In the Doghouse

Sometimes a man just needs his own space.

Smooches

Pop and B gave kisses through the window. Seriously adorable.

Just Borrowing It

This is Brooks' favorite shirt of Pop's. Seems like it will fit any day now...

Hello? McFly?

During the arctic front, we broke out the heavy duty winter wear, including the Marty McFly vest that Austin and Thu got for B. Seriously, could this kid get any cuter?

A Horse That's Just His Size

Brooks is all about riding his rocking horse these days. He can climb on and off all by himself, and rides to town. Thank you, Mr. Clyburn!

A Man After His Mom's Heart

Brooks has been busy pushing his new shopping cart all over the place. When he pulled out the ketchup bottle, I thought, "That's my boy!"

No!

Brooks is getting more and more "headstrong" these days, as evidenced by his favorite new word: "No".



Pop just asked B for a sugar. Brooks' response: "No."








But Mommy, I'll give YOU a sugar!

Horses!

We spent Christmas in Kerrville this year, and B got to see a horse for the first time! He calls horses "nuhs" because they say "naaaay". Obviously.




Aunt Sarah introduced us to the horses.











Mommy and B started out by patting this guy...

...but B wasn 't so sure about him.












Momma K and B watched Mr. Ed (yes, that's really his name!) shoe the other horses.







Here are Momma K and B patting another one on the nose.

More Presents?

Brooks got to open even more presents on Christmas Eve, and then Santa came on Christmas morning.



Brooks and Mimi Jean both love to unwrap gifts!












Santa brought Brooks a bus that he can drive. (His favorite thing in the world is spotting buses when we drive anywhere.) So far, he hasn't logged many miles on the bus, but he sure does like the button that honks the horn and plays a song...!
