Sitting up in the Bumbo

So, Brooks has been practicing sitting up on the floor (with the help of Mommy and Daddy of course). I thought I would try out the Bumbo. I couldn't wait to put him in the seat and bring him in the kitchen with me so he could watch me cook. I sat him in the seat and put it on top of the table, and I gave him some rings to play with and chew on. A couple of minutes later I looked up and he had spit up all over. I took him out and cleaned it up and then put him back in. Not two minutes later and he did it again. Well, this happened one more time before I decided that the Bumbo after a meal wasn't the smartest idea. I tried it again the other day (when I took this picture). I guess it doesn't matter how longer after he has eaten - he still pukes all over the place. Too bad, he seems to like it. He's not even bothered by the puking. This little guy is just the biggest puker that I know. He is constantly spitting up - and nobody is safe! It will be a good day when that little thing in his throat matures.

...go check out the "Our Family Photos" Link. I upload all our pictures on a shutterfly site, and then pick the best for the blog. But just in case you haven't gotten enough of my adorable little boy, I wanted to make sure you knew where you could go to get your fill. Ha.

The eyes of Texas are upon you...

The Longhorns came into town this weekend to play CU, and of course we were there to support the team (thanks Bryan). We had a great day! We spent some time in the foothills so we could capture the fall leaves, and then off to the game. Brooks watched the game from the comforts of the Baby Bjorn. He watched a little and then slept, and then woke up to eat and watch a little more. It's times like these that I really appreciate what a good baby Brooks is. He is so mellow and easy-going. He just hung out and had a great time. I can't count the number of people that pointed and commented on what an adorable baby we were carrying around. He did look pretty stinkin' cute!

Pumpkin Patch

While in Arlington, my mom and I took Brooks to a pumpkin patch. We thought about all the adorable pictures we could get of Brooks in the pumpkins. Well - Brooks had other plans. The poor little guy was so tired (and in baby world that translates into grumpy). We got a few shots before he seriously broke down. As soon as my mom finally picked him up - he fell asleep before we even got to the car. What a rough life?

Pictures from Texas

We were so lucky to get to see family while in Texas. We stayed with my mom and step-dad (Grandma and Pops). My dad and step-mom stopped by as well (Grandpa and Ladybug). Chad's family was also in the area so Aunt Jill and Brodie, Aunt Joy, and Birdie and Scoops all got to come hang out with us. Gosh - do you think Brooks will be spoiled at all with all those grandparents?!

High School Reunion

Alright, so it wasn't our "official" high school reunion, but some of the old gang got back together to hang out while I was visiting Texas. Jennifer and I have babies just a month apart, and it was really fun to see them together. Even though Mollie is a month younger than Brooks, she is actually a tad bit bigger. She was such a flirt when she and Brooks first met, but Brooks was more interested in Jen's watch. Brooks and I also took a little swim in the hot tub. He was so relaxed that I actually had a hard time keeping him awake. Look at how adorable he is with his swimsuit and hat! SO CUTE!

Brooks is 3 months!

I know these are almost three of the same picture - but I couldn't choose the cutest one, so you'll have to deal with all three. Brooks is 3 months old today and I can hardly believe it! Time really does fly by, and they really do grow up so fast! I don't know exactly how much he weighs, we'll see tomorrow, but I'm guessing around 11lbs. He is getting so big!
