Brock is getting so big so fast, he is almost three months old and I total forgot to post about his two month check up. So here are the stats

weight 75% 13lb 4oz
height 75% 23.5 in
head 75% 16 in
Brock has started smiling and on good days he laughs, mostly at his Dad. Justin is Brocks favorite person, he is always wanting to play and when every Justin walks into he watches him and starts to smile. Brock also likes to lay on his changing table and look at his stuffed animals. He has started to be able to grab them and he tries to eat them.

Brock is quickly growing out of his clothes, there are a few that he never got to wear but we try really hard to have him wear everything at least once. Here is his first pair of overalls. He was ready to go to work.

We were able to go to SLC and see Michele, the girls and my Mom in April for a few days. Brock loves his cousins.

B is for Brock

Lots of stuff has gone on this last month and my Maternaty leave is quikly drawing to an end. So I thought I would catch up on the going on's here before I have to start going back to work. So here are the five B's.

This year on my birthday Brock officially turned one month old. He still sleeps a lot, gets held a lot and is still gets lots of pictures taken of him. He has grown two and a half inches, and gained about two and a half pounds. He has started to get chubby, especially in his face. He has out grown his new born clothes and some of his 3m clothes. His eyes are lighter blue now and open a lot more. We got his room decorated, he has a fire truck room picked out by his Uncle Pat.

B is for Bunnies

This year for Easter I decided that I want to color eggs and have sweet potato casserole. So we decided to have a big family dinner with Justin’s parents and his sister Lesia’s family. Everyone came over around four, we painted eggs and had a yummy dinner. Brock got an Easter basket with some books, diapers, a formula container and candy in it.

B is for Blessing

Brock was blessed on March 28, 2010. He was blessed by his father. We were glad that his Grandpa’s and his Great Grandpa Rands could come and be a part of this special day.

B is for baby shower

My Mother–in-law and Sister-in-law had a baby shower for me this month. It was a lot of fun and I got a ton of stuff. There were lots of people who came. Being in Idaho, I feel that we have lots of couple and family friends and was glad that most of the wives came.

I was also glad that my family could come. Brock was able to meet lots of his family.

We played the baby food game, the price is right and the pass the present game and I do have to say that my family dominated the game scene. Even Micaela won a prize.

He will be a well dressed baby

B is for Birthdays

March is Birthday month for both Justin and I. The weekend before our birthday's we had a party at 1,000 springs. Its a local hot springs pool. Justin had a great time swimming with all his nieces and nephews, while I spent the day chatting with the grown-ups.

This year we spent the week in between our birthdays with Justin's Sister and his nieces. His sister Jackie came up from Utah to see us and the rest of the family. While she was here they decided to remodel his parents bathroom. It was suppose to be a day project but ended up taking four days. All is all it looks great. I spent the time hanging out with my niece Danielle (who's 18th birthday was also that week). We went shopping, to the movies, had a One Tree Hill marathon, played Guitar Hero and went out for breakfast.

The guessing game

We have had a great time getting to know Brock these last few weeks. So far he loves to cuddle and be held, lay on his tummy, eat and make funny noises. He has found his lungs and knows how to use them but only does so when he's really hungry (about every 2-3 hours) but he makes lots of other noises too. My favorite one kinda sounds like a cross between a goat and a evil laugh.

In other news we are both recovering nicely and have enjoyed having lots of visitors come to see us. Everyone who comes and even those who haven't made it yet ask me who he looks like. I think he looks like the gorringe boys, especially Justin's dad and I don't think that he looks at all like me. So here are some pictures of him with the family so you can see what you think.

He is changing so much its hard to tell, he is almost to tall to fit into his newborn outfits. His eyes are light on the inside and a dark blue on the outside, he still has long arms and legs. His hair is a light brown. His face and body are filling out more and he is starting to get roles under his chin. He is still the most kissable baby I have ever known and we love him dearly.
