Baby, Tanta & Shorge

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas. I sure did. I loved celebrating the "Baby" and also got very excited when talking about "Tanta". What fun! We even got some snow to go with it. A couple days before Christmas we went up to Greenville to visit friends of Mommy and Daddy. I vaguely remember them from when I was really little. They were pretty cool.

The night before Christmas Daddy helped me write a note to Tanta. We put the note with his cookies and milk. I think he was impressed with my writing. He ate and drank the entire thing.

Christmas morning with Mommy, Daddy and GiGi. Don't be fooled by my face. I was having a great time. Not too sure why I had to keep opening gifts though. I liked it for a minute but then I just wanted to play with my old stuff.

I'm thinking of starting a band. Want to join? I get to play guitar and keyboard and dance...okay? My most favorite song on the keyboard is some sort of polka. It really gets the crowd dancing and laughing too.

SHORGE!!! I was so glad my Grandma Dede and Grandpa Chuck got me my very own Curious George. Shorgie and I like to cuddle and watch Curious George on TV. Even Wrigley knows to stay away from this stuffed animal. He is special.

I got a sled too. Not sure what sledding is but it sounds like a thrill.

Grandma and Grandma Parrott got me my first car. I'm pretty comfortable behind the wheel. With a little more practice I will really get going fast. For now, I like others to push me around.

I also got a new train table. I LOVE to play with my cars and choo choos on it. It's been entertainment for hours already.

So I know how to respond to questions a little bit. My parents will ask me if I like something and I say yes or no. I'm also learning manners. I usually say thank you when someone gives me something. I'm still working on the please thing. I tend to be a little impatient when it comes to wanting things. I usually get a little frustrated. I am trying to figure out how to channel my frustrations. Boy, it's tough growing up. I got so irritated the other night at dinner that I threw some of my dinner on Wrigley. That was a bad choice. I got in some deep trouble and then went to bed early. Mom and Dad knew...I was tired.

Well stay tuned..my dad put down a new tile floor in my bathroom. It's pretty snazzy! Pics to follow next week.

I know I'm definitely blessed by my family. I hope you all feel blessed and loved by yours.

Happy New Year!

Uh Oh!

Uh oh...snow is messy. I didn't know how to handle the white stuff on my boots. Then, when Mom and Dad told me I could sit in it, I was really perplexed. I guess when you wear snowpants, coats, hats and mittens you can roll around in the snow and it's okay. Kinda cool!

Dad and I are shoveling the sidewalk. Dad says he's not a fan of shoveling but when you live in the city you HAVE to shovel your sidewalk or you pay a fine. I can't wait to get to shovel. I think throwing the snow is FUN!

I really like "stickies". I often put them in my mouth for some reason. Here I am making a sticker collage and having a couple for a snack.

Only 4 more days till Christmas. Are you all as excited as I am? Can't wait to share with you all my happenings. Oh, I got to make Christmas cookies this past weekend. YUM! I ate some cookie dough, it was tasty.

Ho! Ho! Ho! That's what I say when people talk about Santa.

Merry Christmas,

Brody

Belated Posting

Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay in my postings these past few weeks. It's been super busy with Christmas right around the corner, basketball season starting up and all sorts of other happenings. There's been no time to blog!

Anyway, no pics this week. I will have some next week. I have been plugging away at my vocab. You ask me to say something...I say it. I'm much like my name...parrott (oops) I mean parrot. I have also been mastering my puzzles, my reading, my shooting baskets, and my household chores. Did I tell you that I get to feed the dog sometimes? I do really well at it and I know it helps out my mom and dad.

Christmas is coming. I can't wait to see what "Tanta" leaves at my house. I think a scooter may show up at my house or maybe even some "Shorge" books or DVDs. I love to watch Curious Shorge these days. It stinks that he's only on at certain times. With a DVD, I can watch him whenever I want.

Enough about me. Christmas is about "Baby". I say good morning and good night to Baby Jesus who sits on our bookshelf with our nativity scene. I like the baby and I've been told he is the reason for the season. Cool!

Hope you all are enjoying your moments. Don't fret, just enjoy the ones you love:)

Love,

Brody

Santa Baby

"Ho ho ho!" That's how you talk Santa language. I got to visit with Santa last weekend. He always makes me crack up. I did so well at my mom's work Christmas party that they asked to use the picture of Santa and I for an advertisement next season. My modeling career is beginning to take off!

I got to see the Michigan Theater for the first time. It was a pretty neat place.

Just goofing around! I really like to be silly. As you can see...

This week I learned how to say a few more things. I said "Thank you Mommy" after she helped me get some tupperware out of the drawer. She looked shocked that I said it. Along with learning how to say more words, I am learning how to follow directions. When I'm asked to put away my toys, I pick them up. When I am asked to pick out a book to read, I grab one of my favorites from the shelf. It's fun to follow directions- most of the time. My dad's basketball season began this past week. I had a blast going to watch the "ball" and the "kids". Those bleachers make awesome roadways for my truck and my new bus.

Enjoy the snow! Bundle up...it's "Brrr" out there.

Simon Says...

Thanksgiving was fabulous once again. I ate like a champ, played hard, and took a nap. Couldn't ask for better. I love to run down the hills at Gamma and Poppy's house. Check me out below! I also love to play Simon Says- I guess that's what it's called when you repeat everything you hear or are told. I can pretty much say any word that I'm asked to say. It may sound a little jumbled but I know what I'm saying.

I really like my Aunt Weny. I don't really say the "d" but she knows what I mean. I learned her name by visiting the restaurant Wendy's. After I put everything together, it was easy.

Cousin Jeff and Uncle Steven and I played cards at Thanksgiving. I love to shuffle the cards! I also had a blast dancing to the beat of Grandpa Steve's guitar. Check out my video on the blog (when it decides to work). It's hilarious!!!

The day after Turkey Day I went to the zoo. It was cool to go to the zoo in the dark. They had all sorts of lights. Here I am pretending to be a lion. "Grrrrrr!!!!"

I even got to see Santa and the Mrs. at the zoo. They were nice and gave me a candy cane. I also go to make a Christmas cookie and a snowman ornament. What a blast!

Hope you are enjoying the pretty "hot" (aka- lights) on people's houses. I think people should light up their yards year round. It is so pretty to look at.

Love you all.
