ME & MY BUDDY

Last night we went to visit our friends Jeff, Ali, & their son Blake.

Blake & Brock are about 11 months apart, but they are going to be the best of buddies.

Brock is becoming more alert. He will win you in a staring contest.

I won!!

Look at those cheeks!! I love'em. Brock is really strong. He just learned how to use his legs and stand. He does a really good job. He is also on the verge of smiling. I am going to be posting a video soon on his new achievements.

It is so fun to see the difference in the two boyz. Blake turned 11 months old, & is on the verge of walking. It is fun to think that Brock will be doing that hopefully by the end of the year. It seems like yesterday that Jeff & Ali called us to say their son was born. Time flies!

BROCK IS ONE-MONTH OLD TODAY

Happy one month Brock!! We can not believe it has already been one month. Time flies. He is such a great baby. We have really enjoyed being parents. We love you!

Brock is getting bigger by the minute. He is now up to drinking 3 oz, and it still seems like that is not enough. He loves to eat.

My cousin Kelly made the beanie for Brock. I just love it. He looks so cute. You could just eat'em up.

I'll C-YA all later! I am going to sleep now.

SLEEP, SLEEP, & MORE SLEEP

One of Brock's favorite things to do is sleep. While he sleeps he makes the cutest little faces. He is going to have one cute smile. All the girls are going to fall head-over-heels for that smile.

He could pretty much fall asleep anywhere.

He Loves taking a nap with is DAD.

BATH-TIME

Brock is finally enjoying his bath time. He is so cute when I put him in the bath. He is crying at first, but as soon has he hits the water he is so happy.

Brock has really been changing these past couple of weeks. He is so curious with what he is looking at. He also holds his head up so good. He is going to be one strong boy. It is so fun to see his progress each week. Here is a sneak-peek.

BROCKS 2 WEEK DOCTOR CHECK-UP

We took Brock to his 2 week check-up. He passed with flying colors. Our friends Jeff & Ali refered us to their pediatrican Dr. Mumford, he is awesome. Here are some of Brocks stats....Weight: 8 lbs 7 oz, 37% centile. Length 21.5 in., 71% centile. OFC (head Circumference) 36 cm, 24% centile. Dr. Mumford said we have nothing to worry about, he is as healthy as a OX! His next appointment will be when he reaches 2 months of age.

We are HOME! Sorry it has taken so long for us to post. We just got our Internet hooked up. Well, we made it. After a 12 hour drive and getting pulled over by a highway patrol. (F.Y.I. -the officer let us off the hook) We made it home safe and sound on Wednesday, the 23rd at about 6:00 p.m. We were welcomed home, by our excited families to meet Brock for the first time.

Brock's new aunts, uncles & cousins could hardly wait to see him. They all gathered around to get a closer peak at him.

This is Brocks cousin Bryson, he is 10 months old. He is so excited to have a cousin his age.

This is Brock on the quilt Aunt Bethany made for him. And boy does he love it.

Aunt Bethany and Brock.

This is our good friend Ali.

This is Ali's husband Jeff and their son Blake he is 10 months old. Blake and Brock are going to be the best of buds.

This is sweet little Brock. This is hes favorite way to sleep, with his hands up by his face. We love him so much. WELCOME HOME!

BROCK IS 1 WEEK OLD

Brock loves to be swaddled. He totally goes into a trance. My brother and his wife found this DVD called-"The Happiest Baby On The Block" and they swore by it. It explains soothing techniques that infants love that send them in a zone to quite them down. When my sister Erin adopted Bryson she tried it with him and it worked. So I tried it. And Brock loves it. It really works!

SAYING GOOD-BYE

Last night we took Heather & Aiden out to dinner at Famous Dave's. Boy was is delicious! We had a great time.

This is Aiden's first time eating a rib, thanks to Randy. He loved it. Aiden wasn't very happy when we took it away.

After dinner we went back to Heathers home to say good-bye to her & her family. Grandma Gossett saying her good-bye to Brock.

Rachel & Randy showing our Thanks & Love to Heather for her amazing gift she has given to us. Words can't even begin to express our love to Heather & David. They truly answered our prayers. We became parents to a beautiful little boy. This is a great strength in our lives, for them to listen to the spirit & follow the promptings of the their hearts. THANK YOU & we LOVE you both.
