Mr. Stinker Butt - Part 2

No, folks, this isn't the Wicked Witch of the West's child hit by a flying couch... it's just my little Brockers trying to retreive a toy from under the couch. He was much farther under there, but by the time I ran and got my camera he had already squirmed out a little bit. He did manage to get out by himself, but he was starting to get a little nervous that he was stuck!
And here he is looking out the window like he'd like to escape the indoors, which we've been in ALL week. He has NO FEAR at all, whatsoever. He's climbed up on the chair and is standing on the arm. Dangerous.

Tired Babes

Mr. Cool

Brock has finally mastered his 4-Wheeler! He can make it go all by himself. Now, we just need to work on the steering. He'll run it into things and just keep pressing the button. He just waits, thumb down on the button, until we come and move him in a different direction. He's already worn the battery out a few times! But, here he is, Mr. Cool, with his shades and cell phone. He cracks me up.

Mr. Stinker Butt

Here is the view I have of Jillian as she sleeps in my Baby Bjorn. She's so stinkin' precious... It's a good thing she's pretty easy to handle right now because this is Mr. Helpful Around the House. He helps Mommy vacuum. (Can't put that milk down!)
And then he also helps Mommy while she does dishes. I don't think I could ask for better help!

My Little Angels

These are for Aunt Ashley...as requested.

My Little Cookie Monster

I gave Brock an Oreo the other day....I don't think I even need to tell you that he LOVED it. Just check out his face and hand! Look above his ear, too. Yep, that's Oreo in his hair! What a mess!

Keeping Entertained

Here's just a few photos of how Brock entertained himself at the hospital. He loves pushing anything with wheels, so off he went with Jillian's crib, and no she wasn't in it! He enjoyed being pushed around in the wheelchair, too.

The Princess Has Arrived!

Check out all that hair!





Baby Jillian has arrived! She decided to come a little early, but boy was I ready for her to get here! Thursday and Friday I was having lots of braxton hicks contractions and was just down right uncomfortable so I was really ready for her to make her debut. Saturday morning TJ & I headed to the hospital and got there a little before 9:00 am. I was already at a 7, so I was getting pretty nervous that they weren't going to give me the epidural. I was having some back pain, not like with Brock though, so I feel I handled it all a little better this time around. But, wouldn't you know...that darn epidural man would have to keep me waiting for what seemed an eternity! My wonderful nurse, who just happened to be the same nurse that helped deliver Brock, paged him twice and then eventually tried to call and find him. Bless her heart, she was wonderful. I honestly thought he wasn't going to come and that I was going to have to have her drug-free. (Which I know many a gal has done before, just not the option I wanted for myself.) Anyways, since I tested positive for this Group B Strep I had to have two bags of antibiotics in my system before giving birth, so as not to transfer it to her. Well, just as soon as that 2nd bag was in, my nurse checked me out and was like, oh, goodness, there's her head. Jillian was ready to come out! The nurse went out and came back with the Dr. I was thinking in my head, oh my, why is the Dr. here already? I haven't even pushed one time yet. I knew they usually didn't bring the Dr. in until that baby was ready to be out, so I just went with the flow and 2 contractions later with a few pushes, out she came! I'm telling you, it wasn't even 5 minutes and the girl was out. So much easier than the 2 hours of pushing with Brock! Don't get any bright ideas....I'm so not doing that again. I have my happy little family of four plus a dog, so I'm D-O-N-E! Enjoy the pictures of our newest edition. She's already a heart breaker!

A Roberts Family Christmas

Well, what would a Roberts Family Christmas be without a little drama? I feel like we are the Grizwold's sometimes. This year's Christmas was quite eventful. TJ, Brock, and I spent Christmas morning at our house. Brock opened his presents from Santa and then we spent the afternoon at TJ's grandparent's. After that, we went to my parents' and had Christmas dinner followed by opening up presents. Here comes the drama... Aunt Ashley got Brock this really neat Lego dump wagon with lots of lego blocks. Well, mom wanted him to be able to pull it around and since it was zip-tied she asked my dad to use a pocket knife to cut it off. Long story short, my dad ended up getting the zip-tie undone, in the mean time also cutting my mom's leg. She probably could have used a few stitches, but she's a trooper. Of course it had to happen on like the 3rd gift being openend so we really started off with a bang. It was just nuts.
The Roberts Gang - Granddad, Grandma, Aunt Ashley, Uncle Dustin, TJ, me, and Brock Brock got a bath basketball game. He thought it was fun putting the basketballs in his mouth. It was so funny!

The dreaded dump wagon...
Uncle Dustin and Brock

The day after Christmas we went to my Aunt Susan's house in Indiana to see my other grandparents and cousins. We got to see our new cousin, Lily. She was precious.

Just Like Daddy

TJ got a stocking hat for Christmas so he could be just like Brock. They are so stinkin' cute. I think Brock likes Daddy's hat better than his own.

4-Wheelin' It

Just a few shots of Brock on his new 4-Wheeler.

Look Out World

Brock got a very cool 4-wheeler from Moie and Papaw for Christmas. He LOVED it! By the end of gift opening time, he almost had it figured out how to make it go by himself. It was probably a good thing we had him open it up first because it kept him entertained while we opened gifts. (Ok, so I didn't realize it was going to be sideways when I was downloading, but you get the idea!)

Schlittler Family Christmas

Well, it was another eventful Christmas this year! It was a lot different this year since Brock could actually enjoy all of his presents. We spent Christmas Eve day at TJ's parents' and then Christmas Eve night at my grandparents'. These pictures are from TJ's parents' house. Brock racked up in the gifts department!Our little family of three.... not for much longer.

The Schlittler Gang - Danny, Kindi, Moie, Brock, Papaw, me, & TJ. (And let's not forget Maggie!)

TJ got a pair of earmuffs from his mom and dad. Brock thought they were pretty neat!

Just Chillin'

I couldn't resist adding another picture...

Santa Baby

Big Boy Trike

Brock got a red radio flyer tricycle for his birthday from me and TJ. He LOVES it! I think we might be in trouble once his legs can reach the pedals! ( I think TJ LOVES it, too!)

Few More Birthday Shots...

Brock's 1st Birthday

December Birthday Boys

TJ turned the big 3-0 today! We celebrated by going out to eat at Red Lobster. Brock of course had to steal the show at the restaurant. I can't tell you how many people stopped by our table on their way out to visit with him. He's a little charmer. He's such a cheese-ball and this picture really shows it! Check out that mouth full of teeth! Here's TJ blowing out his candles. I really had the best intentions making this birthday cake for TJ. I was so excited to try and make it with two layers. Well, I let them both cool down before icing, but when I went to put the top layer on, it cracked big time in the transfer. Talk about a let down. It looked bad when he got home from work, but by the time we got home from Red Lobster, it just looked like a big, gigantic mess. My only saving grace....it really did taste good. (thank goodness!)
What a disaster. I never claimed to be a Betty Crocker. This makes me SERIOUSLY doubt even attempting to make Brock's first birthday cake like I was planning. I had very high hopes for a super cute cake for him, but do I risk it after this catastrophe?

Almost ONE!

I took Brock last night to get his 12 month pictures taken and he was such a good boy! He really did do a great job. Here is just a preview. Check out those curls in the back. I can't believe it is only a matter of days before he turns one year old!
