1 month appointment

More to come soon on Brooks big 2nd Birthday week!

2 years

Hard to believe Brooks will be 2 on Monday!
I know it's typical of every parent to say "Can't believe he/she is already ........ years old"
but it's true.
I got Brooks out of bed the other night and was carrying him downstairs and he felt HUGE in my arms.
It's hard to believe just 2 years ago he was Ford's size.
Crazy how quickly kids grow.
We had his 2 year appointment last week,
Height- 34 1/2 ( 50th %)
Weight- 30 lbs (85%)
He started out great at his appointment,
then the finger prick came and it all went down hill from there.
Lots of tears at this appointment!

pictures before the flood of tears!

We took Brooks to the Peachtree Dekalb Airport last weekend for the first time,

he loved watching the airplanes take off.

It was a fun first for us.

All week he has been talking about the airplanes.

progress

Today was a big day for me,
We all got out of our pajamas,
I took both kids to Target,
the grocery store,
and the park,
all before nap time!
It was my first time taking both kiddos out by myself.
It was a big milestone,
knowing I CAN get out on my own.
I am moving slowly into my new normal with life with 2 kids.
I am trying to make sure Brooks still has a normal routine and is able to get out of the house for fun activities!
I am thankful for family and friends who have taken him out and about these first couple weeks.
Ford is back to his birth weight and then some last week at his appointment, 10lbs 12oz!
He sleeps a lot during the day and occasionally has trouble going back to sleep at night after feedings.
But so far he has been pretty easy.
Brooks is still so sweet with Ford, always giving him kisses and saying "I love you", or "bless you" when he sneezes and covers him up with a blanket to make sure he is warm.
Some pics from the last couple weeks!
