Brock Stretching!

Halloween

Brock's first real Halloween experience was a blast. Jenny carved a pumpkin with Brock, where he was able to reach in and grab the slimy goo that is inside. His funny little faces were in full swing on this occasion. Brock was amazed by the lighter and a bit fearful of fire at the same time. It was actually pleasant to see a bit of reluctancy from him with something! We are also presently still in the process of trying to finish part of the basement. It is a fun project for us, but adds a bit to the already busy family and work life. Here are a few pictures as well from the cabin trip that occurred in the Fall of this year. Brock is starting to dance and stretch quite well. It appears that Jenny teaches Brock all sorts of things.

Fall Fun

Brock continues to get into everything. He is also curious about the littlest things and the largest things. His hair has been growing like crazy. We thought for Halloween, that we would dress up to match his hair. Jenny made his costume to match the one's we already had. Fun times, just watch him close!

October is here!

October is here already. What that means for the Ploeger family is lots of yardwork and preparation for the winter season. Fertilizing the lawn, turning off the sprinklers, staining the deck, and cleaning out the garden and flower beds. There is always something to do around that house. Brock loves to get his little pail and shovel and scoop the dirt...and if daddy is walking in the flowerbed, you better believe that Brock will be walking in the flower bed as well. He watches and copies everything you do. After a long days work in the yard, we wind down by taking a short nap on the couch.

Sunday, September 30th came, which was Brock's first day of Nursery. Happy day for mom and dad. Mom took Brock up to the Nursery and said bye. Brock also said bye in return and wasn't the wiser.

Brock continues to grow and grow, and with that comes more and more interest in everything around him. He now gets into every drawer and cupboard around, throws the contents out and then moves onto the next open drawer or cupboard to play in. After a long day of playing, he nestles down with his blanket to relax. He LOVES his blanket, but we are careful to only give it to him when he wants to go to sleep, so he knows what to expect. The great thing is that when he gets his blanket he goes right to sleep, don't pass go, don't collect 200 dollars.

Jenny is doing well. The doctor says she is definately measuring large, which is expected, due to the size of Brock as a newborn. We are presently starting the design phase of the basement, in hopes of getting a room finished to move the office, prior to the new baby being born. Exciting times in our home!

Growing Up!

Brock is really quite the hilarious little guy. When we transform the transformer, we make noises. Apparently Brock was catching onto this and now things that you have to make sounds when you transform.

We bought Brock a new hat for the Fall. It is pretty fashionable. We will have to see if it is acceptable to uncle Paul. The hat is a 4T! Brock is only 18 months, but I guess he has a HUGE head.

It's a...............BOY!

We just wanted to let you all know that the baby to be born in January is going to be a BOY! The estimated due date was bumped up a week an a half, to Mid-January. Exciting times!

New and improved

This is the new and improved tool to keep in touch with the Tyler and Jenny and Brock family affairs. Hopefully we do a better job keeping this up to date.
