Just for laughs

Ok so I realized when I got home from our vacation to Utah and Idaho I had dumped my entire camera on our families’ computers. When I got home I realized what pictures I gave them (nothing bad at all) but there were these pictures of Brock on a wrinkled sheet. So I decided I needed to show you what I was doing when I took these pictures, please ignore the wrinkle sheet:

 I think Harry Potter is my favorite one!

Eating some veggie baby cheetos

Loves the taste of octopus

relaxing after a bath

Oh hello there! 

He just loves walking around with something in his mouth, he usually tries to talk while he is doing this too.
We have a silly boy

6 months old

Oh boy oh boy! its crazy how much they can grow in one month!

Stats: weight: 19lbs 8.5oz (82 percentile)

Height: 27.25 inches (77 percentille)

Head: 44.5 cm (71 percentile)

6-9 and 9 month clothes, size 3 in diapers

He is completely mobile in his walker! He will follow you around the house too! 

I wish I could say he can completely sit up on his own but he gets excited and throws himself at things or backwards so not quite yet.

He can pick something up and put it in his mouth, he is starting to be good at self feeding. he usually just sucks on things but lately he has been chomping on it and getting chunks so I haven't given him anything whole for awhile. 

He is a great eater and will open his mouth wide and wait for you! 

He is creeping and rolling all over the floor. 

 

He sticks his bum way up in the air! 

He is so ticklish, and laughs all the time. 

But on the other hand he is so good at throwing tantrums already. This time he is mad since I took away the paper 6, he really wanted it and would not leave it alone it was all crumpled up and ripped when I finally gave up. 

Hes a little swiper, and can change hands when he is holding something. 

He has now met all of his aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents, even his only great grandparent on my side. and loved them all! 

we have an awesome long distant traveler, he has been to 7 states now, been on long car rides, long plane rides, and is totally such a good kid! We were so blessed he didn't throw fits when we where dealing with the canceled flight nonsense, since it was way past his bed time. 

Loves to play.

while we are eating dinner we turn on a show for him to watch, he LOVES Super Why and that't about it. He will fuss and fuss and we turn that on and he knows when it starts and he will watch it til we are done eating. 

We have a huge talker on our hand. He jabbers like he has the best story in the world to tell you and is very animated as well. 

Here is our cute boy! 6  months old and growing!

Visit with the Cole Family. (Christmas Vacation part 3)

After the Blessing on Sunday we hung out and played some games. We had a nice dinner and visited with family. It was nice to relax after preparing for the blessing the night before.

On Monday Rachel and Tyler came up for a visit, we spent the day visiting and hanging out. We made dinner and treats, and watched movies till Midnight to ring in the New Year!

Amy Josh and Brock playing!

Michael is wiped out already and its only 9, we have 3 more hours to go!!

On Tuesday we went to see The Rise of the Guardians. It was a really good movie and Brock did amazing in it. He either sat and watched it or slept, we played in the snow, and Alison, Riley, Ethan and Sadie came to visit!

Brock's' first snow angel, I only helped him with the arms.

He hated the snow suit but it kept him warm so I was happy it was FREEZING!

On Wednesday we all went to I Jump. A wall to wall trampoline place! We had a BLAST and Brock hung out with Grandpa Cole and had a lot of fun as well.

On Thursday we went all spent time together for our last day in Idaho. We made cookies played games and watched movies, and just had fun together.

Sadie and Brock playing

What a cutie!

Josh and Brock playing

We woke up so early to get home the next day. We had no problems with anything, no blow outs or fusses and no canceled flights. Brock did throw a magazine in the aisle of the plane during take-off and we watched it zoom to the back of the plane. Everyone laughed

Overall it was a great visit! We had a lot of fun with everyone and Brock had a so much fun. He loved everyone! And now he does think he needs to be held all the time! We were so spoiled we barely had room to get things home. 

We just wanted to thank everyone for driving to visit us, and for taking time out of their schedules to see us as well, for letting us crash at their house and for making us comfortable. We miss our families a lot out here and everyone made it such a nice visit for us. THANK YOU!

We did in fact do our New Year resolutions from last year! We did our ward callings, Michael got good grades, and we became parents. I had a resolution to be more organized which I was until we moved. And we tried to be healthier.
This year we want to continue to get good grades and be good parents, do well in our callings, And to be healthy. Brock’s resolution is to GROW big. And I’ll add to be more organized again. We also want to have fun and do fun things together as a family.
