My sweet Brody is FOUR!!!

My little guy at just a few days old:

Brody's 3rd Birthday! 

Brody at 4! 

 

Brody had a great birthday.  He wanted an "Angry Birds" theme (or Mad Birds, as he calls them) and then we topped it off with a Lightning pinata ;)  The party was really relaxed and fun and I think all the kids had a great time.  Brody is the BEST gift receiver, ever.  He is so gracious and truly appreciates every thing he receives and gets SO excited.  It's as much fun to watch him receive gifts as it is for him to open them! 

We decided to switch pediatricians, so Brody's well child appointment was conducted at the new place.  Brody had a horrendous ear infection and the doctor asked if he is normally a very stoic child because he was so happy in the exam room, despite the super painful looking infection.  Brody needs 4 vaccinations, but we held off because of his illness and head back in about 10 days.  Everything else looked great (his first urinalysis!) and I had to chuckle when he proudly told the nurse his favorite color is PINK.  Brody is 35lbs and 40".
