We celebrated Brock's 4th birthday this past Saturday at Chuck E. Cheese. Brock and Ella had so much fun running around and playing all of the games. Uncle Adam took Brock around to show him what Chuck E. Cheese was all about. Sophie, on the other hand, didn't like the commotion at all. It was too much for her to take in at one time. She was so happy to be back home in her "normal" environment.
Brock woke up a little before 6:00 on his birthday (the 18th). I told him that we could do whatever he wanted for the entire day. He decided that he wanted to play computer games and then watch cartoons. He ran around and played with Ella for a little while, and then it was back to vegging out. I had activities planned for them to do, but since he doesn't get to play on the computer a whole lot, he wanted to take advantage of that. Daddy brought him home his traditional birthday doughnut and then he got to decide what we did for supper. He wanted to go to Burger King, so that's where we went. He is so excited to be 4 years old.

Let's see how big you are...

He said that he wanted a spider cake for his b-day, so with
a little magic from Mommy and Daddy, a spider cake was created.


The next morning, I told him there was a surprise for him in the fridge.
He wasn't expecting to see a huge spider staring at him. "Ahhhhh!"

Daddy tilled up the garden on Sunday, and
Brock and Ella had a blast playing in the dirt.

We had Brock's 4-year check-up today, and he is growing good. 60th percentile for both height and weight, so he is right at the 50th percentile for his body mass idex (just perfect!). Way to grow, Brock!
Sophie has now been rolling from her back to her tummy! Here is a video of her doing her crunches and leg lifts:
