Brooks is really starting to communicate more and more. He's not quite talking, but he points and lately even brings thing to us. He has also learned to raise both his arms when he wants us to pick him up. And today I think he said a version of no no... I have to remember not to tell him that too often. He is such a trouble maker. He is so busy and wants to discover everything, so you can imagine he hears no no quite a bit :). He is also giving hugs and sometimes kisses. The hugs thing is the best thing in the world. I don't know if he finally realized from all the hugs Pat and I give him or what but he has been such a huger lately. He took his first steps about a week ago too. He's been standing for a few weeks now, but seem to have no desire to actually take off walking. We have to get him to stand and then coax him forward. He has mostly just learned that it's fun to fall forward into our waiting arms... not that I'm complaining... I'm not sure I want him to be able to run away yet when he's doing something he's not suppose to be. He's quick enough on all fours as it is. I'll have to post some video... the funniest part about the video is how much Pat and I are cheering and praising the few wobbly steps he takes :) It's funny that those milestones seem to be the most amazing and exciting thing.
In other news... We are also trying to do what we can to make the move up to Salt Lake. We love being down in So. Utah but we are just not able to make a good living down here. We are very excited to move! So far we are trying to rent or sell the duplex, Pat is daily applying for jobs and I am packing up little by little every day. We are hoping that either Pat will get a job offer or the duplex will sell. Either one of those would make the move less stressful. I'll post more news as it progresses!
In the mean time... here are some pictures of Brooks latest and greatest!
He's upset because he can't figure out how to get his toy out of his crib... and I'm not helping. He gets mad when I don't immediately give him what he wants... he gets that from Pat ;)
He LOVES his books... he looks through them first and then holds them up for us to read to him. I hide the books sometimes during the day :) There is only so many times I can read them in a row... I have most of them memorized!
An example of when he hears no no. He loves getting into drawers... and getting everything out.
