Get Ready, Get Set...

but not going yet! Brock is trying to move! He has been getting up on all fours and rocking, scooting, and lunging. Crawling will likely be next whether we are ready or not. We finally got some pictures of his new moves. Enjoy!

Weekend fun!

Wow, we have had a couple busy weekends. Last weekend we had a neighborhood get together at our house, did a bedroom remodel, and celebrated Father's Day. Cory, in case you haven't noticed by the pictures, is greatly enjoying his role as Dad. His first Father's Day was not very glamorous, but he did manage to squeeze in some hammock time and get a good dinner. This weekend we went to the Reno Rodeo, spent some time in Tahoe and had another get together at our house. A bunch of college friends with NEW babies got together for the first time w/ kids. So strange to think we are all now parents! Brock is still growing fast and doing new things everyday. He can get up on all fours now and do some rocking. In the last week or so he has added several new "words" to his vocabulary including, gaga, baba, blabla, and Cory's favorite...dada! There a few more I can't spell.

Brock loves our new pool!

Six Months...

...and some change. Brock had his six month check up last week. He is growing bigger by the day and now weighs 16 lbs, 4oz. (about 25th percentile) and is 26 inches long (50th percentile). In case you were wondering, Brock is still keeping us up at night! On a good night he gets up twice and on a bad night he gets up, well, maybe a half dozen or so times. During the day he is an absolute joy!! He loves to play, experiment with new food, talk, and many other fun things. He is still a water baby, loves swimming, splashing, and bathtime. Brock can no longer be left alone for very long as he will roll or scoot under the furniture or across the room. That is our big boy in a nutshell...so much fun!
Brock likes to try to feed himself...very messy!

Michigan or bust....

As you may already know, all of Cory's extended family lives in Michigan. We have been wanting to go for a while and finally made the trip this past week. As usual we had a fabulous time, eating, visiting, hugging, laughing, eating...oh and did I mention eating! We are always fed well when we visit! Brock loved meeting all of his great aunts, uncles, cousins and, especially his Great Grandma! He had plenty of smiles to go around.



Brock was a hit on the plane. The flight attendants kept stealing him.



Cousins Neil, Jill and Cole. Cole had to check Brock out.


Cousin Justin just graduated High School and is off to college on a full ride Basketball scholarship. How is the view from up there Brock?

Aunt Katie

We got a special visit from my best friend from High School, Katie. Her boyfriend Jeremy and "son" Oscar (doggy) came along too! We had a great time hanging out and catching up. Katie just graduated with her Masters in Nursing...YEAH! Between that and working full time she is due for a break! We are glad her first stop was Reno!
