Football Anyone?

Yesterday Brock and I went to watch Ryszard play flag football. Brock was dying to get out of his stroller and the minute I let him out he ran right to the extra footballs lying on the side lines.
Basketball is still his first choice but looks like football may be his next favorite.

Baby Shower Fun

My signature Baby Shower gift is to make a diaper cake. Since I was throwing a shower For Courtney,I decided to use my signature gift as part of the decor, and instead of one big cake I made 2 mini cakes and one medium sized. Just wanted to share these cake creations with you!

Could It Be????

I've been determined to get Brock off the bottle. Not that I think he's too old for a bottle, but with a new baby on the way I don't want Brock to think we are taking his stuff and giving it to the baby, {although we kind of are}. Anyway at the beginning of the week I told Ryszard that this is Brock's last week for using the bottle, and then they are going down stairs until baby Nicholas needs them. So Monday morning I gave Brock a sippy cup with his breakfast. No problem! Then lunch came and he was still going strong with his cup. Snack time went the same, and when dinner/ night time came around I said to Ryszard to give him his cup and if he doesn't take it then he could give Brock a bottle. Brock went to sleep that night just fine. Without a Bottle! {YEAH!} Tuesday went just as well. And now here it is Wednesday afternoon and still no bottle is being used, or begged for. I think we just might be "Off The Bottle"

Baby Kicks

Last night while Brock was leaning against my tummy I started feeling a few little kicks from Nicholas. Brock then got up played a little and came right back to lean up against my tummy again. Little kicks soon continued, Brock then looked at me as if I was kicking him. When I told him "it was baby in Mommy's tummy" he just smiled gave my tummy a kiss and then layed back down. Those little kicks kept coming and Brock just smiled away!

Just Realized...

I'm a little more than half way through my pregnancy! I feel like it has been going by really fast and yet there is still so much to do. Granted we have a lot of clothes and basic necessities for baby, but considering baby Nicholas will be a winter baby and Brock was a summer baby, there are still a few things left on the shopping list. Including a new car set for Brock so Nicholas can have his current one. I'd sure like to get those few things done and out of the way.
Only17 Weeks left to go, {give or take}!

My Hubby Loves Me!

After working a very long day and taking even longer to get home, Ryszard hid a little treasure under my pillow! That right I am now the proud owner of a new Cannon PowerShot digital Elph! Oh I am soooo excited! What oh what will my first picture be of ????

Kodak Moments

I got in the habit of carrying a camera with me wherever I go about 8 years ago, {Just before I bacame a nanny.} Knowing that theres always "Kodak Moments" all around us I had no intention on missing them. Lately I have been a little sad. My loved and trusted camera has decided that it's flash is no longer needed. So lately all of my "Kodak Moments" have been way to dark to even share with anyone, sadly they have been erased and lost forever. {Like this morning, while watching A Baby Story on TLC. Brock went up to the TV to give the newborn baby a hug.}
I guess I could just use Ryszard's camera right? But then it's about 3 times the size of my little love, and doesn't fit nice and snug in the little side pocket of my bag like my current one does. We were recently at Best Buy and I saw this:

{in my new favorite color.}
It is almost exactly like the one I have now which is great, but just look at that pretty blue color. Oh, I love it! Plus it's a 10.0 megapixel camera, {my current one is only 3.2} can you just imagine the pretty pictures I could get?
Anyway so until I decided to actually start using my Hubby's camera or get a new one, I may not be posting any new pictures. {I'm hoping that this little beauty will find it's way into my diaper bag very soon.}

Now You Know

So now that you have found baby's name I guess it's time for me to give you a little back ground on how we cam up with it. Before I was even pregnant with Brock, actually I think it was before we were even married Ryszard and I had a conversation about names for our kids. We came up with 2 names that we both agreed on right away Nicholas Hayden being one of them. After we found out that I was pregnant with Brock, Ryszard and I both decided that neither of the names we had picked out was right for our first baby boy. After some time we finally settled on Brock Logan. everyone thought it was different but we felt it perfect for Brock, and seriously can you even imagine Brock having any other name?? Anyway when we found out I was expecting baby #2 we had already had boys name picked out so we weren't worried about that but we both had our own opinion on a name if baby happened to be a girl. We now have 2 names picked out for a girl, {if later down the road we are so blessed with one.} Now as most of you know I was really wanting a girl. mostly I think because of all the fun handmade things I could make and do with a little girl. I truly am excited for another boy. I am already thinking about how fast Nicholas will learn things seeing as he will have Brock to keep up with! Ryszard and I really love the name we have choosen for our second baby boy.
Nicholas Hayden Milewski! Has a great ring to it don't ya think!

Just So You Know...

I have placed baby number 2's name on the blog. It's not really hidden but for the first 5 people to find it and leave a comment I will send a fun little gift to you in honor of baby !

In Case You Have Forgotton..

Just what we are still fighting for .
Thank you to all our troops and their families for the sacrafices you continue to make in honor of our FREEDOM.

I was going to....

put up some random pictures of Brock and then realized with this new computer, we haven't installed our camera programs yet, so sadly I am out of luck and you will have to wait even longer to see some pics of my precious Brock, oh what to do in the mean time???

Never mind Ryszard helped me figure this computer thing out so here are some random pictures from the past few weeks.
Brock and Elly {hand in hand!}
Brock looking out the window {like always!}
{Hanging out at the airport!}

and Brock's new battle scar! {He learned how to climb from cousin Riley and took a little spill right onto the carpet resulting in a rug burn. Ouch!}

Brock is going to have....

a little BROTHER!
Ryszard and I already have his name picked out! But I'll save that for a later post!


Ultrasound Results:
Ryszard and I are not big fans of the doctor we went to see today,but he's a specialist with level 2 ultrasounds. The reason for a level 2 ultrasound is to give us a more in depth look at our baby's development. Because Brock was born with bilateral clubfoot Ryszard and I wanted to see if baby #2 would also have clubfoot. Turns out that baby's feet look GREAT! Which means no clubfoot, at least not that we could see. Baby's heart looks wonderful and baby is growing well. We are excited to have another little boy.

Baby Boy or Baby Girl?

Today Brock, Ryszard, and I have a fun excursion planned! Another look at baby! Ryszard was able to give me a sweet blessing this morning in preparation for today's event. We are really excited to find out if Brock will have a little brother or sister. Hopefully baby will be in a good position for us! I will let you know what happens soon, just 3 hours to go!!!!

15 Month Stats

Today Brock and I went to the pediatrician for his 15 month well baby check up and vaccination visit. Brock has gained 3 pounds since his last visit, {that's a pound a month!}
So his official measurements are:
2 feet 9.5 inches {or 33.5 inches} tall,
27 pounds 7.5 ounces,
his head circumference is 47.5 cm.
All measurements are above the 95% range. We are so proud of our Big Boy!

His current favorite foods are:
Spinach, Butternut Squash, Steak, Lobster and Cheese.

My Favorite!

So I was finally able to look through the pictures my friend Amy took and I found my Favorite!
Brock started making this face when we got to Utah and I LOVE it! He's so stinkin' cute! Here are some other fun pics:

Brock and his Utah Cousins

During our last night in Utah, we got a picture of Brock with his Utah cousins.
Brock had a blast with all of them and even learned a few new "tricks" from cousin Riley! We had so much fun at Nana's house, and can't wait to see her again.
Thanks again Mommy for everything.
