No, No!!

I am constantly saying those words to Brody. In the last 2 weeks, he has become all boy. He is becoming more of a dare devil-which scares me, he gets into everything and is just plain crazy. We have 2 staircase in our new house. One is by the front door and the other is by the kitchen. We put a gate on the kitchen one because we are always in the living room or kitchen. We have yet to put one on the other one because it has a wide opening and not sure if I can find one that fits plus we don't want to drill any holes in it. Brody LOVES the stairs!! When it gets quiet and he is not in eye site you can find him going towards the stairs. He waits near them until he sees us and then takes off towards them. Justin and I will say "Brody, no no" and shake our head. Brody then will shake his head and laugh. Its pretty funny and we try not to laugh in front of him.


Going grocery shopping has become crazy. We usually go first thing in the morning before it gets crowded and Brody would sit perfectly in the cart. Now, it is torture going. He is constantly trying to stand up-even with his strap on and starts throwing fits. I guess, I will have to wait for Justin to get home and then go.
The car seat has become the enemy. Just this past week he has started throwing fits when I put him in. It's not a quick fit either. One day he cried for 30 minutes while in it. I have no clue what is going on with my sweet, lovable baby boy.



About 6 weeks ago, Brody got a severe case of diaper rash. I couldn't figure out why he was pooping so much. He went from 1-2 dirty diapers a day to 6 or 7. He poor little hiney was raw, he screamed when I would wipe him. He refused to sit down in the tub and when I made him, I felt like the worst parent ever because it hurt him so bad. Several oatmeal baths and some stuff called Bag Balm(its used on cows utters-best stuff ever!)cured it. I finally figured out he was teething and soon he had 3 more teeth. I think we are about to go through the same thing again as his dirty diapers have increased and has had a snotty nose the last two days.
