Paddles Up

 My Mimi sent me some more pics from the beach that I didn't have on my camera. My uncle brought some paddle boards that weekend, and Brock had to try one of them out. I think he's got it.

My Baby's Growing Up

I was looking through some pictures from Brock's first two weeks. I cannot believe how much he has changed. Crazy!!

Complete peace...

Hi, I'm new here...

I'm okay as long as my hands are next to my face :)

What is the meaning of this?

Wanna box?

We've Got the Giggles

Baby's been sleeping in his crib, but the night of the tornado warning we decided to have him sleep in our room. He woke up when I came to bed, and we got a case of the giggles. Such a happy guy :)

Tornado Warning

The National Weather Service has issued a tornado warning for the viewing area effective until 20:13 01/26/2012. Leave mobile homes and vehicles and take shelter indoors. Stay away from windows. The safest places in your home are interior hallways, closets, and bathrooms.

Shake That Thing

Just shakin' a rattle. It doesn't take much to entertain him sometimes.

Bouncin' Baby Boy

He likes to bounce. In his bouncer. In his Jumperoo. In his Johnny Jump-Up. On your lap. On his rear. Anything will do.

Baby Giraffe

This toy belonged to me when I was a baby. We just got it out the other day and he was fascinated with it. It rattles and I guess it feels good to chew on. Just what he needs right now :)

Say Banana

I'm sure this has nothing to do with the fact that "N" was the first consonant sound Brock ever made and that he babbles "na na na" to himself all day. I'm sure this has much more to do with the fact that he knows exactly what he's eating for breakfast...and that he's gifted of course.

p.s. I accidentally published yesterday's post late, so if you haven't seen it, check it out :)

Rockin' Out

Here's what dinner looks like lately. He's taken to rocking, so we like to put some tunes on and rock out. The rocking works best if it's between bites, but sometimes it's during a bite, as you'll see. We are good at finding new ways to get messy. Anyway, dinner time is always fun around here :)

Playing with Dad

I love these boys :)

Your hair is prickly, Daddy.

I like your nose.

Aw Dad, why do you always blow in my face?

Daddy kisses :)

We're excited about something!

Hang on, I'm concentrating on my toes.

Look, I'm playing with Daddy!

More pictures? Okay.

Giggle, giggle. Daddy makes me laugh.

Are you for real?

Who, me?

Sophie Squeaks

Now that we have a plethora of toys, some hang out in the toy box for a little while as we explore new ones. Sophie the Giraffe was an early favorite and had been taking a break for a bit. Since teething should be right around the corner and she is perfect for chewing, we decided to get her out. She was a hit again. Man, he loves this giraffe!

Peek a Brock

Aunt Ashley really can get him laughing. Here's a fun game of peek a boo. He seems very surprised every time!

Art Lesson #2

We had some food paint left over so we thought we'd do another art lesson. This time, Brock did a little painting and then spent the rest of the time playing with the paper that I had taped to his tray. He was determined to get his little hands on it. I was impressed at how quickly he figured out how to get at  it. Not what I had in mind, but he had fun :)

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

It's fun having mirrors for closet doors. It makes a pretty entertaining place to play for our little guy.

A Duck Out of Water

 Aunt Ginny and Uncle Mikey came over the other day. Ginny thought Brock needed some play time in his duckie even though it wasn't bath time. He tried splashing, but to his dismay, there was no water. Luckily, he still had fun posing for some pictures and playing with his aunt and uncle :)

Finger Lickin' Chicken

Thought you might be interested in how his face always manages to get so messy at mealtime. First the food goes in his mouth, then his fingers go in his mouth, then...
