Snuggles



Being Silly


Some days we have a lot of time on our hands when we are home all day.  I'm not exactly sure how this came about but we had to take pictures of it!  Brock thought he was hilarious and Soph was a good sport about it all as usual.

Brock has rediscovered how much he likes the pool this summer.  We've taken him a handful of times and he has had fun going swimming at Nana and Papa's house.  He likes to jump off the side after he counts "1, 2, 3" and sometimes we can convince him to put his face under water and blow bubbles.  

Bad Blog Mom

Sophie turned 9 months on July 4th!  She weighs 17.1 pounds and is 28 inches long.  She has 8 teeth and eats any and EVERYTHING you give her or she finds on the floor.  Sophie can pull up on any object, wall or human she can find as well as cruise while holding onto things.  She sleeps at least 12 hours at night (better than her brother sometimes!)  We are so blessed to have such a sweet and loving little baby girl!  (sadly i will be posting her 10 month info soon because I'm so far behind!!)

Brockisms




I am so sorry I haven't updated the blog in weeks!  I don't know where time is going but it is flying.  Brock has been talking up a storm lately and boy has he had some interesting things to say!  Here a just a few of  the ingenious things my 2 year has said lately ...

June 16th - I took Brock on a date this morning to see "Horton Hears a Who" at the movie theater. There is a part where a vulture swoops in after Horton.  When this happened, Brock screams out in the theater "SHOOT BIRD, SHOOT BIRD" followed by a very impressive gun noise as he shot the movie screen with his imaginary gun.

June 29th - Brock's prayer tonight: "Dear Jesus, thank you for Daddy, Momma, Soph, Olivia, Jess, Jayhawks, water, fish, and thank you for hot dogs. Amen."

July 1st - Bedtime prayers got cut off when Brock started saying thank you for the walls.  We were about 10 minutes into "thank you for..." of Brock's prayers.  He had already said thank you for my glasses twice amongst other things.  Micah kept interjecting "Amens" until Brock caught on and finally wrapped things up.  His prayers are so awesome.

July 2nd - This morning Brock was standing at the open fridge and said "Beer?" "No Brock, there is no beer in there." He paused for a second and looked around some more and looked at me inquisitively "Wine?" What the heck! He's 2!! For the record - there is no alcohol in our fridge!!

July 2nd - Tonight I took a shower with Brock and Sophie. When I opened my eyes from washing my hair, Brock was PEEING on Sophie!! I squealed, picked Soph up and started rinsing her off. "No Brock, we don't pee-pee on Sophie!" He replied very matter-of-factly "Sophie sit here" (as he pointed to where he'd being taking a whiz) 2 year old logic is amazing - obviously it's Sophies fault for crawling within his pee radius!

This Old House

I went to lay Sophie down for her nap while Brock tried to go "pee-pee in potty" because now he must have privacy and cannot go if he can see you (which makes me nervous because I can't monitor his aim anymore!).  When I walked out of Sophie's room this is what I found ... My 2 year old sitting bare bottom on the toilet, feet propped up on his Elmo stool reading Micah's copy of "This Old House" magazine.  I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.  I LOVE this kid!  (some day he will kill me for posting this all over the internet - till then enjoy :)

8 months!

Sophia Ashlynn Forman is officially 8 months old!  Time is flying - I cannot believe how quickly 1 year is approaching.  With clothes and a full diaper she is tipping the scales at an even 16 pounds - which is amazing that is all she weighs given the way she eats!  She has 7 teeth and eats any and everything you put in front of her (including play-do, thank you Brock!). Sophie says 'Dada' and waves (quite often at herself).  She is pulling up on everything and uses her 7 teeth to help anchor on the couch!  I also found her sitting in her big girl chair the other day.  She was so proud of herself for climbing up into it with out help.  Sophie is a wonderful, smiling, slightly dramatic little girl and every day our lives are better because of her!
