Episode 4: Year One

Brooks!  11 mos
As I sit here and reflect on the past year... I can't believe how incredibly fast it has gone.  In just a few weeks our little buster will turn ONE!  I feel so unbelievably blessed by the direction my life has gone. Never could I have predicted that I would have this darling child, a good marriage, and a job that I love at this time in my life.  The age of 32 has been good to me and I feel the need to count my blessings!

This entry is all about updates.  I had originally intended to be a "real" blogger but I sure fell off the wagon! Several changes have come since my last few "episode" and I forgot how wonderful and therapeutic writing can be.  I am really going to jump back on writing train and make this blog a go! 

Episode 4:  Brooks  is 11 months 1 week!!!!!!  Love.  Love.  Love him.  Stats:
  • Over 25 lbs (at 9 mos he was 25lbs)
  • He is taking steps every day, but not really "walking" - he actually to 7 today!  He crawls so fast though that I think he has no interest.
  • His first word was "hot"! (He thinks all food in general is called "hot").
  • He can say hot, up, hi, dadda, "mumum" - which is a cracker not me, hi dog, elmo, and just started pointing to pictures and calling them all "books" - he thinks every picture is him!!!
  • He picks up many items, puts them to his ear like a phone and says hi.
  • He LOVES to read Curious George and "touch and feel" animal books.  And he's having a Curious George birthday party!!!
    I just think this is hilarious.. I look weird but look at that FACE!

Here are a few pics from the past 6 months.
