B.A.M.: Catching Up! (Part 1)

Mommy love

It's been well over two months since I posted (due to technical issues) and there is SO much to cover.

After our visit with Colin's dad (Papa), we were busy packing up our little apartment. On July 25th we were moved (for the first time ever we had movers) to a bigger apartment on campus! So that means we spent the next few weeks unpacking and settling in to our new home, which takes a lot longer to do with a baby. Brooks's first night was rough but soon he settled in to his new room and home like a champ.

What's new? Well for starters Brooks got a high chair and thus began the real solid feedings and Moms start to homemade baby food. Who knew it would be so much fun?! Among his favorite foods are avocado, banana, oatmeal, sweet potato, apples and pears, blueberries and cherries, plums and squash. What he truly hates are peas. Who can blame him?

Swing time

Brooks took his first spin on the swings at the playground which is right by our new home. And after breaking his jumparoo from so much bouncing, and going without for a week, a newly used one was found and Brooks was happily bouncing again!

Brooks took his first trip to Ikea to get some rugs and toys for his room and he loved the whole Ikea experience, especially the part where Mom walked in to the men's room.

Brooks has mastered sitting, crawling, rolling, and rocking on his knees. Up next - the crawl!
