Brocks Blessing Day

Today was Brock's Blessing day. We are so blessed to have such an amazing baby boy. We love him so much. We were so lucky to have be able to bless him with our famly around us.
Brock was blessed in the Garfield 5th ward. Michael did the blessing at it was wonderful. So many things to look forward to.
Happy family!

We had a brunch after the blessing, we had all kinds of fruit and fruit dip, cream puffs, mini quiches, and muffins. It turned out wonderful.

Thank you to everyone who came! There was so much family here but we missed all that couldn't make it. They were certainly here in spirit. We love you all!

St.Jude Marathon and more fun.


We are feeling even luckier that we live in such a cool spot. I mean who doesn’t love a zoo within walking distance, but 2 parks, beautiful houses, and we found out that the St. Jude marathon is on our street. So on the first of December the St Jude hospital has a marathon, mile marker number 7 and 22 was at our house. Not only were there runners but the church across the street had a live band which was pretty good. And Santa ran around hanging out with people.

Our awesome next door neighbor threw a brunch and invited her friends and us to come over.  We watched until Brock needed a nap but left the window up to watch and occasionally went back outside and chatted with them. It was a fun day. What a good cause to run, and we saw some amazing people running it.

Some pictures:





Family photo December 1st 2012

you should ask Michael how he took this picture: (it involved a stool upside down, sticks, leaves, and tape.) He is our own MacGyver!

So that was a couple weeks ago. Since then we have been finally getting all better (thank goodness), playing, getting ready for Christmas, School, Friends, and Finals! Not to mention our excitement for our big trip out west coming up soon!

And what would a post be without a video and some new pictures of our Brock?


He thinks its hilarious looking at you upside down!

getting into things and loving it. (ok mom helped him get into this mess. but not this one:)
 Pulled mostly everything off the chair.
 

Speaks for itself. LOVED IT too.  He must be related to Aunt Wishead. :)
 
Already knows how to "cheese it"

5 months

 If you want him to smile, Bark like a dog. I did and I got this picture.
 

He weighs about 19 lbs. Size 3 in diapers and 6-9 months in clothes

Our cute boy is 5 months old! This month has been a big month for him! We love watching him grow and having him experience new things

 
 
 

His toes! He loves chewing on his toes now. Which can be bad if his nails aren’t trimmed. His legs are just full of scratches

 

He realized mom took a picture.


Sticking his little "bear bum" in the air!


If he is ever upset take a picture of him. He will be much more interested in the camera than his tantrum (which usually means I put clothes on him.)


 
 
Loves helping mom with the laundry, going for rides and hanging out in the laundry basket


 
He loves playing with toys and doing silly things with them. He certainly has his favorite toys but always loves getting new toys


Our little guy has been in 4 states and is only 5 months old. He did amazing on the road trip, took naps, played with his toys, and just did great.
 
 




Michael calls him "Scooter" because that is exactly what he has been up to this month Scooting around.


He loves people and animals. So far he has never been frightened or afraid of anyone or anything. he will go to strangers just fine, he smiles at anyone who smiles at him, and will laugh and reach for kids. He did cry when our neighbor was holding him but I think that’s because he was sick and tired.



The doctor told us once he started to get used to using a spoon we can give him some more food.
It took about 4 weeks, but now he is very good at it. He started with fruits but honestly doesn’t like them. (I probably had too much when I was pregnant with him since that’s what I craved; I honestly ate 2 watermelons by myself, in a week.) But he loves veggies; green beans have been his favorite as well as carrots, peas and sweet potatoes he liked way more than apples. He does like bananas though.

 
  

He has been very sick this month. He got a nasty cold and it’s turned into a nasty cough. He can’t breathe very good out of his nose in this picture. He has been to the doctor 2 times but of course he’s all smiles at them because they are new and exciting and they are smiling at him. So I think the doctors think we are all crazy for bringing him in, and as soon as they leave he starts crying again.
 

He loves to suck in his bottom lip all the time!
 
 
He has been sleeping better. on average about 5 1/2 hour streches and then a little nap in the morning. Naps are a little bit of a stuggle but he isnt as fussy if he doesn't get a really good one.
 
He is sitting up better but still cant support his whole wieght for very long.
 
He rolls over a lot more and can do it if he wants to.
 
Still is jabbering away
 
Will look at mom or dad if you ask where is mom?? or where is dad??
 
Loves hearing songs. For a fun song his favorite is Old Mcdonald. and for sleepy songs he likes You are my sunshine, Tomorrow (from annie) and I am a child of god.
