Chillin' Out in the BeBe Pod

We tried out the BeBe Pod tonight to see if Miss Jillian could sit in it, and sure enough she could! She was a little slumped over towards the end, but she was too intrigued with her paci to realize she was sitting up by herself. Since we've gotten the seat out, Brock now likes to play with it. He gets stuck in it and finds it quite funny having to roll on the ground to get out. He was giving her kisses on the head while she was in the seat, but my darn camera was taking too long focusing since it was dark that you can't tell. So, all I got were the little love pats that he gave her afterwards! He's so sweet. He's going to be a great big brother. He is always cracking me up. Tonight I had her in her swing while making her a bottle, so she of course was crying her little eyes out. Well, Brock now thinks that he needs a paci, too, so he likes to play with his old ones. He tried giving her one of his old pacifiers tonight when she was crying, it was so sweet, and yet a little scary that he was going to just shove it up her nose or in her eye, but he didn't. I think he is starting to love her as much as we do!

And here is what Mr. Brockers has become famous for doing... Right when you are in the middle of a good program on tv, he comes along and turns the power on the cable off. He is a button pusher! He's got them all figured out. It's REALLY annoying!

Ash, do you believe it now??????

A Little Dog Food Never Hurt Anyone

Well, let's just say if I ever run out of food that Brock likes to eat I can always give him some of Buddy's food. Every time we're in the computer room, Brock heads straight for the dog food. He likes to eat it by the handfuls! We've discovered dog bones now, too, which tonight he ate two. He would have eaten three if I hadn't taken it away from him! I used to get in his little mouth and dig the bits and pieces out of his jaws, but his teeth are a little too sharp these days. It surely won't hurt him...will it?

What Goes In Can't Get Out!

As I was trying to put some of Brock's warmer weather clothes away in a tub for storage, Little Brockers mastered climbing IN his crib! I tell ya....this kid is a piece of work! He was playing around on the top of that trunk and I was just hoping he wouldn't think to put his leg over the crib and hop in since he wouldn't be able to get out, but oh no. He did. Thankfully his little legs are too short to reach over the top of the crib to get back out, but it's not for lack of trying. I'm NERVOUS that one day very soon he'll be getting in and out by himself! Any advice on what to do then? Do they sell crib toppers? Seriously.

Pretty Girl..and Boy

I thought I'd try and get a few cute photos of Miss Jilly Bean today since she had on her cute little Baby Gap outfit and probably won't get to wear it much more since it is FINALLY starting to be short sleeve/shorts weather!!! Brock really wanted in on the action and I got ONE cute shot of him and then he just turned way too cool for his mama and her camera. He just wouldn't even look at me, no matter how many times I said Cheese! Nope, nothing. He is fascinated with Jillian's bows. So, we just tried one on today! I'm getting some pretty good blackmail photos for when he's older!
Jillian has become fascinated with her little hands. I think she's praying here that I stop taking her picture and that Brock will leave her alone today.




I LOVE his eyes in this picture. I wish I knew what he was thinking!

More Fun with Pictures

I'm having lots of fun experimenting with this new website! Enjoy!

Ashley has discovered a new website that lets you alter your pictures, so here are my first practice pictures.

Not Even 5 Seconds of Fame

Well, what a bummer. You couldn't see a glimpse of me on the Oprah show, but trust me, I really was there! At the beginning and at the end you could see the back side of me, if you looked really hard and knew where to look. If you go to her website, http://www2.oprah.com/tows/pastshows/200804/tows_past_20080416.jhtml?promocode=HP21 you can click on her after the show link and if you watch the video I'm on around the 1:34 mark. So, just fast forward. I'm in the upper left hand corner totally looking spaced out. I didn't know they were taping an after show!!!! Oh, well, mom got her little face on there when they showed the girl sitting in front of her. The segment we just knew we'd get on tv with was cut out! Dang it.

Oprah Show

OK-so I'm sure all of you are wondering, why on Earth would Heather have a picture of Oprah on her babies' blog???? Well, that's because mom and I went to see her show today up in Chicago and were lucky enough to actually sit up on the stage, just feet away from Oprah and Maria Shriver, her guest today! The whole experiece was surreal to say the least. Soooooooo exciting! We were taken to the green room, had our make-up touched up by professionals, and got to sit on these cubes up on the stage. It was very cool! So, set your VCR's, DVR's, TiVo, whatever you have, for April 16th, because that is when the show airs! I'm wearing a bright pink sweater accompanied by some frizzy hair since it just had to rain. Mom's sitting next to me in a denim jacket and green sweater. What a day! We couldn't bring anything in with us, so unfortunately I have no pictures of me and Oprah together. Darn. And we didn't get anything free, but I think sitting up on the stage at her show and getting a copy of Maria's book, which we had to read prior to the show, was gift enough. Plus I got to spend such an amazing experience with my mom. Priceless.

Picture Day

We went and took Brock's 16 month & Jillian's 3 month pictures this afternoon. I must say it was much easier when it was just Brock. Trying to narrow down pictures is not easy! Especially when you have a toddler wanting to check out the entire studio! He almost got in another family's picture. It was crazy. Next time, I'll know not to wear such warm clothing because I was about a sweatin'. They both did really good though and are such cutie pies!
