Outwitted & Outsmarted

I just now discovered that sometime on either Saturday or Sunday Brody turned my phone to "silent" mode, which would explain why I haven't received my daily calls from Citi Mastercard offering me fraud protection on my account or Magazines 4 Less offering me Playboy at a discounted rate. (Yeah, 'cause that's what I need- a monthly glossy two page fold-out reminder of what my boobs used to look like before pregnancy etc. Nothing depressing about staring at a 20 year old's ripe melons while realizing mine, at 28, more closely resemble fruit roll ups. Nothing depressing about that at all.)

Oh, yeah, um... where were we? Oh yes, cell phones. Ahem. (Sorry Dad, Dan & Bob, I owe ya'll a brain eraser.)

I find it highly suspicious that a 2.5 year old knows which button auto-dials Brent, Guhgie (my mom), GuhPapa (Brent's parents), can turn a phone to "silent" mode, and work the Tivo remote, but he can't take a poop in the potty.

Did you notice how I snuck that in there... the "2.5" part?  Brody turns two and a half this month. He's getting so tall and skinny. He's definitely grown taller, but hasn't put on much (if any) weight. His speech has become much clearer, and he talks in four or five word sentences. He's currently in love with anything dinosaur, especially books. He won't go to bed at night until both Brent and I have each read him at least 3 books.

And, as a final step away from babyhood, there is no sign of anything baby in the house! He's been out of his crib for a while, but I still had his changing table up. Well, we took that down a few weekends ago, and I must confess, I cried a little. (Ok, a lot. My baby's not a baby anymore! It's final! I think my ovaries might have freaked out just a little, because I swear I was temporarily blinded by insanity and all I could think was, "MUST MAKE NEW BABY! MUST MAKE NEW BABY!" Thankfully Brent reminded me oh-so-kindly that I suck at all things pregnancy and postpartum, and then later handed me a Yaz before bed.)
