my first pants

we're finally fitting into more cute clothes these days - including pants!

you can't see it, but these have a cute little bear on the rear end too.

we had some fun awake time today ...

Check me out!

we had a wonderful photo shoot of baby brooks with joellynn when the family was in town last week for skiing.
the pictures are incredible...

2 weeks already - that's crazy!

these two weeks have totally flown by, but every minute has been a great new adventure. we are so in love with our little boy! he is already such a sweet little guy. he has the most thoughful looks and is still so mellow.

we love you baby brooks!

any resemblance?

jury's out on who little brooks is resembling more - mommy or daddy.

we'd love your opinion!

brooks loves the deacs!

go deacs! i know they are playing again today, but we had to take a moment to savor the sweet victory on wednesday over the blue devils. for brooks' first wake basketball game of his life, this was a good one!

reminicing back to a year ago, when little xander lewis watched the deacs beat duke in his first week too! how cool!?!

we don't have any little wake outfits yet, but i know brooks was still 100% for the deacons!

we also promise daddy that we will cheer for the rice owls with equal enthusiasm when baseball season comes around!

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!

a four dog night

you may have heard the phrase a "three dog night?" well, here at doggie day care fuquay, we prefer a four dog night.

we call it a river of dogs, but it makes us happy to be able to have all the pups at our house for the holidays. with deac (emily & brad) and bailey (jill & robert) joining our clan, we are having a great week! some might call us crazy, but it's pretty cute when they all get in their beds like this!
