Look what Brock learned in ND! Friday night dancing!

When I was up in ND with Brock and Vaughn this week they learned a very dangerous thing.....jumping on Nana & II's bed. It seems that the behavior Brock learned has somehow made its way back to Minnetrista. As you can see by the poor video, wrestling turns into a celebration dance-jump on our couch. That couch has been so abused lately...between juice spills, jumping, and wrestling on cushions it definitely takes a beating!

Brocker and his blanket

Brock is very possessive of blankets. He has at least 3 in his crib at all times. Yesterday, when I was taking him to daycare he cried because I wouldn't let him drag his blanket on the ground. He is I guess what you could say a modern day Linus. It doesn't matter what if it is his baby blanket or if it is a fuzzy throw blanket - if he wants it he grabs on and doesn't let go until he has it. I have been a victim many times to Brock swiping a blanket I have had on me. Here is a picture...You can see his grip on the blanket - usually the grab is followed with a "Nooooooooo" :)

Daredevil Brock - what's next

This morning we took out a ladder to dust the fan. (it was extremely dusty..can't remember dusting it since we moved in 3 years or so ago) While setting up the ladder, when I turned around Brock had already made his way up the ladder no problem. I thought - lucky boy - do you know how to get down Well, he showed me!

Brock....exhausting

Brock is the most curious kid ever. He wears me out. This weekend he climbed up on a chair next to our table and saw that Vaughn had left out the markers. Naturally, you would think he wouldn't know how to open the markers, but no not Brock. I turned my head and saw him pulling off the cap of the marker and then drawing on the plastic placemat. I gave him a piece of paper instead and he drew like it was no big deal.

Brock and his tummy

Brock has a funny way of showing off his tummy. Words just can't do it justice.....so I guess the video will help.

Thank you for the birthday present Aunt Karla!

We arrived home today with a big box on our doorstep. It was Brock's birthday present! As you can see he liked it right away. I didn't even have the handle on it and he was trying to ride it. He also has had a liking to spoons lately. He wouldn't take it out of his hand. Actually, now that I think about it he has left 2 spoons at daycare the last 2 mornings because he would freak out if I tried to take it away.
