Like a Sponge

Brooks seems to be soaking everything up these days!  He is now 15 months and busy as ever.  I am really enjoying his little personality.  He loves to make me laugh. He is very proud when he can show you his head and new this week, his ears!


He has also added a few words to his repertoire, although he never says words on demand.  His new words include: choo choo (as in train), duck, go, and bye. He also tries to repeat our words in conversation.

One of our favorite things Brooks is doing is giving his mommy and daddy kisses.  Once again, he won't ever do it on demand.  But he picks the sweetest moments to stop and give kisses.

Brooks went to the doctor last week for his 15 month check-up.  The doctor was very pleased with his learning and complimented daddy on doing so great with him!  His stat were:
Weight: 23 lbs. 10 oz. (63%)
Height: 31 in. (42%)
Head: 18.5 in. (55%)

Brooks has been quite the handful at church lately.  We obviously can't sit in church because he can't sit still or stay quiet (which is understandable for a 15 month old).  Therefore, we stay in the "cry room" which seems to be more like a playground.  Last week, Brooks watched about 6 toddlers having social hour and on our way out he tried "running" like one of the older boys.  It was so funny!  Tim and I laughed at his speed walk, he'll get there one day but for now we will enjoy the laugh :) 

One of Brooks favorite games these days is "Where's Brooks?" while he covers his eyes.  Every time he gets so excited when we say "There he is!"  Here is a picture of him playing this game with the cabinets:
