Like a leaky faucet...

I was looking back through the many photos we have taken of Brody over the past few months and have begun to realize a common theme. We have few photos of Brody WITHOUT a bib! All of the cute outfits, and he's got on a smelly bib to protect himself from the never ending drool. Not only does the drool soak through his shirts, it can sometimes be a bit comical to watch so much drool come out of one little guy. Here's one of my favorite shots...
Since Brody was 2 months old, he's been like a leaky faucet. Everyone told us, "Oh, babies drool when the are teething." We thought 2 months was a little young to begin teething...especially since he only recently cut his first two teeth. Nonetheless, there hasn't been a day in the past 5 and a half months that Brody hasn't worn a bib.

On a recent trip to the Midwest to visit family, Brody attended his first wedding. I bought him a cute "big boy" button down shirt, khaki pants, and some cute shoes to wear. I secretly hoped that he could survive the wedding and reception without a bib so that he could look a little more grown up. Well, he made it through the wedding ceremony, but the bib came out after only a few minutes at the reception.


Perhaps the leaky faucet will dry up soon or perhaps it will slow down as more teeth come in. Either that, or I'll be forced to carry around a drool towel with me to wipe things up as we go. Just what I need...one more thing in my already overflowing diaper bag.
