The Great Pumpkin Patch

Brock got to visit a very cool pumpkin patch this weekend with Grandma, Aunt Ashley, and her friend, Rachel. We went to the Great Pumpkin Patch in Arthur. Come to find out it has been featured in Martha Stewart's Living Magazine. It was amazing! Brock had a good time as we pulled him around in his little red wagon. He enjoyed getting down and checking out all the scenery. I betcha next year he'll LOVE it even more when he can actually walk around and check things out first hand. We took home a few "fairy tale" pumpkins as they are called. TJ thought they were fake. Now if I can just keep our pesky squirrels away from them we'll be all good.

My Baby's 9 Months Old!!!

Where have the months gone????? TJ & I were just talking last night about how fast time has seemed to past now that we have a baby in our lives. I was so sad the other day looking at some clothes I had purchased for Brock at this huge consignment sale. I was shopping for 12-18 months clothes and as I looked at the label, instead of reading infant, it said TODDLER! Ahhhh!!! I only have 3 more months till he's an official toddler! He has 2 teeth almost in on the bottom and four coming in on the top. If you look closely you can see his two top teeth in one of the pictures. He is a huge Cheerio and goldfish fan and will eat just about anything, including dog food. He definitely loves his mama as I can hardly fix dinner without him tugging at my legs. Now that I'm wearing more stretchy pants I have to be super careful that he doesn't pull my pants down! He really is the best baby ever and TJ and I are so very blessed.

Rub a Dub-Dub

I think Brock is just about to out grow his little blue bathtub. He is starting to become a real squirmer and just captivated by the shower head that he has to be grabbing at it. With what little hair he has, I gave him a little mohawk the other night. He's so stinkin' cute!

Two Proud Papas

Brock got to meet a new friend a couple of weeks ago. TJ's good friend, Bryan, and his wife just had a baby girl, Kendall. Bryan already had her sporting her Illini attire for the first Illinois football game. She is so precious!
