Weekly Update

Not much is going on this week at the Slocumb home. On Monday, we went to a cookout at our friends Megan & Jason's house. They have a new little baby, McKenzie. We played Uno Attack and it is so much fun. If you are someone that likes to play games, then I highly recommend it. Fun times!

Brock is doing great with his naps. Thanks for all the advice from the previous post. He goes down without even crying now and it is so great. He plays with a book, ball and tiger until his drifts off to sleep. He sleeps about 1 to 2 hours and I finally have some time to get some things done around the house. It only took 17 months to make this happen but I can promise with the next baby (if there is one) they will nap on their own before this age.

Brock is eating more things now. He pretty much eats everything that we give him as long as he can use his plastic fork. He really likes to feed himself so you can imagine the mess that we have after every meal. Ritz Bits are not really his favorite snack anymore, all he does is eat the peanut butter out of them and throws the crackers on the floor. He likes to eat animal crackers and graham crackers.

Discipline is becoming an issue at our house. Brock has been experiencing "time out". He has started hitting when he does not get his way. You know that he knows what he is doing by the look on this face and the grunt sound that he makes. Hopefully he will stop this soon.

That is about all to report today. I will leave you on a good note: Mike and Heidi (Brad's brother and wife) are expecting a baby in January so Brock will have a new cousin and also my friend Sara and her husband Cory are expecting a baby in February. Congratulations!!!!!!!
