Almost 6 months!

My little bear cub is growing up sooooooooooo fast. He's almost 6 months old now and I wonder where the time has gone!

I have a ton of picture of Brock and I together and realized I didn't have very many with just Nicholas and myself so I went outside and took a few. Nicholas was very willing to go along with it, and then when looking over the pictures I realized that in just about every shot he was looking up and away! oh well he's still cute.

Nicholas has been enjoying his first tastes. I was surprised at how fast he caught onto eating "food". His list of first foods is growing more and more so far he has tasted and devoured: blueberries, sweet potatoes, mangoes, peas, spinach, pears and carrots. He finished his first box of rice cereal and has made his way through more than half of a box of oats cereal. Last night he nibbled on his first pizza crust. {He was begging for some pizza so I gave in and let him have some crust. He LOVED it and was very unhappy when I took it away from him.} I am really excited to start the homemade baby food process again. Aside from the blueberries I haven't made anything, but I plan on making a bunch of stuff next week {applesauce, zucchini, squash, and I might just make a watermelon puree for him too.}
Nicholas is also crawling! {well kind of.} He's not on all fours yet but he loves to push his legs completely straight and launch his body forward. Usually towards Brock's many cars, and then of course Brock freaks out that Nicholas is going to get them and moves farther away. Then in turn making Nicholas inch forward yet again! Nicholas also wakes up is some very interesting positions and never where I put him down. He loves sleeping on his tummy and although I always put him to bed on his back he quickly finds his way on to his tummy. And tries to do it while asleep in my arms too!

Love this little guy so much!!!!!!!!!

Saalsssssa

is Brock's newest words and it is seriously my favorite! My niece asked me today what Brock currently does that makes me so happy, I told her it has to be all the new words he's learning to say. Not only is it completely adorable to hear his cute little vocabulary expand, but it reminds me of just how fast he is growing up.

Crafting fun

I have a list of crafts I want to try, one of which I have been dying to get started on for a while. So the other day between feeding the boys and putting them down for their naps I got started and had a blast! Here are a few pics of my latest crafting fun! Rolled fabric flowers:

I actually got around to making about 20 or so in a few different colors {blue, orange and black polka dot} and a few different sizes. I am now on the hunt for some more fabric so I can make more flowers and eventually create a necklace of some sort. But for now I will be enjoying different ways of wearing these new little beauties!

Sweet Moments with Brock.

Is there anything better than a: smile,

A kiss on the cheek,


or a hug

from your growing child?

I love these sweet moments with my Big boy!

Playing Ball

This boy loves to play.



Take a look...

at my little cutie!

I simply adore his blue eyes,especially when he is on a blue blanket.
It really helps them pop.
Don't ya think?

Nicholas is currently getting more and more handy.
Literally!
He loves to grab at everything and anything in his reach and has started scooting towards things too!

I finally got it!

I have been trying to get a good picture of both the boys together for a while now. I haven't had much luck. Nicholas is great. He loves looking at the camera. Brock on the other hand always looks too silly. Cute but silly.
I finally got one that looks half decent, and Brock is actually smiling!
YEA!
