Week 12


Week 12 already! Brooks had an in home hearing screen this week. Colorado has a free hearing screen program & since we had a home birth they have someone from Boulder County Health come out to do the test. He passed and didn't care about having ear phone buds stuck in his ear.

Brooks' new thing is to lie in his crib and "talk" to the mobile. He gets a huge smile on his face, then the legs start going, then the cooing begins.



We tried the pacifier again because he keeps sucking/chewing on everything but after a few minutes he pulls the pacifier out and doesn't want anything to do with it.

Watching Baby Genius DVD while I made some lunch

What the heck is this thing??? 
My mom sent a neck support for his car seat-I think he may be a little to small yet.

                                                        Mom also sent the turtle.

Other big news (for me anyway): We got a new washer & dryer! Woohoo! I don't have to run downstairs any more to re-balance the washer or turn the dryer on twice to get things dry! It will make washing diapers(and everything else) so much easier!

Week 11 May 23rd

We went to our first visit with our pediatrician this week. Brooks did well-he didn't care about being manhandled by the doc. She was very nice and said he looks just perfect. He now weighs 12 lbs 12 oz and is 23.5" long.

Check out the hands.

Watching hockey playoffs. We think he likes hockey-he gets very excited when the players are moving arond then calms down when play stops.

                                                  How do you like my new diapers?

                                            The swing again-it's not just for sleeping.



                                                          Brooks and friends!
He loves these little animals-they were decorations at the baby shower Katie & Melissa had for us.

Weeks 9&10

Having fun with daddy


  We borrowed a swing from my friend Katie and Brooks thought it was a cozy place to sleep.


Our little jailbird!
