He is up and going...going...going

Look close and you can see black paint from his "crib chewing breakfast". Whoops...messy and not very tasty. 
The many faces of Brock! This is the day he took his first 3 steps. Both Brandon & I were there to see him take off!



Brock is walking! I am very excited about it too. I have been waiting for the day when his hands would no longer be on the ground...ewwww so dirty! But now, he is walking...and that means he will be running very soon...away from me I'm sure. 

PCB...here's Brock!

water time...the best time
Our 5-29 baby
Whooops...right through our family sunset picture! 
pool time...the best time
beach time...the best time
walk time...the best time
Hello..."I'm watching my dvd and eating breakfast"
sand time...the best time

Happy Birthday Brock!

Brock turned 1 this past weekend! WOW! His first year has flown by. Brock had many friends & family join us on Saturday for a great day to celebrate his first year of life. He loved everything about it... people, food, cake, gifts, excitement & all! He got a TON of GREAT gifts! And loves them all...THANK YOU to everyone! But I think his very favorite is the "happy birthday" balloon we got at the Dollar General for $1! He hasn't let it go. 

There's that balloon...
Brock's surfer Mickey Mouse cake was so cute & delicious too! (But where's Mickey now??...does anyone know?...he's missing...)
Presents, presents everywhere! And a lot of super duper helpers too!
Mmmmm chocolate cake...a smeary mess! And what were we thinking all wearing white? We all had chocolate on us. 
Pure JOY!

Here comes trouble...

Dog bowls...yippeee...splash...splash in Abby's water. Completely soaked from Abby's water bowl is best! Brock splashes until all the water is gone. 
Notice Abby's concern as Brock takes over her room. 

Every day Brock waits for the bathroom door to come open so he can slip in there and undo the entire roll of toilet paper. 
Eating outside makes the mess a little bit more fun! This is strawberries and bananas. 

Watch out dishwasher...once I climb on...I like to jump up and down too!
Too cool for my shades.
Yum Yum bananas! More on his face than in his mouth. 
Brock is all about finding some mischief these days. Whether it's making a mess with his meals or just finding things to climb on...he is on it and into it!!! You gotta watch him...he's quick!

11 months TODAY!

Hi!

Our Brock-STAR!
Brock is 11 months old today...April 29th! He is growing so fast and he has got the cutest personality...as you can probably see in these pictures. He has learned how to say "hi" and wave. He can give you "FIVE" and loves to play outside. (good thing the weather has been beautiful here!) 

The video below is in honor of Vickie (my mom-in-law)...see there is sound on your camera! 

No need for a video camera!

Brock's 1st Easter

Brock's first Easter was a wonderful day celebrating our Risen Lord Jesus Christ. The weather was beautiful and Brock had so many new experiences. On Saturday we had to hunt down the Easter Bunny too. As you can see Brock couldn't stop watching him. 

"He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said." Matthew 28:6

Trying new things...

Yum Yum... celery!

Brock enjoys trying new foods...but quickly decides he doesn't like it most of the time. He loved his first biter biscuit...however, so did Abby. Brock was being so sweet and trying to share with Abby, but instead she snatched it away from him and swallowed it. He then looked at me and reached out his hands for another. So he got biter biscuit #2... 5 minutes after biter biscuit #1. He definitely enjoyed it! Check out his excitement in the video below.
