Just a Lazy Day

The three boys of the household.

Brooks was watching football with his daddy.

"Shhh...I'm watching the game with Dad!!!"

Brooks Smiles...A LOT!

Brooks just loves his changing table. He kicks, and smiles, and talks so much when I change his diaper. Usually we hang out and play there for a while.

Rockies vs. Astros

Well, we took Brooks to his first baseball game this weekend. He did really great! He slept through the first couple of innings, ate some dinner, and stayed awake long enough to see the Astros win. It was kind of chilly at the game, so we were thankful for his adorable Astros jacket (thanks Scoops). We went ahead and put his longhorn beanie on (thanks Mimi), just in case people weren't sure where we were from. Sometimes we really do shout TEXANS! That's the way we like it though.

Watching him grow!!!

Brooks is growing so much everyday. I think because he was so tiny, he has a lot of catching up to do. I read today that by 4-5 months a baby should double in size. Brooks just hit 9lbs. 11oz. - already double his birth weight and then some. He is finally growing out of some of his newborn clothes. He even has a couple of wrinkles on his legs.
There is so much that I love about my baby boy.

I love...
...that he can focus on my face
...that when you lift his legs close to his chest - he farts
...when he smiles at all my silly noises
...his bright, big, blue eyes (we'll see if they stay that color)
...how he stands up and practices being a "big boy"
...that he talks back
...how happy he gets on his changing table
...how soft his skin is
...how he struggles to lift his head when playing on his tummy
...that now he can hold on tight to my neck when I carry him around
...that he is a good eater
...EVERYTHING really!

Here are a couple of pictures that I've taken lately - how can you not just LOVE this baby!

Time with Family

This past week Aunt Jill and Cousin Brodie came to visit. It was great to see family! Brodie is 2 and kept us really busy. We had plenty of fun going to the park, swimming, or just playing at the house. Brodie especially loved giving Baby Brooks lots of hugs and kisses.

Brooks's Girlfriend

So, Brooks is already set up for a future wife. This is his girlfriend - Tenley. I know, I know...she is slightly bigger than he is, but he'll catch up. She's only 4 months older, and such a ham. Brooks isn't totally aware of her yet, but we are trying to get them well aquatinted since they are going to spend the rest of their lives together. Check out her blog to see how adorable she is.
