Happy Birthday, Brock!

I remember the ultrasound when we found out we were having a boy.  The fact that we were having a boy was very OBVIOUS in the ultrasound (which made Nick super proud), but I made the ultrasound tech say the words..."It's a boy!"  I was so excited.  After being dead wrong on Ali being a girl, I didn't trust my mother's intuition.  I just wanted a healthy baby, but was absolutely thrilled we were having a boy. It was the first boy on my side of the family.  I remember my brother walking around one pizza night holding a pile of tutus and dress up clothes in one hand and  Paige in the other. The big girls were running around screaming and TJ said in exasperated voice, "We need a boy around here!"  It was so true!

Brock has been such a blessing! I can't believe he's been with us a year. I love that little boy (although he's not that little).  He adores his Dad and lights up the minute he's around.  He follows his big sister around wanting to be part of whatever she's doing and driving her nuts in the process.   His smile warms my heart like none other. 

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!
