Mr. Personality

Brooks' personality continues to shine each day and let me tell you, it's one strong personality!

Most of the time he's just so darn cute...

Sometimes he likes to chill and watch Disney...

Other times he's on the go...

Occasionally its "Brooks' way or the highway"...

Often he's caught being a great helper....

...And he always warms my heart!

Being a mom becomes more indescribable each day.  The joy and pride he brings Tim and I is exuberant. We could sit and watch him for hours.  Right now he is really into doing things on his own and it seems as though he is often busy trying to figure out how things work.  He also loves to dance and laugh.  His smile is most definitely contagious!

Brooks is a whopping 17 months old now!  He is officially a "picky eating" toddler.  It amazes me at how much he understands when we talk.  He can listen and follow directions to go get things in another room.  He is also adding words to his vocabulary, although he is quite stubborn in this area.  He will only say words on his own free will :)  New words include: Munson (our dog), O'pa (my dad), and 'ya' (which I'm quickly realizing my bad habits are rubbing off and I'm working on 'yes').

Brooks is also quite the little dare devil.  He loves to climb everything in sight.  He will flip over furniture, land on his head, and continue laughing.  It seems like I'm constantly running to catch him. He is also cutting a molar on the bottom (I felt it today, thank goodness because the sleepless nights were getting ridiculous).

Oh and my favorite new thing: Brooks will mimic my kissing sound before bed now.  As I walk out of the room and tell him I love him, Brooks will send a "kiss" my way.  More heart-melting! 

Thanks for reading!  Love to you all!
