Brodie Carson Schell

Brodie Carson was born May 20th, 2007 3 weeks before his due date. And only 9 days before Mommy's Birthday! Brodie weighed 7lbs 6 oz and was 19 inches long. Brodie was by far my most difficult and painfull labor! he like all my other children came out face up, but he also came out face first and at only 8cm dialated, and all this was done unmedicated!

I knew from the moment Brodie was born he was a Brodie and that he was going to be a big boy, and that he would eventually be bigger than his big brother. and he is lol he is our linebacker.

Brodie is a wonderful, brilliant, and spirited child. He is a HAM for sure! he makes EVERYONE laugh and makes silly faces and loves to make you laugh. Me and Jer always say is going to be the class clown in school.

Brodie has dark Blonde hair, honey colored eyes and a dark complexion. His favorite foods are TOTTIES! or better known as Potatoes lol. and also Bananas. He LOVES ALL ANIMALS!

Brodie was diagnosed with Sensory Autism a few months ago. He is high functioning and has Therapy weekly and has improved so much with it! He has trouble with vocabulary but does great at signing. He is not dumb and it upsets me when ppl find out he has this and try to treat him as such. He is just like any of his brother or sisters, just needs a little help with dealing with things around him. He is VERY smart too. as our most kids with Autism he has certain areas that he excells at, and does better than most children. He LOVES CARS! anything to do with things that fly, go Choo Choo or vroom vroom lol. He loves to be outdoors and exploring and he scares me to death with what he is willing to try and do.

He is a COMPLETE mamas boy and love loves to cuddle with me. he loves to laugh and smile and he is the sunshine to my life. He is what makes the days brighter for sure and it makes me sad to think of what it will be like when he starts school :(

Brodie also has Kidney Reflux along with IBS. As of September his last VCUG he still has stage 3 Reflux in his right kidney and they think it may be best to eventually do surgery on him. He goes to see a pediatric Urologist in Jan to talk about this.

Besides Cars, Trains, Planes, and Animals, Brodie ADORES his baby sister. She is the one that he seems to tolerate most and does the most with besides Ash of course. he is going to make someone a very happy wife someday as well..and I just know that he will go far in life and make us all proud!
