Vaughn practicing for the ladies.

Vaughn is a very sensitive guy. He likes to hug and give kisses. He is also wise. I went shopping today for some shoes and found 4 pair. ( 4 pair too many) Unlike his dad he, watched me put on each pair and said with enthusiasm "I love them, they are my favorite" He even went as far as to ask if I needed his help taking off my sandals. If he keeps this up he will make his wife happy someday.

Fruit Bars

Vaughn is addicted not to chocolate or soda - nope not him - fruit bars for this addict. Every night he wants one before bed. I guess I could look on the bright side at least there is a little bit of fruit juice in each bar (and lots of sugar :)

Watermelon....Baby

Tonight Brock almost finished a whole watermelon. I am serious! I couldn't keep up to him cutting. He just kept eating and eating and grunting and grunting for more. Guess it comes from my side of the family. I think it is his favorite food.

Vaughn "thats a good idea"

Lately, Vaughn has tried to persuade Tony and me by saying "I have a great idea" and then proceeding to tell us how he wants a fruit bar or to go somewhere. After he makes his initial pitch, he follows it up with "that's a good idea". I think I should start using it in my sales pitch, because it most often leads to a compromise.

Brock on the move!

It only took a week. I need to go back a bit. On Fathers day at my sister's house he started to crawl. Then is was a combination of the butt scoot and crawling. This past week the floodgates opened up. Brock pulled himself up on Monday night on his activity table. Then he repeated his performance the next night while waiting for his bath by climbing up the stairs. Now he is standing in his crib and tonight he stood in the boat while in his pack and play through the waves. He also decided he needed to move. We put him behind his walker and he actually took some steps. He is such a determined little guy. He is obsessed with the gold knobs in our bath tub. Tonight when Tony and I gave the boys a bath Brock proceeded to crawl over Vaughn to get to them. Tony and I commented he isn't afraid of going under. He is also going up a few stairs at a time. Time for the baby gates. :) Pictures soon!

Vaughn's Birthday Continued

The birthday week continues. Vaughn brought fruit bars and licorice to his friend and teachers childcare this week. He loves Edy's fruit bars.

On Friday, Nana and II came and picked up Vaughn at childcare and took him to the playground. That morning, I came upstairs and Vaughn was telling Tony what his day was going to look like. He said - " I am going to childcare then we will eat lunch and then Nanna and II are coming to pick me up" I told him he need to call them to see if they would do that. When they picked him up he was napping - apparently so hard that he was drooling and didn't know if he was dreaming or not. Then they went to the playground. That night, Vaughn got his birthday gift from Nanna and II. My mom gave him her mom's rock collection. It is in a cabinet with lights. She has agates and other rocks she found in fields that look like items - like steak rocks and doughnut rocks. He was very excited to put them in the cabinet.

II has a song that he likes to sing for the boys. He will also put the boys on his knee to bounce them up and down like they are on a horse. Here are some pics.
