9 Months Old...Can You Believe It??

All I can say is, he is on the move!! He is a fast crawler and gets into everything. Forget baby toys, Brock is not into them... he only wants to play with "big boy" toys and he has started to follow big brother Landon around everywhere because brother is totally cool. I love watching them start to really interact with eachother, but Landon keeps asking when he is going to start walking and eating chips! lol

The exciting news is, he got his first tooth FINALLY this week :-) I was so happy because I was starting to think he was going to have a gummy smile for his senior pictures!! Like everyother month since he was born, he is a great eater... he wants to eat everything in site. He is on 100% table foods now and I am very proud how he has done being he just got a front tooth. He still has 3- 7oz bottles a day and takes about 2 naps a day... a small on in the AM and a long one in the afternoon.

He is the happiest baby ever and smiles all day long. Brock is starting to test me though, he will do something he is not suppose to do and then look at me and smile and he will keep doing it... then when I start walking towards him he squeals and starts crawling away... stinker!!

Love you Brockie :-)

A Day at the MN Zoo

The boys and I went to the MN Zoo today and had such a good time! We also stopped at Solos Pizza after for some yummy food. Overall... the day was a success!!

I made a collage of some of the pictures from the day :-D

Happy Halloween!!

We had another successful Halloween this year!! Landon was Optimus Prime from Transformers and Brock was a elephant... both absolutely adorable :-)

Here are some pumpkin carving and Halloween Day pictures... enjoy!!

8 Months Old, Baby!!

Brockie is now 8 months old... where to start!! He is now down to three 7oz bottles a day and is eating table food for AM snack, Lunch and Dinner. He loves to eat and is VERY good at it. He even uses a plate for every meal and we are at the point now where is almost makes it the whole meal without throwing it on the floor! He has also started to crawl... and boy, does he get into trouble!! hehehe He is hitting all the same "hot spots" that Landon did at his age... T.V., fireplace, STAIRS and he seems to get stuck underneath all tables!! Still no teeth!!! I have no idea where they are :-O

He and Landon have been "playing" together more often now. Landon is starting to a little more frustrated because Brock seems to like all of Landon's toys and NOT his baby toys! Brock wants to play Cars, Transformers and football... he LOVES football and everytime he holds the ball he goes into a giggle fit :-) One problem with having a 4 year old and a baby on the move is all the little pieces from Landon's toys that Brock likes to put in his mouth... so, now I have the pack and play out in the living room for Brock to play in while Landon has his big boy time on the floor and then we put the "little" toys away and Brock comes out and can have free range to roam without worry!

Waking up and seeing Brock's beautiful smile through the crib makes my day :-D

Seattle Trip!!

Brady had a business trip in Washington State last week and I came and joined him for 4 days and we had soooo much fun. We missed the boys, but having time just the two of us was so wonderful and we have such great memories!!

We visited Mt. Rainier! It grew into a winter wonderland the closer we got to the top. I actually had trouble breathing as we hiked up towards the top, so we only could go so far... I am getting old :(

We drove through the Wenatchee Mountains coming back to Seattle from Yakima.

Pikes Place Market Downtown Seattle... it is well known for its Fish Market where they throw the fish to the register! It was a really cool place :)

We took a one hour boat tour around the bay and it was so cool! Here are some pictures of the view from the boat of the city.

Pictures from one of the piers.

One of the highlights of our trip was going to the Space Needle!! It was so neat at the top and the best part was having lunch at the rotating restaurant :)

Brady's birthday fell on the Saturday we were there... he enjoyed a yummy ice cream sunday at dinner!!
