Remodeling

Jovy has been helping us with some redecorating. She decided that our drywall doesn't look good on the walls and that it looks better shredded on the floor. Who doesn't love holes in the walls?


One of them got into the kitchen and "sampled" the bread.

Books

Eden loves book, but not for the normal reasons. The "First Animals" book is missing it's spine. She managed to slowly chew it to shreds. The same goes for another animal book. Paper is techinally fiber, right? Her "Elmo" book has a pop-up Elmo in the back. Her ultimate goal in life right now is to rip the Elmo out. She has some pretty quick reflexes, but we've managed to keep Elmo in tact so far. All of the other books get thrown off the shelf and then crawled/walked all over.

We won't be visiting the library anytime soon.

New Videos!

I posted new videos on You Tube. There's one of her walking and one of her funny face. They are directly to the left under "Videos."

Enjoy!

TGIF

Brock started football this week. So many guys showed up for fall camp that they are actually going to have to cut about 20 kids this year. That's a huge difference from the shortage of guys that they had last year.

Eden is walking all over the place, at her leisure. The funny part is that she usually has to have something in her hands: her shoe, a toy, the spatula, a coaster, the remote. She screamed bloody murder yesterday when we put her shoes on her. I think that's going to be a slow adjustment. Any suggestions from the moms out there? I was thinking sandals first...?

We've made the transition to real food- sippy cup and all. She loves bananas, avocados, ham, bread, yogurt and cheerios (by the handful). We're still working on the veggies... broccoli gives her the toots...

Oh, and she has discovered her pointer finger. Not only is she pointing at everything, but she is also sucking/chewing on that finger. Who needs a thumb when you've got an index finger that's twice as long?

Here are a few pitures from daycare and around the house this week. I'll try to put a video of her walking on here this weekend.

First Steps!

Eden took her first steps on Friday. She just let go of the cabinet and took several steps across the kitchen. Her balance is amazing. She'll be chasing Brock in no time!

Poop Eater

We officially have a poop eater on our hands. No, I'm not talking about the dogs. I'm talking about the 11 month old child that has found the treasures inside her pants. Brock went to pick her up from her nap, and there were little poop pellets all over her crib. What really grossed him out was the mustache... no more need said.

Super Brock

Brock has Tuesdays off this summer. He has been working on and off doing maintenance on investment properties for a guy in our church (to keep him busy). Yesterday, Brock said that he was going to meet Michael (from church) and work all day. When he picked me up from work (we carpool- go green! jk), he gave me a bouqet of flowers and told me that he had already been to the grocery store. Then, when we got home, I walked inside and he had cleaned the entire house. I'm talking swept, mopped, dusted, washed dishes, laundry and the kicker.... rented a Rug Doctor to clean our furniture and carpet. I was blown away! It has been confirmed that he will never be a stay at home dad....
