheer and others at the gym for games, messing around & pizza! She got a lifetime supply of Barbies.

December we had Brody's First Christmas! Christmas Eve we went to Church with the King's and Brody was a good boy. Only because we got to sit in the kiddie room with toys and things. :) Christmas Day we headed to the Kings early then the Magelsen's later.. Brody got tons of toys and Clothes! Thought he would of been crawling by Christmas, but he wasn't. Hes just a lil guy..

January we celebrated almost every ones Birthday. But First we took a trip to Disney land with our cousins from Washington that drove down! Brodys first trip, he loved it so we bought season passes! He loved the rides, looking at everything. He went on Toy Story, Its a small world & Winnie the Pooh!.... Grammy Beckys was first of Birthday celebrations on the 11th. We went to dinner at Steer N Stein and back Grammy and Papas for gifts and cake. Then was Brodys first train ride to Olvera St in LA. We celebrated Grandma Carrie, Daddy, Helena and Binks Birthdays! We had (mommy had) margaritas and chips n salsa, walked around and had philippes famous French Dips before we went home! We had a great time, and Brody was a good boy! Then we went to Bj's to Celebrate Daddys 26th Birthday and Chantels 31! Shelby got Cody Bj's beer tasters and Cody definitely had a "good time".

February we headed to Palm springs the first weekend for Fierces annual Spirt Sports competition. We drove back and forth Saturday and Sunday. Took us about an hour each way. Not too bad. Brody slept the whole way each time, and mommy got her Carmel Machiattos :) For Valentines Day we hung out with The magelsens that weekend and he got valentines from everyone! (he wasnt to happy about it , pictures below) The 18th we headed to Vegas for another Fierce Comp! Our favorite one, JAMZ! This was Brody's first plane ride! He was soo good! Thank the lord :) 7 out of 11 teams won National Champions, including Mommy's team, whooo! And Legend got a FULL paid BID to worlds in Orlando in April! SO proud of all our Fierce Kids!! We had an amazing time!

We are now home from Vegas and I don't think Brody has ever slept so much. He is definitely recuperating! And I haven't unpacked yet... yuck, The suitcases are too comfy in the back of the car..

Be back SOON! xo, Tal

Brody's First Halloween!

Halloween was way to much fun. We did the usual Halloween activities...Family all together at my sisters,carved pumpkins,Made spider shirts, baked pumpkin seeds(burned them), ordered pizza & went Trick or Treating! We just took Brody around my sisters culdesac, just to get a little taste. : ) He strolled in the Stroller with his princess Jasmine Cousin going door to door and screaming at every "scary guy" she saw. Too funny. Here are some pics! Cant wait for the HOLIDAYS!! WOO!!

This is his spider shirt we made out of his hand prints... He grabbed the shirt with his wet hands, so his spiders looked like hairy tarantulas. : )

 

Crazy thing called Life.

So you know when I have no time to post for over a month and a half, that life is pretty much crazy! From my last 5 month post, we have been Busy! Every weekend in September we were up at my In-laws house getting the back yard together for Bink & Helena's Wedding reception. We went to their bachelor/bachelorette party on the 25th of September. That was Brody's first time away from Ma-Ma! My Mom watched him for the night. Good thing the party was right down the street because I had to go back home every 3 hours to feed him. Yep, he still doesn't take a bottle. ( I don't think he ever will )

The next weekends were filled with getting everything ready and DONE for the reception! Then we were off to Vegas on October 10th! Brody's first 4 hour car ride and trip out of state! We had so much fun and were so glad we were able to go ! It was Cody's first time to Vegas too, haha. Then the 16th we had their Reception! It was so much fun and so beautiful! I love backyard weddings! They are so beautiful yet so homey!
This past weekend was our first weekend off in a long time! And what did we do NOTHING! Haha. I was actually sick, so it worked out perfect! This weekend is Halloween and I'm oh so excited! I'm getting very excited for the Holidays! Brody's first Holidays! I remember thinking when I was pregnant, I cant wait for the holidays and spending them with my Little boy! Now that it is just around the corner I want to soak everything in, hopefully with lots of pictures!

Since my last post was Brody's 5 months Ill just add his 6 months here!  : )
6 Months is such a fun age. He grabs things constantly, knows what he wants and his little personality is starting to shine. He is such a sweet but at the same time Crazy boy! He loves to bang his toys on anything , he loves the loud noise his hands can make. Also, he can sit in his chair and watch Backyardigans and Blues Clues and start crack up laughing at what they are doing. Little boy melts my heart!
6 months 18 pounds.

7 months will be here in 2 weeks! Where is the time going??

Cody's Chicken Delight.

I don't know what this meal is called, so for us it's Cody's Chicken Delight! My mom makes this, and its Cody's all time favorite food. (and it might be mine too) Its easy and delish!

Ingredients:

White Rice

One can of creme of mushroom soup

One cube of creme cheese

One Italian seasoning packet

3 chicken breast pieces

This makes 4 servings, 2 servings in our house because Cody has to finish it... haha..
The more people,just double the recipe!

Put thawed chicken in crock pot and cook on high for and hour. Then add Italian seasoning and cook for 20 min... You can throw everything in there and let it cook for hours, I just have always done it this way.

After 20 min, add soup & creme cheese!

Doesn't look to appetizing, haha but trust me :)

Let cook for an hour or 2 depending on if the crock pot is on high or low.

Everything will mix on its own and the chicken will shred apart when done!

And lay it on a bed of white rice!

Bon appetit!

Cody finished his, then on to mine!

MMM MMM good!

Enjoy,

xoxo, tal
