Rearranging my room

Okay, what can I do today? Something just isn't quite right....

Continued...

Let's move this bear....

Now we're getting somewhere.

Perfection!

Bear Crawl

I'm trying out this new way of crawling. What do you think? I've been doing it all day.

Green Jammies

"Yes Mom...I'm listening"

I love my green jammies
Go long Dad!

Memorial Day Fun

Mom gave Keira and me this basket of tupperware to play with. We had a blast

Swimming x2

Me and Daddy

Me and Mommy

We went swimming again. The water was colder this time. I was thirsty and wanted to take a drink but Daddy wouldn't let me.

Baby Einstein

Daddy needed to test the DVD player and decided to open up my Baby Einstein DVD. I have never seen anything so beautiful and captivating before. I couldn't even blink.

I love you

This is me attempt at saying, "I love you". Mom and Dad are always telling me to say this or say that. Well, I have the important one down..."Night Night"! Maybe Dad can get that on video sometime this weekend. Nana and Grandpapa heard me say it last night. They didn't fully believe Mom when she told them I could say night night. But last night they heard it too!

Poker anyone?

There was a poker game at Frank and Vero's and I wanted to play. I went all in on a 2 of hearts and a 7 of clubs.
This is all I had left after Brian beat my hand with a 3 of spades and a 9 of diamonds.

He had no right calling me with that garbage!

Busy weekend

Mom and Dad took me swimming for the first time on Saturday.

They said I did great. That was the biggest coldest bathtub I had ever seen.

Daddy and me. I think Dad may have had more fun than I did.

I love my cousin Brayden and it looks like he loves me too!

On Sunday we went over to Uncle Frank and Aunt Vero's place. Mom brought some of my favorite toys and I shared them with Keira.

Keira brought some toys too, but she didn't want me to see her cell phone. All I had to do was smile and she caved in!

The monkey and the music...

I love my activity table. It does so many things. I like to set it to the music mode and sing to my monkey. He thinks I'm a rock star...or as Mom calls me, a Brock Star!

Photos of me

This is my magic wand. It gives me special powers. I carry it around the house with me at all times.
I had a rough day. I got my first tooth and it really hurt. At least I have my favorite blanket and my wand to make me feel better.

This is the way the table looked Mother's Day morning. Daddy got mom the strawberries and I made her the cake. We both got her the roses.

I love my Mommy and Daddy. They make me laugh.

If you look real close, you might be able to see my tooth. Maybe I'll let mom get a better picture of it later.

This was taken on our front steps right before we went to P.F. Chang's for Mother's Day dinner. I got to see Nana, Grandpapa, Aunt Britta, Uncle Matt, Auntie Em, Uncle Ben and my cousin Brayden.

Weekend Update

Hello everyone. This is Brock's mom. I have been having terrible luck updating this blog lately. I don't know if it's a computer issue or a camera issue (I always blame computers). Let me just tell you about our weekend and then I'll add photos later. I took Friday and Monday off so I got to spend 4 wonderful days with Brock and Josh.

On Friday, Brock had his 9 month check up and everything went well. His doctor was a bit concerned about his weight and said we need to try to beef him up a little. Here are his stats: Head 60%, Length 55%, Weight 20%. He loves to eat so it shouldn't be too hard to add an extra meal to his day. His crawling probably affected his weight more than anything else.

Saturday he got his first tooth! The bottom left one. He is really "growing up" SO fast!

Sunday was my first Mother's Day and we celebrated with a delicious breakfast, a trip to the park and a family dinner at P.F. Chang's.

Monday was just a Monday. I got a few things done around the house and enjoyed spending time with Brock.

Tuesday I was offered the weekend baylor position at the hospital I used to work for. I have truly loved being the quality control analyst for Park Nicollet. My current job is the perfect "job" for me. It challenges me and allows me to educate my co-workers. I feel I have a huge impact on the improvement within the radiology department. However, Brock is 9 months old now and I feel this time has slipped away from me. I have also missed patient care and taking x-rays. Josh and I discussed it and today I am going to accept the offer. I will work every Saturday and Sunday from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm and one extra shift every two weeks and get paid for full time (80 hours/pay period). This will allow me to spend Monday-Friday with my dear Brock! It will also free up my Mon-Fri schedule (if anyone was thinking about a visit :)
I will keep you all posted as to my start date. I have to finish up some projects in my current position before they will allow me to transfer.

Look for some wonderful photos in the near future. I'll figure out what the problem is and get some posted soon.

Have a great Wednesday!

Happy boy

So much has happened since Friday. I am going to have to blog for each day. This is today, May 12th. My mom got a new camera and she really likes it. I like it too when she turns off the flash!

Charge!

I can crawl SO fast.

Bath Laugh

I love bath time!

Pickles

That green thing looks amazing. What is it?

This is a tasty little thing....

Once I did this, Mom took it away. She said something about choking and then my new green toy was gone :(

Gimmie that camera!

Stink Face

Last night I decided to teach Mom a lesson about when to put the camera away. She kept taking pictures and asking me to smile and I didn't want to. Check out these great faces. My favorite is the last one!


That's right MOM. No more pictures.

(Even Dad had to react to this face)

Visit to the Park

It was a beautiful day today and Mom took me to the park. We had a blast. I had fun in the swing and then Dad came and we went down the slide together. Then I took a nice nap on the walk home. When I woke up we all went over to Aunt Britta and Uncle Matt's house for a BBQ. It was fun seeing everyone. Aunt Emily, Uncle Ben, Brayden, Nana and Grandpapa were all there too.

To smile or not to smile...

From the day Brock could smile, he has always put on his game face when it comes to taking pictures. But lately, he has learned that it's fun to make "other" faces instead. Here's Brock last night in his high chair after dinner. About half way through the clip he thought I changed to the camera mode and gave me a quick smile. Soon he realized it was still recording and continued his show.

What a goof!

All gums

It took a few minutes, but I got my smile.
Out of all of his faces I still love "this" face the most.

Demolition

Today I learned how to drink from a sippy cup.

I also learned how to take apart my play mat. It was a good day!

Wee!!!!

I gave Mom a run for her money trying to get a smile out of me. She failed!

Better luck next time Mom.

On the move...

Well, I think we can officially say that Brock "CAN" crawl. He takes his time, but with the proper motivation, he moves forward on hands and knees, and sometimes stomach. Henry and his ball were the motivation Brock needed tonight! After I shot this video Brock turned himself around and begun pulling clean laundry onto the floor. What a helpful little boy I have!

Jibberish

Sometimes I wish Mom knew what I was trying to tell her.

Spring in my step

Now that I know how this thing works, I think it's awesome! My mom and dad were cracking up!

Smile, it's Sunday!

I love to get dressed....and undressed! I just learned how to unfasten my diaper.

My cousin Brayden came over to hang out today. We only got two pictures together because I grabbed onto Brayden's hair right after this picture was taken.

Can you blame me...he has hair as soft as silk!
