B and His Pop

A couple sweet photos of my fellas.

Father's Day Weekend

We had a busy and wonderful Father's Day weekend. Brooks celebrated it by saying "Mama" for the first time. :)

Other fun activities:

Bubbles in the driveway with Gram, Pop and Marcellus


















Playing with the poochies








Swimming






Father's Day brunch
(with the two best dads around!)









Cheering on the US Men's team to a victory!

What a weekend!

Clapping

Brooks is really having fun these days with clapping. On occasion, if you ask him to show you how to clap, he'll actually do it! (So smart for under 9 months old!) He is also a sucker for clapping if you say, "Good job!" And then there's always plenty of clapping just for the sake of clapping.

Gone to Santa Fe

The whole fam went on a trip to Santa Fe to visit Grandpa and Momma K. Brooks had a great time in the big plane and was a great traveler. He sure does take it easy on Mommy and Pop!

Mealtime was an adventure in our new highchair











We played inside but also spent a lot of time enjoying the Santa Fe weather.







After a great trip, Pop and B shared the view on our way home

Swim Lessons

Earlier this month, we started swim lessons. Brooks was an absolute champ, and was already trying to stick his head under the water on his first day! He is a little fishy in the making.

Finger Foods

Brooks has started eating a few finger foods. So far, we have experimented with pasta, Puffs and (of course) Cheerios! Here is his first Cheerio experience.











Do I like 'em?









You bet I do!







Yeah, I got a Cheerio on my chin. Jealous?

Crawling

As of the end of May, Brooks is officially crawling. (No more dragging his body along with one arm!) Since then, he has gotten really fast, and Mommy and Pop are just trying to keep up!













His maiden voyage down the hall toward Mommy & Pop's room

Standing Up

Brooks has so much fun showing us how he can pull up all by himself in his play area.




Mommy, are you watching?









Here I go!

I did it !!

Hey, where'd you go?

The Red Cup

At Slade's party, Brooks drank some water from Mommy's Red Cup.










Thank you to Mr. Bill, who taught us that the Red Cup is the best toy in the toy box. We won't leave home without one again!
