Brooks is still talking up a storm. Some new words are: milk, bike, flowers, toast, juice, rain, thunder, listen, catch, splash, up, and out. The word that we hear a lot is , "OKAY," which is so sweet the way he says it and is a lot better than NO (which he does say some.) I like the fact that I can ask him a question now and he can tell me yes or no. We are still spending a lot of our day outside and Brooks still asks for a Popsicle at least 5 times a day, usually when we get him out of his crib first thing in the morning! We have been trying the one nap thing for the last week or so. It is frustrating because one day he will sleep 2 1/2 hours and the next he may only sleep an hour (and that is not long enough!) I'm hoping that his naps will begin to be consistently longer eventually!
* Also we took him for his post-op doctor's appointment today and the doctor said everything looks great and we don't have to go back!!! His 18 month appointment is in a few weeks so I will let you know how that goes later!
This is his new trick. I get the camera out and he says Cheeezz and makes this funny face!
Brooks' favorite activity is playing ball. I would say 75% of the day you will find a ball in his hands. During this picture that I took today he was shooting his ball into the laundry basket.
Another new thing that Brooks started doing this month was drinking from a straw - finally! Tonight I made him a peach smoothie and he loved it! A tricky way to get him to eat more fruit!
My favorite thing that Brooks is doing now is praying. He folds his hands together, bows his head, mumbles something, and then says Awmen. Tonight I found him in his room reading his Bible before bed (Oh yeah, he can read now too!) Ha Ha! Anyway, I went to grab the camera and when I got back he was just finishing his prayer ( I wasn't fast enough to get a picture of that:(
