Baby Brooks

we couldn't be prouder to introduce you to our precious new son - Brooks McNeill Fuquay.

born on saturday, january 24th at 2:05am, Brooks weighed in at 7 pounds 4 ounces and is 20.5 inches long. the nurses called him Mr. Handsome, and we couldn't agree more! (maybe we're a little biased!)


a few minutes after delivery - mom was super happy to have this little guy in her arms.

we spent two and a half days in the hospital feeling very well taken care of, and brought little Brooks home Monday. He had all his grandparents in town for his first few days and even a few friends came to visit in the hospital.

on night two, the nurses gave little brooks this cool hat - we called it his rasta hat and seems to fit his mellow personality



chilling out with daddy early in the morning


ready to go home - even this little hat was too big for our little man!
