Just a fun little video of Brock and Ronan playing ‘Catch’.

Check out this video.  It’s pretty fun.

I have been terrible about uploading pictures lately, so here is a nice little picture post.

This is the face he makes when I use the flash now.

Look at that sweet face!

Then he looked like this:

A pout?  You ain’t seen NOTHING yet.

Have you ever seen anything so sad?  It breaks your heart.  Woah, baby.

Holy.  Moly.  This is so crazy to me.  My son can WALK.
