Brock 18 months...already!?!

Where has the time gone? Brock has brought such an element of sweetness into our lives...it's hard to think of a moment without him, but it's also crazy to think about him being 18 months already (July 19, 2008)! Thank goodness he is the most amazing snuggler any Mom could ask for so that makes it a little easier to see him get bigger...come to think of it I have a house full of fantastic snugglers, the kids sure know how to suck up to us! Along with turning 18 months another milestone comes our way...the NURSERY at church. The thing is, Brock and I don't spend a lot of time apart...Oh Brock was just fine in the nursery, it was me in the hall wanting to get back in. Brock gave me a little tender mercy on the first day he was legal to go into nursery...during sacrament I was of coarse walking the halls with our little Brock and as we were looking and talking about all the pictures on the walls Brock said "Jesus" for the very first time (as he was pointing at a picture of Jesus)...I soon felt much better and realized he really did belong in the nursery singing the sweet songs and learning about Jesus with other toddlers his age. Thank heaven one of my best friends runs the nursery and does such an AMAZING job!...Really not one moment is lost in there, she even reads a book pertaining to the lesson during snack time! So Brock is in FABULOUS hands and I am so grateful to the wonderful people that run the nursery in our ward! Brock has been going to the nursery now for 3 weeks...and it has just been a coincidence that they were short staffed 2 of the 3 weeks and I "had" to volunteer to stay (I totally jumped at the opportunity)...but the 1 week he was in there without me, he did fabulously...and I booked out of Relief Society to greet him at the door, but Matt had the same thing in mind and beat me to it (this kid pretty much has celebrity status in our home). So it's official Brock is growing up on us!

Here are his stats at his 18 month check up:
Height: 34.75" (97%)
Weight: 27 lbs. 2 oz. (50%-75%)
He's still perfect!

Here is a picture of our little man after church today. The afternoon church really messes with the nap schedule!

What a sweet little (Big) boy!! We just love him so much, let's hope that he slows down on the growth chart, just a little! I think he looks like what Nephi must have looked like at his age. We love you Brock!!
