Update Finished!

Again with the roaster - you may notice, he doesn't fit quite the same as he did a month or so ago. He has grown 3 1/2 inches since October and gained 2 pounds. He is now 39lbs and 34 1/2 inches.
Hiding out eating his Oreo. You do have to hide to eat those around here you know! :)
This is what your first experience eating a real banana looks like. Note to mom: next time, use the booster seat and strap him down! It was too cute regardless of the mess!
We love our pj Saturdays!
Just some cheesy grins to share!

Happy Valentines Day! It's so funny to look at the difference in that first year!

Nap time! He only takes one nap a day now. So you may be questioning where Brock is right now and how I have time to do this update... well he is not napping - look below:I put him up to the table with my old laptop and let him at it. I downloaded my itunes with some cartoons and he is all set to work at the table with Momma!
Brock loves being outside! He splashes in the puddles, wades in the mud and loves being at Pa's barn! We have some pictures of that too... just on the other camera... so you'll have to wait on those! I am still happy to be back in Michigan and loving my job, as a teacher and as a mom!
Well there, you have it! We are doing great, loving life and having a blast!

Update continued


Brock still loves his Biscuit! When you ask him what the doggy says, he pants. He is constantly learning. He does a fair amount of talking, a lot of it is gibberish of course but I am positive it means something to him! He blows kisses and high fives, and at church, he often shakes hands.
Kicked back watching cartoons! He loves Handy Manny and Pooh and Friends. He is partial to anything that has music. Mickey Mouse is a favorite as well.
SuperBowl Sunday - I am all to aware of the fact that the Lions were no where near Super Bowl, however, we were donning our Lions apparel regardless. In all honesty, we didn't even watch much of the game. I am sure there was something more pressing at the time.


Brock puts many things in my roaster and carries them around. This particular day, he decided it was a good place to put himself. I thought is was quite cute! He finds some interesting uses for many things.


I've been reminded that it's been awhile since I've updated. Needless to say, I just don't have the free time I once had! It's been a blast but wow... talk about busy! Some days it is just being busy with our cars on the floor, some days it is throwing a ball about the living room, once in awhile we are busy reading a book, regardless of the activity, we have been busy! :) And I do love staying busy!
Brock creating his masterpiece. His first drawings were framed and given to Grandma and Grandpa. They were just beautiful of course.
Brock loves to talk. Here he is on his cell phone talking to Uncle Randy I believe. He is certainly a multitasker, riding his lion while carrying on a conversation. Such talent!
Empty bottle... might as well sleep! I love this picture. He actually fell asleep with his head on the old answering machine. I'd think it was a bit uncomfortable. Of course, he didn't stay there long, I did pick him up and take a cat nap with him!
Brushing the teeth is a great habit to get into so we are starting that young. He does love to do it too. I am sure it is playing in the water that he likes, regardless the pearly white are getting the benefit of it all!
