HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BROOKS!!!!

Happy FIRST Birthday Brooks!!!!









I CANNOT believe it has been one year since this precious child was born!!! Brooks has brought so much joy to our lives over the last year. He has such an adorable little smile that warms your heart every time you look at him and he has an angelic face that makes you think he is the sweetest little angel ever....don't let that fool you though :) You can tell he has older siblings because he can certainly take care of himself!!

Some fun 1 year facts about Brooks since our last update at 11 months.....

-He is starting to take steps. If he thinks you are close enough for him to walk to he will just let go and start walking, until he leans too far forward and falls, so be prepared to leap and catch!!

-He has FIVE teeth coming in at once right now which gives him a total of 10!!! Let's just say we have our fussy moments!!

-He loves to play peek a boo....(see the picture above, he thinks putting his hand over his face is "hiding"...it makes me laugh every time!!

-He likes to say hold his hands up like "where did he go" every time he doesn't see Cade....it is super cute!!

-His vocabulary now consists of ball, duck, dog, bye bye, mama, dada, that, uh oh and that.

-He is a little speedster, he can steal one of Cade's toys and get around the corner faster than you can say "Brooks give it back to Cade"...it is halarious to watch the get away.

-He gets into everything now, pulling cabinets open, shutting doors, destroying toys. He loves to sit in chairs and look at books which is about the only time you can get him to sit still. He loves to play with Cade and you can tell he admires his brother so much. He tries to do everything Cade does and quickly figures out he is not big enough yet!!

-He is officially drinking whole mile and eating all table food, no more baby formula or food WAHOO!!

Josh and I are so thankful that God has blessed us with this beautiful, healthy, sweet, happy, and  loving little boy!!! We feel so lucky as parents to have such wonderful kids who bring so much joy into our lives. Life doesn't get much better than this!!!
