Brock is 14 months old

(alternately titled "T-R-O-U-B-L-E")

Our little boy is 14 months old. He is so sweet and precious, but he also can get into some trouble. Here's photographic evidence of Brock's favorite things.

This boy loves the trash can. It's the perfect height to pull up on and it's full of fun and interesting things. Sometimes we have to put the trash in the garage because he just loves it SO much!

Another favorite place to play is the kid's cabinet. He loves to pull out plates, cups, bowls and use plates as looking devices, shout into bowls to hear an echo, and try to drink out of every cup.

I have to give the boy some credit because he is such a hard worker. He's not afraid to actually get inside the cabinet to make sure that he gets every.piece.out. to throw on the floor.

The other favorite spot to find the boy in mischief is the bathroom. Playing in toilet water is his preferred activity, but when the lid is shut, he will go for toilet paper instead. (We have to keep all the bathroom doors shut at all times, because Brock has some sixth sense and knows anytime the door is open!)

In the last 2 weeks B-man has become a climber. Sitting on the train table is cool.

One thing that's actually not so funny is Brock's love of throwing food on the floor. If he's done eating he just starts throwing food all around the room. Kylie is the happy recipient of much of his leftover but that has its consequences. This particular day her back was covered with rice.

This is Brock's 'stinker' face. He squinches up his nose and closes his eyes and he's just about the most adorable thing ever.

Little boy loves playing with any kind of ball.

And bath time is his best loved time of the day.

In the past month, Brock has been totally weaned. The last few nursing sessions were a little sad for me....nursing my last baby for the last time. But I'm doing fine now, enjoying having my body back plus a little more freedom and Brock has a new love for a sippy cup of cow's milk.

Also this month Brock got tubes in his ears. He seems to feel much better and I'm so thankful for our ENT-the surgery couldn't have gone any smoother.

Brock still travels the house on all fours although I'm starting to work with him on walking a bit more lately. (A and D walked around 13 months)

Brock loves to jabber and talk about Mommy, Daddy, car, cracker, night-night, dog, and he's learning some animal noises. He loves cars, ball, and books.

He and Camille would have a big time getting into all kinds of mischief together!! He's such a cutie! (BTW, there are workmen here right now installing some new cabinets and I'm relatively sure they're just like the ones in that kitchen pic!)
