Brooks rolling over...

I was so excited. I finally got a video of him rolling over last night. It's a short video and its from my phone so it's a little blurry, thank goodness I started recording when I did or I would have missed it. Here you go!

3 Months...

Brooks was 3 months old Thursday. It's hard to believe it's already been 3 months since I had him. He is such a blessing to us and truly makes our family feel complete. Here are some pictures of him.









Here is what Brooks is up to these days:

-He goes to sleep between 9 and 10 and sleeps till 6:30 (for this we are so thankful)
-He eats between 4 and 5 oz every 3 hours.
-He's in size 1-2 diapers after this box we'll move to 2's.
-He can still wear some 0-3 months stuff and can wear some of his 3-6 month stuff.
-He smiles all the time and truly is a very happy baby.
-He's very ticklish on his back and will laugh out loud, it's the sweetest thing.
-He's already rolled from belly to back several times and can roll to his side from his back.
-He holds his head so well and sits so good in his bumbo seat.
-He loves bath time and will just sit and chew on his hands the entire time.
-He loves his jumperoo we had with Emma although he hasn't quite mastered jumping yet.
-He loves, loves, loves his playmat. For this we are thankful for as well because it allows mommy and daddy to get a few things done when we can.
-He LOVES his big sister. He will stop playing or eating whenever she comes up to him and will watch her every move. It's so sweet.

That about sums it up, I'm sure I'm leaving something out. I've said this a dozen times but Emma was a good baby but Brooks has her beat. He is so good and we all love him so much. I can't wait to see what milestones we'll see in the coming months.

Happy Friday!

The Greatest Show on Earth...

Better late then never. Here are some pictures of our trip to the circus. We went with Amber, Jarred, Jacob, Shannon, Blake and Harper. We had a great time and Emma sat mesmerized the entire time. My personal favorite part were the motorcycles in the cage. It was amazing!

The elephants making their grand entrance.



The tigers.



There were 3 people inside this little box, it was unreal.



The motorcycles getting started.



They started with 4 and then kept adding 1 till they got to 7. Here is a picture of them going. I wish I had it on video.



This is a little blurry, it was right above us and they did all sorts of stuff, but when they flipped over it totally got me because I thought they were going to fall on us!



The end of the circus. These guys were really good, they were all jumping together at several different times. It was pretty good also!



Emma and Harper at the end.



We didn't get a picture with Jacob :( . We were a few minutes late and then they left right at the end and we waited for the crowd to die down. But he was there enjoying it all too!

We can't wait to go back next year and take Brooks with us!

A day at the park...

Two weeks ago on Wednesday we took advantage of a very pretty Spring like day and headed to the park with some of our best friends Shannon, Harper and Henley. We had a GREAT time and it made me long for the cold weather to be gone for good and warm weather to be here. Emma and Harper did so good and played really hard and both past out for a nap once we were all home. Here are some pictures from our day.



Miss Henley just hanging out...



Emma loves to slide!



Shannon and Harper coming down the slide. I know it looks like Shannon was turning her head but I don't think she knew I was taking the picture.



Emma and Harper on the merry go round.



These girls are so silly!





Brooks just hanging out wishing he could play with big sister Emma.



I'm a little behind in my posts but we did have such a good time that day I hated to leave it off and I had started it 2 weeks ago and needed to finish it. I sure do wish I was back off work at the park again. But tomorrow is my Friday so I can't complain too much!

Guess who rolled over...

Brooks did!!!!!



I've been trying to capture it on video since Thursday but have had no such luck. However Brooks rolled from his belly to his back Thursday night, not once, not twice but 3 times. I thought maybe it was a fluke but he has continued to do it since. I couldn't believe my eyes. I had just put Emma to bed Thursday night and sat down in the floor with him to do tummy time and next thing you know he rolled over. I was clapping and being really loud apparently because Ben told me to be quiet. He didn't realize what I was cheering about. I flipped him back over to see if he'd do it again so Ben could see it and he did and then did it again. Ben was obviously really proud because next thing you know I find him at the computer trying to find out when they are supposed to start rolling over like that. I looked at my book and it said 16 weeks was typically the earliest. Do we have a genius or what? We think so at least! Brooks rolled over at 12 weeks 1 day! Pretty impressive huh? Friday I guess he thought he hadn't impressed us enough and rolled from his belly to his back to his right (Thursday night he was rolling to his left). Sorry I just had to brag on my sweet baby boy! Hopefully I can post a video soon or pictures at least.

Happy Monday!

Sorry I've been a little MIA...

I started a post about our trip to the park last week with Shannon but haven't finished it yet. So that is coming soon. I've been enjoying all my time with Brooks and Emma because I started back to work yesterday. I had been dreading it and thrown myself a pity party a time or two but it was an ok day. It definitely helps when you like where you work, the people you work with and what you do. However, in saying that, I'm slap worn out from 1 day of work. My day started at 4:55 a.m. and ended at 10:30 p.m. It's going to take some major adjusting to feel normal again. I get off at 4, then I'm off to the gym and home from there at 6, then it's dinner time, bath time and what feels like bed time for both with a little bit of play time to spare. It's a lot different with 2 for sure, but they were both so sweet yesterday and missed mommy lots. When my head hit the pillow last night I'm not sure I moved at all! Brooks is changing more and more everyday. He's the sweetest baby. He's already tickelish and will laugh/kackle, it's the cutest thing ever when you try and tickle him. I'm going to try and video it and put it on here, we'll see how that goes. Until then, I'll leave you with 2 pictures below of my sweet babies. I hope your all having a great week. Good thing is today is my Friday. Not bad for a first week back at work huh? Check with me next week, by this time next Thursday I might be face down at my desk from exhaustion!!

Here is Brooks in his new outfit we got him Friday night.



Emma and Brooks



Brooks in his jumperoo, he's fascinated with it even though he might not be quite ready. He will sit and watch everything for a while though. It won't be long and he'll know how to jump in it.



Here is a picture my mom sent me yesterday with Emma being silly. She looks so grown up in my mom's glasses.

Busy Friday...

My day started with an hour spin class at the gym at 5:15 a.m. this morning. After that I decided to have everyone over today for a play date. We had 7 adults and 12 kids I think. As you can see we were quite outnumbered by kids but I think it went really well. I won't lie I was a little nervous about it before but it was everything I expected so I didn't get all out of sorts like I could have! Here are some pictures of the day. Oh and did I mention I have round 2 tonight! Our girls night out is tonight and its at my house so I'm sure I'll have pictures from it as well. When my head hits the pillow tonight I should sleep hard.





The girls playing doctor!



Wyatt and Braegan sleeping through it all.



Mallory, Harper and Emma being goofy!







Mallory you sure are funny!



No Emma you and Harper sure are funny!



Brooks and Henley...we're just going to go ahead and pre-arrange this marriage!





He's a ladies man already...look closely and you see his arm around her neck. Too cute!



Isn't he just the cutest thing you've ever seen?



That wraps up the first part of our day. I'll be back later with the 2nd part!

Happy Friday!
