An Over-sized Hat

I am so glad I bought my new 49ers hat. Why you ask... Joe Montana and Jerry Rice will be in San Francisco in May. I am so excited! So now all I have to do is get a new shirt for all the photos I will get. Well.... I was showing my parents my new hat and then Brody got a hold of it....

Where is Brody?

Brody is that kid....

...you know the one who likes to do anything for a laugh!

I was cracking up as I took these pictures.... so funny!

Spring has Sprung

Yesterday afternoon, after our Doctor visits, I wanted to get some "Spring" pictures of Brody. We went to Palo Alto to the outside mall. The flowers were gorgeous. Lots of color... it was so pretty. However, it was not a very warm spring day... it was quite chilly (and I don't get cold very easy!) I just snapped a few pictures and then we were off the warm car.

Looking at the Frog Water Fountain....

I love this picture...

I think the bench really makes it!

Standing with all the spring flowers....

Brody & Daddy

I love these "up-side down" flowers....

So as were leaving the mall we passed by the Easter Bunny.... This did not end well! Brody hates these characters, we had a similar experience when we went to Chuck E. Cheese. He was really nervous about the character... I guess Disneyland is out of the picture for a few years. The only two pictures I got looked like the following...

Oh well... at least I have some good black mail photos for when he gets older!

New Shoes....

I remember last August when we bought Brody his first pair of size 4 shoes. It seems as though it was just yesterday...

Now Brody is in size 6 shoes....

He is getting so big.

Phillies "FANatic"

Matt bought Brody his first Phillies hat. It is an adult small hat that can be adjusted (yes my child still has a HUGE head.) Brody is doing a good job wearing the hat, even though the bill is a little long which makes it hard for him see sometimes. He He

Brody wearing Daddy's hat....

I wanted to play with new camera so I captured the following shots earlier this week... I think some of them are pretty good!

Brody loves to eat cheerios as most toddlers do... and they get everywhere, they are just a messy snack. To solve this problem, Brody and I put them on a string and then he was able to eat the Cheerios off the string.... Thanks Mom for the good idea! We are getting him ready for the candy-on-a-string necklace....

is it me or do you just want to Kiss Kiss Kiss those cheeks?

Brody put his hat on like this...

I swear it was him...

but I secretly love it!

So..... we have week and half until Baseball Season starts and "summer" Matt returns... boo! [Fever Pitch Reference] Those of you who have spouses that play in fantasy baseball leagues understand what I am throwing down. Maybe it is my husband who wants to have World Domination over his league and gets so consumed with these players that makes me look forward to the end of October when it is all said and done. Oh well at least we will be able to take Brody to some more baseball games this season and take some great pictures to add to the blog!

Waiting for Daddy in the Car

This afternoon I was dropping off completed application packets for various school districts in the area. After dropping them all off, Brody and I waited for Matt in the parking lot. During this time I let Brody walk around the inside of the car, play with his toys and watch the airplanes taking off. Here are some pictures of our wait in the car....

C-H-E-E-S-E

What a wierd smile... but still cute!

Eating a cookie on the back seat...

mmmmm.... Yummy!

In the background, imagine the wonderful sounds of Barney and friends singing....

over and over and over and over again....

maybe next time I should just capture a quick video and learn how to up load it...

iBrody

Last night we had to make a quick trip to the Apple store at the mall. I was trying to load new software on the computer from a mini-disk.... well the mini-disk got stuck or lost with in the computer. So.... the nice Apple dude took the computer into the back and removed the mini-disk. Apparently this happens quite a bit because he did not seem all that surprised.

While waiting for the computer, I looked over at Brody and Matt. Brody was playing a Barney game on the computer.

Bop, Bop, Bop

(a.k.a. Barney, Barney, Barney)

ahhhh my little computer nerd....

After the Apple store we took Brody to the play area. It is nice during the week because there are not so many kids and Brody can actually place on the play equipment.

I love this puzzle!

getting in the car...

driving the car...

I want off of this turtle...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Firetruck

Cutting through the parking lot, on our way to the park, Brody spotted a Firetruck. The Firetruck rode past us and pulled off to the side of the lot. We walked over for a closer look. The firemen were very nice. They gave Brody a Junior Fireman sticker, took pictures and tried to calm Brody down (he was scared of the Firemen) as he threw a fit.

Maybe next time, my son will not freak out and we can explore the Firetruck.

Mommy and Brody in front of the truck....

Sitting in the cab...

(throwing a fit!)

Maybe the next time we can try on the hats or sound the siren....
