The Schlittler Gang Est. 2003

Just a few shots of Brock on his new 4-Wheeler.

Brock got a very cool 4-wheeler from Moie and Papaw for Christmas. He LOVED it! By the end of gift opening time, he almost had it figured out how to make it go by himself. It was probably a good thing we had him open it up first because it kept him entertained while we opened gifts. (Ok, so I didn't realize it was going to be sideways when I was downloading, but you get the idea!)

Well, it was another eventful Christmas this year! It was a lot different this year since Brock could actually enjoy all of his presents. We spent Christmas Eve day at TJ's parents' and then Christmas Eve night at my grandparents'. These pictures are from TJ's parents' house. Brock racked up in the gifts department!Our little family of three.... not for much longer.

The Schlittler Gang - Danny, Kindi, Moie, Brock, Papaw, me, & TJ. (And let's not forget Maggie!)

TJ got a pair of earmuffs from his mom and dad. Brock thought they were pretty neat!

TJ turned the big 3-0 today! We celebrated by going out to eat at Red Lobster. Brock of course had to steal the show at the restaurant. I can't tell you how many people stopped by our table on their way out to visit with him. He's a little charmer. He's such a cheese-ball and this picture really shows it! Check out that mouth full of teeth! Here's TJ blowing out his candles. I really had the best intentions making this birthday cake for TJ. I was so excited to try and make it with two layers. Well, I let them both cool down before icing, but when I went to put the top layer on, it cracked big time in the transfer. Talk about a let down. It looked bad when he got home from work, but by the time we got home from Red Lobster, it just looked like a big, gigantic mess. My only saving grace....it really did taste good. (thank goodness!)
What a disaster. I never claimed to be a Betty Crocker. This makes me SERIOUSLY doubt even attempting to make Brock's first birthday cake like I was planning. I had very high hopes for a super cute cake for him, but do I risk it after this catastrophe?

Here are just a few photos of why you cannot leave a 10 month old unsupervised...

On Halloween, he decided he better see if he could fit inside the bar stool. He got a little nervous when he wanted to get out.

Any guesses on what that unknown substance is around his little mouth???? If you guessed lint from the dryer give yourself a good pat on the back! I leave him alone while I do e-mail, he gets into paint. I bring him in here with me while I do e-mail and he gets in the garbage and eats dryer lint. Seriously, what am I going to do when there are two of them?????

Brock has discovered how to clap his hands! It was so funny to watch him figure it out. He was just sitting there playing with Buddy's ball when all of a sudden he just started clapping his hands. He thought it was hilarious! It's TJ actually making the clapping sound in the background, but by golly, he's got it! We're so proud. Just click play!
