I can't believe one year ago today I gave birth to the most precious child on God's green earth. I have loved every moment of being his mommy. Thank you, Jesus, for the amazing gift of Brock.
Yeah, I look good :)

It took me a long time to decide when Brock should get his first hair cut. Was I going to be sentimental about it? Would I hold out until his first birthday? Sometime in month 11, it had to be done. In lieu of the $20 children's salon up the road, I scoured the internet for some instructions, bought some hair cutting scissors at Walmart, and decided to give it a try. I put him in a high chair, popped in a DVD, and gave him some toys. No dice. As soon as my fingers touched his hair he started pushing them away, squirming, and eventually screaming. I chopped off the back between screams and called it a day. A few days later, I tried again. I got a few snips around the sides. That's it. We made another attempt later that week with the same results. Later, I enlisted a helper who held him while I cut. I got a few clips at his bangs, and then he was absolutely finished with it. More screaming. I had just about given up on finishing the hair cut when I noticed one day that he let me run my fingers through his hair while he was playing in the bathtub. The rest is history.
At least we got the bangs out of his eyes today...
We introduced Brock to hummus the other day. He really really liked it. Everything was going splendidly...until we tried to get him to finish his regular lunch food.
