Brooks is 4 months old!!

Thighs

At 4 months, Brooks weighs 18lbs, 15oz, which is basically 19lbs. That means he gained 7 lbs in 2 months!!! He also grew to 26.5 inches, which is 3 more inches than before. Pretty soon, this boy will be taller than his Mamma.

Helping Dad Work

Brooks has emerged in his finest form as the cutest and happiest baby on the block. Often we wake up to him squealing and testing out his voice. While playing on his mat he often talks to his birdy and owl and squeals with delight as he reaches and pulls his ring towards his mouth. He has found his hands to be of great use as he now reaches out to touch our face.

Birdy love

   
         He is interested in everything around him, following his parents as they walk by, pulling back while being held to see the world. When not squealing, he is quietly observing the world from the little baby bjorn, holding his hands and pondering the sites and activity around him. And being at a boarding school there is plenty of activity.

Brooks brought his Dad's lacrosse team good luck this week, as they won their second game! Brooks was there to cheer on the team, and cheer he did. He loves lacrosse!

Nina and Brooks

     During the week, Brooks had his first official play date with Nina! He is already going after the older women (her birthday is in September). She was so excited to see Brooks, she laughed and laughed and spun her little feet and hands trying to capture Brooks' attention. Brooks wasn't sure what to think, but he enjoyed sitting in her Bumbo nonetheless. Nina was able to get some hand holding in in the end.
