while the weekend and the party were not exactly what we had expected, you were such a trooper and loved the little celebration we were able to have. After getting sick on Wednesday night, you gave your bug to mommy (thursday), daddy (friday), nana and grandpa phil (saturday) and scared away mimi and grandad. Luckily, uncle neill was able to escape without harm. what a weekend!
with such a "memorable" weekend, what we will remember most about Brooks at his first birthday...
- your cheeks!! they are incredible and everyone talks about them. you are an adorable chubby baby with a big belly and great rolls in your legs!
- you are such a fast crawler and love leaving the room on your own and going exploring around the house
- you love opening and closing doors (until you get your toes or fingers caught!)- you love playing peek a boo around doors, walls, and especially with your "lovie"
- you love sitting on the big bead and having daddy come and pounce near you - you have the best laugh!- you just started pulling up on the furniture to your feet and will cruise around if the incentive is good enough, cheerios usually do it!
- while you haven't eaten much this week, you are enjoying mac & cheese, blueberries, banana chunks, and all sorts of gerber 3rd foods.
- you are working on your sippy cup but mostly like to pretend to take a drink and then drop it on the floor.
- you are testing us when you are in your highchair, dropping food to see what we will do (we know your games!)
- you love going to the church nursery on tuesdays for mom's MOPS group and bible study. the ladies say you are such a ham and are always so good.
- you are also a great sleeper - 8pm to 8am and still take 2 naps too.
- at your doctor appointment today you weighed 21lbs and 14oz - just the 36%, but i think you've lost some weight being sick. you were in the 93% for height and head size. Tall, Lean & Smart - just like daddy.
