1st visit to the pumpkin patch!

We went to the pumpkin patch this weekend with the some friends and their kiddos. We had so much fun! It was a huge petting farm with pony rides, hay rides, a train ride, tons of animals you could hold and pet and even a cow you could milk. It will be awesome to go back as the kids get older and have more interest in everything. Here are some pictures from our little outing!

6 Months!!!

Happy 1/2 Birthday little man! I can't believe we welcomed you in to the the world 6 months ago today. Times sure does fly. You have come so far and accomplished so much in just 6 short months. I'm so proud to be your Mom!

You can now:

•You can sit up all by yourself.
•You are SO close to crawling it’s scary!
•You love to eat. Your favorites are bananas, apples, strawberries, mango, blueberries, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash and green beans.
•You love to jump in the Jumperoo.
•Your favorite toy is your football.
•You love looking in the mirror.
•You talk all.the.time.
•You are super silly.
•You love to pull Maggie’s ears. You think it’s so funny when she jumps.
•You’re still in love with Lucy but you have been caught eyeing Samantha a few times.
•You’re a healthy, happy, handsome little boy and I couldn't love you anymore.

I can’t wait to see what the next you accomplish in the next 6 months!

October already?!

How is it already October? I'm so excited for fall this year! Brock's 1st Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, oh my gosh I can't/can wait! I can't wait to experience all of these 1st's with Brock but at the same time I want time to freeze so I can enjoy every second of it. I picked Brock up from daycare the other day and I stopped at the door and watched him play for a few minutes before I went in. That's when it hit me that my baby isn't such a baby anymore! He's so big! He sits by himself, he plays so well with other kids, he's about to crawl, and he eats anything he can get his hands on... He needs to stop for a second! As awesome as he is to play with and as entertaining as he is when he laughs there is nothing that I enjoy more than feeding him his last bottle every night and watching him fall asleep in my arms. He's so sweet, peaceful and innocent. I would do anything to keep him that way!

On our way to 2 under two!

I can't believe it! We're expecting the newest addition to the Campbell Family in May, about a month after Brock's 1st Birthday! I never in a millions years thought we would actually have 2 under 2, much less 2 almost under 1! This is crazy stuff people! So here's the little peanut at 5 weeks 5 days. Although it's super tiny this little one has a strong heart beat and all is looking good so far!



I didn't start taking belly pics with Brock until 11 weeks but I think it will be awesome to see the differences between #1 and #2.



There it is! Teeny tiny baby #2!

Brock's Baptism

Brock's Baptism was a few weeks ago and he handled it like a champ. What else would you expect from this kid?! We flew home visited with friends and family and Brock got to meet his God Parents. It was a great weekend!




Ha-ha. Those are the only "decent" ones. My Mom sucks with a camera!

5 months

Oh how time flies when you’re having fun. 5 months ago we were sitting silently on the couch watching our shows, sleeping whenever we wanted to, going out without a plan. 5 months ago I was thinking "I'm going to be a Mom next week!" 5 months ago I headed to Winnie Palmer Hospital in fear because I had not felt the little man move all day.5 months ago we welcomed our sweet little man into the world a few days early. Now here we are with a little man who is almost 1/2 a year young!

Here's what you've been up to this month:

•You moved up a class at daycare. You in a room full of sitters, crawlers and real food eaters! You LOVE your new teachers and friends. You have so much fun watching the big kids but you get frustrated because you're not quite there yet.
•You’re teething. You love anything you can get in your mouth, but you prefer blankets and burp clothes. Yesterday I caught you with your sock in your mouth!
•Your wearing 6-9 month clothing, size 2 shoes, and size 2 diapers.
•Your sleep is getting better and better. You usually wake up once around 3 up for the day around 7, ready to play.
•You love your toys, especially the ones that light up. I think your Exersaucer is your current favorite.
•You eat two meals a day, along with your milk, fruit for breakfast and a veggie for lunch. Green beans and peas are not your friend. So far you like bananas, sweet potatoes and squash.
•You have outgrown your bouncer. You figured out how to pull yourself up and I have come back in the room to find you leaning all the way forward with your hands on the floor. You’re out little Houdini.
•You are ticklish on the sides of your tummy. Daddy is best at getting your tickle spot.
•Your not yet crawling, but you can get to where you’re going by rolling and scooting.
•You can almost sit up.
•You’re baptized.
•You’re a very happy and active baby. You’re silly and laid back. You have a huge personality. Just one look at you and the troubles in the world are washed away.

Brock's moving up :(

Today is Brock's last day in Infant A. Monday he officially starts in Infant B! They started transitioning him on Wednesday to the "big kid class" and he's doing great. When they told me they had to move him up early to make room for the little babies I freaked out! What do they mean the "little babies" he IS a little baby! He's my little baby! He's not even the oldest one in his class but he's apparently the most developmentally ready. He's eating solids, sitting supported, scooting and he loves the exersaucer so I guess it's bye bye Ms. Maria :(

Speaking of solids...





Don't sweet potatoes just look like so much fun?! Brock loves eating real food. He's now getting bananas for breakfast, sweet potatoes for lunch and rice cereal for dinner along with his bottles of course. People always say they grow up too fast... but holy shit! Slow down buddy! Mommy's not ready for this!
