Anyways, a few days ago, on the 11th, our little Brooks hit the 17 month mark! Seriously, he is not my little baby anymore, which makes me so sad. He is still a Mama's boy, though, so I get plenty of snuggles from my little man. Brooks has such a funny personality. He is still super laid back, but he is definitely starting to show his feisty side. He still loves tractors, trucks, cars, trains, etc. He could stand at the train table for an hour and just push those trains around and around :) He LOVES toys, and he is generally pretty good at playing and entertaining himself. He also loves books and constantly comes up to us with a book in hand and says, "A book." He is talking more and more, and he has put up to 3 words together a few times. He is still such a picky eater, and his diet consists of fruit, milk, and sometimes ham and cheese. Oh, and of course snacks, crackers, cookies, etc. He pretty much goes for the junk food! He loves his big brother, Reives. In fact, when Reives went to music camp this week, Brooks was not sure what to do. He kept looking around and a few times he said, "Reis." So cute that they are such good buddies already! Brooks loves to play outside. His favorite thing to play with outside is a cup and the water faucet, but he also loves to push trucks around, play with balls, etc. He has also become obsessed with his little pocket Bible that he got for his baby dedication. He likes to carry it around the house and say, "Bible." So sweet :) I hope he'll always love to carry around and look at his Bible :)
