Brooks' Baptism

Brooks was baptized yesterday, making for a very special weekend with our family and friends. Here are a few photos from the big day:

Our sweet boy

Pop and Mommy were so proud!

Eating Veggies

Brooks started eating vegetables last month.  So far, we've tried carrots, squash and sweet potatoes. Yum!

Exersaucer Fun

We finally put together the exersaucer for Brooks to play with. He likes it, but is still a little too small for it. (Who would have thought he'd be too small for anything?!)

I love when you can acutally
see him discovering something new!

Just a little bit taller...

Calling Grandma Jo

I think I'd like to call Grandma Jo.








Mom, a little privacy please.







Is this thing even working?









I guess not. I'll just eat it then.

He's on a Roll

"Hey Mom - watch this!"

Visitors!

Last week, B had two special visitors:



Gram, who fed us dinner and
helped us cheer on the
US Men's Soccer team,





and Sarah Goldberg (I mean,
Rottman) who came all the way
from Washington DC. She said
she was coming to see Mommy,
but we know who she was really
after...!

Pictures of Baby B

Momma K came for a visit last week. She and B played hookie from school on Friday and had lots of fun!










On our way to school:












Mommy's Little Tough Guy!

Adventures with Spoon Feeding

Brooks went for his 4-month check-up last week. We found out he weighs 18 lbs, 4 oz. and is 26" long. WOW!
Dr. Savrick gave our big guy the all clear to begin eating solid foods, so here goes:

First Try:








Pop says more got spit out than stayed in. Oh well!

Day Two:








Still not very crazy about it. We'll get the hang of it soon enough...

Pop's Birthday in Galveston

This weekend, we celebrated Pop's birthday by going to Galveston. We had a TON of fun and were so excited to see so many of our friends there!


Brooks finally got to meet Beth!







Lindsay came for the party and loaned B her sunglasses...









Pop played fetch in the ocean with Marty and Gus. They had such a good time!
