Rock England: Dream Maker Come Truer

Our little guy had a great Thanksgiving, and hopes that everyone else did too. Rock spent Thanksgiving making people's dreams come true by spreading the wonder of adorableness to all persons. Well, all persons in the England Homestead and surrounding areas, but that's still alot of dream granting for one baby. Rock had adorableness seminars booked from morning till evening, and he made sure that he had everybody covered by waking up at 5am so he could be awake when people needed him. His seminars were top notch, and you can see some action shots from his performances right here.




"You see people, if you smile all the time then people come to expect it. One way that you can mix it up is to incorporate your fingers into the performance. People love it when babies suck on their hands, so be sure to get that into the game plan."

Rock was pretty popular, and if he had a nickle for every hand that reached out to pick him up then he could buy lots and lots of bottles of Stage 3 Mac and Cheese.
After Thanksgiving was over the whole family (minus the sisters...but you could've guessed that one on your own) brought in the Christmas decorations and Rock coordinated the work. He made sure that the beads and icecicles were all sorted out and in a pretty ball for the tree.






After he had that all sorted out he tackled the garland issues. Seems that somebody thought it should go on the mantle, while someone else wanted it by the stairs. Rock made the brilliant decision to spread it all over the ground so people could be immersed in the Christmas joy.

Rock sure enjoyed exploring all over his grandparents' home, but every explorer runs into treacherous events. Rock was trying to traverse the strait between the couch and the chair when he ran into a snag. Luckily, his own personal Sacajawea was there to save him.

The best part of Thanksgiving? Spending time with family, of course.


Did you miss Rock's latest adorableness seminar? Don't miss your next chance when he visits California and Medford! Book your spot now, since adorableness like his is hard to find!

Turkey Bowl Rock!!

I sure hope you all had Rock starting on your fantasy football team today, because he was pure domination. For those of you that missed it, we got some highlight footage.

Destroying defenses wasn't enough to satisfy his hunger for domination, so he started taking on the innocent suitcase. It was over pretty quick.

Nick tried to calm him down and help him understand that Thanksgiving wasn't all about torching your family on a football field. Rock said "thanks Nick. It's nice getting advice from someone as balanced and mature as you".

Rock was pretty happy to receive is tight Turkey Bowl shirt. He hasn't even puked on it yet.

Rock's Christmas List, Volume V

Lieber Weihnachtsmann,

Wie geht es Ihnen? I am doing well myself. I am excited to inform you that the people have voted on my Mommy's Poll Question and decided what you should bring me. I have requested those items below, as well as a third item that would be super awesome. I would really like everything that I have asked for, and so if you could remind the other Santas of what their job is and how cute and adorable I am that would be greatly appreciated.

Am besten Wünsche

Indiana Rock and the Quest for the Golden Diaper

We have known all along that Rock is a little adventurer. He crawls around everywhere and leaves no book un-slobbered and no video un-goobered. He also loves venturing into the fridge.
He finds lots of treasures under the TV. He is so good because instead of hiding them from everyone else he pulls them out to share. That makes DeAndra so happy.
So far DeAndra has vetoed Rock's requests for a bullwhip. This is a big deal because we know that a quest for history requires a whip to swing on and to tie Nazis together. But Rock is persistent and has fashioned my old belt as his whip. It's worked out pretty well for him so far.


He's been working on his Indiana facial expressions, but he's still got a ways to go.

"Whatever you do, don't LOOK!"

One of Rock's favorite tricks is to smile with his eyes closed. It gets annoying when you want to appease grandparents and update the blog, but all his pictures look like this.


But don't think that he doesn't know how to keep his eyes open. I can think of one thing off of the top of my head that he does with his eyes open.
He keeps his eyes open while crying to make sure that we are watching and feeling so very guilty for not letting him wrestle chairs anymore.

But then he smiles, and we get this:

DeAndra finally talked him into opening his mouth to show off his second tooth that is slowly coming in. I hate this tooth more than almost anything.

Urgent Blog News!!

It has come to my attention that when you click on a link from another blog it will sometimes only show you the most recent blog entry. Our site tracker confirms that some posts aren't being seen nearly as much as others. DeAndra is worried that people are missing out on the awesomeness that Rock provides the world when they fail to check past entries. She exhorts you to peruse the previous blog entries to see what you missed and to appreciate how awesome the entries are that you already saw.

Rock's Christmas List, Volume IV

親愛なるサンタクロース、

御元気ですか? I hope that you are well. I'm writing to you, Japanese Santa Claus, to request these awesome gifts for Christmas. I know I will be delighted to find them ALL under the tree on Christmas morning. And please send my best regards to the other Santas, and please encourage them to finish their shopping early. I'm starting to fear that they are not taking my lists as seriously as they should be. But I trust with you that will not be the case. Right?

誠意をこめて、

Eyes of a Predator

Rock loves his nature shows. He loves watching the lion stalk his prey, slowly and quietly, until its time to POUNCE!! Here he is attacking an innocent wire trying to take a drink from the watering hole. It's the last drink he'll ever take.
Some of you may remember that Rock was on the losing end of a bitter battle with the Tabasco sauce. If you don't remember, you can refresh yourself here. Rock didn't take the loss well, and has been training for the rematch. I have to say, I'm very proud of my little warrior. He came out firing and attacked the Tabasco hard. Tabasco didn't stand a chance.

That's all you got? Pansie.

DeAndra has continued her quest to prevent Rock from becoming a Rocksicle and has resorted to buying him a poofy coat. He's not sure what to think about it, since his bulging biceps don't have that much room to do their thing.

He was a little worried that he would have to get all dressed up to go to Wal*Mart. DeAndra just laughed at him and together they went to Wal*Mart in matching pajamas.

Here is Rock practicing his killer ninja moves. DeAndra doesn't like it when he practices in the house or on kitchen chairs.
