My little 17 month man...

is growing up so fast! All the cliche's are true about how fast they grow, or "you blink and they're grown". Each new stage of life is even funner than the last, but I still feel melancholy about the fact that he's no longer my little baby boy anymore. He is so much fun to have around though, he is always surprising me with the things he says and does. I'll give an update on 17 month Brock, bullet style. (I stole this from Savannah)

• He LOVES basketball and wants to "dunkit" as soon as he wakes up every morning...and then all day long. He especially likes to play ball with his dad, even though I swear I'm more fun to play with...dad's a ball hog. :)
• He is talking up a STORM. He pretty much repeats everything I say now and is even trying to form sentences. {which of course only Luke and I can understand}
• He knows the number TWO. He won't say "one", and occasionally says "three", but somehow he's got "two" down. Whenever he has two of something he will hold them both up and say "two!"...and he loves having two instead of just one.
• He LOVES movies. Ever since he was little he has loved watching Disney's Pixar movies, and now he will pretty much watch any Disney movie. Some of his favorites are: Up, Finding Nemo, Bolt, Toy Story 1 & 2, Cars, Princess and the Frog, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, and Signing Time...even though he doesn't really sign, he just likes the kids and the music.
• He ADORES his grandparents and his aunts and uncles. He loves going to play with Mimi during the day {so does his mom}. He doesn't really remember the names of any of his cousins except for Chelsea, whom he calls "Chejee" and he just about loves her to death. Poor girl. He is obsessed with Guy {but we think it's because he has the easiest name to say. :P} He has lots of people that love him and he loves them right back!
• He is FUNNY. This kid has so much personality and he makes me laugh all day! One of my favorite things to do with him is to quote a line from one of his movies and see what he says back. The other day I started singing a line from a song from The Princess and the Frog, "Dun Dun Dun Are you ready?" and he said in a high pitch voice "No! not all!"
• He LOVES books. He always has. He loves being read to, or reading by himself...and by reading I mean looking at the pictures and talking to himself. His new favorite book is "Jubal's Wish" by Don and Audrey Wood. I'm looking for it in a board book for him, so if you see it, let me know!!

I just love this kid to death and could go on forever. He is going to be an awesome big brother, he just loves babies. I babysit a newborn little girl once a week and always brings me her binki or blankets and wants to help hold her. He's a sweetie. I Sure love my buddy!

Brock's theme song- sung to the tune of "macho man":

"Brocko Brocko man, I wanna be a Brocko man!"
