Jesus Loves Me Lamb

This sweet little lamb lets you record yourself singing "Jesus Loves Me" so baby can hear your voice at the press of a button. I had fun recording the song for Brock before he was born, and I introduced the two of them the other day. I think they like each other.

Lots of new things to look at!

Are my feet touching yet? 

Team Giraffe

My Mimi loves giraffes. My Pop-Pop loves hippos. Brock's bedroom is jungle themed, so he gets to see plenty of both. But Mimi beat Pop-Pop to the punch in her attempt to win their great grandson to her side. She got Brock a Sophie Giraffe...a special teething toy made of natural rubber with a special scent and feel that babies love. Sophies seem to be all the rage lately and I thought they were new, but apparently they started making them 50 years ago in Paris. Fancy! Sophie is soft, squeaky and easy to hold on to...lots of fun. Thanks, Mimi!!

Sophie Giraffe Story

Get a Grip

He has come so far from just batting at things. He's hanging on to his toys for dear life :) Go Baby!!

Baby Talk

Have you ever heard of Dunstan Baby Language? The idea is that all babies cry using 5 "words" and each one has a specific meaning.

1) Neh = Hungry
2) Owh = Sleepy
3) Heh = Needs a Diaper Change
4) Eh = Needs a Burp
5) Eairh = Has Gas Pain

I was so intrigued by this, albeit skeptical. I watched videos on YouTube, took notes, and listened to see if Brock spoke this universal baby language. I don't think he does. Guess he didn't get the memo. I have learned his sleepy cry, though, and it's pretty obvious. It's the one that sounds like he's too tired to cry. If you're interested, you can watch Dunstan Baby Language Lesson 1 on YouTube. If not, you can check out Brock speaking his own baby language :)

Holey Blanket, Batman!

 Every baby Seminole fan needs plenty of Garnet and Gold. To this end, Jason's mom crocheted a baby blanket for Brock in our team colors. He loves it. So do I. My favorite thing about it is the way his little fingers and toes slip through the holes as he's falling asleep. Sigh. He is so cute.

I Give Up

This is my baby's regular nighttime position. I can't bring myself to swaddle his arms when I put him to bed. They need to be free. Oh man, he's so cute. Aaaah. I hope he always sleeps this well.
