Utter Destruction

I'm a bad blogger. So be it. With a full time job and a full time toddler...time leaves me! However, I thought I'd take a moment to describe the destructive tendencies of a walking almost one year old.

When Brody was a newborn...up until about 3 months, I used to think, "man...I can't wait until he's old enough to walk and be more self sufficient. My life will be so much easier." I would disregard it when my friends with toddlers would tell me to enjoy my time with a baby who can't move and relies on me completely. Now I know. I'm much wiser! Brody is EVERYWHERE and into EVERYTHING. Cabinets, fridge, coffee table cabinets, tv, computer, etc. Everything he's NOT supposed to have, he gets into. This is also why we are having to implement a LITTLE discipline, but that's a blog for another day. He bangs toys on walls, knocks things off shelves, records every show currently played on tv, etc.

As destructive as he is...and I promise he is...my walls will tell you that, I can't refrain from saying how much fun he is. I mean SO fun. He laughs harder, plays harder, and loves harder. I melt when he snuggles up to me voluntarily...without me picking him up. The way he knows how to give kisses - the fun open mouth kind. Now when I pick him up from daycare, he all but RUNS to me with his goofy, show-your-teeth grin. I'm pretty deeply in love with this kid. His ONE YEAR blog is soon to come. For now, here are a few cute pics of Brody in his new football jersey for his upcoming football birthday party!
