11 months down.....

and only 1 more to go! Yep, our 'lil cowboy is almost one! Trent and I agree that in the past month he has "grown-up" so much. He tries to say words.........or maybe we're imagining it! He definitely says "dada," but we also hear him say "ba ba" each time he wants a bottle. Also, and some may think this is crazy, he says his own version of "thank you" when he hands us an object. He mimics us frequently (i.e. facial expressions, clapping, stomping feet, etc). To get our attention, he points and screams at what he wants to show us. I know, I know.....this is normal and what all babies do. This is just our first rodeo, so we think it's amazing! This Spring has already been very eventful, and we have many more adventures planned!

Happy St Patty's Day! Suzanne, Kyle and Kate had us over for dinner

Little Miss Kate in her adorable outfit (as always)

Brooks CANNOT keep his hands still. He has to grab, pinch, poke everything. "That sock looks like so much fun that I CANNOT stop and smile for the camera!"

Play date at Boek's. He has a train track that was fun to destroy!

"Excuse me.....I have some work to do."

"Oh yea......got me a new tricycle!"

Brooks loves pestering Sam, and she is so patient.

It is getting very difficult to get him to sit still. This is the last time I use this sign and try to get him to sit in the chair. It' over, folks!

"I am too old for this mom. I'm OUT OF HERE!"

In a matter of seconds, he was off the chair. DONE
