Months 20 and 21

Mama, the slacker, strikes again!  I forgot Brooks's 20 month post...oops!  So, here is a combined 20 and 21 month update for our sweet Brooksy!  This little guy is a true mess...one minute he is the sweetest and most cuddly little guy ever, the next minute he is making us laugh with his quirky personality, and the very next minute he is Mr. Grumpy who only wants Mama to hold him and doesn't want anyone else to even look his way.  I am not sure how in the world I would describe his personality yet, but it is so fun to watch it develop.  He is still a true Mama's boy, and is still very far from what I would consider a morning person.  If you have to wake him up in the morning, everybody beware!  Some mornings, Reives (who 99% of the time wakes up happy) asks why Brooks is always grumpy in the mornings.  Brooks is getting more and more interested in puzzles, stickers, and drawing with crayons and markers.  He loves to push the trains on the train table and push his cars and trucks all around the house.  He also loves to play "pillows" with Reives. Basically they find every pillow they can and take turns covering each other up with them.  This entertains them for very long periods of time :)  Brooks is talking like crazy and is even starting to put 3-4 words together sometimes.  He is starting to sing some songs and can sometimes count 1-5....usually skipping a number here or there.  Brooks is still a very picky eater, and I think he would live off of milk and snacks if he could.  He still refuses to each anything with the consistency of yogurt or applesauce, and he also refuses to eat cake or muffins or anything like that.  Other things about Brooks:

-loves to run and give people big hugs
-gave me a big hug a few weeks ago, and said "I love you" to me (without prompting or me saying it first).....be still my heart!
-very attached to his "taci" (paci) and "rags" (his rags which are squares of my old T-shirt)
-favorite foods are fruit and snack foods like crackers and things
-runs instead of walks alot of the time
-is starting to try to kick balls outside
-has his top eye teeth but not the bottom ones yet
-wears 24 month/2T clothes
-loves Mickey Mouse and Elmo
-obsessed with riding in golf carts
-wants to do everything that Reives does :)
-constantly stands at my legs and says "hold me, hold me, hold me" (my poor back)
-has the biggest, bluest eyes I've ever seen...they will melt your heart
