Thanksgiving

Brock spent his second Thanksgiving in Chicago this year. Since he was sick we had to cancel our trip to Louisville for the holiday. But don't worry! He still had a turkey dinner and had a visit from his Cici to make the holiday special.

First Steps!

Brock took his first steps on November 24th. Since then he hasn't really stopped! The same day that he started walking we had an ER visit when he woke up with croup! Since we weren't able to travel for Thanksgiving he worked on perfecting his skills over the weekend.

Party with Friends!

After his family party, Brock had a party and invited lots of his friends. He had so much fun visiting and playing with all of his visitors!

Brock turns One!

Brock celebrated his first birthday on November 14th! He loved his cake and had lots of fun opening his presents. He especially loved his chair from his mom and dad :) He had a family only party on his actual birthday where he ate pizza for the first time and got his own cake. Everyone loved watching him!

Brock and the Kitties

Brock is obviously very interested in the cats and they are slowly but surely becoming a little more interested in him. They don't run off quite so fast and Maddie even lets him get in a pat or two. We remind him to be gentle as he tries to grab their tails and poke their ears. At least someone is giving them attention :)

Shoes!

Brock went for his first official shoe fitting! He was sized and outfitted with two pairs of Stride Rites. One for inside and one for out. He is a Size 5 which the woman said was big for his age. He is lukewarm on them right now. He would rather be barefoot, but since winter will be here fast, that isn't really an option. I think they are super cute.

I know what Brock needs

Clearly more toys. He is so deprived. I was organizing all of his stuff and decided just to dump everything out to see what the situation was. It was a pile so big he could barely look over it! He is not even a year old and we have already accumulated quite a bit. It adds up quickly!
