vaughn - off to work

A few weeks ago Vaughn saw Tony wearing his tie and decided he needed to wear one like daddy. This morning it happened again. Instead of fighting it we put the clip on tie and sent him off to "the office". I fully expected it to be gone when I picked him up - boy was I wrong. Is this a little strange or a completely normal reaction to 2 work crazed parents?

Brocker - getting teeth

Yesterday while Brock was eating I couldn't resist getting the camera for these pictures. He has 2 bottom teeth and is currently getting a top tooth too. Where did all his chins come from - his thighs? :)

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!
