11 months on Christmas Eve


Ringing in 11 months on Christmas Eve was really fun.  Brooks put on his vintage "Peanuts Christmas" shirt and had a blast opening his first present and celebrating with Nana and Grandpa Phil. 

This month may have been the most eventful yet with lots of new endeavors for our little guy.  To top the list is certainly the crawling!  He is unstoppable and i'm not sure why we were in such a hurry to get here!  Brooks certainly is cute though when he plays peek a boo around a corner or door and follows you quickly from room to room. 

Brooks also started pulling up on tables, chairs and toys and seems to like playing more independently with his toys.  He loves any toy with doors or flaps and gets excited when he figures out how to open and close them.  Unfortunately for us, this also translates into enjoying opening and closing every other cabinet and drawer in our house!

the "photo shoot" had one funny low moment when i wouldn't let Brooks out of his chair!  we quickly recovered.


Brooks's favorite game of Christmas - pulling the dishtowels off the stove

Checking out his presents and ornaments - Brooks especially liked the picture ornaments of Richard as a little boy.

Merry Christmas Nana
