Brock's "Eyes"

Brock discovered glasses awhile ago.  He has seen me and Mimi wear our glasses and started calling them "eyes".  For his 2nd birthday, Brock received a Mr. Potato Head from his Granddad.  Since he has been banished from playing with our "eyes" after he bent mine and my mom's glasses, Brock was so excited to see that Mr. Potato Head came with "eyes" to play with.  He has been wearing them around the house.  I even found him sitting on the couch drinking his milk last night watching Wall-E with them on.  He sometimes wears them on his cheeks for whatever reason - probably because they are a little small and hard for him to see through!

Brock is officially 2!

Brock Thomas Forman is 2 today!  I cannot believe how fast time has gone by.  He weighs 26 pounds but I don't know how tall he is :o) We go for his 2 yr check up next week so I'll find that out then.  Brock is starting to put 2 words together and every day says a new word we didn't know he knew.  This also means we have to be very careful what we say around him!  He has been such a blessing to our lives over these two years.  Mommy, Daddy and Sophie love our Brocky!

It is tradition in our house to have birthday cake for breakfast.

He was so excited to get to blow out his candle.

Say cheese!

Happy 2nd Birthday B & B !!

Bryce and Brock celebrated their 2nd birthday yesterday.  We threw a party at our house and had family and friends come over for cake.  The Stinemetz Family brought their awesome bounce house which provided as much entertainment for the kids as it did for some of the adults (Cheez)!  Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate.  We are so blessed to have so many people who love our boys.









My Pretty Little Boy

I had to work 3 days last week which left Micah home alone all day with the kids.  When I uploaded the pictures this morning, this is what I found.  My son with a bow in his hair.  This is what happens when I'm gone.

Hanging out with the family

We went over to Jeremy and Alisha's house the other night for Uncle Gabe's birthday.  It is always fun with Micah's side of the family gets together because between siblings and cousins there are 15 of us in the immediate family!  I posted a few pictures as the night progressed.








Crinkly

 Everyone talks about how a car ride puts babies to sleep - well not my kids.  The first 3 months of their lives they have HATED the car.  My kids just scream at the top of their lungs till they are coughing and sweating profusely.  The last two weeks Sophie has stopped crying when we are in the car and has started playing with some of her toys.  We call this one Crinkly (because of the sound the wings make when you play with them).  Aunt Dar-Dar named it that back when Brock was a baby and had his Crinkly.

Girlfriends


We had a play date last week with Corban and Abigail.  The boys played most of the time in Brock's room (and by play I mean took turns seeing how loud they could scream), but the little girls hung out with the big girls in the living room.  We are still trying to get a picture of Abigail and Sophie smiling and looking at the camera - we will settle for these for now.

Ordinary Day

Brock and Sophie have gotten into their own little routine at home these last few weeks.  We have fun playing, reading books and Brock loves helping with his baby sister.  Sophie loves to smile, watch TV on the boppy and bounce in the jumpy seat.

Say CHEESE!

I LOVE my jumpy

More Christmas Pictures

Here are a few left over Christmas pictures I found on the camera today - I realize most are of Sophie, but we were excited to get a few of her smiling.

Texas

We went to Texas the middle of December so Sophie could meet her Great Grandparents and Great-Great Grandparents.  While we were there we took some family pictures.  It was meant to be pictures of the kids in their camo because what else do you wear in Texas!  Some how Micah and I ended up in camo with antlers on.
