2 weeks



So far it's been pretty fun. Brody is turning out to be a very inquisitive fellow. He loves to look at stuff, even though they say he can't really see good. He sure does a good job faking it. I keep getting the feeling he is about to make a comment about something he is looking at.

When people are around talking he has to be there in the middle of it, watching. It's almost scary because I feel like he is thinking "as soon as I learn how to talk I'll straighten these people out". If it wasn't for the pooping and crying I'd think he was the smartest person in the room. I left out feeding because every man wouldn't mind hanging out on the boob 6-8 time a day, if was socially acceptable.

Last weekend we took him down Duval street (the main drag)
He might be the youngest person to ever do the "Duval Crawl", so to speak. He watched his 2nd sunset like he had seen a million of them, as people walked by and admired his cuteness.

His 1st sunset was on his 1 week anniversary. We figured since he was born in Key West it is only fitting the boy has a start he can brag about.
"I've been watching sunsets since I was 1 week old" For all the women readers, you've got to understand it's just a man thing.

Of course it was his mama that did the honors, I was home sick in bed. I'm sure he'll give me a hard time about it later.

CO is doing really good and can't wait until Brody thinks of her as more than just the mobile food machine. My mom has been extremely helpful. She is like the baby whisperer. We are going to start recording her to watch how she puts the peace on him. I'm thinking it's prayer, but she does have a great deal of skill when it comes to pleasing others. Especially little cute people.

Oh Wow - I finally got around to catching up on the Ray household (thanks to Russ for reminding me) - the goodness of God is incredible! Man, you gotta write a book or something - your blogs are almost as entertaining as the WWII book I'm reading (Operation Jedburgh). I still need to make it to the keys before you guys head back north.
