Nee Nee, Gam

Gram got Brooks an Elmo balloon. He loved it so much that he spent the next two weeks taking it with him all over the place, saying "Nee Nee, Gam." (That means "Thank you, Gram.") Here are the guys watching signing time together.

Super Star

Momma K got some fun sunglasses for B to try on. Nice shades, B.

Big Bed

Brooks has moved to a "big boy" bed. Here he is on his first morning after waking up in the new digs.

Fun Morning at the Park

Getting ready to leave for the park.






Climbing up to the slide...









...and down he comes!







Back up again for more fun with Pop.

Weeeeeee!

Practicing During the Off Season

He's working on catching the football, and this is a new technique. Very effective.

Feliz Cinco de Mayo

Brooks made a sombrero at school in honor of Cinco de Mayo. I think he looks a bit more Venetian Gondolier than Mexican Liberator, but either way, he looks adorable.

Take B Out to the Ballgame

Brooks went to his first Astros game last weekend. He got an Astros hat and wore it for the next two days.

Day at the Zoo

Gram, Pop and Momma took B for his first trip to the zoo. He had so much fun and tried to climb over the fences to get up close to all the animals!





Pop! Look at the animals!







Gram showed Brooks the giraffes.







Momma and B posed with the elephant.








Here is Brooks coming back for Momma -- she apparently wasn't keeping up with the program!








Gram and Brooks check out some more animals.









The lions came right up to the window to tell Brooks hi.




























Brooks is telling Gram and Pop that this little goat is sleeping.

Hey goat, are you sleeping too?

Texas Tradition

You're not officially a Texan until you've had your picture taken in a field full of bluebonnets. Brooks liked them so much that we couldn't get him to look up at the camera.
