While this shot was from October on Brody's 2nd birthday, it's applicable for my post today, January 10th, because today Brody is napping without his "LuLu" (Pacifier) for the FIRST TIME EVER!  

On his second birthday (October 20th) he still hadn't referred to himself as "Brody" but would tell people "I'm Baby."  That was, after all, what we called him for the majority of his first two years.  When asked at his little birthday dinner party (with family friends the Rogers)  if he was Brody, he pounded his fists on the table, scrunched up his nose, and retorted, "No!  I'm baby!"  

But this past Sunday he was given a BIG BOY party complete with cup cakes, a present, and lots of "Happy Big Boy Day to you" singing.   LuLu's been gone ever since.  But so have naps... until today.  Ah, the peace!
