Well...my sweet Brooks is 1/3 of the way through a year....I can't believe it! It is so much fun to see his little personality developing. He is super sweet and cuddly and super smiley! He LOVES to cuddle and be held, and he loves to be talked to. He does not like to miss out on anything! He loves his big brother, Reives and is smiling at him more and more. Everyone who keeps Brooks talks about what a good, sweet, and easy baby he is. He really is pretty laid back for the most part :)
He is sitting in his Bumbo a good bit now, and he also likes his floor mat and bouncy seat. He still likes his swing most of the time, but he is not sleeping in it as much now. He seems to be transitioning from 4 naps to 3 naps, and he eats anywhere from every 3-4 hours during the day. He still wakes up 1 or 2 times a night for his Mama to come and put his paci in his mouth, but sleeps for about 11-12 hours at night. Brooks is a stomach sleeper, and we are starting to have more issues with him rolling to his back and not being able to get back to his stomach :( I hope he can learn to roll the other way very soon!!!!
Here are some pictures of my sweet boy on his 4 month birthday:
We love this little guy so so much!!!
Reives
Little R is going to be 2 years old in 2 months! WOW! It seems like every week he is changing. His communication is getting better and better, although many of his words need "interpreting." He has put 2 words together a few times now, "more deer" and "bye bye Daddy." He constantly says "Ta ta" (thank you) and "pees" (please.) He loves to give kisses, high fives, and fist bumps to everyone. If one person gives him one of those things, he wants to give one to everyone in the room...seriously. At restaurants, he starts looking for people at other tables to do these things to. It cracks us up! He loves to be just like Daddy...wear his hat like Daddy, wear Daddy's shoes, wear his sunglasses like Daddy, etc. It is so cute. He asks for Daddy all day long, and sometimes when I tell him that Daddy is at work, he hits something because he is mad. (I try not to laugh b/c it is really funny!)
Reives is still afraid of loud airplanes, but he seems to be getting a little less afraid now. He is also not too keen on thunder. He loves to play with water and loves the pool. We have spent many mornings at the pool recently, and he loves to splash around in the kiddie pool. Trains, cars. and trucks seem to be Reives's favorite things right now. He loves to push around his "choo choo" and "tchars."
Despite daily tantrums and fits, Reives is at such a fun age. He is learning so much, and it is just so fun to watch. It is fun to watch him get excited about things, and pick up on new activities and words. He is like a little sponge!

We love this little guy to pieces!
