A Day with B-R-O-D-Y

Ivan and I had the pleasure of spending the entire day on Sunday hanging out with our nephew, Brody...hard, right? :) Cori worked Saturday night, and Evan was studying hard for a physics and chemistry exam, so we took the little babe with us! Ivan decided to surprise me by taking me to Noah's Bagels (the best bagel store!!!) for a yummy lunch. Then, we had a free coupon for coffee at Starbucks, so we took a little walk to redeem our freshly brewed coffee. We still feel awkward being able to attend church and Life Group on Sundays with NO HOMEWORK!!! We are definitely enjoying this time while we can!


While at Starbucks, a lady was admiring Brody and said, "What a beautiful baby you have there. Good job you two!" As we were explaining to her that he is our nephew, we started laughing and the lady just continued to walk out the door. Well, good job Evan and Cori!!!! We think he is beautiful as well! :)

After coming home, we were able to play with Brody some! He is starting to smile and coo so much, and it makes my heart smile! He also discovered hair yesterday, which was fun but somewhat painful at the same time! I love watching him grow and learn everyday! The picture below is his reaction to me singing the B-R-O-D-Y song to him (the same as the B-I-N-G-O song, but with his name). Cori taught me that song last month, so I sing it to him every time I see him!

Brody loves to talk and stare at his light toys as well!

Ivan looks great holding his first nephew, don't you think?! We had so much fun yesterday, and we were truly reminded of how blessed we are! We became and aunt and uncle to our first niece and nephew all within one month! What a blessing!!! We look forward to more special moments with our nieces and nephews in the future!
