Kookaburra

Brock loved that the kookaburras sang for him at the zoo today. It was pretty cool for daddy too :)

Heads shoulders knees and toes

Guess who knows the hand gestures to the song! So cute!

Climbing the Rock Wall

Today in gymnastics Brock climbed the mini rock wall - by himself; maneuvered himself into a sitting position and slid down the cheese!! At 14 months!!! On the parallel bars, he held on with both hands and stepped over the rungs (as opposed to stepping on, over or whatever). Tried bouncing on the trampoline while lying down by pushing with his feet. He's getting the hang of gymnastics really fast! Go Brock! :-)

Dancing in the morning

We have a new morning routine, which involves dancing to whatever song is on the ipod. It is great... Quinn and Brock really enjoy the music.

High Chair Deep Clean

Clean that Brock has such great gag reflexes that he stops choking, but my goodness is it messy... Had to do a disassembly and emergency deep clean of the high chair last night, after Brock didn't choke on some apple skin

Truisms

So there are two truisms developing for Brock.

1) he will always walk in the opposite direction from where you are headed... Even if you haven't indicated a direction yet.

2) while walking away from where you want to go, he will trip and hit his face or head.

Road trip

Brock just rode an hour and half in the car, awake the whole time, and didn't make a single sound. Every once in a while he'd clap with the music, but mostly he just watched the lights... Amazing... Especially compared to his sister who talked the whole time until she was distracted by a video
