"That's one small step for man..."

"...one giant leap for mankind."  Okay, well, I guess mankind isn't really benefiting from this, but Brooks did take his first steps the other day.  I missed the first steps, but I did manage the capture the second try.  Notice that I am totally bribing him by using my cellphone (pathetic, I know).  He's not walking, but definitely standing a lot more and taking a couple of steps when he feels like it.  



Here are a couple of pictures of his recent attempts to stand and possibly go somewhere:

13 Months Old

I have been so sad to not be able and blog lately.  We are currently without internet, so I am forced to relax at Panera so I can surf the web.  Anyways, Brooks turned 13 months the other day.  I don't know if you're supposed to celebrate months after 12, but since we still communicate how old they are by using months, I thought I might as well take this time to celebrate and share some pictures.

* He is understanding more everyday, especially, "NO TOUCH!"
* Can lunge his body into the water off the side of the pool, it's his attempt to jump in
