I'm a Big Dude!

Brooks is (a little over) 10 months old! 

 I have moments when I start to lament the baby years. 

 I mean, seriously, how could I NOT?  This guy is just so freaking sweet!

 He's in that really great stage where he's curious and fun.  He loves sitting outside and watching cars drive by, though I don't think he quite "gets" what they are.

 He's a little goofball and is so very very happy.  Anyone who works with him in the nursery at church or WSC falls in love.

 Oh, and he was a huge hit when we went to Jo-Ann's yesterday.  It was the first time he sat in the cart and not just in his carseat, so he was charming everyone.  On a side note, they may or may not know me there... 

 Look at these big puppy dog eyes!

 Brooks wasn't certain about this lying down pose... not that he crawls or moves anywhere.  He just likes to sit and observe.

 But things can't be all bad when you have a buddy with you.

Oh, and in case you forgot that there are two other cute kiddos in the mix, here's what his sisters were doing.

 Riley absolutely loves her "big girl bike" and is doing a pretty awesome job riding it.

 She also chose her accessory... which I bought back in the day when I thought bigger was better.  I do still think this bow is pretty awesome, but it is also-- perhaps-- just a touch too big.  Just a touch.

I'll tell ya-- I'm a pretty blessed mommy.
