Brooks had such a great time at Christmas learning how to rip wrapping paper. And the stuff inside was pretty fun, too!

BFF

Lately, B has decided that Gus is his new best friend. He chases Gussy all over the house, laughing the whole time, and then when he catches Gus, B gives him lots of hugs and sugars... and pulls his tail. So adorable.

Mashed Potato Night

B loves mashed potatoes and can eat them all by himself now!

Snow Day!

It snowed in Houston for the second year in a row! Work and school were cancelled, so we got to have a snow day!

B with Mommy & Grandma Jo

We got to have lots of fun with Grandma Jo over Thanksgiving. Can't wait for more at Christmas!

Places to Go, People to See

Mom, could you hurry and get in the car? I'm kind of in a hurry.

Stopping to Smell the Flowers

One of Brooks' favorite books to read these days is "Pat the Bunny." He used to skip over the page where Paul smells the flowers, but now he has decided that he can smell the flowers, too. He puts his nose right on the page and starts sniffing away!

Giraffe Buddy

Every now and then, Brooks notices the giraffe in his room. He runs over to it, laughs and touches its long eyelashes, and then tries to give him a kiss. Here they are on an adventure.
